Chapter 125

Chapter 125 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.”

He wouldn’t have a child with her before she moved on from her previous relationship It was in her and their future child’s best eventy Caroline waited for her blush to disappear before looking back at Kirk.

She asked, “Have you heard what happened to Brie?” She didn’t believe that Kirk would torture Brie to the brink of death. He didn’t have what it took.

“Yeah,” Kirk said casually.

“Who do you think did it?”

“I don’t know.” Kirk remained impassive.

“How did you get out of the hotel that day?” Caroline asked.

Brie had so many bodyguards with her. It was impossible for Kirk to leave that place unscathed.

“The bodyguards had already collapsed after I arrived.” Kirk wasn’t exactly lying.

Caroline stroked her chin, lost in thought. “That means there was another group of people that day. Could they be responsible for what happened to Brie?”

Kirk held Caroline’s hand. “Don’t think about it too much.”

“I’m just afraid…” Caroline looked up at Kirk tearfully.

Kirk’s heart melted instantly, and he held Caroline in his arms, saying softly, “Are you afraid that the Collins family will direct their anger on me if they can’t find the culprit?”

Caroline nodded in his arms.

Kirk kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry. The Collinses wouldn’t dare to cause me trouble.”

A smile finally appeared on Caroline’s face.

“You’re right. You have nothing to do with what happened to Brie. Mr. Collins won’t come after you unless he’s desperate.”

Kirk smiled but didn’t explain the actual reasoning behind his words.

Two days later, Kirk helped Caroline check out of the hospital. Then, he hailed a car to go to the airport.

Gwen had taken half a day off from work to see Caroline off. She said sadly, “I’ll miss you, Carol.

Caroline was also upset, but she still tried her best to comfort Gwen. “I’ll be back in half a month.

You can video call me when you have the time.”

“Okay, Gwen sniffled, hugging Caroline.

Sean and Kirk watched them nearby, not interrupting their goodbye.

After Caroline and Gwen broke their hug reluctantly, Kirk walked up to remind Caroline it was time to board the plane. “Carrie.”

Caroline nodded. She patted Gwen on the shoulder. Then, she followed Kirk into the gate.

Seeing Caroline leave her sight, Gwen couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore.

Sean hugged her, comforting her. “Oh, don’t cry. Didn’t she say she’d be back in half a month?” (1 Gwen burst into tears, wailing, “Just let me cry for a little bit! A pig has taken my best friend away from me!”

Sean’s expression turned dark.

At Morrison Manor, Howard stood up, slapping the table in front of him.

“Mr. Morrison Senior, I have nothing else to say. Since you insist on taking Caroline’s side, don’t blame me for what happens to her.”

Jude calmly reasoned with him, saying, “I’m not taking her side. I just think it’s ridiculous that you think Caroline is behind what happened to Brie. The Evans family has been in decline for years, and she’s just one woman. How can she do something like this?”

“Then, it has to be her husband.” Howard’s face was flushed with anger. “Otherwise, Brie wouldn’t keep repeating their names.”

Jude said, “I understand that you want to avenge your daughter, but…”

Howard waved his hand, cutting him off. “Enough, Mr. Morrison Senior. I came here to inform you of my intentions. If you insist on meddling with my plans, don’t blame me for what happens.” With that, he stormed out of the room.
