Chapter 568

“Dr. Yates isn’t the issue here,” Caroline said.

Caroline’s words surprised Cheryl. “T–then, does Gwen not like Dr. Yates?”

“That’s not it.” Caroline didn’t want to tell Cheryl about Gwen’s family issues. Even though she saw Cheryl as a friend, she wouldn’t simply share another friend’s secrets.

“Then, what on earth happened?” Cheryl asked, scratching her head.

She couldn’t understand why two people who liked each other couldn’t be together. If Jack also liked her, she would definitely get into a relationship with him.

Caroline smiled and patted her shoulder. “You silly girl, after you get together with Jack, you’ll discover that love isn’t a fairy tale. It’s full of trials and tribulations. Things won’t be easy.”

Cheryl looked at Caroline and said warily, “Caroline, I don’t even want to be in a relationship after hearing you say that.”

Caroline chuckled. “Really? Don’t you want to be with Jack?”

“Caroline!” Cheryl stomped her foot, blushing.

“But seriously,” Caroline stopped smiling and continued, “what’s going on with the two of you?”

“Nothing is going on,” Cheryl sighed.

“I realized that Jack’s way of thinking differs from regular people’s.

“When he followed me home for dinner every day, the neighbors initially thought he was my boyfriend.

However, he would always tell them that we were siblings.

“Now, everyone in the vicinity knows I have a very strong brother, and they don’t dare mess with me,”

Cheryl explained with a somewhat proud expression.

Caroline smiled. “That doesn’t sound so bad.”

“As if!” Cheryl pursed her lips.

Blushing, she said, “I already have enough brothers. I even have dozens of cousins back in my hometown. I don’t need another brother.”

Caroline mused, “Why don’t I test him for you?”

“How will you do that?” Cheryl asked, tempted by Caroline’s offer.

Caroline said, “You don’t have to worry about that. But just to get this out of the way–don’t blame me if things don’t go as you expected.”

“Don’t worry, Caroline. If he doesn’t like me, that’s his problem. I wouldn’t blame you for that.”

Caroline nodded at her words and glanced at the entrance of the bathroom.

“How strange. Gwen has been in there for so long. Why hasn’t she come out yet?”

Cheryl said, “Let’s go in and check on her.”

The two walked into the bathroom and went to Gwen’s stall. When they opened the door, they looked at each other with helpless smiles.

Gwen had actually fallen asleep lying on the toilet. Damn it.

Caroline stepped forward and tried to pull her up. Unexpectedly, Gwen’s body was as heavy as lead. She couldn’t carry her at all.

“What’s wrong?” Cheryl asked, realizing something was wrong.

Caroline said, “I can’t pull her up.”

“Let me help.” Cheryl squeezed into the bathroom stall. They worked together to pull Gwen up, but they couldn’t.

Furthermore, Gwen kept her eyes closed throughout their struggles. It seemed that she couldn’t feel them at all.

“Wait,” Caroline said, her heart sinking for a moment. She stretched out her hånd under Gwen’s nose. When she felt her breathing, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She ordered, “Go and call Dr. Yates over.”

“But this is the women’s bathroom. He wouldn’t dare come in here …” Cheryl said hesitantly.

However, Sean was still an internationally recognized doctor.

“Hurry!” Caroline urged again.

“Just tell him Gwen passed out in the bathroom.”

Cheryl replied hurriedly. “Okay.”

Then, she ran out of the bathroom to get Sean Sean’s concern for Gwen was completely different from Cheryl’s. After finding out that Gwen had passed out, he stood up and strode to the bathroom without any hesitation.
