    Chapter 593 Almost Mardi Gras


    “Could Danie have given me a disease because she’s not clean? Casey thought as he dialed


    Danie’s


    number.


    At Xander Residence


    When Danie received Casey’s call, she had just entered her room after dinner. She said gently,


    “Casey.”


    Casey asked in a rather cold tone, “Have you been sicktely, E?”


    Danie was stunned and replied, “No, Casey. Have you?”


    Worried, Danie wondered if Casey had transmitted his illness to her.


    Casey’s tone softened as he said, “It’s alright that you don’t have it. I’ll be staying at Jordan Residence


    for


    a while. We can stay in touch over the phone.”


    Danie replied, “Sure.”


    After they hung up, Danie quickly undressed to inspect her body, fearing the worst. She didn’t find

    anything unusual.


    She thought, ‘If Casey has a disease, my life will be ruined. I can’t rely too much on anyone. I must


    control


    both Casey and Evan.‘


    Danie’s phone rang just as she was about to take a shower. It was Evan calling, and she answered


    eagerly.


    Evan’s voice came through immediately. “Let’s terminate the contract.”


    Danie’s smile vanished. She wondered if this was rted to her situation with Caroline. She decided


    not to be manipted and asked, “My actions weren’t satisfactory, were they?”


    Evan said, “That’s not the reason. I need to end the contract, and I’llpensate you for the penalty.”


    He


    hung up promptly.


    Danie’s anger distorted her expression as she thought, It’s time to take action.”


    She dialed a number, and someone picked up. “You mentioned an effective herb for post–surgery


    leukemia. Where can I get it?” she asked.


    A weekter, Caroline went to the hospital with Paige to have her sutures removed.

    Paige, who was driving,ined, “Where’s Casey? He’s supposed to be at thepany, but he’s


    been


    missing for days.”


    Caroline hadn’t been in touch with Casey during this time and replied, “I have no idea. Let’s not talk


    about


    him; it’s giving me a headache.”


    Paige yawned and said, “Alright. Speaking of which, how are things between you and Evan now?”


    Caroline looked outside and answered, “We haven’t been in touch. He visited me when I had a fever,


    but i


    haven’t heard from him since. I think he’s busy.”


    Paige said, “He went on a business trip. I thought he’d still keep in touch.”


    Changing the topic, Caroline asked, “Mardi Gras ising up. Will your parents be traveling this year?”


    Paige replied, “Yes, you must take me in.” She gave Caroline a pitiful look.


    Caroline reassured, “Don’t worry. You’ve spent Mardi Gras with me for years.”


    Paige added, “Right. It’s almost time to deal with Danie’s situation, isn’t it? Mardi Gras is just around


    the


    Caroline nodded with a solemn expression. “It’s next week. Are you free in the afternoon? Come with


    me.”


    Paige asked, “Where to?”


    Caroline had lunch with Paige after her suture removal. Then, Paige followed Caroline’s directions for a


    two–hour drive to an old residential area.


    Paige looked at the aging neighborhood ahead andmented, “Are you sure this is where the


    journalist


    connected to Danie used to live? It looks like a retirementmunity.”
