"Are you okay, Helen?" asked Caraline without looking at Helen. "You've been a lot quieter since you got home from that annoying meeting."Helen let out a long breath. She glanced at Caraline several times, dropping her gaze to the fingers that were intertwining with each other."Can I ask you something?" Helen clasped her hands together for a moment."Tell me," Caraline replied."How is your relationship with Mr. Diego?" Helen looked down for a moment, daring herself to turn to Caraline. "You can ignore it if the question is not important for you to answer.""My relationship with Diego... is that of a friend. Nothing more and nothing less." Caraline said honestly, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. "Is that what's bothering you, Helen?""It seems that Mr. Diego has an interest in you. Not as a friend, but as a... special person to him."Caraline smiled slightly. "I know, but like I said, I don't have any feelings for him. He's... annoying sometimes, but he's a pretty reliable fri

"This is impossible." Caraline quickly wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. She scrolled her phone up, checking the names of the hospitals more carefully. The more time passed, the more her heart felt like it was going to explode. Caraline clenched her lips tightly to prevent herself from starting to scream. Tears broke out again, streaming down her cheeks. Her chest tightened every time her fingers scrolled through the screen. She read through the list of patients in ten hospitals, and only one hospital was left with Deric's name on it.Caraline took a deep breath, closing her eyes to stop the tears. However, her cheeks grew wetter as time passed."I didn't want this to happen," Caraline whispered as she wiped away the tears with the back of her hand. For a moment, the tears forced her to be still, to digest all the things that might happen if her fears were proven. She wanted to refuse to believe.Caraline looked up, making the black sky the object of her gaze. The wind

"Can I... hold you?" asked Caraline in a hoarse voice. Her body was shaking violently from the cold and emotional turmoil. Even though the rain had soaked through her body, tears still warmed her cheeks.Deric was silent for a while, observing Caraline's appearance which he thought was very chaotic. There was no stern face carved into the woman's features, only a look of sadness and fear."Sure," Deric replied at last."Thank... thank you." Caraline still lingered on the grass with her face downcast. Her hands were alternately wiping away tears. Thunder and lightning were still appearing in the sky. Nature seemed to share in the creeping fear.Caraline moved towards Deric, clinging to him with unshed tears. The umbrella Deric was using fell over, showering both of them with water.Caraline closed her eyes, hugging the man she loved and the man she had hurt so tightly as if she didn't want Deric to leave as if this was the last time she would ever see him. It felt so warm, especially w

"Caraline," Deric half shouted as Cariline's body collapsed backward. He quickly restrained the woman. Shortly after, thunder boomed, making the surroundings bright. The wind picked up, knocking down branches and leaves."Caraline." Deric patted Caraline's cheek. The woman's body was cold and pale at the same time. Deric immediately took out his cell phone and contacted Grace. Deric quickly put Caraline on his lap, bringing the woman to the wheelchair. He drove very fast in the wheelchair in the pouring rain. As he neared the house, he saw Grace and several maids approaching."Miss Caraline," the maids shrieked together with umbrellas in their hands.Deric led Caraline to the veranda, followed by the maids from behind. "Grace, prepare the car to take Caraline to the hospital.""I understand," said Grace immediately ordered several maids."I'll go with you," Deric said."Sorry, Mr. Deric." Grace looked down for a moment, feeling bad. However, she still remembered the message from Cara

Caraline blinked a few times. The woman slowly opened her eyes, changing her position to sitting. Her head felt heavy and painful at the same time. Her hands gently massaged forehead. "Where am I now?Caraline leaned against the bed. Her face was downcast, and suddenly tears fell. The fact put her in a difficult situation. There was a part of her that felt lost. It was only a matter of time until Deric found out she was the mastermind behind the accident. Caraline never expected it to be this painful and scary."What if Deric leaves me?" muttered Caraline, "am I ready for that?"Caraline hurriedly wiped away tears as she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. She quickly lay down, turning her head towards the window. In the reflection of the glass, the woman could see her pale, puffy face.Helen opened the door to the room, approaching the bed. "Thank goodness you're awake. I was really surprised when Grace informed me. How are you at the moment?"Caraline let out a long breath. Te

