Chapter 841
Bogus Billionaire
When Kirk carried Caroline out, he saw the group of Shadowers staring at him in disbelief, as if they had seen something amazing.
He frowned and said, âHurry up and drive! What are you waiting for?â
Anthony, the head of the Shadowers, was the first to take action. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and called for a car.
A black Santana soon arrived.
Kirk carried Caroline and quickly got into the car. He provided the driver with the address for Michaelâs studentâs clinic. âWe need to go there right away.â
The driver hesitated for a second before starting the car and driving.
On the way, he stared at Kirk from time to time. He was in disbelief when he saw how nervous Kirk was. He silently wondered if this was still the same Kirk he knew.
The car finally arrived at the psychology clinic.
Kirk carried Caroline into a room, where he ran into Michael.
Upon seeing Michael, Kirkâs face brightened up. He asked, âWhen did you return?â
âJust this morning,â Michael said.
When he saw how pale Caroline looked in Kirkâs arms, he frowned. âWhatâs going on?â
Kirk explained, âShe was assaulted and got a fright.â
Michael asked, âIs she hurt? If so, we need to get her to the hospital right away.â
âNo, Iâve already checked,â Kirk said urgently.
âYouâve come back just in time. Please take a look at her â¦â His biggest concern was that Caroline had. been traumatized, and he was worried whether it would have any lasting effects.
âI understand. Please wait here for a moment.â
Michael turned and called a few nurses, âPrepare a bed and take her to the examination room.â
The nurses immediately fetched a bed.
They were back in no time. âKirk, please lay her down on the bed.â
Kirk was just as enigmatic in Macldo as he was in Easton. These nurses had never seen Kirkâs face.
Since he was wearing a mask, they naturally had no way of knowing that the person before them was the renowned president of SY.
Kirk did as he was told and placed Caroline on the bed. That was when he noticed that Carolineâs hand was tightly gripping his shirt.
Her face was pale. Although her eyes were closed, her eyelashes fluttered slightly. She was still muttering in fear. Her hand gripped his shirt tightly, like it was her lifeline.
The nurse saw it too and tried to pull them apart. However, she found Caroline to be surprisingly strong, despite her small frame.
The nurse looked at Michael.
Seeing this, Michael said, âKirk, Iâm afraid we need you to come with us.â
Kirk was happy to be with Caroline, so he agreed without hesitation.
After the nurse wheeled the bed in, she left the examination room.
As soon as the door to the examination room closed, the nurses couldnât help but start chattering away.
âIâm so jealous. They must be married, right?â
âYeah, I think so too. The guy is so worried about his wife. You can tell heâs a great husband. Iâm so jealous of that woman. She has a man who loves her so much.â
âAnd from the way that man carries himself, you can tell he comes from a wealthy family. His clothes donât even have labels, so they must be custom-made. Even though heâs wearing a mask, I can tell heâs not bad-looking.â
âHeâs rich, loves his wife, and is handsome. Oh my God, this world is so unfair!â
The nurses were chatting happily outside the door, but the atmosphere in the examination room was anything but relaxed. In fact, the air was thick with tension.
Michael finished examining Caroline with a serious expression. He looked at Carolineâs hand, which was still clutching Kirkâs shirt.
Sighing, he said, âKirk, you should stay here with the madam. I think she trusts you the most right now.â
Kirk nodded in silence.
