Gilbert raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Who's there?"
The door swung open, revealing Josie, Caroline's caregiver. "Mr. Harrison?"
"Josie, who's at the door..."
Caroline, sitting in her wheelchair, turned her head. She blinked in surprise when she saw Gilbert standing there.
"Gilbert, what brings you here?"
He let out a huff.
Gilbert strode in, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Don't you already know why I'm here?"
"Let me guess."
Caroline dropped the pretense, a faint smile on her face. "You and Sherilyn had a fight, didn't you?"
It was posed as a question, but her tone left no room for doubt.
"Caroline!"
Gilbert's face turned an alarming shade of red as he glared at her, shouting, "Why would you do this? What do you gain from it?"
"Hmm?"
Caroline paused, staring at him. "You're really upset? Why? Did Sherilyn...want to break up with you?"
"!"
"Aha." Caroline chuckled, "Looks like I hit the nail on the head!"
Straightening her back, she met Gilbert's furious gaze with a defiant glint in her eyes. "That's my gain, isn't it?"
She burst into laughter.
Her eyes glinted with a strange light. "You two can't be together, and that makes me so happy! Haha..."
"?"
Gilbert stared at her, utterly bewildered.
"Are you out of your mind? You messed up, and it was big brother who covered for you. Yet, instead of showing remorse, you deliberately provoked Sherilyn... have you lost it?"
"Yes!"
Caroline abruptly stopped laughing and fixed him with a piercing stare.
"I've lost it, thanks to you! You and Francis, you've both driven me insane!"
Her eyes brimmed with unshed tears.
"You ungrateful fools! Have you forgotten? I saved your lives! You two are supposed to revolve around me forever! Who gave you permission to love someone else?"
