Chapter 0049 Carolines POV : I stared at the report with wide eyes , my lips parted in awe . Someone had clearly changed the diagnosis for me , but who could have done that ? Who would have had the power to do so ? Stunned , I briefly thought back to the few suspects who could have had a reason to hide the results from William . My first thought was Martin , but would even be able to access the results if they came from a private sanatorium ? Perhaps it was someone who refused to let William know for nefarious reasons . Could it be my fathers attacker , perhaps ? Even Sophias name crossed my mind at some point . Did she know that Ive been with William ? Whatever the reason , I took the lab results as a godsend . My secret was safe ! See ? I said with a scoff . Its just you being paranoid . Can I see my father now ? William dared to look furious despite having gotten the results hed asked for . What right did he have to be angry at me now ? We agreed to a week , he scowled , backing up towards the door with George in his arms . You still have six days left to go . Stay here and dont do anything funny , got it ? He shut the door with a slam so hard it shook the walls . I roll my eyes at his ridiculous behavior . Why did he always have to be so dramatic ? His behavior was deeply annoying , but thankfully he was gone for now . The daring thought of leaving the apartment crossed my mind , but I wouldnt be able to escape without one of his little spies informing him of our broken deal . How else could I deal with William ? I lounged around the room for a few more hours , lamenting over my situation and pondering what I could do to get my ex husband away from me for as long as possible . As I considered my options , a fuzziness began to cloud over my thoughts and a dizziness came over me . I gave into the hazy grasp and let it lull me to sleep . Time seemed to fly by as the dazed feeling worsened , but I soon heard a smooth voice calling my name . It was muddled and distant , and for a while , I struggled to hear them at all . My face was burning hot while my body was ice cold , and I struggled to understand what was happening . I felt rough hands grab my shoulders and start shaking me . I let out a low groan but failed to utter a word . A gentle hand touched my forehead and more muddled words were spoken . Caroline , a voice said , breaking through the haze . Wake up , Caroline . Everything was so obnoxiously noisy . All I wanted to do was rest , but that smooth voice just wouldnt leave me alone . A rational part of me desired to wake up and uncover the issue , but any attempts to awaken quickly died away . 1/2 +28 BCAUS I felt the sharp prick of a needle on the inside of my arm . The pain made my head a little clearer , and when I opened my bleary eyes , I saw the last person in the world I wanted to see : William . An ugly look of anger tainted his chiseled features . I lethargically looked over to see Laden putting in a drip IV in for me , explaining the prick in my skin . Ever silent , he merely gave me an acknowledging nod before strutting out of the room , leaving me with William once more . Whats wrong ? I murmured , a little light headed . Without missing a beat , William started berating me . Are you an idiot ? he growled , his arms crossed . Why didnt you change your wet clothes before you went to bed? Youre running a fever ! His voice sounded annoyed , but beyond that , I would have sworn I could detect hints of concern somewhere deep in there . Maybe I was hallucinating ? The fever I was suffering from sent a wave of nausea through me . A sudden pain ripped through my stomach , and to my horror , I was about to vomit . Ripping out the IV and shoving William out of the way , I sprinted into the bathroom . I just barely locked the door in time to keep William out . Caroline ! William shouted , pounding on the door . What the hell is wrong with you ? Open the door ! I barely had time to respond as my legs gave out from underneath me . I made it to the toilet just in time and emptied my stomach . There was so much blood , it could only come from my cancer . A wave of weariness hit me and I slumped against the wall , slamming my head against a shelf in the process . I struggled to even breathe as my vision faded in and out . The violent sound of splintering wood met my ears as someone kicked their way into the room . Williams well built form appeared in my vision , but he was a blurry mess . Laden ! he roared , lifting me into his arms . Get in here ! Now !
