“How is he now?” Neil asked.
The doctor said, “He fell asleep after receiving intravenous fluid. He likely won’t leave the hospital. Spend time with him.”
Caroline pulled away from Neil, her gaze distant.
Neil nodded at the doctor, who then left.
Caroline said hoarsely, “Go back to the Xander Group, Neil.”
“Carol?” Neil looked surprised
Wiping her tears, Caroline continued. “I don’t want him haunting my dreams when he’s gone.”
Neil lowered his gaze. “Maybe I acted too impulsively.”
“I know you want him to apologize to me, but he’d rather die than apologize due to his pride, Caroline said.
“Your personality is just like our mothers. She used to be stubborn, too.” Neil gently caressed Caroline’s hair.
Downstairs, Yuliana disguised herself as a nurse and strolled through the corridor. She glanced at Scott’s clinic as she walked by.
A passing nurse looked at her in astonishment. “Are you new here?”
Yuliana stopped and replied with a smile, “I’m starting at another clinic tomorrow, so I’m here today to get familiar with the hospital.”
The nurse reminded her, “Don’t hang around in your uniform.”
“Of course. I’ll change out of it shortly, Yuliana assured.
The nurse left after giving her a curious look. Yuliana followed Scott to the cafeteria at noon.
Upon observation, Yuliana didn’t notice anything unusual about Scott.
She texted Nell.
Yuliana: [Neil, nothing seems out of the ordinary with this person!]
Neil was troubled by Yuliana’s information.
Neil: [Wait for him to finish work]
Yuliana: [I did that last night. He went straight home.]
Neil frowned.
Neil: [Did you find anything else?]
Yuliana: [No! Rest assured, I’m on it.]
Nell: [Don’t get too close]
Yuliana: [I know. I have to get back to work now.]
Outside the hospital.
Neil took Caroline to lunch. He ordered her favorite food, but she hardly touched it, just two bites. She
sipped water and asked, “Neil, any progress with our father’s case?”
The question took aback Neil. “Eat first, Carol.”
Caroline sensed something amiss. “Do you already know something. Neil?”
“Please, eat. I won’t talk unless you do,” Neil urged. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Caroline forced down two more bites.
Observing her loss of appetite, Neil sighed. “Carol, does Evan mean a lot to you?”
Caroline replied, “Maybe.”
Neil looked at her closely. “Not many people knew about the bidding back then. But it was his father who
pressured and convinced them to back out of the bid. Our father wasn’t easily swayed, so…”
“He killed our father?” Caroline asked.
Neil remained silent.
“My feelings for Evan don’t matter. If his father is the murderer, there’s no future for us,” Caroline said.
“Carol, this has nothing to do with Evan. He’s unaware of it,” Nell clarified.
“But it doesn’t change the fact that his father is the killer. You don’t need to try persuading me anymore,
