“Yes, it’s proven,” Caroline said cautiously. “They will be punished, Paige. Are you coming back?” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Paige hesitated. “Alex, he…”

“He went to the Millers this early morning to confront them, and Evan helped call the cops, too. Alex is suffering, Paige. In just a few days, he looks so much older. Are you sure you don’t want to call him?” Caroline asked.

Downcast, Paige said, “This illness can’t be cured, Carol.”

“Don’t give up, Paige. There must be ways to control it. We’re all waiting for you.”

Paige forced a smile. “No, I won’t give up, but… Did I do anything wrong? Did Azure get jealous because I was dating Alex? My child…”

Sobbing, Paige continued. “My child was innocent. I can’t sleep, Carol. I’ll see my child the moment I close my eyes. He’s a pool of blood. He blamed me in my dreams and asked why I aborted him cruelly. Why didn’t I protect him well…”

Upon hearing that, Caroline’s eyes turned red. “Paige…”

“I can’t go back,” Paige cried. “I can’t accept myself even if Alex can.”

Hurriedly, Caroline said, “Don’t do anything stupid, Paige!”

“No, I won’t…” Paige couldn’t hold back her tears. “I’ll be okay because I want to see Azure and Danielle be sentenced!”

Caroline was still worried. After thinking about it, she decided to visit Paige since there was nothing urgent recently.

“Which country are you in, Paige?” Caroline asked. “I would like to go and be with you.”

“Aren’t you going to get engaged to Mr. Jordan soon, Carol?” Paige gradually stopped crying. “Kenny told me.”

“Yeah, it’s three days later.”

“Well, don’t bother then.” Palge forced a smile. “You must be happy, Carol.”

“Do you think I’ll be happy since my best friend isn’t around?”

“When you get married…” Paige kept her forced smile. “I’ll come and be your maid of honor when you get

Since Caroline failed to persuade Paige, she gave in. “Okay, you promised.”

“Yes, I promised.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Paige hung up the call.

After a brief trance, Caroline was about to dive back to work, but Greta called her.

“Are you free this afternoon, Carol?” Greta asked.

Caroline was stunned, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s your engagement three days from now.” Greta smiled and remarked. “We’re going to try on gowns this afternoon. I’ll ask Yulia to join us.”

Amused, Caroline said, “It’s too fast, isn’t it, Aunt Greta? In this aspect, I-”

Greta interrupted, “Oh, Carol, we can never be careless in our marriages.”

After a short hesitation, Caroline gave in. “Okay, what time should we meet this afternoon?”

“At 2:00 p.m.,” Greta answered. “I’ll text you the address of the gown shop later.”

“Sure.”

After hanging up the call, Caroline recalled that Evan might also need to pick a suit. Hence, she texted her.

Caroline: [I’m going to try on gowns with Aunt Greta this afternoon. Would you like to join us?]

Evan had just woken up and received a call. After that, he saw Caroline’s text.

Smiling, he texted her back.

Evan: [Are you that impatient to marry me?]

His words made her blush.

Caroline: [No, I’m not. It’s Aunt Greta…]

Evan: [You don’t have to go to the shop. I’ll get the fashion department to deliver the gowns to Bayview Villa. You guys can try them out at home.
