Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Don’t Be Mad at Him Katie’s lips moved slightly. Caroline watch on as if in a trance, but no sound reached her ears.

The machine beside her emitted a long beep, plunging Caroline’s heart into an overwhelming. sense of coldness.

In a rush, Evan arrived at the scene, guided by Caroline’s desperate cries and screams that echoed from within the ward. His heart skipped a beat as he hastened his steps, eager to reach her side.

To his surprise, before he even entered the ward, he witnessed Scott tenderly patting Caroline’s back, offering her comfort. A surge of anger replaced the initial ache in Evan’s heart, causing his fists to clench tightly at his sides.

With a tense expression on his handsome face, Evan turned to Reuben, who stood by his side, trembling with trepidation. “Shall we go in, Mr. Jordan? Reuben asked cautiously.

Evan’s face remained impassive as he pivoted, issuing a cold command “Investigate this. I want to know who’s responsible!” His voice held an icy edge.

Just as Reuben was about to depart, Evan added, “Also, send a few people to the funeral. Make sure everything goes well.”

Since Katie had no relatives or friends, Caroline organized a simple funeral for her. Both Paige and Scott had taken leave to accompany Caroline during this difficult time.

For three days, Caroline barely ate or drank, and she only managed to steal a few hours of restless sleep.

Paige felt really sorry for her friend. She approached Caroline, trying to offer solace. “Carol, please eat something and rest for a while. We’re here for you.”

However, Caroline shook her head silently.

Paige sighed and was about to resume her seat when something caught her eye. She turned her head and noticed Daniella’s presence.

Daniella was here alone.

Instantly, Paige’s expression changed, and she moved to block Daniella’s path. “What are your doing here? If you’re here to cause trouble, leave now.”

Daniella raised an eyebrow. “Can’t I come on behalf of Evan?”

Paige instinctively glanced at Caroline, who remained stoic, before redirecting her attention back to Daniella and issued a warning. “If you stir up trouble again, I’ll make you regret it!”

Daniella chuckled and pushed past Paige, stepping forward. She glanced at Caroline briefly and then shifted her gaze to Scott, who stood beside her. After a momentary pause, she averted her eyes.

Approaching the area, Daniella offered flowers in tribute to the deceased before turning her attention to Caroline. “Evan is busy, so he couldn’t make it. Don’t be mad at him,” she stated matter -of–factly.

Caroline lowered her head quietly, seemingly unaffected by Daniella’s presence and words.

Daniella snorted and squatted down, feigning comfort as she whispered, “Caroline, there’s no pity in my heart for you. In fact, I believe you deserve every bit of this suffering. You attempt to steal my man, and every day you cling to him relentlessly. Even God Himself cannot bear witness to such audacity and is punishing you for it.”

She paused momentarily, a wicked smile dancing across her lips, before continuing. “Ah, but perhaps that wouldn’t be fitting. I should have accused you of being the one who murdered your own mothe. Wouldn’t that have been more appropriate, you little mistress?”

Upon hearing the last word out of Daniella’s mouth, Caroline’s eyes widened in disbelief. Abruptly raising her head, she stared at Daniella with cold intensity. “What did you say?”

Daniella swiftly stood up, pretending to be panicked “Caroline, what’s wrong with you?”

Caroline’s eyes reddened as her anger surged. “Mistress?‘

She had been tormented by this question for days, unable to comprehend who would be so wicked as to desire her mother’s death and spread such rumors in the hospital, exposing her sick mother.

to unnecessary suffering.

on Finally, the truth dawned on her, and there could be no one else but Daniella Daniella, who was consumed by envy, was the very person behind this atrocious act.

Caroline stood up, her voice seething with rage. “What about me? How dare you come here! I know it was you, even if I don’t have any evidence! Daniella, you will face the consequences for everything you’ve done. Get out of here! Let my mother rest in peace! Leave! Now!”

Perceiving Caroline’s distress, Paige sensed something was amiss and urgently inquired, “What’s -

happening?”

Scott approached Caroline and supported her by holding her arm, while casting a somber look at Daniella. “Please leave,” he said firmly.

Infuriated, Daniella bit her lip and retorted, “How ungrateful you all are! Caroline, you’ve lost your mind.

Don’t falsely accuse me!”

Caroline’s eyes burned with fierce coldness, bordering on a bloodthirsty glare. She angrily Daniella hastily retreated, leaving Caroline grinding her teeth, her face drained of color, Moments later, Caroline collapsed to the ground, and the anxious cries of Paige and Scott gradually faded into the background.

The bodyguards stationed outside witnessed the ordeal and promptly reported the incident to Evan. Upon receiving the news, Evan’s black eyes turned icy.

He ended the call and immediately dialed Daniella’s number. In a stern tone, he demanded, “Where are you now?”

Daniella sobbed, filled with grievance. “Evan, I haven’t done anything wrong. Why interrogate me over the phone? Don’t you trust me? Or are you starting to believe Caroline’s accusations? Do you think I’m the one who killed her mother?” 1 Evan clenched his lips tightly, a frustrated expression taking hold. I’ll ask you one last time.

Where are you now?”

Daniella pleaded, “Evan, please trust me. I’ll prove my innocence.”
