Chapter 705
Now, Gwen was shaking even more violently. She huddled in Sean’s embrace and said, “How is
this fair? How could Carol become embroiled in this when it was so difficult for her to escape the
Morrison family?”
Sean patted Gwen’s back gently and sighed soundlessly.
The rest of the night passed in silence, and none of them slept. Sean and Gwen didn’t leave,
keeping vigil in Caroline’s apartment.
The next day, when Caroline woke up and found her place filled with people, she was taken aback with shock. “Why are you guys here?”
Caroline didn’t have an inkling of what had happened last night at all.
