    Caroline answered, “I heard that Eddy’s been admitted to the hospital. What happened?”


    Simon regarded Caroline’s expression. It didn’t seem fake. He asked inquiringly, “Don’t you know,


    miss?”


    Caroline found Simon’s question quite interesting. “Should I know about it?”


    “Ah, that’s not what I meant. It’s just that the news of Mr. Eddy’s hospitalization has been spread


    far and wide. I just find it curious that you don’t know about it, Ms. Evans.”


    Caroline replied, “Maybe it’s because I’ve been so sad since Grandpa passed away a few days ago.


    That’s why I haven’t been paying attention to it.”


    Simon looked at Caroline and found himself at a loss for words for a moment.


    He had encountered a lot of people in his life, and Caroline was someone he had watched grow up.


    Thus, he considered himself someone who knew Caroline very well. She wasn’t someone who


    would lie.


    That meant that she really had no clue about what had happened that night.


    Simon wanted to keep asking further, but they had alreadye to Jude’s coffin.


    Seeing Jude’s face, Simon suddenly remembered his spection from before that Jude’s death might


    not be as simple as it seemed. With that, he stopped asking Caroline further questions.


    Sometimes, knowing less allowed for a longer life.


    “What else hasn’t been arranged yet?”


    “The location of the grave. We’ve already agreed with the priest on a time for the burial.


    “Since Mr. Eddy’s hospitalization, I haven’t been able to handle some household tasks. The

    funeral’s the day after tomorrow, but we don’t even have the simplest menu set.”


    These matters should have been handled by thedy of the house. However, Thomas‘ wife had


    long ago left the country after their divorce.


    As for Jude’s death, she had only sent a short text expressing condolences and nothing else.

    Meanwhile, Eddy hadn’t married yet. This was why it was said that not having ady of the house really


    made things impossible.


    “Leave it to me.” The second Caroline said that the re of a car horn came from the outside.


    Not long after, Eddy limped inside with the aid of a pair of crutches.


    “You’re here.” Although he wanted badly to hide the joy in his eyes, the smile on his face still gave him


    away.


    Caroline frowned as she looked at Eddy. “What happened to your leg?”


    “It’s nothing serious.” Eddy walked forward to stand before Caroline. “I thought you wouldn’te


    over.”


    “Why?” Caroline asked in curiosity.


    Eddy opened his mouth. After a second, he realized that he had never spoken to Caroline so


    calmly before. “I … um…”


    Even though Caroline waited patiently for a long while, he still wasn’t able to say anything


    substantial.


    Thus, she said, “Since I’m here, I’ll get to work. As for you… Shouldn’t you head back to the


    hospital first?”


    Eddy said, “No, there’s no need. Actually, my leg’s nearly all better. My stay at the hospital these


    few days has been dying things here. We’d better get started.”


    As he spoke, Eddy turned to look at Simon. He started, “Mr. Zellen, hurry and make a list of all the


    things that still need to be done.”


    “Yes, sir.” Simon was a very shrewd person. He used this opportunity to leave quickly.


    Simon’s departure made Caroline feel ufortable. She could only look around to distract


    herself. However, her gaze keptnding on Eddy, beyond her control.


    The more she looked, the more Caroline found something amiss.


    Her body angled forward slightly, getting closer to Eddy.


    With that, Eddy’s heart started pounding to the point of exploding. He stuttered when he spoke. “W


    -what is it?”
