Eddy hugged Adrian's waist, but his eyes were fixed on Caroline.The door was falling closer and closer to Caroline. Eddy’s inner conflict became more intense. Should he let Adrian go or not?He didn't know the answer to that question. That was because a voice was coldly telling him that since he couldn't get her, he should make sure no one did!"Eddy!" Adrian raised a fist and hit Eddy's stomach.However, Eddy didn't even budge. He continued to hug Adrian tightly. Although the pain in his stomach had spread throughout his body, he still refused to let go.At this critical moment, a figure moved as fast as lightning. He quickly grabbed Caroline, who was on the ground and rolled away to a safe spot. As that person steadied his feet, the door behind him tumbled violently.Pieces of broken glass scattered throughout the entire lobby, injuring many people.Only Caroline was safe in that man's arms. However, she already passed out. So she would never know that Mr. Y was here toda
Just as Kirk was about to start the car, the passenger door opened.While Kirk was taken aback, Adrian sat in the passenger seat.Kirk said nothing to him and drove straight to Michael's clinic.In the car, Adrian occasionally turned to look at Caroline in the back seat. "Is Caroline going to be okay?"Kirk tightly gripped the steering wheel, making the veins appear in his arms. "She'll be fine!"Seeing this, Adrian didn't ask anything else. He simply stared at Caroline silently.Kirk drove as fast as he could. He was so fast that Adrian had to turn back and grab the armrest several times.With great difficulty, the three of them arrived at Michael's clinic.When Michael saw Kirk carrying Caroline, he quickly asked, "What happened?"Kirk looked at Adrian.Adrian didn't mess around, either. He told them that Eddy mentioned Kirk in front of Caroline. The more he spoke, the darker Kirk's expression became. By the time Adrian had finished speaking, Kirk’s expression was beyond
Two hours were just that precious to Kirk. He didn't want to waste a single moment of it. If he could, he would use all his wealth to make those two hours infinite. Unfortunately, he was an ordinary person who was helpless against the power of time. Soon, two hours passed by. Kirk had no choice but to leave the room before Caroline woke up.After walking out of the room, Kirk saw Sean and Gwen, who had arrived at some point. Adrian was still there too.Adrian had obviously figured out why Sean was here. So he mocked Kirk when he saw him, "That's not cool of you, Mr. Kirk. You've agreed to let me take Caroline away. But you still asked your friend to—"Kirk said calmly, "Before you worked with me, you should have known there's no way I would let you take her away.""Indeed, but I didn't know you were Eddy's second uncle at that time. If I had known your identity, I would never have foolishly proposed to work together."Kirk walked up to Adrian and said, "Name your price."Adri
"But that's not right. That person seems to be in my dream." The more Caroline talked about it, the more confused she was. She grabbed her hair in pain. "I don't know … Everything is a mess. It's even messier than a bunch of threads knotted together …""All right. It's okay. It's okay." Gwen gently patted Caroline's hand. "You don't have to think about it, Carol. You just need to remember that someone rescued you. You don't have to marry Eddy anymore."Caroline looked at Gwen and nodded very slowly. "Okay.""Then … you …" Gwen pulled Sean over, not daring to look him in the eyes. "Why don't you go abroad with this guy?""Mr. Yates?" Caroline remembered meeting this man before."Caroline."Caroline heard another voice, which attracted her attention. The person who spoke was none other than Adrian. He looked at Caroline with a smile. "Caroline, do you still remember me?"Caroline blinked in confusion. This man looked familiar. After a while, she asked, "Were you the one
After ensuring everything was fine, Caroline followed Sean onto the plane.She held Gwen's hand reluctantly. "Gwen, are you sure you don't want to leave the country with me?"Gwen glanced at Sean, but he had already turned his head and looked away. "Carol, I'll go over to see you when I can. Make sure to rest and recuperate out there."After hearing what Gwen said, Caroline knew she wouldn't be coming with her. Feeling disappointed, she said, "I'll take good care of myself. Take care of yourself as well.""Yeah, I will." Gwen looked longingly at Sean. After a moment, she couldn't resist asking, "Can we talk in private, Mr. Yates?"Sean had no choice but to face Gwen. He looked down and held back his emotions. "Okay."The two got up and walked along the corridor to another room. The moment the door closed, Gwen hugged Sean.Her actions startled Sean, but they slowly filled his empty heart. "Sean.""Yeah?""Take care of yourself too." Gwen had a lot of things to say, but in
Avery's expression shifted slightly. "Where is she now?""She left by plane," Eddy sneered, slumping on the couch. He felt like his heart had been torn to pieces. He was in so much pain that it hurt to breathe."She must have gone abroad. Don't worry. Since we're working together, I'll keep my word. Remember, I still want to marry Kirk."Eddy wasn't optimistic. "Do we still have a chance?""Of course. As long as they're still alive, we have a shot. You're not going to give up so soon, are you?"Hearing her words, Eddy slowly calmed down. "Yeah. As long as she's still alive, I have a chance. So what should I do next?""You don't have to do anything for now. Since she's out of the country, I'll deal with this. I'll tell you if I need your help."Eddy hummed in assent. Then, he asked, "We're more or less acquainted, right? Can you tell me who you are now?"There was silence on the phone.Eddy said, "It's hard for me to trust you if you don't tell me who you are.""I'm Avery Mend
Along with the yell, countless petals fell to the ground. They scattered on the floor, forming a very romantic scene.Caroline followed the trail of petals and saw a huge cake in the living room. The words "Welcome, Caroline" were written on the cake. "This must be Caroline." A luxuriously dressed woman walked over. She took Caroline's hand and looked her over.Sean tried to speak up several times, but he couldn't get a chance."Wow, you're so beautiful. My son has really good taste. Carrie ... Can I call you Carrie?"Only then did Caroline realize that this woman was Sean's mother, Betty Curry. Moreover, she seemed to have misunderstood the situation. Caroline said, "Mrs. Yates Senior, I-I'm not Mr. Yates' girlfriend."As soon as she said that, Betty immediately looked at Sean. Sean shrugged. "She's really not my girlfriend. Besides, I told you I'm bringing a female friend home. How did you think she was my girlfriend?"Betty looked at her son with disdain. "You're almost 30
Sean said, "But she doesn't want to admit that I'm her boyfriend." His words left Betty confused. Sean continued, "Stop asking about it. It's complicated between us. But I'll do my best so you can be a grandmother soon."Betty asked, "What happened to Kirk and Caroline? Why didn't he take her home?" Sean sighed as he looked at his nosy mother. He figured that she might cause trouble with that curiosity of hers if he didn't tell her about Caroline and Kirk. So he gave her a brief explanation about what had happened. Betty was stunned after she heard the whole story. "So this is why we mustn't bring Kirk up in front of Caroline?" "Yes," answered Sean. "Such a pitiful child. I never expected that Kirk, who has always been so focused on his business, would become so obsessed with a woman," Betty said. "Yeah, who would've thought that Kirk, who stood his ground against Finn, would be reduced to such a pathetic state over a woman?" said Sean.Betty said, "Caroline has it bad
