When Caroline saw Kirk, it was as if she saw a ray of hope.
“Kirk! Help me save Grandpa! He got shot …”
When Jude saw Kirk, his pupils shrank, and he raised a trembling hand. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t.
Kirk could probably guess what he was going to say. After a moment’s hesitation, he picked up Jude and strode toward the door. As he walked past Howard, he kicked him hard.
Howard had just recovered from the shock of killing Jude.
When he looked at Kirk, who had walked away, he asked uncertainly, “I–Isn’t Caroline’s husband just one of the employees of Eddy’s second uncle? What is he doing here?”
Charles, who happened to walk past Howard, immediately laughed at his confusion. “Who told you that the madam’s husband is sir’s employee?”
Howard quickly raised his head and immediately recognized Charles. “A–Aren’t you Mr. Kirk’s secretary? Why are you also here?”
Seeing how pitiful Howard was and how that he had no hope of surviving, Charles mercifully decided to him the truth.
“This is sir’s home, and he rushed back here because something happened. Do you get it now?”
Howard’s eyes became as wide as saucers. He felt as if lightning had struck him and felt his soul
leaving his body.
Charles simply gave him a glance. He didn’t want to talk to Howard anymore.
Just as he was about to walk toward the door, Howard hugged his thigh.
He questioned, “Make things clear to me! Whose home is this?”
No matter what, he didn’t want to believe the fact that Caroline was married to Kirk.
Charles glanced at him sympathetically. “It’s Mr. Kirk’s and Madam Caroline’s home. Do you get it
now?”
After getting a definite answer, Howard felt his strength draining away. And he slumped to the

Charles turned to Jack, who was behind him. “He’s all yours, Jack.”

Jack was already flexing his muscles, itching to do some work. He grabbed Howard by the collar and threw him into the car.
How dare Howard tried to hurt Caroline? Forget Kirk, even Jack wouldn’t let Howard off the hook.
Meanwhile, Kirk drove Jude to a nearby private hospital under Morrison Corporation.
When the doctors and nurses learned that Jude had a gunshot wound, they immediately became
nervous.
They sprung to action and hurriedly took Jude to the emergency operation theatre. Then, Caroline and Kirk were left waiting outside.
After seeing the sign above the operating theatre light up, Caroline felt her legs turn into jelly, and tears flowed down her cheeks. “What should we do, Kirk …”
Jude had gotten into danger because he had tried to save her. If anything happened to him, Caroline would never be able to forgive herself.
“It’ll be fine. He’ll be okay.” Kirk gently patted Caroline’s back, but his gaze was dark.
He had seen Jude’s wound. Even a strong young man wouldn’t recover from it.
He looked sullenly at the operation theatre’s doors, feeling like a beast was trapped there. If it was freed, it would plunge him into despair.
At the thought of this, Kirk couldn’t resist hugging Caroline tighter.
