Simon's POV:
Caroline was lying on the bed, unconscious.Her face was pale, and there was a bruise on her
forehead, caused by the collision.
Fortunately, the airbag activated.
Otherwise, her injury would've been far worse than this.
As I sat on the edge of the bed, I brushed my trembling fingers against her cheek.I suddenly regretted
what had happened.My hesitation almost caused irreparable harm to my beloved one.I was aware why
Adam asked Caroline out.
The Wilson Group was on its last legs.She wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.
Unless she agreed to Adam's suggestion, her only option was to declare bankruptcy.
And whichever result would come to pass, it wouldn't be a bad deal for Adam.
Based on my perception of Caroline, I was aware that she wouldn't give up so easily.She would never
agree to Adam's unreasonable request.
Thus, I was like a hunter hiding beneath the shadows and waiting for my prey to kill each other and
reap the rewards.I didn't have any other choice.I didn't care who Caroline would work with, but I
wouldn't allow her to be back in Charles’ arms.
‘Whatever Charles can give her, I can give it to her, too! Why does she keep giving him all her love?
Why can't she give me the chance that I deserve?’ I exclaimed inwardly.
I sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her beautiful face.
Then leaned over, intending to kiss her.
But before my lips could touch hers, I heard footsteps coming from behind.I immediately straightened
up, pursed my lips with displeasure, and stared at the nurse who just entered the room.
She was oblivious to the awkward atmosphere.She handed me a piece of paper and said, "We have to
run several tests on the patient first.Please, help me carry the patient to the stretcher bed."
I picked Caroline up and put her on the stretcher bed.I stared at the nurse wheeling the bed out,
hesitating for a long time until I eventually decided to go after her and grab the bed.
"Nurse, she is pregnant.Will the tests have any impact on her health? And the child's?"
The nurse turned around, visibly surprised.
She stomped her feet and asked, "Why didn't you say that earlier? Why didn't you tell us when the
doctor was here? Some of the tests aren't suitable for pregnant women! If she takes the tests rashly, it
could affect the health of the baby in her womb!"
"Sorry, I'm really anxious right now.I only just remembered it,"I answered.
"Wait here.I'll ask the doctor right away," the nurse said anxiously and then rushed to the doctor's
office.
I stood beside the stretcher bed, clenching my fists.
The veins on the back of my hand were practically pulsating.
Before Caroline passed out, she grabbed my arm and told me, "Take me to the hospital.I'm pregnant!"
‘Why did she tell me that she's pregnant? She didn't have to tell me, and I didn't want to know!’
Oh, how I wished that I didn't know about it.
If such were the case, I wouldn't have to go through this psychological torture.
As I stared at Caroline's face, a malicious idea came to my mind.
If I could make her believe that the baby wasn't healthy, then I might be able to manipulate her into
aborting the child.
Someday soon, I believed that Caroline and I could have a child that belonged to just the two of us.
And if she wanted it, we could have more kids.
I would treat her like a queen and give her all the best things this world could offer.And I would never
dream of hurting her just like Charles did.
After a while, the nurse came back with an examination list in hand.
"It's impossible to guarantee that all the tests won't have any influence on the fetus.The doctor has tried
to minimize the damage, but there's still a risk to the patient's situation."
"Is the risk under control?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
The nurse handed the new examination list to me with a stern expression.
"We're not sure yet, but the patient's health is of utmost importance.All we can do now is to try our
best."
Charles’ POV:
By the time I got off the plane, it was already morning.
Richard came to pick me up.
As soon as I got in the coe he handed his phone to me and wore a serious expression.
"Mr.Moore, ever since yesterday, all the media platforms have been reporting that you and Nevaeh are
going to get married.I've already sent some people to prevent this news from spreading out, but it
seems like my actions are useless."
I took the phone and was stunned by what I saw on the screen.
The news reported that I went to New York with Nevaeh to meet with her father, Zane.
The reports claimed that she and I entered the same hotel room, and there were photos of her coming
out of my hotel room wearing my shirt.
The headline of the news read, "The President of the Moore Group, Charles Moore was having a tryst
with the daughter of the Greem family.They spent a passionate night together."
Such deceitful words would certainly be able to bend the public's attention and it would spread like
wildfire on the Internet.
The public probably wouldn't care if this news was factual or not.
The only thing they'd care about was juicy rumors about the rich families behind these photos.
Some financial media outlets even provided an analysis of the Moore Group's future development on
account of the marriage between the two families.
"Have you found the source of the news? Do you think Adam is behind all of this?" I asked, clenching
the phone.
All of this was so coincidental.I didn't even have the chance to defend myself.
However, it was true that Nevaeh did enter my room and come out of it in my shirt.
In those reports, they didn't even bother the time difference between her entering my room and leaving
it, which had only been a few minutes.
They only wanted to make people see the fact that she had changed her clothes.
And to make matters worse, she was wearing my shirt when she came out of the room! I scoffed in
dismay.
I knew better than everybody else what Nevaeh was thinking.
If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to cooperate with Greem Investment, I certainly wouldn't have let
her anywhere near me! Based on my perception, Nevaeh didn't have that much power to cause this
much trouble.
No matter what she intended to do, it would all be in vain.
For that reason, I never paid her much mind.I had led myself to believe that she wouldn't be able to
affect me this much.
But to my surprise, someone used her to rouse public opinion and cause trouble for me.
Richard firmly replied, "I think Adam is behind this.
Besides, he and Simon have joined hands.
Our men saw them enter Golden State Club together and go into the same private room.
Simon stayed in there for a long time, but I'm not sure what they talked about."I massaged my temples
and gave Richard back his phone.
"Where's Caroline? Did you find her?" I exclaimed.
Visibly conflicted, Richard looked back at me and replied, "Sir, Simon has taken her to a hospital, but
we still don't know which hospital it is."
I was really worried about her safety.I kept wondering, ‘Is she seriously injured? How is the baby in her
womb? I pressed my lips together, feeling like my stomach was churning from anxiety.
The only thing I wanted right now was to go to her as soon as possible.
I never wanted her to get hurt again.
After a moment of silence, I ordered, "Richard, call Simon and ask him where Caroline is right now."
"Yes, sir.I'll do that right away," Richard replied.
"Hello? Who is it?" Simon asked over the phone.
I grabbed the phone from Richard's hand and asked, "Simon, where did you take Caroline? Where's
my wife?"
"She's at the St.Hill Hospital."
Having said the name of the hospital, Simon disconnected from the call.
"Richard, go to St.Hill Hospital at once." I threw his phone back at him.
How I wished I could see Caroline right away!
