Farewell To My Endless Love

Charles's POV:

Richard and I were heading to Malibu Beach.

While I was watching her from a distance, I saw Raina get out of the car with her phone in her hand. She seemed to be on a call with someone.

She was fuming with anger. It seemed that she was in an argument with the person on the other end of the line. All of a sudden, she threw her phone on the ground. At this moment, sirens blared from a distance.

Raina went as white as a sheet. Without wasting any second, she got into her car and sped away.

"Follow her. Don't let her get away," I ordered.

Richard nodded and followed my order.

Thirty minutes later, I felt a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach upon realizing something.

Raina seemed to be on the way to Moore mansion.

My heart sank. With that, I called Mom and Caroline right away.

However, both of them did not answer the phone.

A wave of panic washed over me.

Suddenly, an idea popped into my mind. I called Chloe. Thankfully, she answered my call after a few rings. "Charles?"

"Chloe, where are Mom and Caroline? They're not answering my calls," I asked anxiously.

"They went to pick up the cake with the kids. Maybe they just didn't hear their phones ring."

"I see. By the way, Raina might go to our house. If you see her, call me right away."

"Okay."

I hung up the call and turned to Richard. "Take a shortcut to the Moore mansion."

Whatever Raina was planning on doing, I would never let her succeed.

I clenched my fists unconsciously as anxiety surged through me.

We arrived at the Moore mansion a few minutes later. There I saw Caroline and the kids walking toward the house not far away.

She was holding a cake in one hand and Jerry in the other.

I watched as she lowered her gaze and said something to Jerry.

I could not hear what she said, but I could see that she was beaming with happiness.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Her smile made me feel warm all over.

As I stared at her, I caught myself smiling like an idiot.

I had not seen her smile that brightly for a long time.

Everything was getting better at last.

Things could not go wrong, could it?

With that, I got out of the car and welcomed my family.

"Caroline..."

Caroline fell stunned when she saw me. But once she got ahold of herself, she smiled and asked, "Shouldn't you be at work?"

"I left something at home," I reasoned out.

Caroline nodded and did not ask anything more. "Daddy, we went out to buy a cake! We're going to make up for Mommy's birthday!" James said excitedly.

I ruffled his hair and praised him. "You're so thoughtful. Yes, we really should celebrate Mommy's birthday in turns."

Caroline's face turned beet red, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.

I could not help but chuckle at how charming she was.

I reached out to take the cake from her. But then, the warm scene came to an abrupt end as a car came rushing towards Caroline and the children. My eyes widened in shock. "Watch out, Caroline!" I yelled instinctively.

Without thinking, I pushed Caroline and the children out of the way. So, instead of the car hitting them, it hit me.

My body was in excruciating pain. And due to the impact, I felt like my body flew in the air like a ragdoll.

When I hit the ground, I rolled several times before stopping.

The birthday cake lay on the ground, mushed and stained with blood.

My ears were ringing, and I lost my bearings. I

must have been hit pretty badly.

And when I took a breath, I could smell blood dripping from my nose.

"Caroline..." I whispered in a low and raspy voice.

Caroline rushed to my aid, her eyes red and full of worry.

"Charles, can you hear me? Stay with me!"

"Caroline... did you and the kids get... hurt?" I asked weakly.

"We're fine! Why did you do that?! Why did you put yourself in harm's way?" Caroline sobbed.

Tears streamed down her cheeks one after another.

I mustered my remaining strength and reached out to wipe the tears off her face.

Her tears were hot, and they burned my palm and heart.

It pained me to see her like this.

My breathing became shallower and more labored by the minute.

"I... I didn't want you to get hurt."

Caroline's POV:

I held Charles in my tight embrace, shocked by the unexpected turn of events.

"Charles, I've called an ambulance. Stay with me."

His face was ghastly pale, and his lips were trembling slightly.

He leaned his head on my shoulder and whispered, "Caroline... I love you..."

"Don't talk. Conserve your energy! Damn it! What's taking the ambulance so long?"

My anxiety was getting the better of me.

"Caroline..." Charles uttered in a barely audible tone.

"I'm here."

"Can you give me... one more chance?"

"Let's talk about that when you get better."

My heart ached as I looked into Charles's pleading eyes.

I used to hate him so much that I even wished him to die.

But now, he was really dying.

I hoped he could survive this.

I wanted him to live long and happy.

Charles forced a smile and

reassured me, "I won't die. I still have to protect you for the rest of your life. But even if I do, you can only be mine. Don't cry, Caroline. You should only shed tears in bed as you beg for my mercy..."

I stared daggers at him. "How could you still joke around when you're bleeding out? I was so worried about you, but it seems that you're just fine."

Charles chuckled weakly. But then, it seemed that that was as far as his strength went as his eyes slowly closed.

At last, the ambulance had arrived.

The paramedics lifted Charles onto the stretcher and pushed him into the ambulance.

Meanwhile, Richard brought the driver, who had hit Charles, over.

It was Raina.

The police arrived at the scene not long after.

Richard handed Raina over to the police. Then, he jogged toward me with a grim look on his face. "Mrs. Moore, how is Mr. Moore?"

"I want you to take the kids back into house first. I'll go to the hospital with Charles in the ambulance."

"Okay." Richard nodded and left with the kids.

"Caroline, you deserve to die! If it weren't for you, I would've married Charles! It's your fault why I ended up like this!" Raina roared miserably while she was being handcuffed by the police.

I stared at her with utter disdain.

"You brought this upon yourself. You're miserable because you keep wishing for something that doesn't and will never belong to you." "Caroline, don't think highly of yourself! Charles has suffered a lot because of you. Do you think the Moore family will still accept you?"

I turned around and paid no attention to Raina's senseless accusations.

She had gone crazy.

It was not worth wasting time on such a person.

In the ambulance, I held Charles's hand tightly. Tears fell down my face uncontrollably. I looked like a mess.

"Charles, wake up! You can't sleep!"

I wiped the tears off my face vigorously. But the more I did, the more tears I shed.

Charles opened his mouth as if to say something.

I put my ear over his lips and heard that he was calling my name.

"I'm here. I won't leave. Charles, please hold on tight. We still have a lot of things to settle between us. You can't leave us like this!"

"Caroline, I'm tired... I want to sleep..."

"No way!" exclaimed. I then stroked

Charles's face and pleaded, "Hold on a little longer. We'll arrive at the hospital soon. Stay awake for me. Please."
