CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1701

Chapter 1701 Why Are You Here

“So that's how it is.” Caitlin suddenly realized. “I never knew it could be like this.”

“Yeah.” Joyce nodded. “Moreover, Stanley is a highly skilled doctor and a world-class neurologist. Everyone in this world is afraid of death, especially the wealthy. So, they all treat doctors with great medical skills very well. If Stanley wants to find me, they will definitely help him investigate our whereabouts. Eventually, we will still be found by him.”

These words completely left Caitlin speechless.

Yes, Stanley was indeed very capable. So naturally, many people would seek his help.

Naturally, in order to get Stanley's help, they would do their best to make Stanley happy.

The best way to make Stanley happy was to find Caitlin and Joyce.

In summary, with just one sentence from Stanley, he wouldn't lack the people in the entire world to help find them.

Caitlin sighed, feeling a headache. “What on earth is going on? It seems we really can't leave now.”

“Mm-hmm.” Joyce nodded. “We can't leave anymore. At first, I was really upset about it. But then I thought, it's not so bad to stay.”

“How so?” Caitlin was puzzled.

Joyce grasped Caitlin's hand. “Mom, think about it. The grudge between Stanley and our family has lasted for more than a decade. During all these years, you've rarely met him, and you've never sat down and had a proper talk. That's why the hatred has persisted and never been alleviated. Now that

he's here, once he returns and fully recovers from his injuries, we should have a good talk with him. The hatred between our two families cannot continue indefinitely, or else you and Dad won't be happy for the rest of your lives.”

“So that's how it is.” Caitlin suddenly realized. “I never knew it could be like this.”

Caitlin nodded thoughtfully. “You're right. In that case, let's not leave. We'll stay here. After all, we're not the ones who really caused his parents' deaths. Why should we leave? Leaving would only make us seem guilty. By staying, we're proving that we have nothing to hide.”

“Mom, you're absolutely right in thinking that way,” Joyce said with a smile.

Caitlin gently stroked Joyce's hair. “Thank you for taking care of him during this time. It should have been the responsibility of me and Dad.”

Joyce shook her head. “Mom, don't say that. You and Dad are my parents, so your responsibilities are naturally mine as well. Besides, he specifically asked for me. What could you have done? So, don't overthink it.”

“Even though you say that, as your parents, we can't help but feel somewhat guilty.” Caitlin's eyes reddened.

Joyce smiled and said, “It's alright, Mom. There's nothing to worry about. Besides, I didn't take care of him all the time. I only did it for a few days, and now I'm not doing it anymore. So, I'm actually quite relaxed.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Caitlin snorted. “At least he has some conscience, knowing that your pregnancy is not going well, and letting you stay in the hospital to recuperate. If he had kept making you take care of everything, not only could the child have been lost, but you could have been in danger, too. Even thinking about it now gives me chills.”

Joyce's eyes sparkled for a moment. “Yeah, at least he has some conscience.”

Joyce probably knew that Stanley did this because of his feelings for her.

Otherwise, he wouldn't care whether or not her fetus was healthy, or if there would be any issues.

However, Joyce still decided not to tell her mother about these things.

Once Mom knows, it means Dad will know, too.

If Dad knew about Stanley's feelings for me, with Dad's fiery temper, he would definitely come storming over.

The mother-daughter duo sat in the ward and chatted for almost an hour. When the nurse came to inform Joyce that it was time for her prenatal checkup, they finally stopped talking and went for the examination.

Not long after the prenatal checkup was over, Joyce quickly fell asleep, exhausted.

Gently, Caitlin looked at Joyce's sleeping face lovingly and tenderly stroked the latter's hair. Caitlin tucked Joyce in and prepared to leave. Caitlin planned to return later that evening with a pot of soup.

Just as Caitlin walked out of Joyce's ward with the basket in her hand, she suddenly froze and stopped in her tracks. “What are you doing here?”

There was a person standing outside the door. Upon taking a closer look, it turned out to be Stanley from the neighboring ward.

At this moment, Stanley was not wearing his usual patient's gown, but had changed into a casual outfit. With the silver-framed glasses on his nose, he looked both refined and handsome.
