Trapped in Love

Chapter 901

Evan went along with her.

“No.” Alex remained silent for a brief moment before finally speaking up.

“Please tell me if you have any information about her.” “Hmm.” “Also, how’s your situation there? When… are you coming back?” Alex took a deep breath, composing himself.

“A few more days.

I can’t be sure of the time to leave yet,” Evan replied. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Evan… frankly… Caroline…” The mention of Caroline tightened Evan’s chest with anxiety.

He sensed something was amiss with Alex’s hesitation.

Frowning, Evan asked, “What’s going on with Carol?” Alex gnashed his teeth.

“Nothing.

It’s just that if you don’t come back, you might not be able to appease her in the future.” Evan’s expression turned solemn.

“I will apologize to her properly, but she won’t take my call nor reply to my text.” Alex remarked, “I would ignore you, too.” Evan was rendered speechless.

“Alright, I’m going inside now!” Alex said.

“Hmm.” After ending the call, Evan found himself preoccupied with thoughts of Caroline.

“Speaking of which… Carol didn’t reply to my text either,” Paige said, wiping her tears and sniffing.

Evan looked at her.

“When did you text her?” “I congratulated her on the day of your engagement, but there was no reply,” Paige shared.

Evan felt an ineffable emptiness in his heart.

“Even though she has quite the temper, she wouldn’t inflict her anger on you.” 1/3 +15 BONUS “Why don’t I… give Carol a call now?” Paige asked.

“Sure.” Paige grabbed her phone and dialed Caroline’s number.

Soon, the call was picked up.

Paige said hastily, “Carol?” “This is Neil.” Neil’s tired yet hoarse voice was heard.

Paige was stunned while Evan frowned.

Evan wondered, ‘Why is it Neil again? Hasn’t he returned the phone to Carol yet?‘ Paige asked, “Neil? Where is Carol?” “Carol is… not feeling too well.” Neil looked out the window.

Knowing Caroline wouldn’t want Paige to worry, Neil chose to hide the truth.

“Not feeling too well? How so?” Paige asked anxiously.

“She has acute gastritis.

She didn’t eat well because of the engagement incident, then she ate too much,” Neil fabricated.

Paige was doubtful.

“That’s not right.

Carol wouldn’t eat too much even if she’s in a bad mood…” Evan shared the same thought with Paige.

Neil explained, “I don’t know what she has eaten, but she is receiving an intravenous infusion now.” Paige looked at Evan with an unpleasant expression.

“Uh, Neil, can you take a photo of-” “Family member of the patient, please come with me.” A sudden doctor’s voice interrupted Paige.

Neil quickly replied, “I’m coming!” Neil said before hanging up, “I shall meet the doctor.

Let’s talk again later!” “Alright!” Paige responded, After ending the call, Paige told Evan, “Carol is sick.” Evan felt that something was off but couldn’t pinpoint it.

He nodded and said, “Hmm, I’ll reach out to her later.” Paige added, “I’ll try to reach her as well.” 2/3 “Go home.

You heard Alex.

Your departure was a crushing blow to him,” Evan suggested.

Paige pursed her lips.

“I’ll think about it.” “As you wish.” +15 BONUS Meanwhile, in an apartment.

A man was preparing to head out when he received a call.
