    Kirk continued, “Carrie, you’re the kindest person in the world. All you want is a home of your


    own, but God has put up so many barriers between you and that tiny wish. Do you think you’re the one


    being selfish, or is it God who’s being cruel?”


    Caroline’s tears kept falling out of her control.


    “Kirk, stop talking…” If he kept going, Caroline would feel she didn’t deserve him even more, someone


    who understood her so well.


    Kirk gave a lightugh and tweaked Caroline’s nose. He waited until she stabilized her emotions before


    speaking, “Darling, next time, you should tell me if you have any problems. You should think about


    yourself more. You have to put yourself first, not me. Understand?”


    Caroline nodded.


    “Then would you … worry that I might leave you?” Caroline had never said this because she was


    worried Kirk might overthink it.


    “No.” Kirk kissed Caroline’s fingers. “We will never part.

    Finally, a smile appeared on Caroline’s face.


    “You talked about a psychiatrist…” Caroline wiped the tears from her face. “What’s that about?”


    “You need to undergo drug or physical treatment. Either of those would involve some measure of pain.”


    Each word Kirk said felt like a hammer swinging at his heart. “Darling


    This was thest thing he wanted for Caroline. That was why he’d always asked Michael to do his best


    to treat Caroline’s issues painlessly. Now, it seemed that his reluctance to hurt Caroline had


    caused her more suffering. It had made her condition worse.


    Even though there was a rational voice telling him that letting Caroline go through the treatment


    was the best way forward, he still couldn’t set his heart on that path. He couldn’t bear to her


    Caroline hurt.


    Caroline guessed what Kirk was worried about. Smiling, she said, “It’s alright. I’m willing to go


    through the treatment. As long as I don’t have to leave you, I can handle whatever painful


    treatment it is.”


    For all she knew, it might even lessen her feelings of having sinned.

    Kirk held onto Caroline’s hand tightly. The two of them looked at each other in silence. Neither of them


    spoke, but nothing needed to be said with words anymore.


    After a whole half–hour, Caroline remembered that there were people outside the bedroom door She


    wiped the tears on her face. “Kirk, Gwen and Sean are still outside Let’s let them in. We don’t


    want them to worry.”


    Kirk nodded. He got up to open the door.


    Seeing the door finally open, Gwen was the first to stride inside. She clutched Caroline’s hand and


    said, “Carrie …”


    Caroline smiled at her. “I’ve decided to seek treatment.”


    Hearing Caroline say this so calmly, Gwen felt her heart twist. Tears began to fall. “Carol…”


    “Don’t be like that. I’ll make it through this.”


    Caroline gave Gwen a big hug, making Gwen feel even worse inside. Sometimes, she felt Caroline was


    just too kind, like what had happened with Jude’s death.


    No one wanted such a tragedy to happen, and Howard was the one at fault. Yet, the person who had


    suffered the consequences was Caroline. What kind of divine justice was this?


    Gwen got angry the more she thought about it. She held Caroline even harder. In the end, Caroline


    had tofort Gwen instead.


    Seeing the two women hugging each other so tightly, Sean looked at Kirk, whose gaze was very


    grim. He patted Kirk’s shoulder and said, “Kirk, I have something to say to you.”


    As he said this, he headed out of the bedroom.


    Kirk shot another nce at Caroline before following him.
