Chapter 651

Caroline was still angry as she walked off. She really felt that there was something wrong with Eddy.

In the past, when she had wanted to marry him, he had been so reluctant. Now that she had gotten over him, he was the one who made it seem like he wanted to marry no one else but her.

If it was because of Jude’s dying wish, then he really didn’t need to do that. After all, there was no way she was going to divorce Kirk.

After calming herself down, Caroline went off to deal with other matters. Until dinnertime, she managed to avoid seeing Eddy.

When she got some free time, she gave Simon a heads–up before going upstairs for some rest.

Once she got upstairs, Caroline went to a guest room. Opening the door, a familiar feeling overtook her.

Before she and Eddy had broken things off, she had occasionally stayed here.

She didn’t expect that, after so long not coming here, the room would still be maintained in the same way. It was as if the person who stayed there had never left.

Caroline was plagued by thoughts as she sat on the bed.

In this family, it was only Jude who had treated her with genuine affection.

She lay on the bed and gradually slipped into the world of dreams.

In her semi–consciousness, she felt like she had arrived at a city of mist. All around here, things were blurry.

Suddenly, she seemed to see a figure dash past behind her.

Caroline had no idea what was going on. She could only hear a man’s voice shouting, “Kidnapping!

There’s been a kidnapping!”

Then, there was silence. She couldn’t hear anything more.

When she opened her eyes, Caroline found herself in another place.

This place was shrouded in gray as before, and she couldn’t see anything clearly. However, she They seemed to be screaming, “I want Mommy and Daddy …”

The cries by her ears then became soft words.

“There, there. Forgetting the past means that you’ll be starting a new future. Just forget what happened…”

However, before she could hear what the other person was saying clearly, a strong force dragged her somewhere else.

She was no longer looking at a huge expanse of gray but rather white. It looked like heaven.

Caroline walked slowly forward. After talking a few steps, she noticed Jude lying in his sick bed. The gunshot wound on his chest was still bleeding profusely.

However, there was no pain on his features. Instead, he looked grateful as he waved to her.

For a moment, Caroline couldn’t differentiate whether what she was seeing was a dream or reality. She instinctively walked toward Jude.

When she got close, she couldn’t help but throw herself in Jude’s arms. “Grandpa, is it really you?”

Jude smiled at her, his eyes full of joy.

“Grandpa, you …‘

“Carrie …” Jude said slowly. His voice drifted as if in the wind. “I’m so happy. You and Eddy are finally going to get married.”

Hearing this, Caroline got a fright. She quickly waved her hands. “Grandpa, you’ve got it wrong.”

But it seemed that Jude couldn’t hear her speak at all. He continued, “I’m so happy. All my life, I’ve wanted to see you and Eddy together. Now, I will finally get my wish.”

“Grandpa, I’m not with Eddy, and there’s no way I’ll marry him.”

This time, Jude could hear what Caroline was saying. Disappointment gushed from his eyes. “Is what you’re saying true?”

Caroline could barely look Jude in the eye. She felt such heavy guilt that she couldn’t even raise her head.
