Eddy and Caroline both walked out of the hall. The second they were out the door, Eddy grabbed her by her neck. "Don't think that you're invincible just because my grandfather favors you!"Caroline could hardly breathe, but the smile on her face remained. She choked. "Well, you should stop thinking about using my kidney the price for marriage and clear things up with Grandpa soon. Otherwise, there's no telling what else I'll say."Eddy trembled violently. The Caroline before him seemed to have changed. She was no longer obedient like a lamb.He tightened his grip and warned, "Don't you dare think of playing any games. I will never call the marriage off. You will give your kidney to Layla!"Then, he turned and left.Caroline watched as he left, suddenly unable to understand how she had fallen for him eight years ago. However, she did not dwell upon it. She turned, about to ask an employee about what happened to Eddy's uncle, when she caught sight of Kirk not far away.She couldn't
It was then that everyone reacted. They pushed Caroline over frantically and wiped the porridge off Layla. But even so, her scalp was burning. Her tears fell in large drops on the ground.The nurse barked, “Who are you? Do you know who you’ve angered?”Caroline replied coldly, “I’m Eddy’s fiancée.”Everyone was stunned. They began looking at Layla with different eyes.Layla panicked before she began explaining anxiously, “Your engagement was just a formality. There was no relationship at all. What Eddy and I have is true love. Could you give him back to me?”Everyone looked at Caroline in disdain.Caroline scoffed. What a bitch her cousin was.She crossed her arms and said calmly, “Since your relationship is so pure, why hasn’t Eddy nullified our engagement in front of Grandpa? Could he be lying to you?”Layla’s face was distorted. Many people were around, and she had to maintain her composure. She bit her lip. “I know you’re upset because you have to donate your kidney to save
Sean was standing a distance away from the table and could not see what Carolien looked like. He nodded at Eddy's words.As the most skilled kidney specialist in the world, a surgery like this was child's play to him. He only came back to handle this surgery because of Kirk."I'm going to leave. The rest is in your hands," Eddy said to Sean before turning to leave.At this moment, outside City Hall, Kirk got down the car, attracting the attention of many.He wore ordinary clothes, and his car was nothing extraordinary. However, his bearing made him stand out among the crowd, and with his handsome features and perfectly sculpted figure, it was hard to go unnoticed.Kirk was standing alone at the door, faced with their attention. He looked at the watch on his wrist, revealing the smooth contours of his muscles.It was already ten minutes past nine, but Caroline had not yet appeared.He did not like tardy people.He called Caroline on his phone, but no one answered. This made him
"Dr. Yates." Layla's specialist shot her a look before saying to Sean, "I'd rather not trouble you personally on a minor surgery like this." Sean looked away, failing to remember where he had seen Layla before. Beautiful women all looked the same. Perhaps he was overthinking. He looked at the specialist. Since the previous discussion, the specialist had insisted on performing the surgery himself. Seeing his determination, Sean agreed. "Okay."After finally getting approval, the specialist let out a long breath and told the anesthetist, "Hurry up and give her the anesthesia." The anesthetist picked up a syringe and jabbed it into Caroline's arm. Watching the liquid flow into her body gradually, Caroline said weakly, "Let … let me … go …" Her eyelids felt heavier by the second as the liquid was injected into her. Images of countless people flashed in her mind. There was her mom and dad, Eddy, and her friends, but all of them only lingered briefly until Kirk's image appeared. Thinking
One look from Kirk was enough to make the bodyguard tremble. "Second floor. Number 208." After getting the information he needed, Kirk crushed the walkie-talkie under his heel and turned around to go upstairs. The bodyguards stared at each other after seeing the crushed walkie-talkie on the ground, none of them daring to move a finger. Even after Kirk had gone into the elevator, nobody dared to fish out their walkie-talkies to call for backup.The elevator arrived at the second floor in a flash. Kirk immediately spotted the red light outside the operation theater numbered 208. The piercing red gleam was like a knife slashing through Kirk's heart. He clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white. He walked to the door and slammed his fist into it with a bang. The sturdy wooden door burst open, and everyone in the operation theater jumped in fright, staring at the entrance. They spotted Kirk at once, his eyes bloodshot, looking out of control. Other people didn't know
Caroline was in critical condition. That knowledge made Kirk's gaze darken as a murderous aura washed over him. The nurse shuddered as she recalled how he had burst in. She worried that he would punch her. Thank goodness he had moved far away and was busy making a call."Ask the blood bank to prepare for a blood transfusion immediately," Kirk said while gripping his phone, his voice grave. His assistant hesitated on the other end of the line. "Mr. Morrison, didn't you say you don't want others to know that you're back—""Just do what I say!" "Understood." The assistant paled and did as he was told. After hanging up, Kirk closed his eyes and slowly let out a sigh. He was still mad and had not let go of it. He returned to the operation room to see the red light above the door still lit, as though it was prophesying something. …Half an hour later, Sean walked out of the operation room looking worn out. "Caroline's fine. She'll wake up at around night time."The frown on Ki
"Kirk?""Yeah?"Leaning against him, Caroline felt the resonation in his chest as he spoke, and she realized that this was not a dream. She was lying in his arms. A blush crept up Caroline's cheeks as she breathed in the strong scent of his cologne. "Where am I?" Caroline muttered uneasily."We're in the hospital." Kirk paused and let go of Caroline.She was starting to move when he held her down."Don't move," he said. "You just had an operation. Get some rest."Caroline paled. "My kidneys …""They're still here," Kirk said, pointing at her back. "When I arrived, the operation was already halfway through. You were sewn up after that."Caroline felt relieved. After a moment, she turned to him and asked, "Are you okay?"This hospital block they were in was only accessible by the Morrisons, so outsiders could not enter it.Kirk showed a mischievous smile and moved away from Caroline. "What do you think?" She eyed him up and down to ensure he was not hurt and sighed in relief.
Kirk clenched his fists as he stared at his reflection in the glass. His assistant, Charles Lane, waited for a reply but was met with silence, so he asked, "Mr. Morrison, about our next course of action …" "Toss him to the outskirts of the city to rot." "But we're in Easton. This country isn't our territory," Charles reminded him hastily. Kirk's knuckles turned white, and his gaze darkened. "Then make him suffer for a few days. Let him go only when he learns how to keep his mouth shut." "Alright." Kirk eased the grip on his phone, emotions in chaos. He turned to see Caroline enjoying the food he had bought for her, her face glowing while she ate. She looked just like a bunny that just got its paws on some carrots, and the frown on his face gradually vanished. … Sean was a true professional. It only took three days for Caroline to move around freely. "Just one more follow-up, and you're good to go." Sean grinned."Thank you, Dr. Yates," said Caroline. Sean glanced
