Caroline wanted to speak, but Evan said, "Caroline, can you swear you don't have any feelings for me?"Caroline felt her heart wrench in pain as she listened to Evan's angry remark tainted with inferiority.However, she knew their fateful connection would have to come to an end!Suppressing her pain, Caroline said, "I came to the hospital to return the favor, Evan. It's unnecessary to swear, but it's me who can't stand our relationship. Do you understand that?""I don't! Why do you get to step back in a relationship so casually? What do you take me for?"Caroline leaned against the chair weakly. "What do I take you for? Have you questioned yourself about what you take me for then? You regarded me as your mistress five years ago and searched for me frantically only after you discovered I had saved your life."What if you were still clueless about the incident? You'd still be in a loving relationship with Daniella now, right? Haven't you noticed you don't love me? You love the pers
After dinner, Paige headed to Bayview Villa. Caroline was about to head out for a stroll with the children when she saw Paige driving into the yard. "Godmother is here!" Liora ran over to Paige's car and raised her hands in joy when Paige opened the door. "Hug me, Godmother!"Caroline picked up Liora, caressed her nose, and said, "My precious Lia, are you heading out?"Liora nodded obediently. "Mommy is taking us on a walk. Will you join us?""Sure!" Paige carried Liora and approached Caroline. "Can I join, Carol? I have a favor to ask from you."Caroline was surprised that Paige would seek her favor. "Sure, let's go."During the walk, Paige chatted briefly with the children before she told Caroline, "Carol, will you please help to reach out to Ms. Salvatore?"Caroline was stunned. "Are you seeking my mentor's help in designing clothes?"Paige said, "Yes. Pug would like to get me custom-made clothing. Heh."Caroline smiled. "Is it for the engagement or the wedding?"Paige
On Sunday, Caroline promised to take Jamie and the three children to the amusement park. She departed with them after reserving the tickets and arrived at the destination at 10:00 a.m.The weather was comfortable, and all the park's facilities were operating. Jamie was staring closely at the highest Ferris wheel as soon as she entered the amusement park. Caroline asked, "Jamie, are you interested in getting on the Ferris wheel?""Yes. I remembered getting on one with someone…" she muttered softly as she became distracted. Liora sniggered and said, "I know. It must be your boyfriend!"Caroline was baffled. "Lia, watch your words."Liora stuck out her tongue. "Mommy, I was only joking with Grandma."Jamie asked in confusion, "Boyfriend?"Caroline interrupted by saying, "Lia was just making a casual remark. We'll get on the Ferris wheel later if you want, Jamie."Jamie smiled. "Sure, let's play the rest with the children first.""Hooray, Grandma!"Liora cheered, tugged at
Evan ordered fiercely, "Go!"-Caroline enjoyed taking the children on many rides at the amusement park. Afterward, they stood in line for the Ferris wheel. When Axel glanced up at the towering Ferris wheel, standing at a staggering two hundred meters, he turned pale. His fear of heights prevented him from daring to join the ride. Even just the sight of it made him struggle to catch his breath.Tyler immediately noticed something amiss with Axel and asked, "Axel, are you feeling unwell?"Attempting to act strong, Axel shook his head. "I'm okay—"But before he could finish his sentence, he clutched his stomach and vomited.Caroline and Jamie swiftly turned their heads at the commotion.Upon seeing Axel's distress, fear gripped Caroline. She hurried over and embraced him."Axel?" Caroline asked anxiously. "What's wrong with you?"Feeling lightheaded, Axel weakly replied, "It's the heights…""The heights?" Liora raised her head to gaze at the spinning Ferris wheel above."O
Caroline immediately got up to pursue Jamie, but an employee blocked and warned her. "Ma'am, stop screwing around! It's very dangerous."Unable to reach Jamie, Caroline called out to her urgently, "Jamie, don't open the door. Stay put!"Jamie nodded in understanding.Caroline focused on Jamie's pod but was interrupted by another employee urging her to leave the platform.Axel chimed in, trying to alleviate Caroline's anxiety. "Mommy, Grandma wants ice cream. Let's go get some."Feeling helpless, Caroline bought ice cream with the children while keeping her gaze fixed on the Ferris wheel.Minutes passed, and Caroline's anxiety peaked as Jamie's pod reached its highest point. It swayed in the wind, causing Caroline's limbs to weaken.Caroline couldn't tell if Jamie was afraid or not. She could only pray that Jamie remained still.-Meanwhile, Jamie sat in the pod, taking in the expanding view of Angelbay City. Gradually, she felt calmer. Her mind drifted to a man she once rode t
Evan heard a loud commotion from the amusement park as he stepped out of the car at the entrance. Suddenly, a sharp pain gripped his heart, causing him to clutch his chest and crouch down. Reuben and the bodyguards rushed forward to assist Evan when they saw this. "Mr. Jordan, are you okay?" Reuben and Julian asked simultaneously. Evan felt an inexplicable panic, causing him to push them away. He struggled to control the suffocation and dizziness before rising and heading into the amusement park. Inside, chaos reigned as everyone hurried toward the Ferris wheel. Julian grabbed an employee and inquired about the incident. The panicked employee replied, "A pod from the Ferris wheel fell off!" Upon hearing that, Reuben looked up at the vacant space in the air where the Ferris wheel stood, towering 200 meters high. There was little hope for the person inside...Panic flickered in Evan's eyes as he recalled the inexplicable pain he had experienced earlier. His eyes narr
Liora would not stop crying, so Caroline carried her and patted her back to comfort her. Liora kept her head buried around Caroline's neck, sobbing endlessly. "Mommy, I don't want to see Grandma go. Hmm… I don't want that…"Caroline felt very sorry for Liora, so she held Liora tighter and cried profusely. "I'm sorry. I didn't protect her well. It's all my fault…" Tyler and Axel's eyes were red and swollen. They did not know how to console Caroline and Liora. Evan had been standing on the spot motionlessly. Suddenly, he spoke with a hoarse and desperate voice. "Why?" Caroline looked at him with guilt and self-reproach. "I'm sorry." Evan pulled his lips into a line and slowly walked to Caroline, exuding a fierce aura. "Caroline, tell me! Why do you want to ruin my mom and me?""Ruin?" Caroline frowned with shock. "What do you mean?" "Do you still want to play dumb?" Evan sneered and glared at Caroline."Caroline, listen. This isn't over! I'll have a talk with you after my
Caroline could not imagine how Evan had endured that when he was young.And how much pain had it caused to Evan?Paige added when she felt Caroline shudder in anger, "Carol, the problem is who twisted the facts and let the mass media report it that way."Paige's words knocked some sense into Caroline."I think it's Casey, but the title of the hot topic vaguely pointed out that it was me instead." Caroline continued with her analysis after gradually calming down. "It was because Jamie was with me all this while.""Casey?" Paige was baffled. "Why didn't he do that long ago but wait until today?"The same doubt was troubling Caroline. Casey might have exposed that to someone else if it weren't him. After all, very few people knew about that incident.Besides, the people who knew that were very likely Caroline's enemies. They could ruin Evan while making him hate Caroline.It was very likely to be Daniella then because Caroline had no other enemies except her.But didn't Daniella
