Chapter 868
After saying that, Betty asked the household staff to take all her meals upstairs, leaving
the first floor to Caroline and Kirk.
This wasn't the first time Betty had done this.
Even a fool could tell she was deliberately creating opportunities for Caroline and Kirk to
be alone.
Caroline didn't know what to feel.
She really didn't want to be alone with him.
Before this, she had inexplicably wanted to get close to him.
But after she had discovered that he had a lover, she wanted to keep her distance from
him.
Although he repeatedly said that she wasn't a substitute for his lover, she didn't want to
get close to him anymore.

"What's on your mind?"
Kirk put a piece of fish on Caroline's plate.
Caroline looked down.
This was a fish she liked, but there were too many bones.
So she usually had no choice but to give up.
Had Mr.Y done this because he knew she liked this fish? If he knew about that ...
Caroline’s mind became a blur again.
Everything she saw became muddled, and everything around her became an image from
a distant place.
Even the voices seemed to come from a distance.
Caroline's plate fell to the ground with a bang, and her body was about to go down with it.
Seeing this, Kirk hugged her waist. "Carrie!"
Caroline was trapped in her own world, and she couldn't hear his voice at all.She simply
felt her body floating.She wasn't in pain,
but she just felt disoriented.It was as if she was in the clouds for no reason.
"Carrie!"
Kirk called her name nervously, tightly holding her hand.Her eyes were slightly narrowed
and unfocused.
However, there wasn't a painful expression on her face.She looked more like a confused
child.
Hearing the noises, Betty ran out of her room.
When she saw Caroline lying in Kirk's arms, she gasped and hurried downstairs."What
happened? What's going on? Someone
call the doctor! Michael quickly arrived at Yates Manor.
After examining Caroline's condition, he walked out of the room with a frown on his face.
"How is she?" Betty asked nervously.
Since Michael arrived, Kirk had had his eyes fixed on him the entire time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMichael shook his head and said, "To be honest, this is my first time seeing something like
this.Mrs.Yates Senior, did she act
unusually today?"
Betty carefully thought about it.
Then, she said guiltily, "This is my fault.I slipped up and mentioned the top family in
Macldo.I quickly changed the topic, but ..."
All of a sudden, Kirk said, "I'm also at fault."
When Michael and Betty heard the arrogant Kirk say those words, they looked at him, their
eyes wide open in disbelief.
Kirk looked at the table in the dining room downstairs.
"In the past, when Carrie and I ate together, I would always take the bones out of the fish
for her.Her illness acted up after I gave
her some fish.I think ...she must have thought of something."
After hearing this, Michael's expression became solemn.
