Chapter 772
Bogus Billionaire
Eddy looked at Caroline inside the room worriedly. âI rushed over when I heard Caroline was hospitalized.
Is she okay?â
âItâs none of your business if sheâs fine or not. Also, could you please keep an eye on Layla?â
âLayla ⦠Iâve asked the doctor just now. Laylaâs never going to wake up again due to her traumatic head injury.â
Gwen grinned when she heard that. âWhat good news. Hahaha. Karma is doing its job!â
âAlthough Layla did deserve this, sheâs already suffering from such a fate â¦â
âShut up!â Gwen glared at Eddy.
âHow could you say that sheâs pitiful? She brought it upon herself. The most pitiful one is Carol. She had to pay the price for both of your actions. What did she do wrong? She lost her husband and everything for the sake of both of you!â
Eddy allowed her to ruthlessly beat on his chest.
Gwen tired herself out and finally stopped. Then, she clutched her face in agony.
Looking at Gwen, Eddy said sincerely, âGwen, believe me. I didnât want this to happen. I only want to be with Caroline and complete Grandpaâs last wish.â
When Gwen heard that, she lifted her head to look at him. Her eyes were extremely red.
Gwen grabbed his collar abruptly. âDying wish. Itâs your grandfatherâs dying wish again. Are you saying that Caroline should suffer once more just because your grandfather died?
âDo you remember how you treated her when she wished to get married to you? Yet, you want to get married to her now for the sake of your grandfather!â
âGwen â¦â
In the midst of Gwenâs anger, the weak voice flowed into her ears like a gentle stream. Gwen quickly turned back to see Caroline, who had awakened on her bed at some point.
âCarol â¦â
Gwen looked at Caroline uneasily. She wondered how much of their conversation Caroline had listened in 1.
However, Gwenâs attention was placed on Eddy, who was holding the red roses.
âEddy, are you here to visit me?â she asked carefully.
Gwen was instantly reminded of how petty and selfless Caroline was at Eddyâs beck and call at that time.
Gwen looked at Eddy uneasily.
Eddy also realized Carolineâs abnormal behavior.
Eddy walked up to her. âYes. Are you okay, Caroline?â
âIâm fine.â Caroline turned her attention to the bouquet. âAre the flowers for me too?â
âThatâs right.â
Eddy quickly placed the flowers before her. âDo you like them?â He kept his eyes on Caroline for the entire time.
âYes. I like it a lot. I think this is the first time youâve gotten me roses, Eddy.â
When Eddy heard that, he looked at Gwen in disbelief.
Gwen had furrowed her eyebrows. Not wanting to witness such a scene, she turned around.
She couldnât tell the truth to Caroline. However, she wasnât willing to watch the latter get deceived either.
Gwen could only say helplessly, âCarol, Iâm going to step out for a while.â
Caroline looked at Gwenâs retreating figure in confusion.
âCaroline.â Eddy blocked her line of sight.
âAre you okay?â
He tried to reach out his hand to caress her cheek.
However, Caroline tilted her head just as he was about to touch her face. âEddy, these flowers are beautiful.â She picked up the bouquet of roses.
Eddy looked at his hand before turning to glance at her.
Carolineâs gaze had been full of disgust when she had look-
different now.â
âCaroline, donât you hate me anymore?â
at him before. However, she seemed âHate you? Why would I hate you?â
âBecause-
âEddy!â Gwen shouted outside the door, interrupting the duoâs conversation.
