Chapter 764
Bogus Billionaire
Kirk had never been like this before. Even when Finn had stabbed him in the back and he had had to shoulder the burden of the entire family, he had never been this depressed.
Before this, Sean had thought Kirk had finally come alive after meeting Caroline. Only now did he feel that Kirk was a human being capable of showing vulnerability.
He stood silently for a while with Kirk and then said feebly, âLetâs go.â
Kirk turned around silently and glanced in the direction of the clinic. âYou can leave for now. I want to wait for her to leave.â
âButâ¦â Sean drew a deep breath.
âIâll wait here with you.â
Kirk said nothing in response and turned back to the car. Seeing this, Sean followed him and sat in the passenger seat.
Meanwhile, in the clinic, Gwen drew on what she remembered from the novels she usually read to deceive Caroline.
âSo Iâm here because I was in a car accident and lost my memory? Is that why you brought me to a psychiatrist?â
âYeah.â Gwen stared at Caroline nervously. At this moment, she could finally understand why Kirk had lied to Caroline.
Caroline wasnât suspicious at all. âWhat about the person who caused the accident?â
âOh, itâs been taken care of. You donât have to worry about it anymore. Letâs go home.â
Caroline looked at the clinicâs equipment, feeling strange. However, she couldnât describe exactly what she was feeling or why.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âOh, nothing.â Caroline shook her head. Then, she asked, âWho were those two people just now? Are they your friends?â
Gwen replied, âYeah.â
âBut I feel like one of them was staring at me so intensely, like I had borrowed money and not paid him back. Do I owe him money?â
Gwen blinked, almost shedding tears. âNo, heâs always like that.â
She hurriedly turned around and walked to the door. âShall we go?â
âOkay.â As Caroline got up from the bed, she felt a sharp pain welling in her chest. The pain made her take several deep breaths.
Gwen turned around nervously and walked over. âCarol â¦â
âIâm fineâ¦â
Caroline massaged her forehead. When the lingering pain passed, she let out a long sigh and said, âLetâs go.â
âAre you sure you can do it?â Gwen asked worriedly.
âYeah.â
Caroline got out of bed by holding the armrest. âSee? I told you I could.â
Gwen saw her friendâs familiar smile, and for a moment, she didnât know whether Caroline losing her memories was a good or bad thing.
The two of them walked to the door side by side. Halfway through, Caroline stopped walking and asked, â Does Eddy know that I was admitted here?â
Gwenâs heart dropped when she heard her question. Forgetting Michaelâs reminder, she said recklessly,â Have you forgotten? You and Eddy had a falling out a long time ago. You donât like him anymor-â
After saying that, she quickly covered her mouth, realizing her mistake.
Caroline slowly widened her eyes. The fear in her eyes made Gwenâs heart bleed. âCarol, I-â
Caroline could no longer hear what Gwen was saying. She held her head tightly and collapsed to the ground in pain. âNo-â
