Caroline spun around and found the phone.

Upon seeing the unfamiliar number displayed on the screen, a frown involuntarily creased her forehead.

Who was it calling her in the middle of the night?

Compelled by curiosity, she shrugged off the blanket and quietly slipped out of the room to answer the call. With bated breath, she awaited the caller's introduction.

"Hello? Is this Caroline? This is Angelbay Prison," the voice on the other end revealed.

'Prison?'

Caroline's heart started to flutter with unease. "What's going on?"

"I regret to inform you that your father passed away at the prison at 3:52 AM. Please come to claim his body tomorrow," the voice informed her solemnly.

Caroline's mind went blank, a wave of disbelief crashing over her.

"Bradley... he's dead?" she murmured in disbelief.

Slowly, Caroline lowered the phone, her eyes filled with an overwhelming sense of shock.

Despite harboring resentment toward Bradley, she couldn't deny the hardships he endured while carin

    Caroline's mind was in a state of stupefaction as she found herself in Evan's bedroom. She rubbed her forehead, unable to recall how Evan had brought her here.Footsteps reached her ears, and she looked up to see Evan's gloomy yet handsome face. He walked towards the bed and gazed down at her, his tone cold as he asked, "You're awake?"Caroline gave him a grumpy look. 'What kind of question is that?'Evan noticed the sarcasm in her eyes, and his face turned dull. "Ungrateful as ever! I brought you home, but you didn't even thank me.""Thank you," Caroline replied, lowering her gaze. Her tone was so calm that it lacked any hint of gratitude.His frustration rose, and he swallowed slightly while thinking, 'She really knows how to drive me crazy.'After a moment, he asked, "Why didn't you eat properly? Don't you know it's not good for your health?"Caroline pursed her lips, refusing to answer his questions. Despite feeling dizzy, she pushed the blanket aside and tried to get out of

    Caroline hailed a cab and searched for Cloude Orphanage's address on the map. It was situated in the western part of the city, a two-hour journey from her residence. Once she found the address, she returned to her conversation with Mason and transferred the remaining money to him. Undoubtedly, he had proven to be incredibly effective.Caroline texted him. [Mr. Hall, I would like to ask how you discovered that information.]Mason called her back less than a minute after she sent the message."I used Katie's identity instead of yours to conduct the search," Mason explained. "She had a history of adopting a child. However, I could only find information about your orphanage, without your previous name. If it's convenient for you, could you please share your previous name? It might help me find more valuable information."'My previous name?'Caroline was taken aback. Her mother had once mentioned that she fell seriously ill during her childhood, causing her to lose all memories pri

    Evan glanced at Draco, but remained silent. Draco was well aware of Evan's temper, so he made an effort to control his anger."Evan, tell me, what kind of woman managed to convince you to propose an engagement within such a short time?" Draco inquired.Evan shot him a cold glare. "Have you forgotten what happened to me when I was eight years old?"Both Draco and Adam's expressions stiffened. Draco inquired, "Have you managed to find the girl who saved you back then?"Evan responded somberly, "Yes."Draco was left speechless. It was common knowledge that his son had been searching for that girl. While he felt grateful to her for rescuing Evan, he believed his daughter-in-law should come from a family of equal standing.Draco suggested, "Since you've found her, you can simply offer her money and a house. There's no need to marry her."Evan sneered. "Do you think I could sit here idly if not for her?"A deep crease formed between Draco's brows. "Evan!""Dad!" Evan abruptly st

    When Evan received Caroline's call, he had just arrived at the orphanage. Frowning slightly, he glanced at the name on his phone screen and wondered, "Why is she calling me at this hour?"He picked up the call and before he could speak, he heard Caroline's vigorous coughing."Evan, save me!" Caroline shouted anxiously, her voice filled with desperation.Evan's handsome face immediately darkened, his eyes turning cold. "Where are you?""I'm at Cloude Orphanage, in the old shack at the back," Caroline managed to say amidst her coughs. "Someone… Cough! Cough! Someone purposely set the place on fire and locked me inside. Cough! Cough… Evan! Save me! Cough! I can't get out!"Upon hearing her words, Evan's gaze shifted to the orphanage, his expression filled with a chilling determination. Without wasting any time, he opened the car door and swiftly stepped out. "Caroline, cover your mouth and find an air vent. Stand near it. I'm coming right away."Reuben, noticing something was amis

    Evan did not pressure Caroline for an answer when she refused to disclose the truth.Once the firefighters and police officers arrived at the scene, he escorted her to a nearby hospital after she finished giving her testimony. The doctor examined her lungs, and upon being assured of her well-being, they departed.On her way home, drowsiness overcame Caroline, causing her to accidentally bump her head against the car door from time to time.Seeing that, Evan pursed his thin lips and extended his hand, gently supporting her head and allowing her to rest it on his shoulder.Reuben, who was driving, caught a glimpse of the scene through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but suppress his laughter.'Mr. Jordan is stubborn, but he does care about Ms. Shenton,' Reuben mused to himself.Two hours later, they arrived at Villa Rosa.Initially, Evan had intended to carry Caroline out of the car, but the moment he touched her legs, she abruptly awakened and shrinked back in fear.

