Chapter 765
Bogus Billionaire
Gwen immediately panicked. âDr. Caldwell! Dr. Caldwell!â
Michael rushed over after hearing Gwenâs yells. After seeing Carolineâs state, he could guess what had happened. He took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket.
Then, he took out a small pill and put it in Carolineâs mouth. After that, he asked some people to place Caroline on the hospital bed.
Gwen looked at Carolineâs pale face and asked anxiously, âDr. Caldwell, is Carol all right?â
Michael asked sternly, âDid you say anything to her?â
Gwen answered guiltily, âJust now, I forgot your instructions and told her about her ex-fiance, but I only said one sentenceâ¦â
Michael chided, âDidnât I already tell-â
When Michael saw Gwen lower her head, he knew she felt bad. He softened his tone. âI know that, as a layman, you donât understand Ms. Evansâ current situation. You can consider what happened just now as a reminder.â
He continued, âRemember, she has missing memories right now. How much she remembers depends entirely on the fragmented memories she currently possesses.
âSheâll have a stress response when she sees or hears things that are different from what she remembers.â
âI understand.â This time, Gwen drilled it into her head.
âAll right. Ms. Evans will wake up soon. I have some matters to attend to now.â
As soon as Michael left, Kirk and Sean came in.
âWhat happened to Caroline?â Sean asked in surprise when he saw Caroline lying on the bed.
âIâm sorry.â Gwenâs tears fell down her cheeks.
âWhat on earth happened?â Sean held Kirk back.
âCalm down and explain it to us.â
âJ-Just now, I mentioned Eddy to Carol. A-And she passed out from the painâ¦â
Gwen boldly looked up at Kirk, who was seeing red. âKirk, I know you really hate me. Go ahead and hit me.
Itâs all my fault. I shouldnât have mentioned Eddyâ¦â
Kirk was on the verge of going berserk. He would have hit Gwen with his fist if Sean hadnât used all his strength to hold him back.
âEnough!â Sean firmly threw Kirkâs hand away and stood in front of Gwen.
âKirk, I know youâre devastated, but Gwen didnât do it intentionally. Everyone here is as worried about Caroline as you are. Gwen isnât having a better time than you.â
Kirk was breathing heavily like a beast, but he remained silent. He looked terrifying and dangerous.
Sean could only continue talking. âYouâve seen what happened. Caroline ended up like this because Gwen mentioned Eddy. If we donât leave, arenât you afraid sheâll get triggered again when she sees us?â
Seanâs words were like sharp needles piercing Kirkâs chest. After a brief but painful struggle, Kirk relaxed his clenched fists. He told Gwen to take good care of Caroline and hurriedly left.
Seeing this, Sean quickly comforted Gwen. âDonât blame yourself. You didnât do it on purpose. Iâll go and check on him â¦â
After saying that, he remembered that he and Gwen were still fighting. He wanted to say something, but for a moment, he couldnât find the words. So he simply left.
As Gwen watched Sean leave, she felt a strange feeling in her chest. She felt like she was a boat lost at sea that had finally found its anchor.
Caroline woke up about an hour later.
Gwen was worried that she would trigger her by saying the wrong things. So this time, she didnât say anything. Instead, she silently led Caroline out of the room.
Caroline didnât seem to remember what had happened just now. âGwen, why do I remember walking this way before?â
