Keep investigating. Keep searching. If they found something, great. If they didnât⦠then it didnât matter. After all, those two illegitimate children would either never make it out of Carolineâs womb or would be taken away the moment they were born. At this point, their biological fatherâs identity was insignificant.
With that thought, David turned and walked out of the hospital room, his footsteps echoing down the empty corridor.
It wasnât until several minutes after his presence had faded that Elizabeth dared to push the door open.
Who had Mr. Ellison been speaking to? And what was so important that he had to keep it from me? So secretive.
He was acting suspicious. She had only picked up a few wordsâclues, waiting, answers, and reports.
What exactly was he investigating?
Elizabethâs heart raced. She muttered under her breath, âCould this have something to do with me? What could be so important that Mr. Ellison is investing so much effort into uncovering it? What if⦠what if heâs trying to uncover the truth about that night? That would be a disaster!â She shook her head quickly. âNo, thatâs impossible. Everything is in my favor right now. Nothing can go wrong!â
Elizabeth took a deep breath and whispered a silent prayer.
âNo, I canât just sit here panicking. That wonât get me anywhere. I need to think. I have to find an opportunity to get answers from Mr. Ellison himself. Or at the very least, I need to be more observant when Iâm around himâwatch his expressions, listen to his words, and figure out what heâs after.â
With that resolution, Elizabeth slowly calmed down.
No matter what Mr. Ellison was investigating, it couldnât lead back to her.
She had worked too hard to get here. She wasnât going to let anything ruin it now.
The city was eerily still at this late hour. The roads were nearly empty, save for the occasional car that sped by, fading into the darkness just as quickly as it arrived.
Caroline stood by the roadside, idly kicking at a small rock with the tip of her shoe.
She had no idea how much longer she was supposed to wait.
Was David really going to leave her standing here all night while he spent time with Elizabeth?
It sounded exactly like something he would do. It wouldnât surprise her.

âTen more minutes. Thatâs all,â Caroline muttered. âIf David doesnât show up, Iâm marching into that hospital room. I donât care what theyâre doingâsleeping, talking, or something elseâIâll pull the covers off
them!â
Was he trying to toy with me?
The thought of David and Elizabethâs stunned expressions if she actually did it⦠It was almost amusing.

But then, the amusement faded, replaced by a hollow ache in her chest.

No matter how much rage or resentment she felt, she couldnât actually do anything to them. Her actions were nothing more than fleeting resistance, a way to release the frustration building inside her.
But for them? It didnât make a difference. It wouldnât leave a single scratch. Her little acts of defiance wouldnât actually hurt them.
But them? David had the power to ruin her life in an instant.
Elizabeth could set her up whenever she pleased.
And worst of all, the thought of her child being taken away before she even had a chance to hold themâ¦
Carolineâs stomach churned.
She couldnât let David take her baby.
She couldnât let her child be taken awayâthey had to be with her, living by her side!
But how? How was she supposed to fight against Davidâs control?
He was too powerful, too untouchableâalways getting exactly what he wanted.
Caroline despised him. But she was powerless against him.
âMs. Brooks.â A voice suddenly called out to herâgentle yet firm.
Caroline lifted her head.
A middleâaged man, dressed in a finely tailored suit, stood in front of her, smiling in a calm and polite
manner.
He looked familiar. But she couldnât remember where she had seen him before.
