Chapter 450 Passed Away
“Why? Why is this happening?”
Caroline’s fists clenched, and she collapsed to the floor. Tears streamed down her face, blurring
her vision.
“What have I done wrong? Why do the people closest to me always get taken away? Why?”
Scott knelt beside her. “This isn’t your fault, Carol…”
Caroline leaned forward slowly. “I couldn’t give Lily a good retirement life… I never got to repay

Evan received Deric’s guilt–ridden call, announcing Lily’s death due to a failed surgery.
Evan’s face turned serious as he pictured Caroline’s despair. He gritted his teeth and said, “I paid

closest family, so you didn’t give it your all, did you?”
The doctors exchanged puzzled glances, hindered by a language barrier.
Caroline’s cries grew louder at their response.

at the doctors.
Scott grabbed her hands and said, “Calm down, Carol!”
He signaled to one of the doctors to have Lily taken away.
The doctor nodded, exchanged soft words with the nurses, and moved the stretcher away.
Caroline desperately wanted to follow Lily after noticing that.
Scott held her tightly. “They are just doctors, Carol!”
“Let go of me! They weren’t like this when they had me sign the consent forms!” Caroline
screamed.
Unable to free herself, she watched helplessly as Lily was wheeled away.
Despairingly, she cried out, “Why Why did you lie to me?”
