Kirk couldn't believe Caroline had figured that out. "You don't have to torture yourself," Caroline said weakly. "I'll help you make a decision.""Carrie—""Stay with me. I'm not afraid. I beg of you. Please stay," Caroline begged, tightly grabbing Kirk's arm."No." Kirk shook his head frantically, feeling his sadness engulf him. "No, Carrie. You'll be in pain—""I'm not afraid. Really, I'm not." Caroline looked at him pleadingly. "Mr. Y, please stay. If you leave, I'll suffer every second of the day. But if you stay by my side, I'll only be in pain occasionally."Speaking of this, Caroline smiled merrily. "In this case, it's worthwhile for you to stay by my side. Don't you think so?"Kirk looked at the smile on Caroline's face, feeling as if a hole had been gouged out of his chest."Carrie, please let go of me first." When Caroline was about to refuse, he whispered, "Let me go out and think about it."Caroline obediently let go of Kirk's hand. "Then, figure it out an
Kirk was already tempted by Caroline's words. But after Betty and Marietta's persuasion, he made his decision.He turned around and looked at the open door upstairs. He felt as if he could see an expectant Caroline through the door.At the thought of this, Kirk hastened his steps. After entering the room and approaching Caroline, he couldn't help but slow down again.When Caroline saw Kirk returning, her face lit up with a smile. "Mr. Y."Kirk placed his finger on Caroline's lip. He looked into her eyes and said, "I choose to stay." Caroline's eyes lit up at his words.Kirk looked at her joyful gaze and said ruthlessly, "But I have one condition."Caroline asked, "What is it?"The more she looked forward to this, the more uncomfortable Kirk felt. "I'm going to tell you my real name. If you make sure your illness doesn't get aggravated, I'll stay."Caroline was slightly startled. She finally understood why he had never told her his name. His name had to be important. Perhaps s
Caroline looked at Kirk with an unnatural gaze.Kirk swallowed at the sight. After a moment, he uttered, "Yeah, you passed."Then, Caroline finally closed her eyes with relief.Kirk felt his chest tighten when he saw the sweat on Caroline's face, and he touched Caroline's forehead with trembling hands.Meanwhile, Michael didn't say anything about Kirk's decision. Since he hadn't expected the current development of this situation, he didn't know how things would play out in the future. In that case, letting them make their own decisions was better...."Are you planning to return to Easton?" Betty and Marietta, who were sitting on the couch, frowned at the same time.Caroline had already recovered after resting for a few days. Kirk had been taking care of her the entire time. However, strangely enough, she had never passed out due to her aggravating condition.Michael explained that Caroline had raised her tolerance threshold. Previously, the sensitive nerves in her brain wo
After some discussion, Marietta and Betty made a decision.Caroline and Kirk were speechless."Marietta, as it happens, you can start searching for your daughter again. "Didn't you say that your daughter is part of one of the big four families? We'll just investigate them one by one. I'm sure we'll find her."Marietta seemed a little unenthused to find her daughter. She feared that she would get the wrong person again.Betty could tell what Marietta was thinking. She patted her good friend on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I promise to help you find your real daughter this time. "Remember what the Yates family does? Nothing will go wrong with the DNA test this time."Marietta glanced at Caroline. She also suspected that something went wrong with the DNA test back then. It was a pity that Caroline had lost her memories, so she couldn't remember what had happened at all.If she had remembered, she could talk about what happened. Perhaps everyone could put their heads
Fortunately, Kirk held Caroline steady from behind her. Even so, she was barely able to stand firm.Betty and Marietta were also shoved aside. When they turned around, they realized that they had been pushed aside by some bodyguards.Betty and Marietta frowned at this discovery. They looked toward the commotion and noticed the bodyguards hard at work. They seemed to be working for a celebrity.Then, they heard the fans' yells at the entrance. "Aurora! Aurora!"Marietta was a playwright, and many stars were proud to be part of her plays. So, when Betty saw this, she hurriedly turned to her friend. "Marietta, who on earth is this celebrity? Are they that famous? Why are they being so arrogant?"Marietta already knew who those fans were waiting for after hearing their yells. Moreover, Aurora was the one who helped her persuade Yvonne to accept her as her mother. She remembered that very well."She's just a washed-up actress." Marietta didn't have anything nice to say about Auror
Aurora's agent was confused. "Aurora, what do you want that for?""Quit asking questions and just do what I tell you!"The agent had to wait for the van to drive a certain distance before getting out and going back to the airport.Meanwhile, Caroline and the others, who had experienced the impact of Aurora's spectacle, had already arrived at the airport's entrance.Sean and Gwen were waiting for them at the door. Seeing them, Gwen waved her hands excitedly. Caroline quickly walked toward Gwen in excitement. Although they hadn't seen each other for only half a month, they still couldn't resist hugging each other joyfully.When Sean saw the two of them like this, he also walked up and hugged Kirk. "Congratulations."Of course, he was talking about Caroline asking Kirk to stay by her side. Either way, it was a fortunate outcome."You brat. I can't believe you only care about Kirk and not your own mother," Betty grumbled. Ever since Caroline had learned Kirk's name, Betty didn
Everyone went to have a meal together at the hotel before going home. Kirk dared not take Caroline back to their old house, so they could only stay at the hotel for now.After asking Kirk for permission, Gwen pulled Caroline aside to discuss Collins Group."Wait, did I acquire Collins Group?"Caroline remembered what had happened a year ago, so she knew that the Collins family had joined the big four families after wringing the Evans Group out of the system. However, she had never dreamed that she would acquire Collins Group."A-Am I really that capable?" Caroline grabbed Gwen's arm. "Tell me, Gwen. How on earth did I acquire Collins Group?"When Gwen saw that Caroline was fine, she boldly continued. Of course, she didn't tell her the full truth. She simply made some adjustments to the story."After you became the CEO of Evans Group and grew it, you had enough money to acquire Collins Group." Gwen smiled at Caroline, trying to make her lie look more convincing."A-Am I reall
Caroline hadn't had the confidence to manage a large company before she lost her memories.Gwen waited for Cheryl to send the documents before handing them to Caroline. "These are major companies. If they don't work with us, we'll suffer huge losses."Caroline glanced at the names of the companies. They looked familiar. These companies stood out in their respective fields and had a strong say in them. However, they weren't a match for the Morrisons. So it was understandable that they had wanted to back away from the contract as soon as Eddy put pressure on them.Gwen saw that Caroline had already begun studying the list of companies, so she walked out quietly without disturbing her.Cheryl and Sonia had been waiting downstairs at the hotel for a long time. When they saw Gwen walk out, they quickly approached her."How did it go? Was Caroline okay when you talked to her about Evans Group?"Sonia and Cheryl were also anxious.Gwen gave them a relaxed smile. "Yeah. She's going th
