Susan's POV:
Although I knew that Adam was not reliable and that he had evil intentions, I had no choice but to hold onto him.
Suppressing the fear in my heart, I forced myself to answer calmly.
"As long as you work with us, we will make sure that you get whatever you want."
Adam narrowed his eyes at me as though he was contemplating whether I was worth his help or not.
Pretending to be confident, I said to Raina, "From now on, you have to find a way to monitor the Moore family."
Looking at her, I noticed the hesitation in her eyes, so I held her hand earnestly. "Raina, as long as you do this, I can help you deal with Caroline."
The very mention of Caroline's name irritated Raina, and she agreed immediately.
"Okay, I can ask Chloe for updates about the Moore family."
"But you need to be careful not to blow your cover, okay?" I warned.
"I get it."
"Three days later, I will let you know what you need to do next,"
I said to Raina before I turned to Adam.
I instantly softened my voice on purpose. "Adam, can you lend me some men? I will give you a great show."
However, Adam just looked at me coldly and did not say a word.
I was so nervous when I looked into his eyes, feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest at any moment.
Just when I thought that he was going to refuse, I noticed him grinning.
"Sure! I'm bored anyway. Susan, I just hope that you don't let me down."
Caroline's POV:
The bright sunlight was bathing me when I woke up.
Was it dusk already?
Had I really slept through the day?
I sat up in surprise, only to find that Charles was still holding my hand.
Seeing that, my heart skipped a beat.
I withdrew my hand at once.
I then turned around, but I could not see James in the ward.
I suddenly heard my phone vibrating faintly.
By the time I found it, Elena had already hung up.
That was when I saw the notification saying that I had twenty-three missed calls.
Recalling that I had muted my phone when I had arrived at the hospital, and had forgotten to inform Elena, I sent her a message in a hurry.
"I'll be home soon."
I put my phone away, and looked at Charles, who was lying on the bed.
He was still sleeping, and his face was slightly flushed.
I touched his forehead, only to find that it was a bit hot.
Although it had been a whole day, his fever had not reduced at all.
Frowning, I found an ice bag, wrapped it with a towel, and applied it to his forehead.
Looking at his delicate and handsome face, I remembered his murmuring.
I was not fast asleep at that time, and I woke up as soon as I heard his voice.
His apology and confession were sincere, and softened my heart at once.
I couldn't help biting my lip as I sniffled and felt tears in my eyes.
