Chapter 0042 Williams POV : I should have been grateful to hear about Caroline , but I was only filled with annoyance . I shouldnt have been as concerned as I was about her situation , nor about who was taking care of her , but my mind kept coming back to her . So , while Sophia was still coming down from her distress , I leisurely drove to the hospital to check up on Caroline . I strolled in to see her , but when I stopped by the door , I was surprised to find it was partially open . My hearing picked up two people speaking back and forth , interspersed with light laughter . Brimming with curiosity , I peeked through the crack of the door , and I could hardly believe my eyes . A man was bent over Carolines hospital bed , embracing her , while rose petals surrounded the luxurious hospital bed . My anger hit its peak and I burst through the door . Caroline ! I scolded . Are you seriously flirting with another man ? Even in the hospital ? Are you that shameless Caroline was newly divorced and free to date other men , so I shouldnt have been as enraged as I was . And yet , when I saw that man on top of her , I felt only anger and bitterness . I stormed over and pulled the man off of her , and sure enough , I saw Martins irritating face . Martin angrily shoved me off , fixing me with glare . I almost snapped at him , but Caroline interrupted me . William ! What are you doing here ? she yelled , looking furious to see me . Her sudden anger shocked me . I could still remember how she had always been so docile and compliant with me , where she had never once raised . Now it was as if I was the very last person she wanted to see . I accusingly pointed a finger at Martin , yelling , You told me you didnt fall in love with him . Explain that then ! Thats none of your business , she replied , clenching her fists . Why are you still bothering me ? Just as I was about to scathingly retort , she turned to face Martin with an exhausted sigh . Martin , Im sorry . Can you give us a few minutes ? she asked . Her voice was so soft compared to how she spoke with me . Martin looked between us , his eyes landing on me bitterly as he did so . Alright , Ill go , he hurts you , just call for me . Ill be right there , okay ? Okay . Thank you , Martin . but if He paused , gave me a dangerous warning look , and then left the room without another word . Caroline turned her callous gaze onto me again , visibly brimming with rage . Whats the matter with you ? she nearly yelled . Why are you like this ? 1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 0042 I felt myself become overwhelmed with anger , but I was rendered speechless by how fearlessly they fought back . Youre sick , I said outright , finding my voice . When did that happen ? Whats wrong with you ? Caroline crossed her arms , resistance in her eyes , I dont know what youre talking about , she huffed . Caroline , I found blood on my carpet , I replied , leaving no room for denial . I know its yours . Whats going on with you ? Shock flitted over her features for a moment as she looked unsure of what to say . She hesitated to speak the truth , but eventually , she nodded her head . Okay , yes . I was sick , but it was just some bleeding in my stomach . Are you satisfied now ? A sigh of relief left my lips . Some bleeding in the stomach wasnt that bad , because that was thankfully curable . I had disdain for the tone she took with me , though . Why couldnt she see that I was caring for her ? Satisfied ? I scoffed . Im not as ruthless as you make me out to be , Caroline . You should be thankful I actually care about your condition so much . Caroline looked utterly offended by my generous concern . Appreciative ? I never wanted you to care in the first place ! What ? Then what do you want from me , then ? I demanded , finding her words completely absurd . Her gaze was utterly scathing . I want you to leave me alone ! Now get out of my hospital room ! Shocked by her demanding tone , I was left without words . Finally , I managed , I actually invested my time and care into you , and this is how you treat me ? Dont come crying to me for help in the future ! With that , I begrudgingly followed her request and marched out of the room . I leaned against the wall just outside to catch my breath , exhausted . Curiously enough , I could hear two doctors whispering to one another from afar . Doctor Martin is having us put tons of resources into helping the patient , one said . His colleague groaned frustratedly . Hasnt anyone told him how hard it is to handle gastric cancer ? he sighed , sounding thoroughly annoyed . His friend replied with a lazy shrug . We tried , but any cases of a successful surgery are really but hard to find , especially with how bad she has it . Martin wants us to find a better way , honestly , I dont know if there is one . I listened to their conversation with increasing alarm . They were talking about stomach Chapter 0042 cancer , werent they ? Were they referring to Caro
