Chapter 635
Trapped in Love
Paige and Alex stayed for a while before they departed.
Axel hadn't been discharged from the hospital yet, even after «coming out of protective isolation. Caroline suggested staying back to keep him company.
Evan took on the responsibility of looking after Liora and Tyler.
After Evan left, Caroline met with Axel's attending physician.
âDr. Webber, can we travel with the child?â Richie replied, âHe's recovering quickly, so a trip should be fine. However, it would be best to have a doctor accompany you.â Caroline was relieved and asked, âWill he be discharged tomorrow?â Richie said, âIt would be nice to have him home for Lundi Gras.
After all, heâs been in protective isolation all by himself for a month.â Caroline replied with gratitude, âThank you.â âWhen Caroline returned to the room, she found Axel already
asleep. She gently caressed his face, and he slowly opened his eyes as if he sensed it.
Caroline stopped her movement and said, âI'm sorry for waking you, Axel.â Axel shook his head and replied, âIt's okay, Mommy.â
Caroline asked, âAre you hungry? Shall I get you something to eat?â âI'm not hungry. I have a question for you, Mommy,â Axel cautiously said.
Caroline smiled and asked, âWhat is it, my dear?â âMommy, will you and Daddy reconcile?â Axel asked.
Caroline was taken aback. âWhy do you ask?â Axel explained, âI didnât see you two arguing today. A lot has happened in the past month, hasn't it?â Caroline pulled back her hand, sat down, and gently pulled Axel into her arms. âMy dear, a lot has indeed happened recently. However, it's a complex situation. I can't give you a definite answer about the future between your father and me, but I can tell you this. If we can overcome our differences, we'll be together.â She would carefully consider her decision for the sake of her children now that Daniellaâs situation had been resolved.
Axel leaned against Caroline with his eyes closed. âI'll respect your decision, Mommy.â Caroline kissed the top of Axel's head. âAnd I'll work hard for you.â âI will work hard to convince myself to accept Evan again,â she thought.
At 10:00 p.m., Caroline put Axel to bed and prepared to lie down on the other bed. Just as she was about to get into bed, Evan entered.
She looked at him in surprise and whispered, âWhy are you back? Where are the children?â âThey're at Bayview Villa with Eira,â Evan replied.
Caroline said, âYou sent them back to Bayview Villa?" Evan nodded and sat down. âYou should be more at ease knowing they're with your nanny rather than my service staff.â Caroline lowered her gaze, not sure what to say. After all, Evan was telling the truth. She would have been.
worried if he had left the children at Villa Rosa.
Caroline asked, âWill you be leaving again later?â Evan smiled at Caroline. âDo you want me to stay?â Caroline blushed. âThat's not what I meant.â
Evan said, âLet's spend Lundi Gras together tomorrow.â Caroline replied, âIt's probably crowded at my house tomorrow night. If you donât mind-" Evan raised an eyebrow. âDo you think I'd mind your family members? Or do you not want Axel and me to be there?â
