Chapter 0030 +25 BONUS Caroline’s POV : I worriedly poured over the mysterious text message a hundred times over , and even then , I still couldn’t wrap my head around it . The phone number was a complete mystery to me , and when I tried to think of who could have sent it to me , my mind caine up blank . William was certainly callous and vengeful enough , but if he wanted to taunt me , he would have just done so to my face . I forced myself to put my phone down and endeavored to ignore the text . I couldn’t be distracted from my ultimate goal : discovering the truth behind my beloved father’s framing and proving his innocence . Despite the determination thrummed in my veins , I had an uphill battle ahead of me , for the answers were in William’s laptop . Countless files had gone woefully uninspected in William’s computer , and although the video seemed incriminating , doubt was at the forefront of my mind . The video had been frustratingly silent , so their conversation was left a puzzling mystery . Only two people knew the truth behind that confounding video : Sophia and my father . Sophia was a scornful woman whose trustworthiness was dubious at best . Not to mention how she had so callously taken my life away from me . Not only had that temptress seduced my ex – husband into having an affair , but she also had a hand in my poor baby boy’s demise . The look in her eyes when she shoved me into the lake was forever seared into my memory . So disdainful of Sophia was I that I would sooner bear through William’s delusional trite than go to her for answers . The fastest way to get the answers I desperately needed was to go to the source of controversy directly : my father . Several grueling days passed before I tentatively went out to see him . I hesitated in venturing out in fear I may somehow bump into William while he tirelessly searched for me , but as time ticked by , I slowly felt safe enough to find my father . William’s patience was surprisingly thin , so his search would have had a swift end . Martin and Cindy showed their kindness by consistently checking up on me , making sure that I was alright and that I hadn’t been kidnapped by William again . It took several reassurances to placate their worries , but they believed me in the end , and their trust filled my heart with gratitude . In this time of uncertainty , it was nice to know I had people who I could depend on . My worries returned with a vengeance when I found that I couldn’t get my father to respond to my messages . I sent concerned text after concerned text , but he never answered . Worry gripped me like a vice , and in my growing fear , I went to visit him myself . My anxiety wouldn’t let me rest until I saw him , Chapter 0030 My anxiety skyrocketed when , upon arriving atony father’s home , I found the front door ajar . Confusion buzzed inside me and I wasted no time , immediately rushing inside . Dad ? ” I called , scanning the room for him . When I saw his collapsed form on the ground , my hear “ Dad ! ” I cried out , dashing to his side . He was pale , and for a heart – stopping moment . My fears were quickly alleviated upon seeing his chest steadily heave , and I let out a sob of relief . He may still have been unconscious on the floor , but it was outweighed by my gratitude that my father was still with me . I called out to him helplessly , trying to shake him awake . “ Dad , please , wake up . It’s me , Caroline . Please , I’m begging you to look at me . Despite my best efforts , he still wasn’t getting up , and my failure had me wracked with guilt . To my devastation , he must have been in a deep coma . An ambulance was swiftly called for , and the emergency services were sympathetic as they instructed me to stay by his side until they arrived . I did so gladly, holding his hand and trying to quell my sobbing . When they finally did show up and loaded him into the vehicle , they mercifully offered me a chance to be by his side on the way to the hospital . I nearly leapt into the ambulance to be with my father , but that was when I finally noticed just how messy everything in the house was . Papers were strewn everywhere , drawers were yanked open , and objects were carelessly thrown to the ground . Was my father injured in some sort of robbery ? His grand study was a chaotic mess of papers and tossed aside books . It was a difficult sight to behold , but I ventured in and , to my shock , found my father’s safe deposit box wide open . The only things my father kept in that box were his most important documents , which were now carelessly rifled through in a mess of crumpled paper. A cold sweat broke out on my back .
