All Chapters of Never End: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

“Foolish woman,” snorted Clifford.“She cares for you,” I corrected him.Clifford did not reply to what I had said and not long after, we turned into an alley. In this alley, were two rows of old and dilapidated houses.“Where exactly is your house?” I asked with a frown.“What do you want to know?” replied Clifford with the intention of deflecting away from my question.His question was about what I had asked him yesterday.About the real Caroline that was born in 1995.Since he brought it up, I simply asked, “On my birth certificate it is stated that I was born in 1995, but I was actually born in 1996. So who was born in 1995 then? ”“Caroline, it may be that your parents gave you an extra year during registration! What made you think there’s another Caroline Shaw?” asked Clifford, it was very rare of him to have humoured me.I rolled my eyes at him. “My parents wouldn’t make such a mistake! Clifford, what secrets are you hiding?” “There’s another woman named Caroline Shaw

I walked through the alley using the umbrella as a walking cane for support. Back in the car I was still shocked and started feeling depressed. I never thought that my parents would have treated Cinque the way they did, forcefully having taken one of her kidneys away.She had only been so young then.A girl whose age was barely far from mine.However, even though the both of us were Caroline Shaw, our fates had such a contrast. My assistant felt that I was depressed, and he asked me gently, as he drove. “President Shaw, is something wrong?”“It’s nothing,” I said as I shook my head.I recalled when I stood in front of the door and saw that woman in a floral skirt who resembled Cinque. I felt an inexplicable fear that had welled up in my heart. I did not know what I was afraid of.Perhaps it was guilt.I asked Clifford if the woman was Cinque.“Cinque isn’t in the country,” denied Clifford.That woman had resembled Cinque so much, but it was not her. Yet, she was Clifford’s

Lance was nowhere in sight on the fourth floor, after I left the ward. I pursed my lips in thought, ‘Could he have left already?’Had Lance rushed all the way here just to have visited Loraine for a jiffy?When I went down the elevator, I was startled by the sight of a man who stood tall and straightened at the entrance of the hospital. I immediately knew that Lance had been waiting for me.The rain had subsided quite a bit, it had been drizzling with light wind.Lance had on a thin suit, with a cream-colored shirt inside. On his wrist, he wore a Rolex watch.Lance was extraordinarily tall. He had combed up his black hair, revealing a bright and clean forehead. He was seen holding a black bamboo umbrella, and there had been a glint in his eyes, as if they had contained the brightness of a thousand stars.The vast galaxy in his eyes had been a pure place that I have never been to, and I still did not deserve to have it then.I had fallen in love with another man.A man who looke

‘The Street Where Wind Resides’ had a niche and a plaintive melody. Not many would have resonated with the song unless they had heard it before.Even so, I knew I played the piece well.The audience casted their votes for me.I did not lose, and as the waiter asked if there was anyone who wanted to take on the challenge, the man who wore the traditional suit slowly raised his hand.“I would like to challenge her,” the man said with a shy smile.Surely enough, my guess had been right. He had indeed been the boss. He would have waited till they announced a final winner before he revealed himself.There was not the slightest bit of nervousness in my heart. I could not tell whether I would have lost, but at the very least I knew I had Lance there now.When it came to playing the piano, I had never doubted him.I played a modern piece, while the middle-aged man played Chopin’s Nocturne. He had indeed been worthy of being the hidden boss. I was completely beaten, and I looked at Lanc

I sat on Dixon, wrapped my arms around his neck and laughed, “I’m not the slightest bit of a dummy.”One look had been enough for me to have identified the owner of the cafe.After having heard my reply, Dixon sniffed as if he knew something, and he suddenly had a grave expression on his face. “Did you meet Lance?”“How did you know?” I asked in astonishment.“You have his scent all over you.”Dixon’s expression had been cold. I could not tell him that Lance and I went to a cafe, so I instinctively lied to him, “Before I left, I went to visit Loraine, he was at the hospital as well. We exchanged a few words, and I left soon after with my assistant.”I did not want to lie to him, but I also did not want him to be angry.“Lance visited Loraine?” Dixon asked with his eyebrows furrowed.“Yeah, he finally relented,” I simply said.Dixon stared at me with his eyes probed for a bit. Then he said plainly, “He was never a softhearted person.”“Really now? What scent do I have on my bo

