    Danie panicked and looked doubtful as she clutched her phone tightly and stared at the door.


    She couldn’t let Casey be with Caroline. She doubted Casey’s feelings for Caroline, and that could put


    her in a dangerous position.


    Meanwhile, Caroline and Mary returned from the grocery store with fruits.


    As Caroline headed back to the room, she noticed a familiar figure. Her steps halted, and her eyes


    widened in shock upon recognizing the person


    Approaching the person, she uttered, “Scott.”


    Scott was taken aback. He turned to face Caroline just momentster.

    Carolineposed herself and said, “Next time, please inform me in advance so I can…”


    Then, Caroline remembered she hadn’t fully recovered yet.


    Scott noticed Caroline in her patient gown and frowned. “Why are you in the hospital?”


    Caroline smiled bitterly. “It’s a long story. Many things happened during your absence.”

    Scott added self–mingly, “I wasn’t capable enough.”


    “It has nothing to do with you. I’ll prove my innocence myself, Caroline reassured him.


    Scott asked, “How do you n to do that?”


    Caroline smiled. “I haven’t figured it out yet. For now, I’ll take it one step at a time.”


    Even if she had a n, she wouldn’t disclose it to Scott. He was experiencing career growth, and


    she didn’t want to distract him.


    Scott ced his palm on Caroline’s cold hand, holding it gently. “Carol, I’ll be stronger so I can
