Susan’s POV:
Although I knew that Adam was not reliable and that he had evil intentions, I had no choice but to hold
onto him.
Suppressing the fear in my heart, I forced myself to answer calmly.
"As long as you work with us, we will make sure that you get whatever you want."
Adam narrowed his eyes at me as though he was contemplating whether I was worth his help or not.
Pretending to be confident, I said to Raina, "From now on, you have to find a way to monitor the Moore
family."
Looking at her, I noticed the hesitation in her eyes, so I held her hand earnestly.
"Raina, as long as you do this, I can help you deal with Caroline."
The very mention of Caroline’s name irritated Raina, and she agreed immediately.
"Okay, I can ask Chloe for updates about the Moore family."
"But you need to be careful not to blow your cover, okay?" I warned.
"I get it."
"Three days later, I will let you know what you need to do next,"I said to Raina before I turned to Adam.I
instantly softened my voice on purpose.
"Adam, can you lend me some men? I will give you a great show."
However, Adam just looked at me coldly and did not say a word.
I was so nervous when I looked into his eyes, feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest
at any moment. Just when I thought that he was going to refuse, I noticed him grinning.
"Sure! I’m bored anyway.Susan, I just hope that you don’t let me down."
Caroline’s POV:
The bright sunlight was bathing me when I woke up.
Was it dusk already? Had I really slept through the day? I sat up in surprise, only to find that Charles
was still holding my hand.
Seeing that, my heart skipped a beat.I withdrew my hand at once.I then turned around, but I could not
see James in the ward.I suddenly heard my phone vibrating faintly.
By the time I found it, Elena had already hung up.
That was when I saw the notification saying that I had twenty-three missed calls.
Recalling that I had muted my phone when I had arrived at the hospital, and had forgotten to inform
Elena, I sent her a message in a hurry.
"I’ll be home soon" I put my phone away, and looked at Charles, who was lying on the bed.
He was still sleeping, and his face was slightly flushed.I touched his forehead, only to find that it was a
bit hot.
Although it had been a whole day, his fever had not reduced at all.
Frowning, I found an ice bag, wrapped it with a towel, and applied it to his forehead.
Looking at his delicate and handsome face, I remembered his murmuring.I was not fast asleep at that
time, and I woke up as soon as I heard his voice.
His apology and confession were sincere, and softened my heart at once.
I couldn’t help biting my lip as I sniffled and felt tears in my eyes.
However, I held back my tears and continued to stare at him in silence.
Time seemed to have stopped at that beautiful moment.
I even found myself hoping that Charles would be so peacefully asleep all the time.
He would not make me feel so sad if he was asleep.
At that moment, my phone vibrated again.
It was a call from my dad.
I walked up to the window quietly to answer it.
"Dad."
"Caroline, why didn’t you answer my call before?"
He sounded like he was dissatisfied with me.
Since I could not tell him that I was taking care of Charles now, I had to give him a vague answer.
"I am sorry, dad.I was just really busy."
"Is that so?"
My dad then added meaningfully, "Elena said you had gone to the hospital."
"I just felt a little uncomfortable, but I’m fine now."
I could not bring myself to tell him that I had come to the hospital to visit Charles because I did not want
him to think that I still had trouble moving on.
"Caroline, what do you think of Simon?"
Looking back at Charles subconsciously, I was a little hesitant.
A few seconds later, I sighed and replied, "Simon is a nice guy."
"Really? Then why don’t you think about dating him?" My dad asked with a smile.
Upon hearing that, I fell silent.
"Okay, I’ll think about it."
I hung up, walked back to the bed, and sat down.
My heart twisted into a knot as I gazed at Charles’ handsome face and reached out, wanting to smooth
his frown.
But I stopped.
I was worried that I might end up making a mistake again, so I quickly checked his temperature again,
and after making sure that it was normal, I walked out of the ward immediately.
The moment I opened the door, I saw Richard standing outside.
With a complicated expression, he said, "Scarlett…"
"Sorry, I’m Caroline Wilson," I corrected him.
With a bitter smile, Richard said in a serious tone, "No matter who you are, Mr.Moore has been waiting
for you to come back to him, and so are the kids.".
Although I was moved when I heard that, I kept a cold face.
"For many years now, I have watched you both go through almost all kinds of things.But I still can’t
understand one thing, though.It’s clear as day that you two are in love, so do you still have to torture
each other?" Richard sighed.
Why were we torturing each other? I didn’t know the reason, either.And I could never understand why
God put us through such terrible fate.
"Bye."
Without saying more, I turned around, and walked out of the hospital without looking back… There
were so many complex emotions brewing in my heart as I drove home.
Elena appeared out of nowhere before I could even take a sip of water.
"Caroline, where have you been?"
"I went to see James."
Elena replied with a nod and then brought up something else.
"I’ve been keeping an eye on Adam for a while now.And he’s been staying on the racecourse lately, but
he seemed to have gotten close to Susan."
With a solemn expression, I ordered, "Watch them both.Susan is not a good person."
After all, she used to be Rita’s accomplice, and if she dared to provoke me again, I would never let her
get away with it.
