Flash Marriage to a Stunning CEO (Alistair and Richard)

Chapter 185

Chapter 185 The Secret She Shouldn't Know

"You alright? Don't be so nervous. Grandma's strong. She'll be fine," Alistair said gently, the last shred of worry melting from his chest the moment the system notified him.

"Cancer cells cleared successfully."

But Caroline didn't know that.

She had no idea Mabel had been living with cancer.

The second fainting spell had completely shaken her. Maybe it was the unspoken bond between family, but something deep inside her had sensed this coming.

By the time she rushed into the hospital, the sharp, sterile smell of disinfectant had already overwhelmed her. Always known for keeping her composure, Caroline actually doubled over, gagging from the anxiety.

Alistair couldn't imagine how she'd react if she knew the truth.

She'd never be able to handle it.

Thankfully, he had resolved everything quietly.

He gently rubbed her back and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Caroline shook her head, eyes red, voice soft and fragile. "I just... I have a really bad feeling. Grandma's always been so healthy. She exercises every day. Ever since that one serious illness when I was a kid, she's barely even caught a cold. But now, two fainting spells in a row? I don't know why, but I just feel so uneasy..."

Alistair continued rubbing her back, his voice low and soothing. "Do you trust me?"

Caroline straightened slightly, her tear-filled eyes meeting his.

She hadn't slept a wink the night before, and it showed. Her complexion was ghostly pale, her lips drained of all color. She looked like a porcelain doll that might shatter from a single touch.

Alistair's heart ached for her. He reached out instinctively and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

Caroline wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "I trust you. Grandma's going to be okay."

Maybe it was psychological, but the second she heard those words, her heart finally began to settle.

They didn't linger near the restrooms. Their minds were still.
