Chapter 30 We're Done for Good Caroline shut her eyes , bracing for the impact of cold , hard marble . But instead of crashing to the floor , she landed in a warm embrace . 10 min left When she opened her eyes and saw William , a flicker of surprise crossed her face . Caleb locked his eyes on the two of them and mocked , " Can't even visit your kid without bringing your new boyfriend ? You're really something . " William shot back , " Watch your damn mouth ! " " Oh ? " Caleb sneered . " Did I hit a nerve ? Got you all worked up now , huh ? " Caroline felt her entire body fill with fury . Every inch of her burned . Like the rage had scorched the air around her , suffocating her . Seeing her start to sway , William quickly helped her sit down . Caleb's voice dripped with mockery as he said , " Wow . Real bold of you two . I'm not even dead yet . You're already all over each other right in front of me . " 1/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good William's contempt for the Martin family could fill a novel . At this point , he didn't even bother filtering his language . 10 min left " A decent ex should be as good as dead . Since you're not , drop dead already , " he scoffed . " Thank God Caroline divorced you . If she were still your wife , getting sick while being humiliated by you and some other woman - she'd either die of illness or from sheer frustration . " The moment Caleb heard the word " sick , " he narrowed his eyes and looked Caroline over . She was curled up on the couch . She looked small and pale , her hands trembling uncontrollably . There was even a fresh cut on the back of her hand . His expression turned grim as he asked , " What happened ? " William rolled his eyes . " She's dying . Happy now ? " Then , he turned to Dominic , his tone laced with disdain . " Congrats , kid . Looks like you finally get to have a new mom . " Dominic clamped his lips shut , not daring to say a word . " This is our family business . You don't get a say here . Do us a favor and get the hell out . " Caleb's gaze turned ice - cold as he 2/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good 10 min left stared at William . This guy is somehow even more annoying than Anthony . But William couldn't have cared less . He wants me gone ? Fine , but I'm taking Caroline with me . William bent down to help Caroline up , but a large hand yanked him back by the wrist . " You think you can touch her ? " Caleb growled . Caroline gritted through the pain and stood on her Own . She shoved Caleb aside and met his stunned eyes with a cold glare . " You have no right to say that to my friend . " Caleb let out a low , angry laugh . " What , you sick in your head now ? You really think he just sees you as a friend ? " At that , William's jaw tightened as he pressed his lips into a hard line . " It is none of your business , " Caroline retorted , her tone frosty as her gaze swept over him and Dominic . " You chose to believe Michelle . She was the one who put Dominic in the hospital . And you still defend her and come after me . I've got nothing left to say to either of you . Not now , not 3/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good ever . From now on , we're done for good . " Dominic spoke up in a small voice , " Mom … " Caroline let out a dry scoff . Now you remember I am your Mom ? But Caroline's heart had long gone cold . 10 min left " I'm not your mother anymore . Michelle is now . That's what you wanted , right ? She'll let you eat whatever you want . If you're not feeling well and want oatmeal , don't come running to me . Ask her to make it for you . " She let out a bitter laugh and shut her eyes , utterly drained . "Doesn't matter what I do . In your eyes , it's always wrong . William , let's go . " And then , William supported her as they walked away . Somehow , a wave of anxiety surged through Caleb . He opened his mouth to say something , but before he could , Dominic burst into loud sobs again . " Hmph ! Mean mommy ! I don't want you anymore ! Daddy doesn't want you either . I want Michelle to be my mommy . " 4/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good 10 min left Caroline hadn't made it far , so the moment she heard the words from the son she carried for nine months , her heart twisted so hard it hurt . A mother and child were bound by blood . No matter how far they drifted , it still cut deep . William tried to comfort her . " He's just a kid . He doesn't mean it . " " That's exactly it , " Caroline murmured , lips curling faintly in self - mockery . " He's too young to fake it . Everything he says is real . Guess he really does hate me as his mom . " William had no idea what to say to that . After a long pause , he awkwardly changed the subject . " There's a development team holding a workshop in a few days . They sent us an invitation . Do you want to go ? " Caroline asked , " Which team ? " William replied , " Divine Realm's . " Divine Realm used to be the undisputed king of mobile worldwide . games It had started as a small independent studio but later sold out to foreign investors . 5/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good 10 min left Ever since then , they'd lost the heart that once made the game great. Its reputation had tanked , and player numbers plummeted . Hardly anyone played it anymore . Though the studio never produced another hit that came close to Divine Realm's , its past achievements still carried weight . Caroline had been planning to expand her team lately , so she agreed , " They're all legends in the industry . Count me in . " *** Meanwhile , back in the hospital room , the air felt heavy . Dominic had worked himself into a full - blown tantrum again , crying for oatmeal . Caleb grabbed his phone and called Edwin . " Grab some oatmeal . Something light . " " I don't want restaurant food ! " Dominic shouted . Caleb shot him a cold look . " Starve , then . Didn't you hear what your mom said ? She's not gonna care about you . Throwing a fit won't change anything . " 6/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good 10 min left Dominic froze at his harsh tone . His mouth drooped , eyes shimmering with tears that refused to fall . Michelle tried to calm him down before saying to Caleb . " Come on now , Dominic is just a kid . What does a child know ? He wouldn't have said those things if Caroline had shown him a little more care . " Caleb scoffed , " Caroline has spoiled him . And you're saying she doesn't care? No one in this world's cared about him more than she has . " Hearing that , Michelle clenched her fists tightly . At first , Caleb's words sounded like he was blaming Caroline , but he was actually defending her . He probably didn't even realize it himself . Michelle gritted her teeth , lost in thought . I can't let them have any more contact . I have to get Caroline out of Caleb's life for good . With that in mind , Michelle quickly slipped into character , gently biting her lip as she said , " I … I didn't mean Caroline is a bad person or anything . " 7/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good 10 min left Caleb , already drained , checked the time and said , " Help me look after Dominic . I'll have someone pick him up tonight . " With that , he turned and left . When he passed by the nurses ' station , something compelled him to stop . After standing there for a few seconds , he walked over and pulled out a business card . " Is there a patient named Caroline Warren ? " " Give me a second , Mr. Martin , " the nurse replied politely . A moment later , she said , " She's here , second floor . She came in through the ER . " Caleb frowned . " What happened to her ? " " She was brought in after a fainting episode and went into shock . You'll have to ask the doctor for more details . Would you like me to make a call and find out for you ? " the nurse offered sincerely . Caleb's face stayed blank as he replied , " No need . " As he turned to leave , he sent a message to Edwin . *** 8/10 09:45 Chapter 30 We're Done for Good After finishing her IV drip , Caroline went home . 10 min left William dropped her off and handed her the invitation . " The bug's been fixed . Just get some rest , alright ? I'll see you in a few days . " She nodded . " Thanks . " After sending William off , Caroline still felt uneasy . She registered a new personal account , went through every feature in the game herself to make sure it had really been fixed . Then she logged out with peace of mind . Suddenly , her chest tightened again with a dull ache . She pressed her fingers to her brow and collapsed onto the sofa . Just as she was about to rest , the doorbell rang . Assuming it was William , she got up to answer it . " What , you forgot something ? " she asked . " Uh … Hello , Ms. Warren . " Edwin hesitated for a second on how to address her . Realizing she'd mistaken him for someone else , he didn't correct her either . " I brought some supplements for you ." Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
