    Chapter 856


    “If this goes on, something will happen sooner orter. You’re smart, so you should know it better than I


    do.” After saying that, Betty gently patted Marietta’s shoulder. Then, she sighed softly and left.


    When Betty entered the room, she was surprised to see Sean standing by the window. She clutched


    her


    chest before eximing, “You scared me!”


    “How did it go?” Sean asked while looking out the window.


    “I don’t know. I have already shared my thoughts with her,” answered Betty. She stared at Marietta’s


    figure


    and couldn’t help but let out another sigh.


    “She used to be such an energetic person. Yet she has be haggard because of her daughter. I


    wonder if bringing her daughter back was the right choice.”


    Sean didn’t respond.


    Right then, they heard footstepsing from the stairs. They both turned around simultaneously and


    saw


    Caroline and Kirk descending from the second floor.


    Betty noticed Caroline’s hurried steps. “What’s wrong?” she inquired with concern.


    Just as Caroline was about to speak, Kirk stopped her by pulling her wrist. When he touched her hand,


    it


    sent a tingling sensation down her body. She instinctively wanted to shake off his hand.


    However, Kirk’s grasp was firm. No matter how hard Caroline tried, she couldn’t break free from his


    grip.


    “We’re going to the airport,” Kirk replied.


    Then, his gaze fell on Sean. “Sean, why don’t youe with me?”


    But Sean didn’t want to go. He wasn’t interested in bing the third wheel. “Why drag me along if


    you


    guys are going to the airport?”


    Kirk held onto Caroline and Sean, one on either side of him. “It doesn’t matter. You’re stilling with


    me.


    As he spoke, he pushed both of them toward the door.


    A car was already waiting for them. Kirk shoved Sean into the passenger seat. Then, he opened the


    car


    door and looked at Caroline/


    She could still feel the warmth from Kirk’s touch on her wrist. As he stared at her intensely, Caroline


    could feel her cheeks turning red at that moment.

    “Get in,” Kirk instructed in a low and maic voice. She blushed when she heard his gentle tone.


    She had no choice but to hum in response and get into the car.


    In the car, Sean curiously asked again, “Who are you picking up at the airport? Why do I have toe


    along?”


    Only then did Caroline realize why Kirk had pulled her earlier. It turned out that he hadn’t wanted her to


    say anything. So this time, she remained silent.


    Soon, Kirk got into the car too. Sean couldn’t help but say, “You know my time is precious. Why did you


    insist that Ie along?”


    While talking, he curiously turned around to look at Kirk and Caroline. “Could it be that a medical


    genius hase to Macldo? Wait a minute. Are there any other doctors who are better than me?”


    Upon hearing what he said, Caroline smiled.


    “Otherwise, it’s the president. But even if it is, you can’t force me to pick him up,” Sean added.


    He bbered on, “When I meet himter, I must have a serious talk with him. What’s so great about


    being


    the president?

    “Even presidents from small countries have to respect me when they require my medical services.”


    Kirk pressed his temples before snapping, “Shut up!”


    As soon as those words came out of his mouth, the car fell into silence.
