Chapter 79

Caroline’s thoughts were all jumbled up on the entire drive back home. She was so distracted that she almost crashed into some utility poles by the road. She couldn’t help but feel pissed every time she recalled what Kirk had said What was worse was that she couldn’t say anything to him. In the end, she parked the car by the roadside and took out her phone. Just as she was about to call another driver, her phone rang. It was Gwen “How was it today?”

“Forget it Disappointment seeped through her voice.

“What happened?” Gwen sounded nervous.

Caroline didn’t know how to explain things to Gwen, so she simply came up with an excuse Nothing Grandpa had to leave suddenly. I don’t know what happened.”

“Oh Gwen said, sounding mysterious all of a sudden. “Speaking of which, I saw lots of luxury cars parked at the hospital’s inpatient department that’s dedicated to the Morrisons. It seems like some big shot in their family was hospitalized.”
