Warmth filled Caroline's heart. She took the soup and said, "Thank you, Jamie." Jamie scratched her head, blushing shyly as she sat down. "Getting caught in the rain is bad enough. Catching a cold is even worse. I don't want you to get sick. Getting injections can be painful, you know." Caroline picked up her spoon. "I know, but Jamie, Evan was also drenched in the rain. He's in the hospital now. Would you like to go see him?" The mention of Evan caught Jamie off guard for a moment. After a brief pause, she replied, "He'll be fine. Boys have strong bodies. Girls are the ones who need more care." Hearing Jamie's words, Caroline could not help but feel a pang of sadness. Jamie's mindset seemed to still be stuck in Evan's childhood. Caroline took a sip of the soup, and its warmth spread from her throat to her stomach, soothing her tensed body. As Caroline continued drinking, Jamie continued to gaze at her. "How great it would be if my son married you," Jamie suddenly said.
After reading Freya's response, Caroline fell into a daze for a long time. Perhaps Jamie didn't want to go back with Evan because she was afraid that seeing Evan would trigger memories from the past.- After finishing a meeting at the office in the afternoon, Caroline got off work early and went to the supermarket. She bought a lot of groceries and then picked up the children from school. Since Evan was hospitalized, Axel would be staying at her place for a while. This was exactly what she wanted. Caroline brought the children home, and when she saw Jamie, the latter seemed to have returned to her original innocent and cheerful demeanor. Caroline personally cooked dinner and prepared a table full of delicious dishes for the children and Jamie. Liora leaned against the table and asked excitedly, "Mommy, is it someone's birthday today? There's so much delicious food." Caroline smiled and shooed Liora away from the table, saying, "You can't eat until you wash your hands cle
Just then, Kenny walked in from outside. When he saw so much delicious food on the table, he walked up to Caroline angrily and complained, "G, why didn't you tell me you were cooking so much delicious food!" Caroline pulled out the chair beside her and said with a smile, "I thought you weren't coming back today." Kenny sat down with a huff. "You heartless woman. You abandoned me to go out and play on your own and didn't even say hello when you came back! I've been running between the company and the factory, it's exhausting—" Before Kenny could finish complaining, Jamie stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth. Kenny was stunned and quickly chewed and swallowed it. Kenny was actually a little afraid of Jamie. He hadn't forgotten the last time she strangled him. Embarrassed, Kenny scratched his head awkwardly. "Thank you, Jamie!" Caroline knocked her knuckles on Kenny's head and said, "She's Evan's mother." "What?!" Kenny stood up from his chair and asked in disbelief
Jamie was surprised, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "Will it really take that long? I wanted to give the children a surprise." Caroline took Jamie's hand and said, "Yes, it will take a while. So, can we go upstairs and rest for now? We have to go to the company together tomorrow, and I don't want to sleep too late." Jamie looked at Caroline pleadingly. "Carol, Dr. Bailey has left, and I don't want to sleep alone." Caroline smiled. "Alright, you can sleep with me." Jamie smiled immediately and held Caroline's hand tightly. "Okay, let's go upstairs!" -At 10:00 p.m., in a coffee shop.Daniella sat in a private room with a reporter. She had her sunglasses on. She sipped her coffee casually and said, "So that's what happened." The reporter tapped away on his laptop and said, "Ms. Love, let me summarize it again. You said, the mother of MK's CEO, Evan Jordan, was a diplomat. After marrying Draco Jordan, she even seduced Casey Jordan. This caused Casey Jordan to
Caroline: [I don't have a conscience? Why don't you take care of this family then?] After replying, Caroline got up and washed up. As she finished brushing her teeth, she received a message from Evan.Evan: [Last night, I went overboard with my words.] Caroline conceded upon seeing his message. She hadn't originally intended to reply, but then she noticed the typing indicator on the screen. She decided to wait and see what he would send next. About a few minutes later, she received another message.Evan: [What are you busy with today?] Caroline sighed.Caroline: [What exactly are you trying to say?] Evan's face darkened when he saw the message. Wasn't he being clear enough? He suppressed his frustration and replied: [Won't you come to the hospital today?] Caroline leaned against the sink, feeling exasperated as she typed her response.Caroline: [You want me to come to the hospital just so we can argue again? And listen to you say nonsensical things?] Evan countere
Caroline pinched her eyebrows and said, "Once you have the surgical plan ready, give me your contact details. Once I've confirmed it, you can carry out the surgery." Seeing that Caroline had relented, the doctor was overjoyed. "That's great!" Jamie stood by the bed and looked at Lily. She pointed and said, "Carol, is this your mother?" "No, this is Lily. She took good care of me for five years," Caroline said as she sat down by the bed. She looked at Lily with a bitter gaze. "Lily is like family to me. Both my biological mother and my adoptive mother have passed away." Five years had passed, and she hadn't visited her adoptive mother's grave. She was afraid that Katie would blame her for being useless, as she still couldn't bring her murderer to justice. Jamie's heart ached upon seeing the tears rolling down Caroline's cheeks. She picked up a tissue to gently wipe them away. Caroline looked up in shock. Jamie placed her hands on Caroline's cold face, smiled faintly, and
Caroline was startled by the commotion behind her. By the time she looked behind, Jamie had already shoved her away and clutched Evan's throat. She pinned Evan on the bed and shouted ferociously, "It's you! It's all you! You ruined me! I want you dead!"Caroline was terrified and hastily threw away the chicken soup in her hand to stop Jamie. "Jamie! It's Evan! Let go of him!"Evan did not move, and his face flushed from the suffocation. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow as he said with great effort, "Don't hurt her!"Caroline ignored him and continued to hold onto Jamie. "Calm down, please? Evan's ribs are broken! Don't pin him down with your legs!"Yet, Jamie disregarded Caroline, so the latter called for help. Soon, the nurses came and called for the doctor after witnessing the situation in the room. The doctor came with a sedative and injected Jamie with it. Jamie lost her strength gradually and collapsed next to Evan. The doctor rushed over to check on Evan,
Naomi said, "Yes, he is waiting in the reception area. Would you like me to bring him in?"Caroline immediately stood up. "Please send him in now!"Naomi headed out to bring in the guest while Caroline prepared drinks. She must be diligent for TYC's first collaborative project. Joseph Gull entered, and Caroline held out her hand to him. "Hello, Mr. Gull."Joseph smiled and shook Caroline's hand. "Your office has a very warm ambiance, Ms. Shenton."Caroline said, "Thank you for your compliment."They both sat on the sofa, where Caroline poured Joseph a cup of coffee. "Please drink, Mr. Gull."Joseph said, "Thank you. I'm here today to check on your opinion on the students' summer school uniform."Caroline said, "Frankly, it's my first time designing a school uniform. So, I would like to listen to your opinion, too."Joseph looked at Caroline in astonishment because she was the first person who sought his opinion.He did not answer immediately but said, "Tell me about your und
