Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 467

Charles's POV:

Richard and I were heading to Malibu Beach.

While I was watching her from a distance, I saw Raina get out of the car with her phone in her hand. She seemed to be on a call with someone.

She was fuming with anger. It seemed that she was in an argument with the person on the other end of the line. All of a sudden, she threw her phone on the ground.

At this moment, sirens blared from a distance.

Raina went as white as a sheet. Without wasting any second, she got into her car and sped away.

"Follow her. Don't let her get away," I ordered.

Richard nodded and followed my order.

Thirty minutes later, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach upon realizing something.

Raina seemed to be on the way to Moore mansion.

My heart sank. With that, I called Mom and Caroline right away.

However, both of them did not answer the phone.

A wave of panic washed over me.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. I called Chloe. Thankfully, she answered my call after a few rings.

"Charles?"

"Chloe, where are Mom and Caroline? They're not answering my calls," I asked anxiously.

"They went to pick up the cake with the kids. Maybe they just didn't hear their phones ring."

"I see. By the way, Raina might go to our house. If you see her, call me right away."

"Okay."

I hung up the call and turned to Richard. "Take a shortcut to the Moore mansion."

Whatever Raina was planning on doing, I would never let her succeed.

I clenched my fists unconsciously as anxiety surged through me.

We arrived at the Moore mansion a few minutes later. There I saw Caroline and the kids walking toward the house not far away.

She was holding a cake in one hand and Jerry in the other.

I watched as she lowered her gaze and said something to Jerry.

I could not hear what she said, but I could see that she was beaming with happiness.

Her smile made me feel warm all over.

As I stared at her, I caught myself smiling like an idiot.

I had not seen her smile that brightly for a long time.

Everything was getting better at last.

Things could not go wrong, could it?

With that, I got out of the car and welcomed my family.

"Caroline..."

Caroline fell stunned when she saw me. But once she got ahold of herself, she smiled and asked, "Shouldn't you be at work?"

"I left something at home," I reasoned out.

Caroline nodded and did not ask anything more. "Daddy, we went out to buy a cake! We're going to make up for Mommy's birthday!" James said excitedly.

I ruffled his hair and praised him. "You're so thoughtful. Yes, we really should celebrate Mommy's birthday in turns."

Caroline's face turned beet red, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.

I could not help but chuckle at how charming she was.

I reached out to take the cake from her. But then, the warm scene came to an abrupt end as a car came rushing towards Caroline and the children. My eyes widened in shock.

"Watch out, Caroline!" I yelled instinctively.

Without thinking, I pushed Caroline and the children out of the way. So, instead of the car hitting them, it hit me.

My body was in excruciating pain. And due to the impact, I felt like my body flew in the air like a ragdoll.

When I hit the ground, I rolled several times before stopping.

The birthday cake lay on the ground, mushed and stained with blood.

My ears were ringing, and I lost my bearings. I

must have been hit pretty badly.

And when I took a breath, I could smell blood dripping from my nose.

"Caroline..." I whispered in a low and raspy voice.

Caroline rushed to my aid, her eyes red and full of worry.
