Chapter 96

Half an hour later, Kirk received a call from Sean.

“Were you in a meeting just now?” Sean asked, and Kirk could hear him burp from the other end of the

line.

*Eddy called and spoke to me about sourcing a kidney for him. Didn’t you say that you wanted to stop

the search? Why are you starting it again?”

Kirk was still simmering with rage, so his voice was dangerously low. “It’s your business.”

“No way.” Sean refused it right away.

“I told you before that his lover’s medical condition is strange. I was glad when you told me to stop our

search. If I had to carry on with it. I’d have to go through her reports again,” he complained. “You’d

better give me an answer. Are we doing it or not?”

Instead of replying. Kirk ended the call. That made Sean realize that they weren’t going to do it after all.

No more than five minutes later, Eddy called Sean again.

Taking out Layla’s medical report, Sean started his plan to find a reasonable excuse to refuse Eddy’s

request. However, one of the charts in her report caught his attention.

The chart showed the data of an integrated blood pressure test for a whole year.

Layla’s blood pressure was low for the first few months, but it was normal for a few days during that

period. After that, her blood pressure dropped again.

It would have been barely noticeable if Sean hadn’t been paying enough attention while going through

the pile of data presented.

Logically speaking, low blood pressure was one of the many symptoms of kidney failure. It was unlikely

that her blood pressure would soar into the average range so suddenly.

Sean decided not to answer Eddy’s call.

Instead, he called the Chief Director of the Morrisons‘ private hospital. “Mr. Fisher, can you please send

me a copy of Layla Evans‘ files after she was hospitalized? Send me the recent ones too.”

It didn’t take long for Mr. Fisher to send Sean all the related data.

Sean started working on extracting the data for that particular period of time and discovered that the

other values for the tests were within the normal range.

Now, that was odd.

After making sure that nothing was wrong with her latest draft, Caroline finally sent it to the design

contest’s committee.

She found that she felt empty inside after she’d sent her submission. For the past few days, she’d been

so focused on her design that she hadn’t had any time to think about what had happened between Kirk

and Brie.

Time had flown by, and Caroline had too much time on her hands now. She didn’t know what to do, and

her mind began to cloud with thoughts. Eventually, she called Gwen to invite her out.

It was Sunday, so it was crowded everywhere they went.

Gwen suggested, “I’ve heard of a Faladorian restaurant that Just opened recently. Should we go

there?”

Caroline didn’t oppose the idea. Her goal was to keep herself occupled with just about anything.

The restaurant was on the other side of the city. It’d be troublesome If they were to drive there, so they

took the subway and hailed a cab when they were closer to their destination.

Alter 15 minutes, Caroline and Gwen got off the car halfway up the hill and were greeted with the sight

of the fancy Faladorian restaurant. They entered the restaurant and found that it had a rather pleasant

and peaceful ambiance.

Gwen was about to respond when a man’s voice sounded from behind them.

“It’s our honor to have you here, Ms. Collins.”

Gwen’s hand subconsciously reached out to lug at Caroline’s sleeve. The look in her eyes sald,

“Surely, this can’t be a coincidence?”

Caroline felt herself freeze involuntarily at the sight of Brie. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess now.

While Caroline was still in a daze, Brie had already walked toward them. She had already spotted

Caroline when she’d entered the restaurant.

Although Brie had managed to force Caroline to leave the office by pissing her off that night, she’d

nearly lost her finger because of it.

Now, she’d lost the courage to go and meet Eddy’s second uncle. Caroline was the reason for this, and

Brie couldn’t help but become all sarcastic when she saw her.

“Oh? Isn’t this Miss Evans? Are you here to seduce some men again?”

“Mind your words,” Gwen warned, “or I’ll slap you until your lips swell.”

Caroline took Gwen’s hands in hers and stated, “There’s no use in talking to a dog. It can’t understand

human language.”

This infuriated Brie. She seethed in anger but failed to come up with anything to retaliate.

In the end, she turned to face the owner of the restaurant and demanded, “Mister, are you sure you

want to serve such rude and unruly

customers like the two of them?”

The owner of this place was the father of one of Brie’s friends. He’d
