Chapter 888

Greta felt relief upon hearing Yuliana’s voice.

“Where are you, Yulia?” Greta asked.

Yuliana replied, “I’m on my way to the hospital, Mom. I followed someone earlier.”

Puzzled, Greta asked, “Who did you follow?”

“Scott. I saw him at the banquet hall. He left through a side door,” explained Yuliana.

“Scott?” Greta was stunned.

Neil quickly approached Greta and signaled for her to pass him the phone upon hearing Scott’s name.

Neil took the phone and asked, “Yulia, did you see Scott? Where was he?”

“At the banquet hall. However, I wasn’t near him, and a few people were standing at the exit by the side door. Those people appeared to be waiting for Scott, and I didn’t have the courage to approach them rashly,” Yuliana replied.

“Did you see their vehicle license plate before they left?” Neil asked.

“Yes. I’ll tell you when I get to the hospital.”

“Alright.”

As the call ended, the operating theater’s door opened. A nurse walked out and asked, “Who is the family of Caroline Shenton?”

“We all are! Nurse, how is Carol?” Greta said anxiously.

The nurse presented the consent form. “The two bullets were less than three centimeters away from her heart, but the removal has already been completed. The patient has lost too much blood, and we don’t have enough supply in our blood bank. We need your family members to undergo blood type matching for a blood transfusion.”

“I’ll do it. My blood type is a match for Carol.” Neil passed the phone back to Greta.

Thomas added, “Nurse, please test mine as well, I’m the child’s uncle.”

The nurse said, “Okay. Please follow me.”

Meanwhile, Evan arrived in Muricia and disembarked from the plane.

When he got into the car, he asked in agitation, “How is the situation back in Cheasia?”

“Please hold on, sir. I’ll check.” Reuben turned on his phone while speaking.

After checking online and finding no news, Reuben frowned in puzzlement. “Sir, there is no news from the country…”

Evan frowned. “Nothing on the trending page?”

“No, sir. In theory, the engagement cancellation should be a trending topic.”

Reuben was confused.

Evan said, “Call Alex.”

Reuben said, “Yes, sir.”

Reuben dialed Alex’s phone. After a long while, Alex picked up the call.

Reuben put the call on speaker and passed the phone to Evan.

Evan said in a deep voice, “Alex, what’s the situation with Caroline this evening?”

Alex inhaled deeply and said with feigned calmness, “What situation? Do you mean the engagement party?”

Evan said, “Yes.”

Alex said, “Ah, Caroline announced that you have traveled abroad to get her an engagement ring.

Caroline’s idea is pretty good, huh!”

“In that case, why isn’t there any coverage or reporting on that?” Evan asked.

“How do you still have the nerve to say that?! What happened to your company that you would abandon Caroline, huh?” Alex complained.

Evan said, “I will explain to you in detail when I’m back. Just tell me the situation first.”

Alex said, “Caroline is being considerate. She told the journalists not to report the situation and treated them to a feast.”

His remark cleared Evan’s confusion.

Evan thought, ‘Caroline is indeed capable of such actions. She chooses to block all information to the answer?‘

It felt suffocating yet heavy, making him agitated.

“Understood. I’ll call her,” said Evan.

“Tsk, tsk! Don’t call her. She’s not in a good mood. Let her calm down first,” Alex hastily stopped him.

Evan kept quiet. ‘I ended up disappointing her, didn’t I?‘
