Chapter 842
After Michael left, Kirk slowly crouched down. He gently brushed aside some strands of Caroline’s hair
that were damp from her tears.
“Caroline, I’m here.”
His gentle voice was like the first rays of morning sunshine breaking through the darkness. His warm
breath landed on her brows.
Caroline’s eyelashes stopped quivering. A moment later, she opened her eyes, like a person who had just
surfaced from drowning.
When she saw Kirk, Caroline’s eyes started to well up with tears again.
“Mr. Y.”
“It’s okay. It’s safe here,” Kirk whispered.
Caroline lifted her head and looked at Kirk. After a few moments, her body stopped shaking. She bit her
lip and slowly asked, “Where is that man? Who is he? Why did he …”
She couldn’t finish her sentence, and her body started to tremble again.
Kirk gently stopped her, saying, “Don’t worry, he’s already been arrested. As for the rest, you don’t need to
think about it. I’ll… have someone look into it.”
After hearing what Kirk said, Caroline finally felt a little less scared. That was when she realized that she was actually gripping Kirk’s sleeve.
It wasn’t a big deal, but after she had found out that Kirk had someone else in his heart, she had been
trying to avoid him. But now…
She pulled her hand back. “I’m sorry, I …”
Kirk looked down and saw her hand pulling away. He felt a sense of loss, as if something had been taken
from him. He asked in a disappointed voice, “Why are you apologizing again?”
Caroline took a step back and said, “Mr. Y, since your heart belongs to someone else, I think we should…
just stop seeing each other.”
Kirk was stunned.

He had indeed said that he loved someone, but that person was her. Still, he couldn’t find it in himself to
tell her.
Kirk took a deep breath and said, “She… she won’t be a problem for us.”
“How can it not affect us?”
Caroline got a little angry. “Mr. Y, are you trying to play both sides of the fence?”
Her question left Kirk speechless.
As he fell silent, someone knocked on the door.
Michael was at the door. Upon noticing that the color had returned to Caroline’s face, he turned to Kirk
and asked, “Can I speak to you for a minute?”
Kirk glanced at Caroline and gave a slight nod. “Wait here for me. I’ll be back.”
He felt a bit frustrated. Meanwhile, Caroline didn’t want to get involved with him, but she didn’t dare to run
off now. So she nodded obediently.
After getting a response, Kirk finally followed Michael out of the examination room.
Kirk and Michael arrived at the latter’s student’s office. His student was out, so it was just the two of
them there.
After closing the door, Michael walked to the desk. He turned the computer on and stared at it for a while
before finally looking up at Kirk.
“Kirk, I have some good news and some bad news. What would you like to hear first?”
Kirk’s temples were pounding. “Bad news.”
“This incident was a big shock to the madam. She was already very insecure. She thought that meeting her old friend would be a step forward, but this sudden incident has affected that.”
He continued, “Since she’s more insecure now than she has ever been before, it is likely that she will not
leave her comfort zone for a while/
“What’s the good news?”
Michael’s face finally broke into a smile when he mentioned the good news. “From what I’ve seen, it’s clear that the madam is very dependent on you. You can finally stay by her side!”
Kirk had always wanted this.
