Chapter 30 May I Ask You a Favor?
Helen didn’t know how many times she had hit, but eventually, she wore out and started feeling quite sleepy.
Leaning back in the chair with her eyes closed, she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.
Finished
Caroline waited for a long while. When she heard the steady sound of breathing in the carriage, she finally opened her eyes and glared at the sleeping Helen.
Since Helen wanted her to be tortured to death in the psychiatric hospital, she should experience what it was like to stay
there herself
The car drove for about half an hour. As the surrounding buildings grew sparser, Caroline estimated they were almost there.
She took two face masks out of her backpack, put one on herself, and then carefully placed the other on Helen.
When the car stopped in front of the psychiatric hospital, two men immediately approached and opened the back door.
Caroline spoke first. “My aunt fell asleep. Please help carry her inside.”
The two men were more than happy to comply. It was even better that she was asleep–less resistance meant less trouble.
Both men were large and strong. One of them easily hoisted Helen onto his shoulder.
To avoid drawing suspicion, Caroline followed them into the hospital
After making sure Helen was settled, she prepared to leave.
Before walking away, she made a point to remind the staff. “My aunt often hallucinates that she’s me. If she says that when she wakes up, it’s just her illness acting up again. Treat her however you need to–whatever will help her recover faster. You don’t have to go easy on her.
It was a veiled instruction: Punish her as needed. There was no need to hold back..
Caroline didn’t go home after leaving the psychiatric hospital.
Instead, she took a taxilto a well–known milk tea shop.
As she pushed the door open, she didn’t notice the woman walking out, and, the two collided head–on.
Thud!
The other woman’s milk tea slipped from her hands and spilled all over the floor.
Caroline quickly crouched down to pick up the cup. “I’m sorry! I’ll buy you another one.”
Only then did she realize–it was the same female doctor she had met last time when looking for Blaake.
Normally, Stella wouldn’t make a fuss over something like this.
But when she saw that it was Caroline, her eyes lit up, and she immediately agreed. “Okay!”
The two of them went back into the shop together. Caroline went to place an order, while Stella found an empty seat to wait.
Before long. Caroline returned with two cups of milk tea and placed one on the table in front of her.
Here’s your tea. I’m really sorry about earlier.”
Stella smiled sweetly. “You already replaced my drink, so there’s no need to apologize again. Just be careful in the future-

“Ms. Somerton, not only do you have flawless skin, but you also have a stunning figure. Any man who marries you would be incredibly lucky. By the way, is there someone you like?”
This was only Caroline’s second time meeting Stella, so being asked such a personal question made her a little uncomfortable. “N–No, I don’t.”
Hearing this, Stella’s eyes lit up with delight.
So what if she has a fiance?
As long as he isn’t someone she actually liked, Blake still has a chance.
The thought made her lips curl into an uncontrollable smile, looking almost lovestruck.
Caroline didn’t notice her change in expression.
Her mind was elsewhere, eyes lowered as she sipped her milk tea, deep in thought.
If she went home tonight, they would find out about sending Helen to the psychiatric hospital.
She absolutely couldn’t let Helen be released so soon.
At the very least, she needed to stay there overnight and suffer a little.
It seemed like she had no choice but to stay at a hotel for the night.
Just as she settled on this plan, another problem popped into her head. Her ID card was at home.
What should she do?
Seeing Caroline furrow her brows in silence, Stella asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
Caroline snapped out of her thoughts, quickly masking the trouble in her eyes with a faint smile. “It’s just some small issues at home.”
She looked at Stella and suddenly thought of a solution: “May I ask you a favor?”
Stella didn’t hesitate and responded enthusiastically, “Of course! As long as it’s something I can do. I’ll definitely help.
“I can’t go home tonight for some reason, but I don’t have my ID with me. Could you please lend me yours to book a hotel.
Toom?”
Caroline knew that most people wouldn’t agree to something like this unless they were close, so she quickly added, “Don’t worry, I’m not doing anything illegal. If you’re concerned, I can give you a 1,000–dollar deposit. If I do anything suspicious. the money’s yours.”
