Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 529: Cerebral Hemorrhage 

Caroline’s POV:

I suddenly couldn’t think straight anymore.

"Are you saying that Simon and Adam have joined hands? B-but… how is that possible?" I stammered.

"That day you went to Golden State Club to meet with Adam, someone saw Simon with that bastard."

Charles frowned; his eyes, filled with contempt I bit my lower lip, feeling flustered.

"If Simon really has a hidden agenda, then that means my dad is in danger! I have to see this for myself."

Afterwards, I grabbed the phone from Charles’ hand and hurried my way into the car, intending to see my dad.

But then, Charles held my arm.

He leaned close to my ear and whispered, "No need to worry.I’ve already sent bodyguards to protect him.He’s going to be fine."

"Thank you, Charles."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Charles chuckled at my reaction as he led me to his car.

"Allow me to drive you home," he said.

That same evening, Adam called me out of the blue.

"Caroline, it seems like you’ve decided not to work with me."

To hold my anger bank, I had to grit my teeth.

"I already know about your dirty tricks.The mere idea of working with you disgusts me.Even if the Wilson Group goes bankrupt, I will never hand it over to you!"

"My, my… you’re tougher and more stubborn than I thought, Caroline.In that case, I won’t go easy on you anymore! Let’s see just how long you can keep this up!"

Adam remarked.

His words were like sharp thorns, jabbing into my heart.

After the phone call, I began to feel uneasy.I was almost certain that Adam had aces in his sleeve that I still didn’t know about.

A covert attack was difficult to avoid, and I had no idea how he would enact his plans.

The deeper I was in this predicament, the more anxious it made me.

A few days later, the company received word that my father had gotten involved in a financial crime, causing the feds to freeze all of his assets.

My mind went blank.I hurried out of the house, ready to go to my father’s villa.

As soon as I got out of the house, a car drove towards me and pulled over.

Simon got out of the car and said, "Caroline, something has happened to your father!"

In that moment, all the strength of my legs dissipated, causing me to fall to my knees and lose the will to stand.

Simon grabbed my wrist and remarked, "I know that you’re emotionally unstable right now, so it wouldn’t be good for you to drive.Get in my car! I'll take you to the hospital."

Without thinking too much, I went into his car at once.

While he was driving, Simon told me, "The police went to find Edward and instructed him to cooperate with the investigation.Edward was so devastated by the news that he ended up falling down the stairs and hitting his head in the process.He’s suffered a concussion and cerebral hemorrhage.He’s unconscious right now."

As soon as we arrived at the hospital, I rushed to the emergency room.

After having waited in the corridor for what felt like forever, the doctor finally came out.

"Excuse me, who here is a relative of Mr.Edward Wilson?"

"I am!"

I rushed to the doctor’s side and grabbed his arm.

"Doctor, I’m his daughter.How’s my father? How bad is it?"

"The patient is suffering from cerebral hemorrhage.Thankfully, we’ve managed to clear his intracranial hemorrhage after performing a minimally invasive surgery.However, he’s still not out of the woods yet, and we’re still uncertain when he will regain consciousness."

The doctor’s response was like a bolt of lightning, tearing through a clear sky.

My ears began to buzz, my vision blurred, and I felt dizzy.

Just then, Simon held me firmly and said, "Caroline, it’s going to be okay.Edward will recover."

I looked into his eyes and saw how concerned he appeared to be.

But knowing what I knew about him, I felt disgusted.I withdrew my hand from him and steadied myself.

"I wish to be alone for a while.You should go home." Simon frowned and let out a sigh.

"I understand.Call me if you ever need anything."

Once Simon had left, I noticed that the doctor was hesitant to say something.

He was acting a bit strange.

"Doctor, tell me the truth.Is there something wrong with my dad?" I asked, realizing that something was amiss.

"We ran a blood test on him when he came in and surprisingly detected a special kind of drug in his system.This particular drug can make people hallucinate and even render them insane."

The hands at my sides clenched into fists.

I gnashed my teeth and took several deep breaths just to stifle my rage.

‘Those bastards did this to my father! I’m going to make them all pay!’

"Doctor.I need you to keep this information between us.If word of this gets out, chances are, someone will take advantage of the situation to hurt my dad."

It broke my heart to see my beloved father lying in bed, unconscious.

In the short time that I didn’t see him, he had already become so haggard.

His once mature yet handsome face had become deathly pale.

His hair had completely greyed out, and he was almost skin and bones Thalf knelt down before the sickbed, breaking down in tears.

"I’m so sorry, Dad.I failed to protect you!"

I should’ve realized that something bad was happening the last time I saw him.

Had I been more vigilant, Dad wouldn’t have ended up this way, When the doctor lest, I took my phone out and dialed Hugo’s number.

"Hugo, something has happened to my dad.Can you transfer him to a hospital in France for treatment? Make sure to do it in secret."

Hugo sell silent for a moment before letting out a sigh.

"I’ve already heard about what happened to the Wilson Group, Caroline.Alright.I’ll send someone to pick up Edward as soon as possible."

"Thanks, Hugo." I wiped away my tears and held my dad’s hand tightly.

After the phone call, I told my people to inform major media outlets that my father had died of a serious illness.

"Get some good rest, Dad.I promise you, I’m going to make everyone who hurt you pay!"

I pressed my hands down on the edge of the bed to support myself up.

Because I had been kneeling down for a long time, I had to stagger my way to the door to leave the ward.

Once I had confirmed that there was nobody else around, I called the CFO of my company and told her, "Asta, I need your help in acting my plan out."

I had already planned for the worst in several situations.

Now and until the end of this battle, I would fight until my last dying breath.

Just like everyone else, I wanted a chance to survive and triumph.

Charles’s POV:

I rushed to the hospital as soon as I heard the news of Edward’s accident.

Caroline was sitting on a bench beneath a tree shade right outside the hospital.

She was staring at the sky, just like how she used to when she was younger.

Every time she was feeling dejected, she would sit alone and stare into nothingness.

Back when we were kids, I had no idea how to comfort her, so all I could do was throw leaves and bugs at her to distract her. But this time, I didn’t attempt to disturb her.I stood behind her while she was seated on the bench.

Even from a distance, I could clearly see her tearful face.

Based on how swollen her eyes were, she must’ve been crying for a long time.

But even so, she remained silent.

In my heart, she was still the same little girl who used to follow me around all the time.

Despite her slender shoulders, she was carrying a heavy burden that she shouldn’t even bear.

Just seeing her like this broke me.I could feel the pain all over my body.

When I left the hospital, Richard handed me a document.

"Simon had been contacting Adam like we thought. Aside from that, we’ve found something regarding the east bank project.I’ve already arranged for someone to follow up on the lead.Additionally, Nevaeh has offered to resign.Amy said that she’ll look for a new assistant for you as soon as possible."

I nodded in response and looked towards the direction of the hospital.