    Caroline was taken aback, her mind reeling. "Robin asked you to run me over? And what about the posters at the hospital?"The bald man replied, "We were the ones who put up those posters to defame you."Caroline couldn't stay seated any longer. She abruptly stood up and confronted them. "Daniella. Do you know her?"Evan turned to Caroline, who had become unhinged. His eyes reflected a multitude of complex emotions.But the bald man shook his head. "As I said before, we only have limited knowledge. I can't guarantee if Robin knows her or not. The truth will only be revealed when you capture Robin."Caroline's face turned as white as a sheet with anger. She knew deep down that Daniella was behind all this, but Daniella was skilled at hiding herself. Even if Caroline found the people who attacked her, she would be powerless against Daniella.She could only suffer in silence, even if she knew the truth. The only way forward was to play the fool and continue searching for evidence.S

    Both Caroline and Paige exchanged a silent glance, understanding each other without words.They were not in the habit of eavesdropping, so they proceeded directly toward the private room. However, just as they took a couple of steps, Evan's words halted them in their tracks."You're pregnant?" Evan's voice sounded hoarse and filled with bewilderment.Daniella nodded with a pitiful expression. "Evan, it's been a month. I don't want to force you into an engagement because of the child. If you don't want the baby, I can have an abortion.""No!" His response was icy, carrying an unmistakable intensity.Caroline, on the other hand, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her. She stood there speechless, her mind unable to comprehend the situation.Based on Evan's tone, it seemed he intended to accept Daniella's child."Carol..." Paige looked at Caroline with concern.Caroline blinked, trying to collect herself. "Let's go..."However, Paige grabbed her arm and led her

    Caroline immediately stopped talking and turned to look behind her. It was none other than Dr. Wilson, holding a bouquet of Leucanthemella flowers."Doctor Wilson?" Caroline stood up in astonishment. It had been quite some time since she last saw Scott.Under the warm sunlight, Scott's facial features emanated a gentle charm. He appeared refined and kind.With a smile, Scott said, "I saw you as I was heading upstairs just now, but I didn't want to disturb you since you were talking to Mrs. Shenton."Awkwardness washed over her. Caroline didn't know how much he had overheard.To change the subject, Caroline spoke up, "Thank you for visiting my mother."Scott placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and spoke with clarity and tenderness, "You haven't been taking good care of yourself."His words carried a certain conviction.Caroline lowered her gaze.

    Reese winced in pain. "Alright, ma'am. I guess I can read your mind? Be gentle!"Liora relaxed her grip at last. "Right, when are we going to that place you mentioned previously?""There's no rush. Your body isn't up for constant actions now. What if you get hurt by those harmful spirits again? I've already committed myself to you out of guilt. If it happens again, I won't have anything else to offer."Liora chuckled. "You make it sound like I'm desperate for your compensation.""What's wrong with that? I'm a strong, handsome man, and everyone loves me!" said Reese, displeased.Liora was astounded by his narcissism.She took a deep breath and said, "Reese.""Hmm?"Liora said, "In truth, I'm not the best choice to be your partner because of my profession. Those spirits may bother me from time to time. I'm the complete opposite of Isaac because of my negative physique.""What happens when you have a negative physique?""Spirits will be drawn to bother me and might cause me a lo

    Reese and Isaac couldn't perceive the spirit, but they witnessed a dark mist dissipating before them.Isaac asked in astonishment, "What's happening, Lia?"Liora turned and answered, "The female spirit didn't want to move on, so her soul has been dissolved.""Dissolved? Do you mean her soul has been destroyed?" asked Reese. Liora nodded and looked around. "Uncle Kenny, please help me find the six spirits."Kenny took on the task and brought those fearful spirits in just a few minutes. Liora asked, "Do you want to choose the same option as her or come with me to Cross Chapel?""Cross Chapel!""We would have left long ago if we weren't trapped here by her threats!""She wouldn't let us go even in death. Aren't our lives worth anything?"After Fiery Red was gone, these spirits began to complain in anger.Liora was infuriated by their complaints. "How dare you criticize her! She may be responsible for your deaths, but what about you then? Do you think you bear no responsibil

    "That's easy for you to say! Those who caused my death may have become spirits, but I still want to stop them from moving on!" Fiery Red barked. Liora frowned. "So, you're implying that those six students caused your death?""Why would I kill them otherwise?"Liora said, "It's time to let them go now that they've faced your revenge. Keeping them trapped is like trapping yourself. Why bother?""Allowing them to move on is letting them off too lightly!" Fiery Red roared. Liora said, "Your obsession is too strong and is keeping you trapped here. You're constantly hurting yourself with painful memories. If you move on properly, it will be a kind of liberation from your past.""Don't preach to me! I'll make it simple for you. It's either you die or my soul gets destroyed!" Fiery Red snapped. She was about to attack Liora just as she finished her sentence. Liora was planning to call out to Isaac when a figure suddenly showed up. Kenny rushed over and blasted away Fiery Red."Y

