Chapter 60

Eddy’s body shuddered violently with anger. He looked at Caroline as she stumbled away. Suddenly, he felt that the distance between them was getting larger. It felt like they were worlds apart.

He felt a strange sense of panic. Instinctively, he wanted to run after her.

“Eddy—“Layla’s voice made him stop. She rushed to push her wheelchair forward from where she’d hidden and listened to them.

Eddy turned around. He saw Layla’s swollen left cheek. It was then that he remembered he’d wanted to get back at Caroline for it.

“Sorry, I

Layla cut him off. It seemed like she was trying to hide something. “Eddy, can I Can I ask you for a favor?”

Eddy was feeling guilty for forgetting about getting justice for Layla. When he heard this, he nodded quickly. “Tell me.”

“Caroline said she wants to announce your marriage at the birthday banquet. She said it was a surprise for Grandpa.”

Eddy frowned. “What does she mean by that?”

Layla shook her head. There were tears in her eyes. “Most people won’t understand what she’s thinking. Maybe she finally sees how bad I have it.”

Thinking of Caroline saying that he didn’t deserve her, Eddy couldn’t agree with Layla,

Layla was pressing her nails into her flesh to force more tears down her face.

“So I hope you and Caroline can get married. I’ve already sworn that I’ll never marry you. Since my health is getting worse, I don’t think I will be able to live much longer. I only want to see you happy before I die.”

“Stop taking nonsense. I’ll never marry Caroline Evans!” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Layla finally relaxed when she saw the same hatred in Eddy’s eyes that she’d seen before. She said weakly. “No, you have to marry her. I’ll only rest in peace knowing that you and Caroline are together.”

“I won’t let you die” Eddy clutched Layla’s hand in his. After some struggling, he finally made a painful decision. “Okay, I’ll marry Caroline. But after we many, I’ll arrange your surgery immediately! I won’t wait for Uncle Kirk. I need you to live a healthy life!”

When Layla heard this, she finally relaxed completely. She smiled in satisfaction.

Caroline was dead for sure now!

In the banquet hall, Caroline had just taken a seat when Sarah came over.

Then, she dragged Caroline into a comer. There, she lamented, “Where did you go? I was looking all over for you!”

Caroline leaned on her good foot and supported herself on a chair. Pushing down the pain, she said, “I went out for some air.”

“It’s almost time. You have to go onstage and announce your marriage with Eddy soon!”

Caroline took a sharp look at Sarat. “And if I don’t?

Sarah’s expression changed. “Care, you promised us. If you don’t do it, we’ll be done for.”

Caroline didn’t get upset. Instead, she laughed. When she smiled, the glittering lights made her made– up face stunningly beautiful. “Did Layla teach you to threaten me?

Sarah was enraged by Caroline’s stare. “What threat? As your parents, we only want what’s best for you!”

Again with what was best for her. Caroline didn’t want to say anything more. She turned around and stumbled back over to her seat.

it was then that Sarah noticed Caroline’s injured foot. Yet since the announcement was coming soon, she went back to her seat too. She didn’t want more trouble. Instead, she waited excitedly for Caroline’s announcement.

Caroline sat next to Jude.

so long?”

All that had happened tonight flashed in Caroline’s mind like a reel. She was exhausted.

“Grandpa, do you remember when you asked me what reward I wanted?”

Jude answered. “Of course I do.”

Caroline smiled wider. She pushed herself up from her seat. “Grandpa, I want you to give your blessing.”

As she said this. Eddy was pushing Layla back into the room.

Jude’s gaze fell on Eddy. He frowned slightly but still smiled. He said, “Sure. What do you want me to give my blessing for?”
