Chapter 494 Who Are You Talking To?
Caroline felt her heart sink at the news,
“Is there any other option? I just need one,” Caroline said reluctantly.
Robert replied, “It’s not entirely impossible...”
“Please, tell me,” Caroline urged anxiously.
“You could marry Mr. Jordan or find evidence that he abused the child.”
But Evan couldn’t have abused the child–he was strict but not abusive.
However, did she have to marry Evan?
Even if she agreed, Evan and Draco might not approve.
Caroline propped up her head, troubled by the lack of a viable solution.
“That’s all for today, Mr. Joule. I need some time to think. Thank you,” Caroline said wearily.
“You’re welcome.”
Caroline could only temporarily postpone this matter, as there seemed to be no other way.
She texted Scott: [Are you asleep? Feeling better today? I couldn’t visit. I was too busy.]
Scott: [Don’t worry, I’m much better.]
Caroline: [Great. I’ll bring you soup tomorrow morning.]
Scott: [No need to go back and forth. The hospital provides food. Just pick me up in two days when I’m
discharged.]
Caroline reluctantly agreed.
Meanwhile, at Xander Residence.
Daniella returned home to find Grayson watching TV in the living room. She greeted him and headed
upstairs before Grayson could stop her.
Grayson frowned, concerned about Daniella’s recent haste. He instructed a servant to turn off the
television, got up, and headed upstairs to talk to Daniella.

But the first thing Daniella did upon entering her room was to call Casey.
After a while, Casey answered. “Ella, I thought you were asleep.”
Casey continued drowsily. “I was asleep earlier due to the medication’s side effects. Why are you still up?”
“I just came back from meeting Evan,” Daniella said. “Casey, he agreed to let me take care of Axel.”
Casey smiled faintly but maintained a gentle tone. “Ella, it’s better if you don’t take the risk.”
“Casey! We agreed on this. Why exclude me and fight alone? I’ll take care of Axel and won’t reveal any
weaknesses...”
The door to Daniella’s room opened just as her voice faded.
Grayson entered solemnly. “Ella, who are you talking to so late at night? What do you mean by taking care
of Axel?”
Startled, Daniella hurriedly hid her phone under her pillow.
She forced a stiff smile. “Why are you still awake, Grandpa?”
Suspicion filled Grayson’s gaze. “You greeted me when you came in earlier, remember?”
Daniella’s heart raced. “I forgot because I was in a hurry. Please don’t be upset, Grandpa.”
She helped Grayson to the sofa, attempting to divert his attention.
Grayson looked at her with displeasure. “Tell me, why are you getting involved with the Jordans‘ child?”
Realizing she could no longer hide, Daniella explained, “Axel has been diagnosed with leukemia, and I
want to take care of him...
“You’re confused! Have you forgotten how Evan treated you? And now you want to take care of his child?”
Grayson scolded.
Daniella lowered herself and leaned on Grayson’s thigh. “Please, don’t be angry, Grandpa.”
