Chapter 124

Eddy’s expression darkened. He snarled, “Gwen!”

Gwen said with contempt, “What’s wrong? Did she expect to escape unscathed after kidnapping Caroline and dragging her to Saint Pierre Grand Hotel?”

“What did you say?” Eddy was utterly confused.

Caroline looked at the foolish Eddy, who seemed to always come and question her whenever something happened.

“Mr. Eddy, please get the details right before you start pointing fingers. I have no idea why Brie was beaten up. If you have proof that I was behind this, feel free to show it to the police.”

“Hear that?” Gwen giddily watched Eddy’s face turn livid. “Also, Carol is married…”

She picked up Caroline’s hand, waving the diamond ring right in front of him.

“You’ve got to stop looking for Caroline every chance you get. Even if you’re not afraid of being misunderstood, I’m worried people would call Carol a philanderer.”

Eddy’s expression turned even darker. “Caroline, you’re becoming really cruel. Even if you had nothing to do with what happened to Brie, can you say the same for your husband?”

Caroline’s eyes widened slightly, but she gave a small smile.

“Even if he’s involved, that’s for us to handle as husband and wife. It doesn’t concern an outsider like you. If there’s nothing else, you may leave, Mr. Eddy.”

Eddy felt anger welling up in his chest. He was pissed.

After discovering that Caroline had been hospitalized, he’d rushed here without eating anything. He hadn’t even gotten a word of appreciation for his actions, and they’d ridiculed him instead.

The day he would care about her again was when hell froze over.

Eddy was so angry that he stormed out of the room, not bothering to spare any more pleasantries.

Meanwhile, Kirk strode toward the elevator downstairs. His phone was glued to his ear, and unlike how he acted with Caroline, there wasn’t a trace of tenderness on his face.

“Sir, I’ve booked the plane tickets.” Charles turned on his tablet and continued, “The people we you’d entered Don’t worry. The doctor has diagnosed her, and she’ll spend the rest of her life bedridden atal delirious No one will believe a word she says Expect “he paused Except what?

Charles shivered, hearing his boss‘ cold voice Bracing himself, he answered, “We still haven! found the two men who kidnapped Ms Evans that day”

Kirk looked up at the elevator to see that it had reached the second floor He ordered, ‘ll give all of you half a month to find them If you still can’t find them, figure things out yourself “Yes, sit “Charles trembled and hung up the phone hastily As Kirk put away his phone, the elevator door opened Eddy walked out of the elevator and was stunned when he saw Kirk Uncle Kirk What are you doing here?”

Then, he realized something ‘Are you here to see Caroline? You’d better not go, Uncle Konk She a just an ungrateful witch A cold glint appeared in Kirk’s eyes, but he said impassively. “I should still see here After all, cle Jude cares for her dearly Although I can’t tell him what happened to her, I should still weath ben on his behalf “Go ahead‘ Eddy walked out of the elevator without looking back After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned back around Seeing this, Kirk frowned slightly *Ady walked back into the elevator and pressed the close button.

Kuk walked out of the elevator, Tus tall figus blacking Eddy’s way You should go home “She’s a patient. She needs to recuperate in peace. If she sees you, it’ll affect her mood,” Kirk explained Eddy silently remained in the elevator.

After the elevator door closed, Kirk turned around, his face darkening momentarily. Then, he walked into Caroline’s hospital room with steady steps, smiling once more.

“You’re done so soon?” Caroline couldn’t hold back her smile when she saw Kirk return.

Taking the hint, Gwen said, “I’m leaving. I’m not going to be a third wheel.”

With one final glance at them, she waved her hand and left.

Kirk sat beside Caroline, asking, “How are you feeling?”

“A lot better. The doctor said I can remove the bandages tomorrow.” Caroline gripped the hem of her shirt, her face flushed.

She asked nervously, “I’m going to see your dad soon. Is there anything about him that I need to take note of?”

Kirk patted Caroline’s head with a smile. “My dad’s easy to get along with.”

“What about your siblings?”

“I’m an only child.”

Caroline let out a sigh, feeling much more relaxed. “Have you seen the gift I got for your dad?

Should I get anything else?”

Kirk hugged Caroline, smelling the faint, flowery scent on her body. He mused, “At the moment, what he wants the most is…”

“What?” Caroline asked innocently.

Kirk’s lips curled into a wicked smile. “A grandchild.”

His hot breath fanned against Caroline’s ears. She felt half of her face turn warm instantly, and she angrily shoved him away. “You’re weird.”

Since when is having children weird?” Kirk asked cheekily.

Caroline’s face flushed red, and she turned away. “I’m not talking to you anymore.”

Kirk hopped her from behind muzzling has heard against the neck like a puppy I’m just & uting.”
