Kirk finally nodded. “Okay.”
In that case, you should rest soon.”

Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night for Kirk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEarly the next day, Kirk got out of bed and called Sean.
Sean was still asleep. He said grumpily, “Come on, we don’t have to go so early. It’s only 6:00 am.
Don’t worry. Caroline won’t go anywhere.”
Kirk frowned at Sean’s words. “Hurry up and get out of bed. I’m going there now.”
Having no other choice, Sean got up from his bed. After getting into Kirk’s car, he couldn’t help
but complain.
“Kirk, I noticed you can never leave Caroline’s side. Tell me, will you go nuts if Caroline leaves you
one day?”
Kirk’s expression darkened at his words, and Sean felt his sleepiness fade away from fear.
Realizing that he had said something wrong, Sean hurriedly slapped himself.
“Kirk, don’t take my words to heart. There’s no way Caroline would leave you.”
Kirk gripped the steering wheel. “I hope so.”
Sean wanted to say something to comfort him, but when he saw his friend’s tense expression, he
couldn’t say anything.
Just then, a car drove past them. However, both of them were lost in their thoughts. So they didn’t
notice it.

for two days?”
Caroline tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.
“I’m sorry, Gwen. Something came up on Dr. Caldwell’s end, and he asked me to come over,
“Goodness. I can’t believe him. Why did he call you over all of a sudden?” Gwen frowned.
“Carol, there’s nothing wrong, right?”
“Of course.” Caroline smiled lightly.
“Maybe he called me over to discuss my treatment plans. It will be fine.”
“That’s good.” Gwen was finally relieved.
