Chapter 43 Ungrateful Daughter

Daniella opened the door and walked into the room in her heels.

As she observed the man soundly asleep in bed, she discarded her clothes without hesitation, allowing them to fall carelessly onto the floor. She gingerly climbed into the bed, mindful not to

disturb his slumber.

She slept soundly until 7 a.m…

Suddenly, Evan’s eyes fluttered open from an upset tummy, his face contorted with discomfort.

He frowned when he realized that he was in a hotel room

“Mmph… Evan, you’re awake?” Daniella’s voice filled the air, carrying a hint of sleepiness as she gazed at him sheepishly.

In that moment, a rush of memories from the previous night flooded Evan’s mind. He recalled the

ringing of the doorbell, his hazy consciousness as he stumbled towards the entrance, and pulling

someone inside upon recognizing a familiar voice. He had mistaken Daniella for Caroline–his

heart sank.

Annoyed, Evan threw off the blanket and rose from the bed, his frustration evident on his

handsome face.

With disappointment evident in her voice, Daniella quickly sat up. “Evan! Do you despise me to the extent that you don’t want to be intimate with me?”

Evan’s handsome face stiffened, his voice ice–cold. “Did you bring me here?”

“I had been drinking too. I realized it wasn’t safe to drive you home, so I brought you here. I intended to get some honey water to help sober you up, but the kitchen was closed. When I returned, you suddenly pulled me in and things escalated… Evan, if you loathe me, I can pretend this never happened.”

Feeling wronged, she recalled the images she had seen on the security camera and lied.

Evan’s fists clenched tightly as he spoke, ‘Daniella, I’ll make it up to you, but not right now.”

Secretly relieved by his response, she hoped he wouldn’t recall Caroline’s presence.

Her focus was now on ensuring everything went smoothly when her adoptive parents–who had promised to come–arrived.

away last night?”

She nodded. “I do.”

Frowning, disappointment evident in his eyes, Evan continued. “You truly are something, Caroline.

With that, he swiftly made his way to their room, slamming the door with a resounding thud,

leaving Caroline standing at the entrance, bewildered and lost.

Perplexed by his sudden outburst, she couldn’t fathom what she had done to trigger such a tantrum. Evan had been fine the previous night, but this morning, he seemed like a completely. different person

Deciding not to dwell on it, she headed downstairs for breakfast before setting off to the hospital.

The bodyguards stationed themselves outside the ward, allowing her to enter alone.

Caroline’s heart squeezed painfully at the sight of her pale and tearful mother, Katie, lying in the

hospital bed and sobbing.

She quickly went up to ask. “Mom? What’s wrong?”

Katie hurriedly wiped away her tears upon seeing Caroline and choked out, “You’re here, Carol.”

She nodded, her mind racing as she considered her next question. “Was Dad here?”

A weary sigh escaped Katie’s lips. “Let’s not talk about him, Carol. Please, let’s not.”

Rage began to simmer within Caroline. “Mom, did he cause trouble for you again? Did he demand

more money?”

“Stop it, Carol. I’ve already paid Doctor Wilson back.” Katie said.

“We owe him too many favors. We’ve burdened him enough; we can never repay him…”

Caroline’s emotions were complex. She knew all too well that her father would inevitably return, seeking money once more, given his character. However, she hadn’t anticipated it happening so

Taking a deep breath, she made a determined declaration. “Let me handle it, Mom. I won’t allow him to come back.”

Katie stared at her in disbelief. “What are you going to do, Carol?”

“Call the police,” she stated firmly.

She refused to be a passive victim any longer. Even if it meant being labeled “ungrateful” and

In no time, the officer accompanied Caroline back to the ward

She felt sad and helpless seeing Bradley being detained.

“Caroline, you ungrateful daughter! How dare you call the police on me!”

His eyes widened with fury as he unleashed his scathing words upon Caroline. 1

“Just you wait! I’ll hunt you down when I get out! I will make you suffer along with your mother!”

After recording her statement with the police officer, Caroline returned to the ward to comfort her mother, Katie.
