    Chapter 842


    After Michael left, Kirk slowly crouched down. He gently brushed aside some strands of Caroline’s hair


    that were damp from her tears.


    “Caroline, I’m here.”


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    His gentle voice was like the first rays of morning sunshine breaking through the darkness. His warm


    breathnded on her brows.


    Caroline’s eyshes stopped quivering. A momentter, she opened her eyes, like a person who had


    just


    surfaced from drowning.


    When she saw Kirk, Caroline’s eyes started to well up with tears again.


    “Mr. Y.”


    “It’s okay. It’s safe here,” Kirk whispered.


    Caroline lifted her head and looked at Kirk. After a few moments, her body stopped shaking. She bit


    her


    lip and slowly asked, “Where is that man? Who is he? Why did he …”


    She couldn’t finish her sentence, and her body started to tremble again.


    Kirk gently stopped her, saying, “Don’t worry, he’s already been arrested. As for the rest, you don’t


    need to


    think about it. I’ll… have someone look into it.”


    After hearing what Kirk said, Caroline finally felt a little less scared. That was when she realized that


    she was actually gripping Kirk’s sleeve.


    It wasn’t a big deal, but after she had found out that Kirk had someone else in his heart, she had been


    trying to avoid him. But now…


    She pulled her hand back. “I’m sorry, I …”


    Kirk looked down and saw her hand pulling away. He felt a sense of loss, as if something had been


    taken


    from him. He asked in a disappointed voice, “Why are you apologizing again?”


    Caroline took a step back and said, “Mr. Y, since your heart belongs to someone else, I think we


    should…


    just stop seeing each other.”


    Kirk was stunned.

    He had indeed said that he loved someone, but that person was her. Still, he couldn’t find it in himself


    to


    tell her.


    Kirk took a deep breath and said, “She… she won’t be a problem for us.”


    “How can it not affect us?”


    Caroline got a little angry. “Mr. Y, are you trying to y both sides of the fence?”


    Her question left Kirk speechless.


    As he fell silent, someone knocked on the door.


    Michael was at the door. Upon noticing that the color had returned to Caroline’s face, he turned to Kirk


    and asked, “Can I speak to you for a minute?”


    Kirk nced at Caroline and gave a slight nod. “Wait here for me. I’ll be back.”


    He felt a bit frustrated. Meanwhile, Caroline didn’t want to get involved with him, but she didn’t dare to


    run


    off now. So she nodded obediently.


    After getting a response, Kirk finally followed Michael out of the examination room.


    Kirk and Michael arrived at thetter’s student’s office. His student was out, so it was just the two of


    them there.


    After closing the door, Michael walked to the desk. He turned theputer on and stared at it for a


    while


    before finally looking up at Kirk.


    “Kirk, I have some good news and some bad news. What would you like to hear first?”


    Kirk’s temples were pounding. “Bad news.”


    “This incident was a big shock to the madam. She was already very insecure. She thought that meeting


    her old friend would be a step forward, but this sudden incident has affected that.”


    He continued, “Since she’s more insecure now than she has ever been before, it is likely that she will


    not


    leave herfort zone for a while/


    “What’s the good news?”


    Michael’s face finally broke into a smile when he mentioned the good news. “From what I’ve seen, it’s


    clear that the madam is very dependent on you. You can finally stay by her side!”


    Kirk had always wanted this.

    Michael thought that Kirk would be happy to hear this. But to his surprise, Kirk’s face fell.
