Evan felt a huge sense of relief, let out a deep breath, and headed toward Caroline. "Let's go, I'll give you a ride home.""Evan, why do you humiliate me like this?" Caroline's voice was strangely cold.Evan replied, "I don't mean to humiliate you. I'm just concerned about your well-being."Caroline sneered. "Taking me to the hospital suggests that you suspect something between me and Casey, right?" She wouldn't know the cause of the misunderstanding if the doctor hadn't informed her about Casey's AIDS diagnosis."Am I the type of woman who sleeps around? Am I that awful?"Noticing Caroline's shaking body, Evan felt his heart wrench in pain. "I never thought there was anything more between you and Casey."Caroline raised her head to glare at Evan. "Do you even believe that yourself?"Evan asked, "How can I explain?"Caroline burst into laughter. "Explain? Do you think your explanation matters now? Is Casey aware of his condition? If not, what are you worried about? That he m
Evan understood that approaching Caroline would serve no purpose. In fact, his presence would only anger her further. As such, he watched her release her emotions, huddled in the rain.After Caroline stood up and started walking again, Evan turned to his bodyguard and said, "Julian, follow her until she's safe at home."Julian replied, "Yes, sir!"-Caroline arrived at Bayview Villa, completely soaked from the rain.Kenny spewed out his milk and quickly placed the mug down. He rushed over to Caroline and asked, "G, what happened to you? Where's your car?"Caroline dragged her feet as she walked into the villa. "I didn't drive home. Where are the children?"Kenny reassured her, "They're playing upstairs with Eira."Caroline nodded and said, "Hmm, I'll head to my room to rest. I'm tired."Concerned, Kenny followed her. "What happened? Please, tell me."Caroline replied, "Don't ask. My head hurts."Kenny worriedly asked, "Is it from your previous injury?"Caroline frowned and
"If Casey were aware of his condition, he would probably seek revenge by...""The crucial point is that he doesn't know," Alex explained.Paige grumbled, "All men are selfish."Kenny abruptly stood up. "I'm going to see Evan! This is unbearable!"Alex quickly intervened. "Are you planning to confront him now?""Shouldn't I confront him? Who does he think he is to judge Carol like that?" Kenny seethed.Alex looked troubled. "I assure you, Evan doesn't think that way. He's concerned about the risk of infection from an exposed wound on Carol's body."Kenny retorted, "Your explanation doesn't make any sense!""I'm not talking nonsense! I know him well as his best friend. I understand how much he cares for Carol, unlike you. Wouldn't you be worried if your loved one was in a risky situation?" Alex's patience had run out.Kenny and Paige fell silent.-At Jordan Residence.Daniella was jolted awake by an intense itch on her body. She sat up, switched on the bedside lamp, and unbu
Casey got dressed and left, while Daniella remained stunned for a while.She thought, 'How did Casey find out about my rashes? Did I not cover them properly when we talked last night?'Daniella feared overthinking, so she grabbed her bag and rushed to the hospital.There, she underwent a series of examinations with the doctor.When the test results came in, the doctor gravely said, "You have HIV."Confused, Daniella asked, "What does HIV mean?"The doctor looked at her and replied, "It's AIDS."Shocked and struggling to process the news, Daniella asked, "Can it be cured?"The doctor said, "There's no cure for AIDS, but you can manage it with long-term medications."Daniella's face turned pale as she tried to comprehend the diagnosis. She asked, "Is there an incubation period for AIDS?"The doctor explained, "Yes, the incubation period varies, and some become ill shortly after infection."Daniella felt her strength drain away.'Could the HIV virus have been in my body for a
Daniella gazed at Naomi's departing silhouette and grinned.'I did Naomi a huge favor back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have a helper now," she thought, remembering how Naomi's sister had had a serious accident with severe hemorrhaging, and the hospital's blood bank had had a shortage of their blood type.Naomi had searched everywhere and found Daniella at the hospital by chance.Daniella had been there for a consultation with a wealthy tycoon and wanted to see if her blood matched Naomi's to impress the tycoon with her kindness. To her surprise, they were a match. After donating her blood, Daniella had given money to help Naomi's sister, who, unfortunately, passed away while still in critical condition. Her blood had gone to waste.Despite the tragedy, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as the tycoon had been deeply moved by Daniella's actions, generously rewarding her.Daniella couldn't help but feel tormented by her past. She wouldn't have returned to the country if i
Caroline struggled to sit up. "What about the company while you're here?" she asked."I've already told the staff I'd handle things once you're awake. You're heading home to rest today," Kenny reassured her.Caroline replied, "No, I have a meeting in the afternoon.""I'll just attend the meeting, right? The company is bussin with sharply growing revenue these days anyway." Kenny propped up a pillow behind Caroline's back.Caroline looked at Kenny and chuckled. "Where did you pick up 'bussin'?"Kenny grinned and scratched his head. "I know some slang."Caroline insisted, "You need to go check on the factory. I'm still worried after the fire incident."Kenny frowned. "I've been closely monitoring the staff and assigned security guards there!""Naomi is at the company today," Caroline mentioned.Kenny said, "I've made all the necessary arrangements for you. Please stop worrying."Caroline found no reason to argue, so she remained silent.-Alex met Evan in MK at noon and infor
Evan sneered. "Would I allow that to happen? I'll be well-prepared."Alex exclaimed, "You might be the only one willing to send your father to prison for a woman."Evan's gaze turned cold. "Does he even deserve to be a father? I don't think so!" Alex was rendered speechless.Alex felt bad for his best friend. 'In all honesty, Evan has a point. Draco has never shown any fatherly love to him. He's been using Evan all along. Now that Casey has joined the company, he might take Evan's position in the future.'-Yuliana started her newly-rented car to follow Scott outside the hospital. She noticed Scott suddenly stop in an alleyway after following him for some time.Yuliana reached for her phone, ready to exit the car, and saw a man in a cap emerge from the alleyway.Scott said something to the man, who nodded. They both entered the alley.Yuliana left her car and followed them.Scott and the man entered a run-down building. Yuliana sent the GPS location to Neil and then follo
Naomi was shocked. "All three of them?""Are you out of your mind? Do you want to offend Evan? Do I look like I want to get myself killed?" Daniella scolded Naomi.Naomi frowned. "Evan is close to Caroline. If he discovers you've hurt Caroline's children, he'll be furious, too.""I can't be bothered anymore! That Tyler kid made me a laughingstock! He has to go!"Naomi looked at Daniella in silence.She sensed that Daniella might have some psychological issues but couldn't bring herself to say it.-After parting ways, Naomi returned to the company.Caroline had already gone back to work after her recovery.Naomi went to Caroline's office with a folder.She knocked and entered, handing the folder to Caroline. "Please review this document, Ms. Shenton."Caroline glanced at it. "Is this for training?"Naomi nodded. "The secretaries currently lack the necessary skills, so a training session would be beneficial."Naomi smiled. "I take my role seriously."Caroline signed the do
