“Is something wrong?” Kirk looked at her.

Caroline’s red lips parted. She was unsure how to explain but was afraid he would overthink things. “No. Let’s go.”

It had to be done sooner or later.

On the way over, she received a call from Eddy.

Upon seeing the flashing screen, Caroline’s expression froze. She was reminded of how she’d behaved in the past eight years—she used to be the one who called Eddy, asking about his day. But Eddy had never called her.

She wouldn’t have received an ounce of concern even if she were in the hospital undergoing surgery. But now, Eddy was calling Caroline for Layla’s sake.

There was no way Caroline could compare to Layla.

“Aren’t you going to take that?” Kirk looked out of the window. He had been resting his eyes.

Caroline looked at his perfect face. Although she couldn’t see his expression, she felt like he was annoyed.

She hesitated for a moment before finally picking up.

Before she could even speak, Eddy’s angry voice came from the speaker. “Caroline! Get the fuck to the hospital now! Do you know how many specialists are waiting? Do you know how bad Layla feels? How can you be so selfish? I’ve already agreed to fucking marry you. What else do you fucking want?”

Caroline smiled bitterly. Although she knew that Eddy didn’t like her, she never would have known how lowly he thought of her.

If that was the case …

“Don’t you know what I want?” Caroline’s gaze grew cold. “I want your love. Can you give it to me?”
