Isabella received a call from Carly, and when she arrived at the hospital, she saw the latter with tears streaming down her face. She had never seen Carly so sad. Even though Carly was bullied and falsely accused in court a few years ago, she never looked so weak, helpless, and scared. At that moment, feeling heartbroken, Isabella rushed over and hugged her.

Carly waited for Isabella’s arrival. As soon as Isabella arrived, she stretched out her hands and hugged Isabella tightly; she couldn’t control herself and burst into tears. Isabella didn’t want to cry, but when hearing Carly’s sobs, tears rolled down her face. Perhaps because they were sisters, her heart ached when she saw Carly so upset.

“Carly, how’s Ronald?” asked Isabella worriedly. Carly wanted to answer, but she couldn’t speak at all. The operating room door hadn’t opened, and Carly didn’t know how Ronald was. She could only hope he was safe and sound.

A few minutes later, Adrian also hurried over. After he found out what had happened, his expression turned grim. It was his negligence. He shouldn’t have lowered his guard so soon and should have assigned bodyguards to protect them longer. Thinking of this, he apologized earnestly, “I’m sorry.”

Hearing this, Carly and Isabella were slightly stunned and wondered, ‘What does Adrian have to do with this? Why is he apologizing?‘

Adrian looked at them and muttered apologetically, “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have asked the bodyguards to leave so quickly.”

Hearing this, Carly shook her head. Adrian wasn’t to blame for dismissing the bodyguards because she told them not to follow her. After all, the bodyguards were all from the Carter family, and their daily pay was high. She had nothing and couldn’t allow the bodyguards to protect her like this. However, she didn’t expect such an accident to happen in such a short time. If she knew that things would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have let the bodyguards leave early, even if she had to pay them herself.

They waited outside the operating room for a long time. After about an hour, the door finally opened, and Ronald was wheeled out of the operating room. Carly wanted to ask about his condition but couldn’t move as she was too nervous, and her legs were weak. Isabella also wanted to inquire, but she soon noticed Carly’s state and had no choice but to hold her. Adrian was the first to walk up to the doctor and speak about what Carly and Isabella were most concerned about. He asked, “Doctor, how is Ronald?”

“The surgery was successful. He had five stitches and should be fine after rest,” the doctor stated. Everyone was relieved to hear that the operation went well, but Carly’s heart ached again when she heard Ronald had five stitches. She thought it was all her fault because she never should have stayed at Hivalis in the first place. After the divorce, she should have left with Ronald immediately, gone to a place where the Zane family could not find them, and started over so that Ronald would not get hurt. This happened due to her negligence and self–righteousness. She thought divorce would be enough but didn’t expect this to happen.

Carly cried again. After finally gaining strength in her legs, she hurriedly walked to the bed. After the operation, the doctors and nurses wheeled Ronald out and were about to transfer him to a ward. Adrian talked to the doctor for a while and asked them to transfer Ronald to the VIP ward. They quickly left the operating room and went to the ward. When they arrived at the VIP ward, Carly was still very worried and afraid that something terrible would happen to Ronald.

Damian came with Adrian just now. At the moment, the former stayed beside Ronald’s bed and stared at him solemnly, worrying about him. While the adults were concerned, Damian stretched out his hand, carefully held Ronald’s, and silently stayed by his side.

After a while, Carly’s stomach suddenly rumbled because she hadn’t eaten dinner yet. Adrian came to his senses and immediately said, “I’m going to buy some food.” Isabella looked at him and nodded slightly. After asking her to look after Damian, Adrian turned and left.

Isabella watched Adrian leave before looking at Carly and saying solemnly, “Carly, after Ronald wakes up, why don’t you move back to my place?” Carly was silent for a long time before finally shaking her head, rendering Isabella speechless.

Carly looked at Ronald and turned to Isabella before firmly stating, “Isabella, I want to leave Hivalis.”

“What?” Isabella said, stunned. Then, she asked worriedly, “But where do you want to go after leaving Hivalis?” They had lived in Hivalis for many years, and Isabella was concerned for Carly, who suddenly wanted to leave.

“Anywhere is fine, as long as Connor can’t find us,” uttered Carly.

Isabella suddenly understood Carly’s intentions. However, if that were the case, they would be separated. Meeting up would be inconvenient after they lived in different cities, so she was somewhat reluctant. Thinking of this, she said thoughtfully, “But no matter what, you have to make the arrangements before leaving.”

Carly nodded and said, “Yes.”

Isabella looked at Carly and added, “Before that, you and Ronald should live at our mansion. It’s safer there.”

Carly didn’t refuse this time and agreed, “Okay.”

Looking at Carly, Isabella felt sad. Finally, she couldn’t help crying again and reached out to hug her. Hugging her tight, she couldn’t help but say, “Carly, everything will be fine.”

Carly was uncertain if everything would be okay. However, after the incident, she was more confident that it was right take Ronald away from Connor, who didn’t deserve to be his father. She thought about it and said seriously, “I’ll try my The future was uncertain, but she would try her best to improve Ronald’s life.

A few days later, the Carter family learned about the matter and supported Carly, who wanted to leave Hivalis with Ronald

Carly wanted to quit her job and terminate the cooperation with the Carter family because she thought after leavin

Hivalis, she could no longer work at Carter’s Jewel. However, the Carter family was amused and rejected her resignation without hesitation, leaving her in a daze.

However, Patrick told her, “Carter’s Jewel is not only in Hivalis. We have many branches all over the country and some other cities. If you just want to move to another city, you can live in a city where there is a company branch. When you get there, you can work at Carter’s Jewel as usual.”

Carly was speechless.
