Evan went along with her. “No.”

Alex remained silent for a brief moment before finally speaking up. “Please tell me if you have any information

about her.”

“Hmm.”

“Also, how’s your situation there? When… are you coming back?” Alex took a deep breath, composing

himself.

“A few more days. I can’t be sure of the time to leave yet,” Evan replied.

“Evan… frankly… Caroline…”

The mention of Caroline tightened Evan’s chest with anxiety. He sensed something was amiss with Alex’s

hesitation.

Frowning, Evan asked, “What’s going on with Carol?”

Alex gnashed his teeth. “Nothing. It’s just that if you don’t come back, you might not be able to appease

Evan felt an ineffable emptiness in his heart. “Even though she has quite the temper, she wouldn’t inflict her anger

on you.”

Paige was stunned while Evan frowned.

Evan wondered, ‘Why is it Neil again? Hasn’t he returned the phone to Carol yet?‘

Paige asked, “Neil? Where is Carol?”

“Carol is… not feeling too well.” Neil looked out the window.

Knowing Caroline wouldn’t want Paige to worry, Neil chose to hide the truth.

“Not feeling too well? How so?” Paige asked anxiously.

“She has acute gastritis. She didn’t eat well because of the engagement incident, then she ate too much,”

Neil fabricated.

Paige was doubtful. “That’s not right. Carol wouldn’t eat too much even if she’s in a bad mood…”

Evan shared the same thought with Paige.

Neil explained, “I don’t know what she has eaten, but she is receiving an intravenous infusion now.”

Paige looked at Evan with an unpleasant expression. “Uh, Neil, can you take a photo of-”
