Chapter 406 No One Can Stop Him

Daniella panicked and looked doubtful as she clutched her phone tightly and stared at the door.

She couldn’t let Casey be with Caroline. She doubted Casey’s feelings for Caroline, and that could put

her in a dangerous position.

Meanwhile, Caroline and Mary returned from the grocery store with fruits.

As Caroline headed back to the room, she noticed a familiar figure. Her steps halted, and her eyes

widened in shock upon recognizing the person

Approaching the person, she uttered, “Scott.”

Scott was taken aback. He turned to face Caroline just moments later.

Before he could call out to her, Caroline’s expression turned cold. “You didn’t tell me you were

back.”

Scott appeared slightly frustrated. “Don’t be upset. I wanted to surprise you, but you found me first

Caroline composed herself and said, “Next time, please inform me in advance so I can…”

Then, Caroline remembered she hadn’t fully recovered yet.

Scott noticed Caroline in her patient gown and frowned. “Why are you in the hospital?”

Caroline smiled bitterly. “It’s a long story. Many things happened during your absence.”

Scott appeared deeply concerned. He nodded at the reception nurse and led Caroline to his office.

He closed the door, seated Caroline, and said sternly, “Please, tell me briefly what happened.”

Caroline briefed Scott about Jamie and Draco’s issues.

Scott was shocked. Recovering from his surprise, he gently rolled up Caroline’s sleeve and. inspected

her heavily bandaged arm.

“I’m sorry…

Scott examined Caroline’s injury and ran his fingers lightly across the bandage.

Caroline couldn’t help but chuckle at his mannerisms. “It’s not your fault. Besides, I’m fine now.”

“This doesn’t look fine! He hit you with a whip. Do you realize it might leave scars? Some are severe

enough to require stitches. How brutal were they?” Scott grunted.

Caroline felt uneasy sensing Scott’s anger. She was enveloped in the oppressive ambiance of the

office.

After a long pause, Scott said, “I won’t leave you again.”

Scott raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. “I didn’t spend enough time with you… If only I could.

have returned sooner.”

“What’s meant to happen will happen. No one can stop Mr. Jordan Sr. if he’s determined to do this,

“Caroline said.

Scott added self–blamingly, “I wasn’t capable enough.”

“It has nothing to do with you. I’ll prove my innocence myself, Caroline reassured him.

Scott asked, “How do you plan to do that?”

Caroline smiled. “I haven’t figured it out yet. For now, I’ll take it one step at a time.”

Even if she had a plan, she wouldn’t disclose it to Scott. He was experiencing career growth, and

she didn’t want to distract him.

Scott placed his palm on Caroline’s cold hand, holding it gently. “Carol, I’ll become stronger so I can

protect you and the children.”

Caroline blushed, lowered her head, and averted her gaze. “I haven’t had my dressings changed

today, would you mind doing it for me?”