    Tyler did not comment further upon hearing Liora's reply. In the evening, Isaac returned home from school to find Liora already there. He hurried over, brimming with excitement. "You're back, Lia! How are you feeling? Have you recovered from your injuries?"Isaac's smile stretched from ear to ear.Liora glanced at Isaac meaningfully and said, "Please do me a favor tonight, Isaac."Isaac nodded repeatedly. "Sure, are we heading to the campus?"Liora looked at Isaac in astonishment. "Are you not scared anymore?"The smile on Isaac's face faded slowly. "Spirits are scary, but I don't want to see you bullied by them again, Lia. I wanted to destroy those spirits on the same day after seeing you suffer. However, they told me to respect your decision, so I didn't do that."Liora caressed Isaac's head affectionately. "You've grown, Isaac. You know how to look out for me now."Isaac took Liora's hand and held her hand tightly in his own. "Lia, I've always cared about you. Next time you

    Reese said, "Yes, you have been in love with her for 15 years and have invested a lot of time for her. However, haven't you noticed that Lia is a very rational person? As soon as she figures things out, she can move on immediately."Chester's breathing became irregular. He took two deep breaths shakily while staring at Reese. "Yes, she is more sensitive and rational than anyone else."Reese said, "I'm going to give you another analogy. If Lia chooses to be with me, what are you going to do?""Nothing. I said before that I'd respect Lia's choice no matter what. Similarly, you don't have to worry about anything else. I won't harbor any resentment because of love," Chester replied. Reese said, "In other words, you'll continue to be friends with Lia even if we end up together, is that right?"Chester frowned. "Lia and I are friends. If we can't be together, our relationship will remain the same as before. You like Lia, but you can't stop me from being friends with her, Reese."Reese

    Reese raised his right arm and said, "My entire right arm was covered in blood at the time. I watched the removal of rotten flesh from your back with my own eyes. I couldn't sleep peacefully for days.""That's easy! Just get the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills to you. You will be able to sleep better, right?" Liora said while giggling. Reese crouched down next to the bed, smiling. "Lia, are you mad at me?"Liora was confused. "Mad at you? For what?"Reese scratched his nose. "If I didn't take you there, you wouldn't have gotten injured."Liora took a glance at him, astounded. "This has nothing to do with you taking me there. It's the ignorant spirits. I'll deal with them all once I recover!""You still want to go back there?" Reese exclaimed. "Yes, of course! Hades will be delighted if I can send the seven spirits to him," Liora said. Reese looked at the joyous smile on Liora's face, feeling guilty. "I was hoping that you'd scold me instead of talking to me so casually."

    Reese sent away Tyler and the other, surging them to get some rest while he remained seated, his gaze fixed on Liora.She slept peacefully, her chest rising and falling slowly with each breath. Meanwhile, a nurse approached. Reese noticed her and hastily stood up. "Hello, nurse."The nurse asked, "How can I help you?"Reese said, "May I inquire when Liora can be transferred out of the ICU?"The nurse said, "I'm not too sure about that. It depends on the healing of her wounds and vital signs. She has the most extensive wound that I've ever seen on a girl. She might end up with scars…"The nurse opened the door and walked inside upon saying that. Reese was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt as he thought of the debt he owed to Liora. He knew he could never fully repay it in this lifetime.-Three days later, Liora was transferred out of the ICU.After learning about the incident, Caroline and Evan rushed to the hospital. They were heartbroken to see Liora lying prone on the be

    Fear and worry flooded Reese's mind, making it impossible for him to sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky through the skylight. Reese could not help Liora in her profession, so he wondered if he could help out in her safety. He thought about it before he grabbed his phone to text Tyler. Reese: [Can you tell me where Ms. Yelena is staying?]Soon, Tyler texted Yelena's hotel and room number. Reese: [Thank you, my friend.]Tyler sneered.Tyler: [I haven't settled the score with you over Lia's predicament.]Reese: [I'll accept any punishment you deem necessary. It was my mistake, and I'll take responsibility for it.]There was no reply from Tyler afterward.Reese did not send another text, so he started the car and drove to the hotel. -Half an hour later, Reese arrived at the door of Yelena's room. He pondered briefly before knocking on the door. Soon, he heard a response. "Coming."Yelena opened the door and was surprised to find Reese. "Are you the lad fro

    Liora opened her palm. The outline of the charm was vague, but she could feel its intense energy. She took a deep breath and stood up. After sensing her movement, the spirits glanced at her. Liora turned to look at them and felt the same feeling that stopped her from leaving again!Suppressing the fear, Liora braced herself to walk out of the door.The closer she got to the door, the more intense the gloomy presence became—she felt as if her soul was being crushed. "Don't be scared, Lia!""Try to walk out, Lia! They won't hurt you!""Lia! Axel, Ty, Mr. Gates, and I are waiting for you!"Αfter hearing their voices, Liora shed tears. She gnashed her teeth and continued to stride toward the door, which seemed so close yet remained out of reach. She took a deep breath, raised her hand with the charm, and attempted to walk closer. This time, the spirits all turned to look at her. They rushed forward in unison when they sensed Liora was about to touch the door. Sensing t
