Chapter 0045 Carolines POV : I was so clouded with worry for my father that I could hardly keep myself from leaping out of the bed to go find him . Who could have taken him ? Its not like he could get up and waltz out on his own . He was in a near vegetative state ! Martin readily helped me out of the building and into his car , speedily driving me to the hospital where my father was supposed to be . I hurriedly confronted the lady at the front desk , and as soon as I told her my name , she immediately sent me to talk to one of the staff : an older woman was relieved when I told her who I was . What happened to my father ? I asked , my voice demanding . Wasnt there anyone who saw him leave ? Dont worry , maam , Ill explain everything , she replied in an attempt to keep me calm . It turns out that your father was transferred to a private hospital by a family member . Lcried out in shock . Another hospital ? My brian was a complete mess of confusion . Who would have the authority to transfer my father other than me , his only family ? Another family member ? Who ? The woman swiftly sat before her computer and quickly typed in a few keys . Lets see here , she murmured , diligently searching around until she found the answer . A gentleman came in and claimed to be your husband . His name was … William Anderson . Does that name ring a bell ? What ? William ? I shouted , barely able to contain my panic . William and I are divorced ! How could you just let that happen ? I- ah ! I hissed as a sharp pain struck my stomach . Martin and the doctor kindly helped me to take a seat and offer my kind words , but my thoughts were too overwhelmed by panic . William had transferred my dad into a separate hospital , but why ? Was he really so cruel as to take my father away from me ? I was near tears , with the pain in my stomach only compounding my distress . Was the stress of the situation causing my body to harm itself ? I began to hyperventilate , but it halted as soon as Martin grabbed my hand . Hey , are you okay ? he asked worriedly . Martin , my dad is gone and William has him ! I cried out . Of course Im not okay ! Martins eyes flickered with surprise by my outburst , but he was surprisingly understanding . Hey , I know this seems bad , he told me , but you need to calm down . At least we know that your father is in the hands of capable doctors . All we need to do is think of a way to get him back . Despite my terror at the present situation , Martins presence soothed me . He smiled 1/2 425 BONUS Chapter 0045 encouragingly and said , Please , dont tear yourself apart . Your father needs you . After considering Martins words and truly taking them to heart , I smiled at him with newfound confidence . Youre right , I whispered with a nod . He needs me . Im not going to let him down . But first … I need to talk to William Even though I dreaded it , I quickly pulled out my phone and called Williams number . He failed to pick up on the first ring , flooding me with irritation . I tried a second time , and I went frustratingly ignored . It was on the third ring that William finally had the decency to answer me . Hello , Caroline , he greeted , speaking as though we were friends . The smugness in his voice infuriated me . I knew you would reach out to me . Where is my dad ? I demanded . I wasnt going to play games with him . I needed to know where my father was or I would never forgive myself for losing him . What did you do with him ? Dont worry , he replied , sounding far too calm . Hes perfectly safe . Ive arranged a professional medical team to look after him . Where is my father ? I roared , finally letting my anger out . Ill let you see him , he replied smoothly . However , you must agree to one condition . One condition ? I parroted , showing my confusion . My patience was completely gone by this point , and I was ready to scream at him through the phone . What condition , William ? Come to my house and stay with me for a week , William said simply . My eyes widened in utter shock . What ? No ! I yelled . I wont do that ! William , you- hello ? The call abruptly ended without another word .
