Chapter 328 Put Me Down Right Now!
Outside, the sound of shuffling footsteps echoed through the hall.
It was… loud.
There must be a lot of people out there.
Finished
David had only one thought in his mind–getting Caroline to the hospital as quickly as possible. He was so focused that he didn’t even realize Caroline had already opened her eyes.
His mind clung to a single goal–saving Caroline. No matter what it took.
Because of that, he also failed to notice the small hand gripping the front of his shirt, tugging at it repeatedly.
As he continued striding toward the door, Caroline grew anxious. She clenched his shirt even tighter and yanked with more force. “David!”
This has to stop. Right now. If this goes any further… things will get completely out of control!
At first, Caroline had thought only David was in the master bedroom. But when she heard the bodyguards speaking and the sound of hurried footsteps, she instantly realized–there were at least dozens of people waiting outside!
She couldn’t possibly let them see her in this state. And there was no way she could actually get in an ambulance for emergency treatment!
Who the heck needs to be rescued after falling asleep?
The moment he heard Caroline’s voice, David’s steps halted abruptly.
For a second, he thought he was hallucinating.
But then, her voice rang out again, clear and undeniable. “David, what are you doing? Put me down right now!”
It was her. That familiar voice.
A sharp tremor ran through his entire body. His heart pounded wildly as he lowered his gaze, hardly daring to believe it.
The woman in his arms had her eyes open, staring at him in urgency. Her fingers gripped his shirt tightly. yanking at it over and over.
“Caroline? You… you…
David’s mind went completely blank.
“What do you mean, me?” Caroline huffed. “I should be asking you that! Why are you carrying me? When did you get back?”
David just stood there,,staring at her, forgetting to even blink.
Caroline struggled several times, twisting in his arms, before he finally–slowly–bent down and released

Finished
His entire body felt rigid, his mind refusing to process anything except the person standing before him.
She was real. Alive.
Just moments ago, she had been lying in his arms–motionless, pale as a ghost. Now…..
She was standing here, perfectly fine.
Talking, breathing, moving. Her dark eyes were clear and bright, full of life.
It was as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.
And now, everything was back to normal. Nothing had changed. Caroline… is alive.
David kept his gaze locked onto her, unwilling to look away even for a second. He was terrified that if he so much as blinked, she would disappear.
The overwhelming fear and regret from earlier still clung to his chest, refusing to fade.
Maybe the greatest relief in the world was-
Lething and getting it back.
In this moment, nothing had ever made David feel more at pe
But Caroline felt a bit guilty. She avoided his gaze, looking away uneasily.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” she muttered. “I just took a nice bath and had a good sleep. What’s going on? Why did you pull me out of the bathtub?”
She had no choice–she had to play dumb.
Pretend she knew nothing. Heard nothing.
From this moment on, she was just an innocent person who had

Otherwise, she didn’t even want to imagine how furious David would be.
He’d think she was messing with him on purpose… But she swore she wasn’t! Not that he would believe her.
So, the best approach? Deny everything
