NovelOnlineChapter 459 Too Rational
Scott casually mentioned, I glanced back before leaving and remember seeing Carol slap Evan.”
“What? She slapped that scumbag?” Kenny exclaimed.
Neil nodded. “She believed Lily’s passing was closely linked to Evan.”
“I’d think the same if I were in her shoes, given that my boss commissioned the medical team,”
Paige said between bites of her food.
The group turned their attention to Paige.
Paige, feeling bewildered, asked, “Why are you all looking at me?”
“Women think straightforwardly. If the scumbag wanted revenge on Caroline, he wouldn’t use
such an obvious tactic,” Kenny remarked.
Scott added, “Vital signs can drop during surgery, resulting in death.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil chimed in. True, mishaps occur, but we can’t rule out the possibility of tampering.”
Kenny looked perplexed. “You make it sound so mysterious. Have you been reading too many
mystery s?”
Neil asked, “What do you mean?”
Kenny put down his spoon and clarified, “The hospital belongs to the scumbag. The person must
be skilled to attempt something in his presence. According to your theory, they likely have a
grudge against him and aim to involve him with Carol.”
Paige gasped. “In that case, Daniella seems the most motivated.”
Neil disagreed, “I don’t think she’s capable of this.”
Paige retorted, “What do you mean? She’s even capable of hiding a murder.”
Kenny, shocked, asked, “A murder? How did I miss this?”
The group collectively judged Kenny for being so uninformed.
Scott cautioned, “Don’t make unfounded speculations without evidence.”
Paige sighed in Scott’s direction. “You’re too forgiving.”

Neil observed Scott and wondered why he remained so impartial when someone he loved had
been hurt in these incidents.
Did Scott have a unique perspective or hidden intentions?
Scott seemed to notice Neil’s gaze, so he met Neil’s eyes and smiled calmly. “Do you find me too
rational?”
Neil looked away, unsure of what experiences had made Scott so analytical.
Scott continued. “Maybe I’ve seen too much death and separation.”
Neil played with his mug, pondering Scott’s cryptic statement. He found Scott hard to read but hoped

After dinner, Paige went home, and Neil left for some work matters. Kenny entertained the two children
while Scott delivered a meal cooked by Eira to Caroline.
He knocked on her door.
Caroline’s hoarse voice invited him in.
Scott entered and frowned as he saw Caroline curled up on the sofa. He placed the food tray on the
coffee table. “You should eat.”
“I don’t feel like eating,” Caroline replied apathetically.
Scott sat beside her and offered gently, “Would you like to hear a story?”
Caroline looked at him and agreed, “Sure.”
Scott picked up a glass of water and began, “When I was five, I witnessed my mother threaten my
father with her own death for abandoning us. I’ll never forget the look in my father’s eyes. He
watched my mother hold a knife to her wrist without a trace of pity. In fact, his eyes were filled
with contempt and disgust.”
