Chapter 47 Donât Be Mad at Him
Katieâs lips moved slightly. Caroline watch on as if in a trance, but no sound reached her ears.
The machine beside her emitted a long beep, plunging Carolineâs heart into an overwhelming. sense of
coldness.
In a rush, Evan arrived at the scene, guided by Carolineâs desperate cries and screams that echoed
from within the ward. His heart skipped a beat as he hastened his steps, eager to reach her side.
To his surprise, before he even entered the ward, he witnessed Scott tenderly patting Carolineâs
back, offering her comfort. A surge of anger replaced the initial ache in Evanâs heart, causing his
fists to clench tightly at his sides.
With a tense expression on his handsome face, Evan turned to Reuben, who stood by his side,
trembling with trepidation. âShall we go in, Mr. Jordan? Reuben asked cautiously.
Evanâs face remained impassive as he pivoted, issuing a cold command âInvestigate this. I want to
know whoâs responsible!â His voice held an icy edge.
Just as Reuben was about to depart, Evan added, âAlso, send a few people to the funeral. Make sure
everything goes well.â
Since Katie had no relatives or friends, Caroline organized a simple funeral for her. Both Paige and
Scott had taken leave to accompany Caroline during this difficult time.
For three days, Caroline barely ate or drank, and she only managed to steal a few hours of restless
sleep.
Paige felt really sorry for her friend. She approached Caroline, trying to offer solace. âCarol, please eat
something and rest for a while. Weâre here for you.â
However, Caroline shook her head silently.
Paige sighed and was about to resume her seat when something caught her eye. She turned her head
and noticed Daniellaâs presence.
Daniella was here alone.
Instantly, Paigeâs expression changed, and she moved to block Daniellaâs path. âWhat are your doing
here? If youâre here to cause trouble, leave now.â
Daniella raised an eyebrow. âCanât I come on behalf of Evan?â
Paige instinctively glanced at Caroline, who remained stoic, before redirecting her attention back to
Daniella and issued a warning. âIf you stir up trouble again, Iâll make you regret it!â

Daniella chuckled and pushed past Paige, stepping forward. She glanced at Caroline briefly and
then shifted her gaze to Scott, who stood beside her. After a momentary pause, she averted her
eyes.
Approaching the area, Daniella offered flowers in tribute to the deceased before turning her
attention to Caroline. âEvan is busy, so he couldnât make it. Donât be mad at him,â she stated matter
-ofâfactly.
Caroline lowered her head quietly, seemingly unaffected by Daniellaâs presence and words.
Daniella snorted and squatted down, feigning comfort as she whispered, âCaroline, thereâs no pity
in my heart for you. In fact, I believe you deserve every bit of this suffering. You attempt to steal
my man, and every day you cling to him relentlessly. Even God Himself cannot bear witness to such
audacity and is punishing you for it.â
She paused momentarily, a wicked smile dancing across her lips, before continuing. âAh, but
perhaps that wouldnât be fitting. I should have accused you of being the one who murdered your
own mothe. Wouldnât that have been more appropriate, you little mistress?â
Upon hearing the last word out of Daniellaâs mouth, Carolineâs eyes widened in disbelief. Abruptly
raising her head, she stared at Daniella with cold intensity. âWhat did you say?â
Daniella swiftly stood up, pretending to be panicked âCaroline, whatâs wrong with you?â
Carolineâs eyes reddened as her anger surged. âMistress?â
She had been tormented by this question for days, unable to comprehend who would be so wicked
as to desire her motherâs death and spread such rumors in the hospital, exposing her sick mother.
to unnecessary suffering.

Finally, the truth dawned on her, and there could be no one else but Daniella Daniella, who was
consumed by envy, was the very person behind this atrocious act.
Caroline stood up, her voice seething with rage. âWhat about me? How dare you come here! I know
it was you, even if I donât have any evidence! Daniella, you will face the consequences for
everything youâve done. Get out of here! Let my mother rest in peace! Leave! Now!â
Perceiving Carolineâs distress, Paige sensed something was amiss and urgently inquired, âWhatâs -
happening?â
Scott approached Caroline and supported her by holding her arm, while casting a somber look at
Daniella. âPlease leave,â he said firmly.
Infuriated, Daniella bit her lip and retorted, âHow ungrateful you all are! Caroline, youâve lost your mind.
Donât falsely accuse me!â
Carolineâs eyes burned with fierce coldness, bordering on a bloodthirsty glare. She angrily

Daniella hastily retreated, leaving Caroline grinding her teeth, her face drained of color, Moments
later, Caroline collapsed to the ground, and the anxious cries of Paige and Scott gradually faded
into the background.
The bodyguards stationed outside witnessed the ordeal and promptly reported the incident to
Evan. Upon receiving the news, Evanâs black eyes turned icy.
He ended the call and immediately dialed Daniellaâs number. In a stern tone, he demanded, âWhere
are you now?â
Daniella sobbed, filled with grievance. âEvan, I havenât done anything wrong. Why interrogate me over
the phone? Donât you trust me? Or are you starting to believe Carolineâs accusations? Do you
think Iâm the one who killed her mother?â 1
Evan clenched his lips tightly, a frustrated expression taking hold. Iâll ask you one last time.
Where are you now?â
Daniella pleaded, âEvan, please trust me. Iâll prove my innocence.â
