Chapter 886 Don’t Leave Me

Caroline’s gaze drifted away gradually, and Neil’s words became distant echoes.

“Mommy!” Liora’s heart–wrenching cries resonated. “Mommy! Don’t leave me, Mommy!”

Caroline’s eyes teared up.

The wind carried Liora’s cries to her ears.

Caroline pondered, ‘Why would I leave the children behind? I won’t. I’ll wait for Evan’s return and witness the children grow old. I’ll hold on.”

A man at a corner massaged his temples after witnessing the earlier scene. He thought, ‘Why did I panic when I saw her being shot?‘

An uneasy feeling gripped him as if something slipped out of his control.

He reassured himself he wouldn’t feel this way again–it was time to part ways.

He looked away, turned, and left.

Meanwhile, Yuliana spotted a familiar figure in a corner of the banquet hall. She took two glances and hurriedly chased after the figure as if recalling something.

Neil called Kenny on his way to the hospital after leaving with Caroline. He instructed Kenny to strictly follow Caroline’s wishes and ensure that all media outlets block news of tonight’s incident.

Kenny took on the task. After settling everything and completing records with the police, he joined Thomas, Greta, and the children.

Thomas and Greta comforted the concerned children.

Approaching Kenny, Alex, and Lucas, Greta said, “Kenny, Tom and I plan to check on Carol at the hospital.”

Kenny’s expression was solemn. “Let’s go together. Things here are almost settled, and someone will take over for me.”

Thomas and Greta nodded and left with the children.

Kenny, Lucas, and Alex walked outside.

Alex said, “Lucas, inform Evan about the incident.”

“Ah, sure-”

“No!” Lucas accepted the task, but Kenny interrupted coldly. “Caroline insisted that Evan must not be informed about this!”

Alex said angrily, “So, are we going to hide it from Evan?”

Lucas said, “This isn’t fair for Evan! Moreover, there’s no telling if Caroline will make it now. Do you want to hide it from Evan?”

Kenny lost his temper. “Why did Caroline bear all this alone if not to let Evan focus on his work abroad?

If you tell Evan now, he will rush back. Any issues with the company will undermine everything Caroline has done tonight!”

Alex and Lucas kept quiet.

Tears welled up in Kenny’s eyes. “I hope you can put yourself in Caroline’s shoes and think about this!

Please respect her decision, too!”

Lucas sighed. “Even if we agree, Evan will panic when he can’t reach her.”

Alex said, “How long do you intend for us to hide it from him? Caroline has been shot twice. If she can’t make it tonight, are you planning on telling Evan?”

“Shut the fuck up! She is going to make it!” Kenny was furious.

Lucas said, “Calm down, Kenny. We’re just preparing for the worst!”

“If it is, I will use my life in exchange for hers!” Kenny turned and left in a rage.

Lucas told Alex, “What should we do then?”
