Chapter 759
Bogus Billionaire
Michael was puzzled to see Carolineâs text. âWhy?â
Caroline didnât give him a reason but insisted on getting the treatment the next day itself.
When Michael saw her message, he couldnât say anything else. After all, the one who was paying had the most say in this.
After deciding on a time for the appointment, Caroline finally found some peace within her panicked heart.
She sat limply in her chair. Now, she just had to wait for tomorrow to arrive.
Even after finishing the call with Caroline, Kirk still had a frown on his face. He did his work absentmindedly.
âHang on, didnât Caroline answer your call? Why are you still upset?â Sean asked in confusion.
Kirk said nothing in response. He simply looked at the ground gloomily.
Sean nudged him. Only then did Kirk look up at him.
Then, Sean noticed some emotions swirling in Kirkâs eyes, as if thoughts were brewing in his mind. âWâWhatâs wrong?â
Kirk pinched the bridge of his nose. âNothing.â
âIt doesnât look like it.â Sean was worried.
âWhat happened?â
Kirk let out a nervous breath. âI hope Iâm just overthinking things.â
Sean didnât need much to know that it had something to do with Caroline. âSince youâre so worried, Iâll go with you to see her tomorrow. How about that?â He could also see Gwen in the process.
Kirk finally nodded. âOkay.â
In that case, you should rest soon.â
Judging from Kirkâs condition, he probably wouldnât be able to keep working âYeah.â
Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night for Kirk.
Early the next day, Kirk got out of bed and called Sean.
Sean was still asleep. He said grumpily, âCome on, we donât have to go so early. Itâs only 6:00 am.
Donât worry. Caroline wonât go anywhere.â
Kirk frowned at Seanâs words. âHurry up and get out of bed. Iâm going there now.â
Having no other choice, Sean got up from his bed. After getting into Kirkâs car, he couldnât help but complain.
âKirk, I noticed you can never leave Carolineâs side. Tell me, will you go nuts if Caroline leaves you one day?â
Kirkâs expression darkened at his words, and Sean felt his sleepiness fade away from fear.
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Sean hurriedly slapped himself.
âKirk, donât take my words to heart. Thereâs no way Caroline would leave you.â
Kirk gripped the steering wheel. âI hope so.â
Sean wanted to say something to comfort him, but when he saw his friendâs tense expression, he couldnât say anything.
Just then, a car drove past them. However, both of them were lost in their thoughts. So they didnât notice it.
In the car, Gwen asked in confusion, âCarol, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Didnât we say weâll go sightseeing for two days?â
Caroline tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.
âIâm sorry, Gwen. Something came up on Dr. Caldwellâs end, and he asked me to come over, âGoodness. I canât believe him. Why did he call you over all of a sudden?â Gwen frowned.
âCarol, thereâs nothing wrong, right?â
âOf course.â Caroline smiled lightly.
âMaybe he called me over to discuss my treatment plans. It will be fine.â
âThatâs good.â Gwen was finally relieved.
