Caroline looked up and spotted Bradley stumbling into the ward. His face was flushed from

alcohol.

Upon seeing Caroline, Bradley immediately wore a wide smile ‘Carol, there you are!”

However, Katie glared at him fiercely and spoke with anger, “What are you doing here? Leave!”

Caroline quickly stood up and tried to calm her mother. “Mom, please calm down. You shouldn’t

get upset after your surgery,”

Bradley pouted. “I’ll leave if you give me some money.”

Caroline looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad! Mom is still recovering. She can’t give you any

money!”

He glared at Caroline. “Your mom used your money to rest comfortably in the hospital. But what about

me? We don’t even have a home now, I’ve been sleeping on the streets. Do you even

understand what situation I’m in right now?”

Realizing he had misspoken, he abruptly fell silent. However, both Caroline and Katie had heard

his words.

Pale–faced, Katie pointed at Bradley. “What did you say? What happened to our house? What did you

do with it?”

Bradley seemed ready to confront everything. I used it to pay off my debts.”

Katie exclaimed, “How could you do something so despicable!”

He retorted, “It’s not your money!*

Caroline felt numb as she watched them argue. Her mind went blank.

Three years… She had been shouldering her father’s debt for three years.

All she wanted was to ensure that her mother would have a place to live in the future, but now it

was all gone.

Her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

“Why?” she whispered.

Amidst their argument, Bradley looked at her in frustration. “What?”

“Why do you always neglect Mom and me? You only care about yourself,” she questioned.

He replied, “If I didn’t care, why would I sell the house? I just wanted to repay the debt.”

“Repay the debt…” Caroline laughed bitterly. “Haven’t I helped you repay your debts? Have you ever

kept track of how much I’ve been paying for you over the years?

“Carol!”

Suddenly, Katie turned around, her eyes red. “Stop giving him a single penny from today onward!

He won’t care about us because he’s not… Mmph…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Bradley forcefully covered her mouth and shouted, “What the hell

did you say? Did I allow you to speak? Don’t forget what you promised me back then!”

Caroline immediately rushed forward to free Katie from Bradley’s grip. “Let go of Mom!”

He shoved Caroline away and glared fiercely at her. “And you! If you don’t give me any money from

now on, I’ll make your mom suffer!”

Unable to overpower Bradley, who was stronger than her, Caroline quickly took out her phone and

transferred 40 dollars to him.

There! I’ve given you the money. Can you let go of Mom now?” Caroline’s anxiety was evident, and

tears threatened to fall. 1

As Bradley heard his phone chime, he released Katie

Straightening his clothes, he left the ward with a satisfied expression.

Caroline hurriedly approached her mother. “Mom, how are you feeling?”

Tears streamed down Katie’s cheeks as she said, “Carol, I’ve wronged you. I’m useless.”

Caroline felt a deep sorrow for her mother and embraced her. “Mom, it’s okay. The most important

thing is that you’re safe.”

After comforting Katie, Caroline took a seat and pondered the situation. Eventually, she asked, Mom,

what were you going to say about Dad?”

Katie avoided eye contact. “He’s beyond reason.”

Caroline lowered her gaze. Was that all there was to it? If that were the case, why did he suddenly

attack Katie earlier?

However, seeing her mother’s exhausted appearance, Caroline decided not to inquire further.

When Caroline returned to Villa Rosa, Evan was already there. His suspicion grew when he noticed.

she was still wearing her gown. “Where did you go?” he asked.

She replied honestly, “I stopped by to see my mother.”

Just then, his phone rang, and walked away to answer it. “Got it. Ask them to put it under

Daniella’s name…”

As she watched his retreating figure, a sense of solemnity filled her eyes.

Was he buying a house for Daniella?

With a gloomy expression, she looked down. Of course, he would feel obligated to provide a better

living situation for the woman he loved. They would eventually marry, so there was no need for

her to be jealous.

Evan would never be hers.

She wiped away her tears and returned to her room, where she dug out the contract she had signed

with Evan years ago. It stipulated that he would provide her with a house and 2,800,000

dollars, é

Clicking on her chat log with Scott, she composed a message. [Doctor Wilson, given my Mom’s

current situation, when can she be discharged from the hospital?]

Scott promptly replied, [Your mother is resilient and recovering well. She should be discharged in

less than a month.]

Less than a month….

Caroline stared at the contract and clenched it tightly in her hand.

Once her mother’s treatment was complete, she would take her mother and leave Anglebay City. They

would find a fresh start in a place where they were unknown.

There, she would give birth to her child and begin anew.

Two days later, on a Wednesday night, Caroline had made up her mind to approach Evan in his study

and discuss the contract.

She opened the door and entered the room. Noticing that Evan was engrossed in his work with his

head lowered, she positioned herself at the side and patiently waited.

Sensing her presence, Evan glanced up and locked eyes with her, inquiring, “What’s the matter?”
