Chapter 14 Investigating Her
Blake dodged the question, replying vaguely, “At least someone seems a little normal.”
Miguel felt awkward, unsure how to respond.
Today, he and Fabian had been wrong to doubt their sister.
Blake explained Caroline’s condition to him, and after confirming it wasn’t serious, Miguel offered a few words of advice before leaving.
Now, only Blake and Caroline remained in the ward.
She exhaled in relief, glad there was no more arguing
Clancing at the mess on the ground, she smiled at Blake in embarrassment. ‘Sorry, I lost my temper and threw food at him. I’ll clean it up.”
Caroline got out of bed, planning to grab a mop from the bathroom
But Blake stopped her. “You need to rest. Don’t bother with it. I’ll call someone to handle it.”
Since he insisted, Caroline didn’t argue and lay back down.
Not long after, a cleaner arrived.

The cleaner, however, remained respectful “Miss, it’s no trouble at all

Since Caroline was treated with special care by the boss, the cleaner assumed she must have a remarkable background.

Before long. Blake entered the ward carrying a medicine box and approached Caroline. His voice was gentle.
“Your burn has broken skin. If left untreated, it could easily get infected.

Earlier, when she left the ward to find a nurse after her IV drip, be happened to see her.
He immediately noticed her injured hand and asked about it. However, when he offered to treat it, she stubbornly insisted it was nothing serious.
Caroline nodded and extended her injured hand
Blake leaned down and carefully applied disinfectant.
‘Does it hurt?”

Wren glanced at Caroline, showing no surprise–only a forced smile. “Oh, you’re back?”
Caroline didn’t bother to look at Wren and walked straight to her room.

Wren’s voice rang out behind her. “Too bad you picked the wrong time to come home. Your brothers took Ms. Helen to a five–star restaurant for a fancy dinner.”
Caroline hesitated mid–step. “Why?”
“Ms. Helen designed a few more hit outfits and made the company a ton of money. Your brothers were so thrilled they decided to celebrate,” Wren said smugly, as if she were the one being praised.
Caroline’s expression stiffened. A bad feeling crept over her, and she hurried to her room.
She yanked open a drawer and found it was empty. Her designs were gone.
Damn it!
She had poured countless nights into those designs before her rebirth.
Helen had stolen them while she was hospitalized.
