"Is something wrong?" Kirk looked at her.Caroline's red lips parted. She was unsure how to explain but was afraid he would overthink things. "No. Let's go."It had to be done sooner or later.On the way over, she received a call from Eddy.Upon seeing the flashing screen, Caroline's expression froze. She was reminded of how she'd behaved in the past eight years—she used to be the one who called Eddy, asking about his day. But Eddy had never called her.She wouldn't have received an ounce of concern even if she were in the hospital undergoing surgery. But now, Eddy was calling Caroline for Layla's sake. There was no way Caroline could compare to Layla."Aren't you going to take that?" Kirk looked out of the window. He had been resting his eyes.Caroline looked at his perfect face. Although she couldn't see his expression, she felt like he was annoyed.She hesitated for a moment before finally picking up.Before she could even speak, Eddy's angry voice came from the speaker. "Caroline!

Kirk shoved her into the passenger seat with a steely face. He then got into the driver’s seat and shut the door.Caroline was so startled that she jumped a little. She snuck a glance at Kirk’s unpleasant expression, perplexed. She was the one who should be angry. Why did he look more enraged than she was?At once, Kirk started the car and sped into the distance.Caroline nearly flew out of her seat. She grabbed the handhold tightly, her voice sounding distorted in the wind. “What are you doing?”It was as if Kirk hadn’t heard anything. He stepped on the gas, staring straight ahead as if he were a beast in the night.At once, the Audi A6 sped through the streets like a rushing river.Caroline turned pale. She could barely hold on. The wind swept her questions away, her voice drowned in the breeze.Finally, Caroline stopped struggling and let the wind tousle her hair. Kirk was like a madman, driving her toward the unknown.Three days ago, she’d thought about dying. But suicide w

Half an hour later, Caroline was in the car that Jude had prepared and headed toward Starlust Hotel. Only after she had arrived did she learn from the butler that it was a party."Is Eddy here, too?" Caroline asked. She absolutely did not want to see him.The butler, however, misunderstood. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Evans. He'll be here soon."Caroline was speechless. Would she be able to leave in time?But then, the door opened. Caroline had nowhere to go. Thus, she greeted, "Grandpa.""Oh!" Jude smiled when he saw Caroline. "Come, Carrie. Sit here with me."She sat next to him. Just then, she realized that everyone had yet to begin eating. They were probably waiting for someone important to arrive.As if reading her mind, Jude said with a chuckle, "We're here to celebrate Eddy's uncle's return to the country."Although Kirk had asked to keep this a secret, Jude had faith in Caroline. He believed that she would not be loose-lipped.Caroline was dazed for a moment

It was then that everyone reacted. They pushed Caroline over frantically and wiped the porridge off Layla. But even so, her scalp was burning. Her tears fell in large drops on the ground.The nurse barked, “Who are you? Do you know who you’ve angered?”Caroline replied coldly, “I’m Eddy’s fiancée.”Everyone was stunned. They began looking at Layla with different eyes.Layla panicked before she began explaining anxiously, “Your engagement was just a formality. There was no relationship at all. What Eddy and I have is true love. Could you give him back to me?”Everyone looked at Caroline in disdain.Caroline scoffed. What a bitch her cousin was.She crossed her arms and said calmly, “Since your relationship is so pure, why hasn’t Eddy nullified our engagement in front of Grandpa? Could he be lying to you?”Layla’s face was distorted. Many people were around, and she had to maintain her composure. She bit her lip. “I know you’re upset because you have to donate your kidney to save

"Dr. Yates." Layla's specialist shot her a look before saying to Sean, "I'd rather not trouble you personally on a minor surgery like this." Sean looked away, failing to remember where he had seen Layla before. Beautiful women all looked the same. Perhaps he was overthinking. He looked at the specialist. Since the previous discussion, the specialist had insisted on performing the surgery himself. Seeing his determination, Sean agreed. "Okay."After finally getting approval, the specialist let out a long breath and told the anesthetist, "Hurry up and give her the anesthesia." The anesthetist picked up a syringe and jabbed it into Caroline's arm. Watching the liquid flow into her body gradually, Caroline said weakly, "Let … let me … go …" Her eyelids felt heavier by the second as the liquid was injected into her. Images of countless people flashed in her mind. There was her mom and dad, Eddy, and her friends, but all of them only lingered briefly until Kirk's image appeared. Thinking