Caraline could not fall asleep. Her body was still lying on the bed with her eyes fixed on the ceiling of the room. From outside, she heard footsteps. She immediately pretended to be closed with her back to the entrance.The door opened and footsteps approached. Grace and two maids entered, placed a basket of chocolate milk on the nightstand, and left the room.After feeling that Grace and the two maids were far away, Caraline decided to sit down. She turned to the nightstand, picking up the basket that was there. As she picked up the bottle of chocolate drink, her tears fell again. Memories of her time with Deric suddenly came to her. She remembered how much she loved this drink. Even pretending to swap bottles just so she could kiss Deric indirectly."I... should be happy now," Caraline muttered as she wiped away tears. "I shouldn't be crying like a weakling. If I can get through the pain of being left by my parents and Carla, then I should be able to get through this."Caraline put

Deric immediately turned his head when someone knocked on the car door from outside. He put his phone in his pants pocket and opened the window."Sir," said a man wearing sunglasses."Come in," Deric said, opening the door for the man.The man in the black shirt immediately took off his hat and glasses as his body landed on the seat, letting out a long breath. As the car began to drive, the man said, "I've gotten accurate information from a trusted party regarding that person.""I hope you don't disappoint me," Deric said with a straightforward look."That person...is indeed involved. We await further orders."Deric let out a long breath. "I'm sorry if I have to trouble you again in the middle of your busy schedule. But you're the only one I can trust with matters like this.""I'm very glad you bothered," the man beside Deric said with a faint smile. "I'm honored."The car sped up, passing several vehicles in a zigzag motion. Amidst the street noise and the sprinkling of lights in dow

"Do you miss him, Catherine?" asked Caraline with a sardonic look. Her eyeballs rolled when she saw her annoying cousin's blatant display of interest in Deric."You... you must be crazy, Caraline." Catherine snorted in annoyance. Her hands were quickly folded in front of her chest. "What am I looking for that deformed man?""What a braggart!" Caraline rolled her eyes, grabbing the bag from the nightstand. "I don't want to see you two here. Go away!""You're such an ass, Caraline!" snapped Wilson with glaring eyes. "You should be grateful that Catherine and I took the time to visit you.""You don't know any better." Catherine glanced at the basket on the nightstand. There was a bottle of drink in there."I know you didn't come to see me." Caraline laughed sarcastically. "You must have come to have your psychiatry checked in this place. Well, for once I'll support you wholeheartedly.""You!" pointed Wilson with a furious glare.Catherine walked over to the nightstand, picked up the bot

Caraline had spent most of her time in her room for the past two days. She would only go out for a walk by the lake in the morning and evening, where her main goal was to peek at Deric.After the incident a few days ago, Caraline had been avoiding Deric because she felt ashamed and didn't know how to behave. She also never replied to Deric's messages or picked up his calls.Caraline still often felt remorse and sadness when she found out that she was the culprit who caused Deric's disability. She cried so hard that her eyes were puffy. "I finally know why Carla asked me to find and marry Deric," said Caraline, who was now on the balcony. The wind blew her hair to the right and left. It felt refreshing even though her heart was still hurting."I don't regret marrying Deric and spending so much time looking for him. I... was able to fulfill Carla's last wish, as well as continue her love for Deric."Caraline let out a long breath. Her eyes were teary and puffy at the same time. Sadness

Helen turned to Lucy. She had never told Lucy about Deric. So, it was strange that Lucy would suddenly scream at the sight of Deric about to fall out of the wheelchair unless Lucy already knew the man.Caraline turned a questioning gaze on Helen. However, she realized that Helen was unlikely to do something she hadn't told her to do.Lucy was silent for a moment, immediately turning to Caraline and Helen. Her lips curled into a smile as if she had never done anything suspicious."Do... do you know that man?" probed Caraline."I just remembered my friend," Lucy replied with a calm expression, "my friend named Jacob has the same situation as that man, and we're close. So, when I saw that man about to fall, I just suddenly thought of him. I'm sorry if my words startled you.""Then where is your friend now?" Caraline studied Lucy closely."He... died a few months ago." Lucy glanced at Deric for a moment.Caraline let out a long breath. "Alright.""I'm fine!" Deric half shouted while wavin
