Chapter 794
Bogus Billionaire
The door was pushed open with a loud bang. Kirk raised his head and looked at the door.
When he saw who had arrived, he was momentarily stunned. Then, he shoved the glass bottle at his neck.
Seeing this, the newcomer barged into the room and kicked the bottle out of his hand.
However, Kirk didnât give up. He picked up another piece of broken glass and tried to stab it into his neck.
âFine, do it if you want. If youâre dead, Iâll have one less rival.â
The manâs voice made Kirk stop. He looked up at the newcomer, who was none other than Adrian.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Adrian snatched the glass shard from Kirkâs hand.
He looked down and noticed the wounds on Kirkâs hands. Kirkâs skin had gotten cuts from the glass.
He wordlessly took a towel from his bag and tossed it at Kirk.
Kirk glanced at him, but he didnât accept the towel.
Adrian sat down opposite him and ignored him. He simply sneered, âYou have big balls, donât you? If you donât treat that wound, itâll get infected.
âWhen that happens, you wonât be able to survive anyway. Well, thatâs good. Without you as my rival, maybe Caroline will be with me.â
Kirk silently picked up the towel and covered his hand with it. Then, he struggled to sit up from the ground.
After a long while, he asked, âWhy are you back here?â
t âDo you think I could stay away after hearing that something had happened to Caroline?â
Adrian looked at Kirk. He had already considered beating up Kirk before returning to Easton, but now â¦
âHow do you know about that?â
Kirk said coldly, âSeems like you were paying a lot of attention to her despite being in Macldo.â
âOf course,â Adrian said.
âBut I didnât find out that something happened to her because I was focused on her.â
He had been confused when he had seen the news of Caroline and Eddyâs engagement.
However, he hadnât rushed back to Easton because of the engagement. He had returned because Quentin That was when he had realized that something had happened to Caroline. So he had bought a plane ticket back to Easton..
Unexpectedly, he had seen the news of Caroline and Eddyâs engagement the moment he had returned.
That made him more certain that something had happened to her.
âAll right, tell me whatâs going on. Why did Caroline agree to get engaged to Eddy out of the blue?â
Kirk looked up at Adrian. They hadnât seen each other for a while, but Adrian had changed a lot.
He was less jovial than before. Instead, he was more gloomy. However, he was also calmer.
Kirk looked away. âShe lost her memory.â
As his rival in love, he should hate Adrian right now. However, he could still talk to him calmly. He had to admit that fate could make even the strangest things happen.
âShe has amnesia?â Adrian was shocked.
âHow could this be? Then ⦠havenât you ever thought about helping her get her memories back?â
âGet them back, you say?â Kirk smiled, but that smile was filled with sorrow.
âI canât even be around her.â
âWhy?â
âThe doctor said that our bond is too deep. My presence will affect her.â
âNo way.â
Kirk looked up at him.
Adrian said hesitantly, â⦠So, youâre saying that Caroline has been affected by this before?â
Kirk opened a bottle of wine and said despondently, âYeah.â
âIs it serious?â
âYeah.â
âSo her condition is bad enough when she doesnât see you. But itâll be worse if she does.â Adrian sympathized with Kirkâs dilemma.
âThen, what are you going to do? Are you planning not to see her for the rest of your life?â
âNot unless she can remember me herself. Otherwise, thereâs no way â¦â
âYouâre utterly miserable,â Adrian blurted out.
Kirk glanced at him and quipped, âYouâre awful at comforting people.â
Adrian was dumbfounded. Then, he said seriously, âWhat about Eddy and Caroline? Are you just going to let her marry that bastard?â
