Chapter 832
Sean’s brows furrowed. “You’re saying that she’s so fragile now that she can’t get hurt at all?”
“Yes. Even the tiniest of things can cause her a lot of pain,” said the psychologist.
“I get it.”
Caroline returned soon after Sean and the psychologist were done talking.
Sean bid the psychologist goodbye and took her home. When they reached Yates Manor, he excused himself by saying that he had work to do. Then, he slipped into the study to call Kirk and tell him about the
check-up.
Kirk’s emotions were all over the place when he heard the news from Sean. Despite that, the worry he felt was completely replaced by the joy of knowing he could stay by Caroline’s side with his mask on.
Besides, they were in Macldo. He was familiar with the place, so he had full faith in himself that he could
protect Caroline well.
“I’ll head over tonight,” Kirk said.
“Kirk, you’re being much too impatient,” Sean teased. Just then, he heard someone knock on the door.
“I’m hanging up. Just head over tonight. I’ll have someone clear out a room for you.”
After ending the call, he said, “Come in.”
The door swung open, and Betty walked into the room. “Why were you in such a hurry to come to the
study just now? I have something important to tell you.”
Even though the door was closed, Betty spoke in a hushed voice.
It made Sean laugh and say, “Mom, there’s no one else here.”
Betty hushed him, took out an invitation card, and gave it to him. “Take a look at this.”
Confused by her actions, Sean took the card from her and opened it.
The sender was Marietta herself, and the invitation seemed to be regarding something rather important.
However, the person she had invited wasn’t anyone from the Yates family, but Caroline.
“Marietta sent someone to give this to us this afternoon,” Betty said.
“The last time we were on the cruise ship, we had barely mentioned Marietta’s name, but Caroline passed
out because of that.
“That’s why I didn’t accept the invitation right away. I just kept it with me. Do you think I should give this to
Caroline?”
“Not at all.” Sean sounded certain.
Betty agreed. “We’re on the same page then. I’ll throw it away.”
“Why bother?” Sean retorted.
He pointed at the trash can in a corner of the room. “There’s a trash can right here.”
Betty swiftly tossed away the invitation card and sighed. “I’ll head over to Marietta’s and explain it to her a
few days later.”
She continued, “Last time, I scolded her daughter. This time, I’m refusing her invitation again. She might
think that I have a problem with her.”
“Her daughter?”
“Yes.” Betty sounded surprised.
“Don’t you know that she’s finally found her daughter?”
Betty wanted to rant to Sean about how awful Yvonne was. Sadly, though, Sean wasn’t someone who
liked to gossip.
“Tell me about it later, Mom. I have work to do.”
Betty responded, “Fine. I know you don’t like listening to me rant. I’m going to see Caroline. She’s a much
better kid.”
Sean was torn between laughing and weeping.
Betty was already at the door when he stopped her. “Oh right! Remember to make dinner for Kirk tonight.”
“Is he coming over?”
“Yeah.”
Betty’s smile widened at Sean’s answer. “It’s because of Caroline, right? Sean, when are you going to
marry and bring your wife home?”
Sean wanted to tell Betty about Gwen, but he held his tongue when he remembered that there hadn’t been
much progress between the two of them.
He had been listening to Caroline talk about Gwen all the time for the past few days. He had even jotted
Nothing could make him believe that he, a genius doctor, couldn’t find a way to handle Gwen.
Betrayed by her fiancé, Caroline Evans decides on a whim to marry someone else.

Lamenting about being tricked, Caroline Evans insists on a divorce. But her husband corners her and says unblinkingly, “That billionaire is not me.
