Kenny assisted Caroline with her luggage, guiding her to the villa's entrance."Are the children asleep?" he asked.Caroline nodded. "We should head straight to the airport. Is the preparation work there nearly completed?""Yes, once we arrive, we can depart," Kenny confirmed as he loaded Caroline's luggage into the trunk.Concerned about their publicized partnership with Greta, Caroline asked, "Have you arranged for the media to cover our collaboration?"Kenny nodded reassuringly. "You've asked this question countless times. Rest assured, it's taken care of."Caroline was new to philanthropy partnerships, so she couldn't ease her mind, wanting to avoid any mistakes.An hour later, they arrived at the airport, where workers had already loaded the goods into the cargo hold.After verifying the inventory, they boarded the plane in preparation for takeoff.-Reuben informed Evan about TYC's charity work being featured in the media.Evan frowned. "Are they departing now?"Reube
Tyler took the sticky note and read, "Liora, I know that it's very hard for you to get past this incident. You're the bravest child, and you've experienced something that others won't even experience in a lifetime. I hope that I get to see you being mischievous as you usually are when I'm back."Liora clutched the sticky note tightly once Tyler had finished reading it. Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "Ty, I won't let Mommy worry about me anymore."Tyler nodded and replied, "You're the best, Lia!"-Caroline and Kenny arrived in Staten City early in the morning and left for Fawn County after the workers loaded the goods onto the truck.Caroline immediately called the children when she got into the truck.The call was quickly answered. Tyler and Liora's voices and heavy breathing could be heard. "Have you landed, Mommy?"Caroline smiled upon hearing Liora's different voice. "What are both of you doing? Are you on a run?""Yes, Mommy! We're out for a run with Eira!" Lio
"Kenny, what's wrong?" Caroline asked.Kenny replied, "G, it's raining heavily. The truck driver mentioned it's dangerous. What about yours?"Caroline reassured him, "Tell your driver to be cautious. We'll arrive in another half an hour. Hang in there. We can't stop now.""I'm okay! But, are you scared?" Kenny asked."Don't worry about me. I'm fine," Caroline answered."Got it." Kenny was about to end the call when his driver gasped."Oh no! There's a landslide due to the heavy rain!" The driver looked ahead fearfully.Following the driver's gaze, Kenny spotted soil washing down the mountain.Shortly after, he heard Caroline scream.Kenny urgently shouted into his phone, "G! There's a landslide! Lots of soil is coming down!"A muffled sound followed his words.Kenny traced the sound to see a large rock rolling downhill.The rock was heading straight for Caroline's truck!Kenny's eyes widened in shock. "G! A rock is coming!"The rock crashed down just as his voice faded, a
After hanging up the call, Neil chartered a helicopter at his fastest speed. -At Fawn County.Caroline was taken to the hospital by the medical team.Kenny followed the stretcher until they reached the emergency room."Please wait here," the nurse told Kenny, stopping him from going further.Kenny held onto the nurse's hands emotionally and pleaded, "Please, save her!""We will do our best. Please remain calm," the nurse reassured him.She gently freed herself from Kenny's grip and entered the emergency room. The door closed behind her, leaving Kenny in anguish.He raised his blood-stained hand to his head, thinking, 'I should have prevented her from making that delivery. Why wasn't I more assertive back then? If something happens to Caroline, I'll never forgive myself.'Kenny was lost in these thoughts when his phone rang. He trembled as he pulled out his phone and finally managed to answer Paige's call.Kenny tried to hold back tears and said, "Hello.""Evan here." Evan
"Mr. Jordan, Carol is—"Paige was about to speak when Kenny's hoarse voice interrupted, "Why are you still focused on Carol and Neil's relationship?"He glared at Evan and snapped, "Caroline is fighting for her life in there, and you're worried about trivial matters like this? Isn't it obvious from Neil's reaction? He can only donate his blood if they're siblings, right?"Paige quickly covered Kenny's mouth and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about!"Kenny pulled her hand away and declared, "I'm not talking nonsense. Caroline is Neil's biological sister!"Paige felt overwhelmed. 'Why is Kenny revealing this secret out of anger?'She turned to Evan, who looked dumbfounded, and cautiously asked, "Now that you know what you wanted to, Mr. Jordan, is there anything else you'd like to know?"Evan swallowed hard and asked gloomily, "Why did she hide it from me?""Do you really need to ask why? It's because of what you did!" Kenny couldn't help but speak sarcastically."Kenn
Neil seemed alright, aside from feeling dizzy and weak. Paige took a seat by his bedside and said, "Neil, Evan is aware of your relationship with Carol."Neil smiled bitterly. "That's alright. He was bound to find out sooner or later."Paige asked, "What about the kids?"Neil sighed. "Let Carol explain it to him when she wakes up. Kenny already told him, didn't he?" Paige nodded. "Even if Kenny didn't, Evan would notice."Neil closed his eyes and asked, "Is he with Carol now?"Paige confirmed, "Yes. Do you want to ask him to leave?""It's fine. It's his call. Plus, having an extra set of hands to care for Carol is a good thing," Neil said.Paige offered, "I'll request the doctor to prescribe iron pills for you."Neil expressed his gratitude, "Sure. Thank you for doing that.""Don't mention it."-Meanwhile, Evan arrived at the ICU after settling the fees.Kenny looked at him meaningfully and said, "I'll entrust Caroline to you as I have other matters to attend to."Eva
"Don't mention it," said the officer. "May I ask about your relationship with the victim?"Evan remained silent momentarily before answering, "I'm the father of her child."Evan believed that was the best way to introduce himself.The police officer then asked, "Alright, what brought the victim here?"-At Bayview Villa.Tyler and Liora anxiously watched the news on their phone. Liora's red nose revealed she had been crying. She asked, "What should we do? How's Mommy?"The pale-looking Tyler replied, "I don't know. Let me call Uncle Neil."Liora nodded, watching as Tyler made the call.After a long wait, Neil's voice came through, sounding tired and hoarse. "Ty."Anxious, Tyler asked, "Where are you, Uncle Neil?"Neil had anticipated the children's call. "I'm at Fawn County Hospital."Tyler inquired, "Is Mommy hurt?"Neil replied, "Yes, she's injured, but don't worry. Just be patient and wait for her return."Liora grabbed the phone. "Uncle Neil, I want to talk to Mommy,
Eira scratched her head in embarrassment and explained with a smile, "I want Dr. Wilson to bring up some drinks quickly."Tyler and Liora understood and went upstairs.Scott stayed with Eira as they walked to the dining room. Eira frowned at him. "Mr. Wilson, your words are scaring the children."Scott looked at Eira nonchalantly. "Which words?"Eira replied, "The critical stage!"Scott took his time pouring the milk. "I was just telling the truth.""It is the truth, but I'm worried the children won't sleep tonight after hearing that!" Eira said.Scott turned to Eira. "Everyone should face the truth, including children. They can't be protected forever."Eira was speechless but still felt it was inappropriate to say that to the children. It would be better for them to know later than anxiously waiting for an update now, especially since she knew Caroline was severely injured.After pouring the milk, Scott smiled at Eira. "Don't worry. I'll keep them company."Eira found Scott'