I was touched by Dixon’s actions, but at the same time I had felt anxious about my sickness. I left the kitchen and returned to the room to take the anti-cancer drugs. I had hoped that my condition would improve and not be too hard on me.After taking the drugs, I was reminded of the affair with Cinque. My assistant had been in the Shaw family for many years, if I asked him to have dug deeper into this matter, he would have surely found something.I took out my phone and sent him a message.[Look into the matter of Cinque’s departure for me tomorrow, then help me look into her whereabouts now]I went back down after I sent the text, and Dixon had finished cooking the steak. I took a seat at the dinner table and noticed there were some rose petals on the plate, I was surprised. “Where did they come from?”The rose petals were exceptionally small, it seemed like it was plucked from a flower bud that had yet to bloom.Dixon sliced the steak into small pieces before handing it to m

I pursed my lips in thought and replied, “I’ll keep an eye out.”“Good, get some rest.”Dixon instilled some curiousness in me.I raised my eyes and asked, “How about you?”“I still have some work stuff I have to complete.”I did not want to hold him off any longer, I immediately got up and headed back upstairs. I laid on the bed sleeplessly, I tossed and turned, and could not fall asleep. Dixon finally came to bed around three in the morning. He saw me staring at the ceiling and had asked me curiously, “Did you just wake up, or have you not been sleeping?”I shook my head and said, “I can’t sleep.”Dixon took his shirt off, revealed his firm chest and took me into his arms. “Do you always have trouble sleeping?”. “Yeah, lately it’s been hard for me to fall asleep.”I could not tell what Dixon was deep in thought about, but he caressed my head and said in a gentle tone, “Try to get some sleep, I’m here now.”I closed my eyes when he said that, and perhaps it was his presen

Since Summer wanted to continue the collaboration with the Connors, naturally, I would not have stopped her, and had my assistant go over to discuss related matters with the Connors first. After my assistant left, I was reminded of what Dixon had said to me last night.My heart was in disbelief but I still held some vigilance, I had my secretary bring me Shaw Corporations’ latest financial report.When I looked at the document, there were indeed certain funds where the whereabouts were not clear. Logically, the financial department would not have made such a simple mistake. That was unless someone had already informed them beforehand, which was why they did not purposefully look into the whereabouts of this sum of money. The only people in Shaw Corporations who had such authority was me or my assistant, Chuck.Chuck had been working with me for the past nine years, he knows the corporation in and out.Moreover, I had always trusted him and left all the matters of Shaw Corporations

When I saw Summer, her mental state had been much better. I told her about the encounter I had with Gwen downstairs. She frowned and said in a scornful tone, “Recently, I’ve been seeing her a lot at the hospital, she’s like a lunatic running around the doctor wanting something from him, it seems like she has some mental illness.”Mental illness?Would Gwen have become a psycho because Dixon had not wanted her?I curiously asked, “Would she cause trouble in the hospital?”“She wouldn’t, but I did hear her shouting once that someone named Cinque wouldn’t lie to her,” Summer replied.I was dumbfounded, “Cinque?”How would Gwen have known about Cinque?“Yeah, I don’t know who she is!” Summer sighed and continued, “That woman is really upsetting my appetite, she was annoying in the past, but now I pity her since she’s been acting like a lunatic! However, when I recalled how she hit Joseph with her car previously, I don’t pity her anymore.”Summer and I had felt the same way about Gw

I did not know who Dixon had said that to, but no matter who it was, he betrayed our promise.I was startled and my heart sunk, that feeling had taken me back to the past. The distance between him and I had suddenly felt very far apart. It seemed like all the happiness we shared the past two days had been lies.“When are you returning?” I could hear Dixon’s impatient voice, it sounded like the woman on the other end of the phone call was someone extremely important. My heart felt like it had been hurt physically, I felt like crying at that moment. He had not been in love with me at all, and I then regretted having promised to be with him. Why did I promise to be with him?“Yeah, I’ll come get you in a few days,” Dixon’s words were like a sharp blade lingering inside my heart, I hastily drove myself back to my company.When I sat in my office, I felt confused. It felt like I had suddenly lost my whole world.My assistant returned, he opened the office door and saw me dazing t
