Chapter 627

News about Jude’s passing quickly spread everywhere. Since the reason for his passing wasn’t announced, all kinds of rumors began to emerge.

However, no one had imagined that Howard was the one who had killed Jude Everyone who knew Caroline learned about the danger she had been in that day through their respective connections, and they all checked up on her.

Gwen, Marietta, and Cheryl rushed to Caroline’s house as soon as they heard the news.

When Caroline saw how concerned her relatives and friends were, she forced herself to cheer up and welcomed them. She didn’t want to worry them.

“Sonia wanted to visit you too, but unfortunately, she’s filming overseas and couldn’t come back.”

Caroline hugged her shawl and spoke in a weak voice. Although she had managed to sleep in the past two days, she always been having nightmares in the middle of the night.

It had ruined her mental well–being, and she hadn’t been able to sleep well because of that. She whispered, “Tell her just to keep doing her job. She doesn’t have to worry about me.”

Gwen hesitated to speak and looked over at Marietta.

Marietta took Caroline’s hand and said, “Carrie, I have some good news.”

“What is it?”

“I already know which family adopted my daughter!”

Sure enough, Caroline’s mood improved.

“Which family is it?”

“The Hacketts! We still haven’t found out who my daughter is, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon.

enough!”

Caroline remembered that the Hacketts had many daughters. Even so, it should be pretty easy to get to the bottom of things.

After all, they just had to find people in the same age group as her, with an age gap of two to three years at most.

“That’s great.” Caroline finally felt a little better.

She took a breath and asked, “Mom, what will you do after you find her?”

“I haven’t thought about that.” Marietta held her chest.

“I mean, I’ve tried searching for her before, but I’ve never found anything. Although this is the closest I’ve been to finding her, I don’t dare celebrate too soon.”

Caroline understood how Marietta felt. Marietta was afraid of her joy being in vain.

So she comforted, “It’s okay. You have plenty of time to figure things out once you find her.”

“You’re right.” Marietta gently hugged Caroline.

After a long while, she spoke softly, “Carrie, I know you’re a very kind woman. But some things are just not your fault, so never blame yourself for what happened.”

Caroline gently rested her head on Marietta’s shoulders, her body trembling slightly. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would see Jude falling before her again.

“Mom…” Caroline sobbed.

“I feel so bad. If only that bullet had hit me like it had been meant to…”

“Don’t say that, you fool.” Marietta gently stroked Caroline’s hair. Caroline needed to face her own demons alone. They couldn’t help much with that.

After crying, Caroline felt much better. But everyone could tell that she was still forcing a smile.

“I think you need to hire a therapist for Caroline,” Marietta said to Kirk.

She had pulled him aside after telling the rest she was washing fruits. She was worried about Caroline’s mental state. Although Caroline put on a strong front, she was actually very vulnerable.

“I’ve already asked Sean to take care of it.”

Marietta was relieved to hear that. “Just let me know if you need anything.”

She said, “During this time, I’ll have my phone on 24/7. You can call me any time.”
