Chapter 45 No One Will Ever Want Her Again

Katie stood frozen, her anger still palpable as she struggled to catch her breath. “Impossible! You’re

slandering her! I can sue you for this!” she exclaimed.

Daniella feigned anger as she rose from her seat. “If you don’t believe me, call her, Mrs. Shenton!

That’s all I have to say. Please ask Caroline to know her place!” With that, she left the ward, walking

away confidently in her heels.

Meanwhile, Katie couldn’t shake off Daniella’s words, feeling increasingly anxious. The doubt and

anger inside her grew stronger, compelling her to reach out to Caroline.

Meanwhile, in the intimate confines of the room at Villa Rosa, Caroline heard her phone buzzing and

glanced toward the bedside table.

She lightly tapped Evan’s chest. “Someone is… mmph…

Before she could complete her sentence, he leaned in and kissed her lips, diverting her attention.

Startled by his sudden appearance, Caroline hung up the call in a moment of panic.

She furrowed her brow and explained, “That was my mom. Can you please give me a heads–up.

before entering next time?”

Evan’s gaze hardened as he glared at her. “Why are you so nervous?”

He seemed to have guessed what she was worried about. “Are you afraid your mom will replace out

“No,” she responded irritably, pushing him away. “I’m worried she’ll replace out I’m with a man right.

now.”

Evan leaned against the basin with one hand supporting his body as he inched closer to her ear.

Your mom wouldn’t mind if that man were Doctor Wilson, right?‘

Caroline locked eyes with him and pushed him away. “My mom isn’t like that!*

What had she done with Doctor Wilson that Evan couldn’t seem to let go of?

Meanwhile, in the ward, anxiety gripped Katie as she placed her phone down, her face paling. She

was certain she had heard a man’s voice during her conversation with Caroline.

It couldn’t possibly be her boyfriend. Caroline wouldn’t hide that from her. But if Caroline were a

mistress…

Fear coursed through her as she contemplated the possibility. She wanted to trust her daughter,

but the mounting medical bills and Bradley’s debt were a substantial burden. Closing her eyes in

anguish, she couldn’t help but worry that Caroline had resorted to such shameless acts because of

her.1

She could never repay her daughter if that were the case.

Daniella, who had been standing outside the ward, overheard every word Katie said. A satisfied. smirk

crossed her face as she reached for her phone and made a call.

As the call connected, she glanced mischievously at the security camera in the corridor. “I’ve done

my part. You’re up next”

The next day, Caroline arrived at the hospital early in the morning, mentally rehearsing the words she

had carefully prepared the previous night. Taking a deep breath, she entered the building.

But as the elevator doors opened, she froze.

Her heart sank as she saw her photos plastered all over the walls, accompanied by a glaring

sentence in red: “This is the shameless mistress who has sex with her boss for money!*

Her blood boiled, and an icy chill coursed through her veins. The people walking out of the elevator

looked at her, and after realizing she was the one in the posters, cast disgusted glances

her way.

The second when the doors were closed, a realization hit her like a bolt of lightning.

She spun around abruptly and sprinted towards the upper floors, her heart pounding in her chest.

If the posters were displayed in the elevator, what about the corridors? And the bathrooms? And worst

of all, what about her mother’s ward?

Panic consumed her, and she struggled to catch her breath. Suppressing the pain in her chest, she

staggered towards the oncology department on the third floor

As she turned the corner, she saw a group of people gathered outside her mother’s ward. Voices filled

with judgment reached her ears.

“I wonder if she was ever taught any morals. Allowing her child to stoop this low…”

“Their family is a mess after all. I didn’t expect their daughter to be even more messed up

“She’s engaging in such behavior at such a young age. No one will ever want her again.”

“My child spoke to her a few days ago. Who knows if she carries diseases with her!”

“Enough! Stop gathering around here!” the nurse shouted, but the families of other patients were in no

hurry to disperse.

Caroline felt the onslaught of criticism like relentless waves, leaving her dazed as she stumbled

into her mother’s ward.

“She’s here! It’s her!” Someone in the crowd shouted, and suddenly, all the judgmental eyes turned

toward Caroline.
