Chapter 468: Out Of Danger

Caroline’s POV:

Charles was wheeled into the emergency room at once.With a heavy heart, I watched the door of the
emergency room close.Silently, I prayed for Charles’ safety.

‘Charles, you have to survive this.I still have a lot of things to say to you.What am I supposed to do if
you die?’

At long last, the Moores arrived.

Apprehension was written all over their faces.

"How is Charles doing? How did the car accident even happen?" Alice held my arm as tears ran down
her cheeks.

"Raina suddenly came out of nowhere and tried to run me and my kids over.Luckily, Charles pushed us
away, but he…"

I couldn’t finish my explanation, and I felt so sorry for what happened to Charles.I should be the one
lying inside the operating room.

Right now, it felt like my heart was being jabbed with thousands of sharp thorns, causing me an
insurmountable amount of pain.I had to bite my lip just to hold back my tears.

"Raina again? Why is she doing this to us? All we’ve ever shown her is kindness, and yet she keeps
trying to make our lives hell over and over!" Chloe said through gritted teeth.

I could see the hatred in her eyes.



"The police have arrested her already.Don’t worry about Charles.He’s going to be fine.He’s a fighter,
after all,"I replied, trying to alleviate their worries.

My eyes were locked on the door, and I couldn’t avert my gaze from it for even a second.I prayed to
God over and over, hoping that he would be kind enough to grant my wish.But the longer the operation
dragged on, the more anxious I became.

At this time, the door of the operating room was opened.

Soon, the doctor came out.I sprang to my feet and approached him hurriedly.

"Doctor, is Charles okay?"

Alice and the others also looked at the doctor with worried eyes.

"None of the patient’s vital organs got hit, and I’m glad to tell you that our operation was a success!"

Having heard the doctor’s response, I breathed a sigh of relief.

All the tears that I had been holding back finally burst forth.

Not long after, the medical staff wheeled Charles out.

He was lying flat on the bad; his face was deathly pale.I touched his face with my trembling fingers.

"Charles," I muttered.

His eyes were closed and his lips were trembling.

It seemed that he couldn’t utter a single word at the moment.

Seeing him at this fragile state broke my heart.



"The patient needs to rest," said the doctor.

Once we were at the ward, Charles fell into a deep sleep.I sat beside his bed, waiting until it was
midnight.

He was in a terrible state, and even his breathing was awfully faint.I held his hand as tight as I could,
thanking God for letting Charles survive.

It made me so glad that he was out of danger and had come back to me.

All of a sudden, my phone rang.

The moment I saw the caller ID, I didn’t have the courage to answer.

My dad kept on calling, but I couldn’t bring myself to answer his calls.I was well aware that he didn’t
want me to have anything to do with Charles again.But as I looked at the unconscious Charles, a bitter
smile formed on my lips.

He got injured because of me.It would be cruel of me to give him the cold shoulder.

"Caroline, you should go home.Otherwise, Edward will worry about you," Alice said in a soft voice.

Feeling like this was the obvious choice, I nodded and left the ward.

But before leaving, I said, "Alice, once Charles wakes up, please inform me right away."

"Sure, dear.Off you go," she replied.

Upon arriving at home, I saw my father.

He was visibly anxious.



"Caroline, I’ve been calling you so many times.Why weren’t you answering your phone?"

"Sorry, I didn’t notice my phone ringing."

I looked down, feeling guilty for lying.

"What is going on between you and Charles? Do you still wish to have that man in your life?"

Dad sounded like he was disappointed that I didn’t live up to his expectations.

"He saved my life.All I wanted to do now was to wait for him to wake up.With regards to everything
else, I have yet to , decide," I answered.

I Dad sighed and responded, "I really can’t do anything to sway you, can I?"

"Dad, as my father, you should try to understand me,"

II remarked, tugging on his sleeve.

"I just don’t get it, Caroline! Have you forgotten all the suffering you went through because of him? You
need to think this through!"

Having said that, he stormed away.Because of how he reacted, I felt really bad.I took out my phone,
wanting to rant my frustrations to someone.

Just as I tapped Nina’s phone number, I remembered that she was on a business trip.

Thus, I had to give up on the idea.

Just then, my phone rang.It was from Samantha.

"Hello?"



"Caroline, I just wanted to confirm when you’ll be available for your next therapy session.Do you have
an available schedule anytime soon?"

"I would like to come now!" I said immediately.

"Ah, great! I’ll arrange it right away.You can come over to my clinic whenever you’re ready," she replied.

"Okay."

After the phone call, my sadness gradually dissipated.

‘Samantha is so kind and considerate.She’s a friend worth keeping!’

Samantha’s POV:

The moment I heard that Charles had gotten injured, I almost rushed to the hospital.

However, I did my best to stop myself from being impulsive.

As I gritted my teeth and thought of how this happened because of Caroline, my hatred for her only
grew stronger.

‘If it weren’t for her, Charles wouldn’t have been injured!’ Annoyed, I lit a cigarette and took a deep
drag.

The white smoke formed in front of me.

Images of the first time I met Charles flashed through my mind.

And soon, I gradually calmed down.I took out the diamond ring from my pocket and put it on my finger.



This ring and the one on Charles’ finger were a pair.I lowered my head, hiding the affection and
madness in them.

‘Someday, I’m going to make Charles put a ring that only belonged to the two of us on my finger.And I
believe that day is coming soon!’
