Chapter 321 She Deserves It!
Eric was sleeping next to her with one hand on her stomach when Caroline was up. They looked very intimate.
Caroline was in pain the moment she turned on the bed. She knew that was something coming after sex. But her mind went blank no matter how hard she had tried to remember that part as if she was trying to block the awkward memory.
It’s weird. How come she didn’t remember anything?
Caroline asked when she found Eric awake, “How come I forgot everything?”
Eric offered her a sour look. “Caroline, I’m really sad. I’ve been working so hard the whole night and you moaned so happily. You were enjoying it. How come you tell me you forget everything?”
Perhaps Eric’s acting was so great that it drilled out Caroline’s guilt.
She said sheepishly, “Maybe I have a bad memory.”
Caroline tried harder to recall, but she only remembered someone holding her hip, poking hard between her legs.
Eric’s expression softened and he sat up. Caroline didn’t doubt her memory at all when she saw a few fresh scratch marks on his back.
Eric handed Caroline her phone in full dress. “Your brother called when you were asleep. I think you should call him back.”
Eric didn’t mention their conversation and the fight between Julian and him.
He added bleakly when Caroline took the phone, “Your brother seems to have an issue with me. Just don’t fight over me. He’s your brother.”
Caroline disliked Julian, and Eric made this was worse.
“Did he do anything to you? Did he scold you or humiliate you?” Caroline snapped through clenched teeth. “He really thinks he’s the boss because he’s in charge of the Farrell family and he always meddles with my decisions?”
As Caroline spoke, she dialed Julian’s number. She sat on the bed with one hand resting on her hip as if there was going to be a big fight.
Eric felt smug when watching it coming.
Sibling rivalry? What a good show! How could he miss it?
But Emelia picked up the phone and then her annoying voice lowered to whisper. “Your brother is asleep. What’s the matter?”
Caroline hated Emelia’s guts. Driven by wild rage, she yelled, “Who do you think you are? Who told you to pick up my brother’s call?”
Emelia was silent for a moment before he said sternly, “Caroline, you’re so dead. And you know what, I won’t cry for you at your funeral.”
Then, Emelia hung up, leaving Caroline to tremble in anger.
Out of anger, Caroline dialed it back, but Emelia had turned off Julian’s phone. Caroline vented it out on her phone by chucking it out.
“Bitch, bitch, you fucking bitch!” Caroline cursed.
Caroline thought Emelia had gone way too far!
But she had no idea she was with a demon who could take her life at any time. Emelia wanted to warn her before it was too late.
Unfortunately, Caroline never listened to Emelia. Instead, she took Emelia as a bully.
Eric picked up her phone and comforted her, “Why are you so mad? It’s not worth smashing a phone for it.”
Caroline roared, “I hate her. Why is she still alive?”
Eric wrapped his hand around her shoulder. “Hey, relax. Let’s go grab some food. I made dinner for you.”
Eric kept Caroline down with gentle comfort.
This was Caroline’s way of doing things. She hated people forcing or pushing her, so she wouldn’t listen to those people, for example, her brother, Julian.
Julian was mean and condescending to Caroline since Emelia returned, so Caroline was too infuriated to listen to Julian.
Revenge on Julian and Emelia filled Caroline’s mind. She would never do what they told her to do.
Julian had just fallen asleep when Caroline called. Emelia had his rest schedule in control since Julian got a headache. Under Emelia’s watch, he had to take a nap at noon and rest early at night.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Emelia didn’t want to take Caroline’s call.
But she was afraid that Eric might do something bad to Caroline. What if it was an emergency call? She couldn’t put Caroline’s life at stake.
For a moment of hesitation, Emelia picked up the call outside the ward, but she didn’t expect to be scolded by Caroline. Emelia felt sad because the woman she just worried about was yelling at her.
She shouldn’t show any sympathy for Caroline because she didn’t deserve it.
She asked for her death!
That was why Emelia said something harsh to Caroline in that situation. She hoped that could get Caroline out of her confusion, but she gave up as she thought of Yvonne, who was manipulated by Eric. Even Yvonne got caught in his trap, so how would Caroline escape?
She could do nothing but pray for Caroline’s safety.
Emelia was leaning against a wall with puffy eyes, holding a phone when Grandpa Hughes walked along the corridor with the housekeeper.
Grandpa Hughes noticed Emelia’s sadness and trotted to ask, “What happened? Why are you outside alone?”
Emelia pulled herself together when she saw Grandpa Hughes. “I’m fine, Grandpa. What brings you here?”
Grandpa Hughes shifted to a deep voice, “Julian’s father needs me now.”
He then continued, “Is Julian sleeping?”
Otherwise, Emelia wouldn’t leave the ward.
Emelia nodded. “Just fell asleep.”
Grandpa Hughes said, “Then let him rest. Let’s chat in the Hudgens kid’s office.”
“Okay,” Emelia followed Grandpa Hughes to Arthur’s office.
Grandpa Hughes asked Emelia what had happened outside the ward, and she had no choice but to tell Grandpa Hughes the truth.
Grandpa Hughes heavily tapped his walking stick on the floor, “I shouldn’t have tried to save her. She deserves it!”
Grandpa Hughes was irritated by Caroline’s rudeness.
