Chapter 34 How Dare You Turn Off Your Phone

After that, there was total silence…

Caroline was speechless at the door, her mind filled with questions. “Who is the child Mom is

talking about? It can’t possibly be me. I am definitely Dad’s child. Yes, his behavior has changed

drastically over the years, but he was always a responsible father when I was young.‘

Caroline shook her head, dismissing the wild thoughts from her mind.

Opening the door and entering, she found Katie sitting on the bed with an angry expression

“Mom, did you argue with Dad again?”

Startled by her daughter’s presence, Katie turned to look at Caroline with a hint of panic. “Why

didn’t you tell me you were here?”

Caroline took a seat beside the bed. After a brief silence, she inquired, “Mom, what did you mean.

when you mentioned a child who isn’t Dad’s?”

Avoiding eye contact, Katie replied, “It’s a child from one of your father’s relatives. It has nothing

to do with you. Don’t meddle in this.”

Caroline sensed something amiss, but she wasn’t sure how to approach the topic. After all, she

had very limited contact with her father’s side of the family. Her mother had always described

them as having peculiar personalities, so she preferred to keep her distance.

So, Caroline decided to change the subject and peeled a fruit for her mother. “Mom, you’re unwell

now. Don’t worry about other people’s affairs.”

Katie replied, “I just want to prevent your father from committing more wrongdoings…”

It was past nine o’clock at night when Caroline left the hospital.

She hailed a taxi to hurry back to Villa Rosa. The exhaustion and the effects of her pregnancy

caused her to doze off shortly after getting into the cab.

In her dream, she found herself in a spacious house, Children were running and playing in the

yard, except for one girl with braided hair who sat alone beside a flower bed. Suddenly, another

girl with a ponytail approached her and asked, “Why do you always look so sad? Stop sulking.”

The girl with braided hair lifted her head, slightly displeased. “You’re mean.‘

The girl with the ponytail pushed her shoulders, causing her to fall into the flower bed and get covered

in dirt. She continued to taunt, “I’ll slap you hard if you say that again!”

Undeterred, the girl with braided hair endured the pain and defiantly looked at her tormentor. “No

matter how many times I say it, you’ll still be mean. I’m not telling lies!”

“I’ll teach you a lesson!”

The girl with the ponytail gathered her friends and they started hitting the girl with braided hair

together. Caroline watched anxiously, wanting to intervene but unable to reach them no matter

how hard she tried.

“Hey, Miss. We’ve arrived!” the taxi driver called, waking Caroline from her dream.

Realizing she had reached her destination, Caroline quickly straightened herself and retrieved money

from her purse to pay the driver.

Stepping out of the car, the cold wind snapped her back to reality.

Pondering over her dream, she gently massaged her forehead. ‘Maybe it’s because of Daniella’s recent

behavior that I had a dream about being bullied.‘

As she dwelled on the dream, she couldn’t help but place a hand on her lower abdomen, feeling a

slight uneasiness,

For a moment, she felt a wave of concern wash over her, thinking about the possibility of her

child experiencing isolation and bullying in the future.

Shaking off the distant thoughts, she focused on walking towards the villa.

As she entered the yard, she noticed there were no cars, indicating that Evan was not yet home.

Opening the door and stepping inside, Caroline was greeted by an anxious Lily.

“Ms. Shenton, where were you?”

Confused by Lily’s worried tone, Caroline inquired, “What’s the matter?”

Lily glanced toward the door and replied, “Mr. Jordan called you many times but couldn’t reach.

you. He even smashed a few things in the living room ”

As Lily spoke, she gestured towards the scattered items strewn across the floor in the living room.

Caroline stood there in shock, then quickly took her phone out of her bag to check it.

Realizing her phone was dead, frustration crept over her. “My phone ran out of battery.”

Worry filled Lily’s eyes. “Ms. Shenton, I’ve never seen him so angry before. When he returns, don’t

make him even more angry.”

Caroline nodded, her mind filled with unease. She bypassed Lily and hurried upstairs to charge her

phone.

A minute later, her phone lit up, bombarded with notifications of missed calls. There were missed.

calls from Evan, Reuben, and even her mother.

Just as Caroline was about to return their calls, Evan’s name appeared on the screen, and her heart

raced as she answered.

“Caroline, how dare you turn off your phone!” Evan’s voice boomed angrily.

Caroline swallowed, trying to remain calm. “My phone ran out of battery….

“Where are you now?” Evan roared angrily again.

Caroline replied honestly, “I’m at Villa Rosa.”

He abruptly hung up, intensifying the premonition in Caroline’s heart. She had witnessed Evan’s

anger before, but this level of fury was unprecedented.

As Caroline pondered how to handle the situation, Katie called once again.

Caroline answered immediately, her voice filled with worry. “Mom…”

“Carol, where are you right now?” Katie’s voice trembled.

Anxiously, Caroline asked, “Mom, what’s wrong? Has something happened?”

Katie explained, “A group of men in black suits stormed into the ward earlier, asking if you had

been there.”

“I told them you were here, and they rushed out again. Carol, have you angered someone you

shouldn’t have?”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I haven’t offended anyone. They’re just the security personnel my boss hired to

protect me.”
