Chapter 192

Chapter 192 Are the Children Missing?

Caroline and Evan entered the hospital, both feeling calmer. They rode the elevator to the top floor.

As the elevator doors opened, Caroline’s surprise grew. It was like a spacious apartment up there, divided into five rooms by transparent glass. Sunlight streamed in, illuminating the space filled with flowers and trees. It felt cozy, more like a vacation spot than a hospital.

However, it was nothing like a typical hospital scene. It felt more like a holiday retreat.

Caroline’s attention shifted to the doctors, her gaze fixed on them as she observed the rooms. Her eyes landed on Lily, lying in a bed with a respirator.

Filled with relief upon hearing the steady sounds of the medical equipment, Caroline found some comfort.

The doctor, who had been noting down information about Lily, turned to face Evan. With respect, he bowed and began explaining the situation to Evan in fluent Spanish.

Meanwhile, the doctor’s expression displayed a mix of confusion and dissatisfaction.

Caroline observed their conversation, her concern deepening. “What did he say?”

Evan turned his intense gaze toward her. “He said Lily is no longer in danger.”

“Just that?” Caroline felt puzzled, as she had heard the doctor speak quite a bit just moments ago.

Evan pressed his lips together, his response somewhat vague.

The doctor from Aglait clarified that Lily was supposed to have awakened after her previous brain surgery. The fact that she remained in a coma was perplexing.

However, the doctor currently couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason, so he asked Evan if they should consider another brain surgery for Lily.

Caroline wasn’t pleased about Lily being moved to this hospital. Plus, the idea of another surgery brought about concerns of its own, considering the risks involved.

Evan needed time to think it over before explaining it to Caroline.

Caroline did not understand Spanish, so she let it go. Even if she was curious, Evan would not tell her more if he was reluctant.

Caroline sat beside the bed and gently held Lily’s hand.

After a while, she whispered. “Thank you.”

Evan’s gaze turned gentler upon hearing that. She finally spoke nicely to him “You don’t have to thank me,” Evan replied. “She was my employee, too.”

Caroline then fell silent.

In less than half an hour, Evan’s phone suddenly rang.

After picking it up and listening briefly, his face turned icy. “Ask all bodyguards to search around!”

Caroline subconsciously looked at Evan, thinking. What happened? Why does he look so bad? He even asked all the bodyguards to search for a person?

Caroline suddenly thought of her children. Her face soon turned pale, so she hurriedly asked, “Are the children missing?”

Evan stood up aloofly. “No! I need to go now. You can go home on your own later.”

He then strode out of the room.

Caroline felt uneasy, so she decided to call Axel. 1 Axel answered the call quickly, his young voice brimming with joy. “Mommy!”

Upon hearing his voice, Caroline felt a wave of relief.

She wondered, ‘What could have been the reason for Evan’s behavior earlier? Since the kids are fine, is there someone else influencing him so strongly?‘

However, Caroline swiftly set those thoughts aside. She realized she didn’t need to concern herself with Evan’s matters as they didn’t affect her directly.

Caroline refocused and spoke on the phone. “Axel, have you and your siblings had your meals?”

“Yes, Mommy. How about you?” Axel asked.

Caroline smiled as she replied, “I’ll eat something once we’re done talking. Remember, you all should sleep early, even if your father isn’t home, alright?”

“Sure thing,” Axel replied. “Mommy, do you want to talk to Ty and Lia?”
