Trapped in Love

Chapter 838 Where Did She Go 

Caroline was slightly shocked. ‘Does Alex know?‘

She gazed at the study, contemplating how Evan would eventually discover the truth from Alex.

“Yes,” she replied.

“Can I meet you?” Alex asked.

Caroline pondered for a moment. “Sure, where are you?”

“Downstairs.”

Caroline glanced outside. ‘Is Alex really here in this pouring rain?‘

“Alright, I’m coming now.”

Placing the snack tray on the windowsill, Caroline descended the stairs.

Upon stepping outside, she found Alex completely drenched in the heavy rain. He looked disheveled, his face devoid of the radiance it held just a few days ago.

The piercingly cold spring rain raised questions about how long he had been standing there.

Caroline opened an umbrella and walked toward Alex to shield him. “Let’s talk inside, Alex. It’s raining too heavily!”

With bloodshot eyes, Alex looked up slowly. “Caroline, does Paige have AIDS?”

Caroline couldn’t help but clutch the umbrella tighter. “Yes.”

“Did she get it from fooling around?” Alex questioned.

Caroline’s concerned expression turned grave. “Alex, why would you doubt Paige like this?”

“Then how did she get it?” Alex’s voice broke.

His face, covered in raindrops, made it hard to distinguish tears from rain.

“I don’t know how she got it, Alex, but don’t you know the kind of person Paige is?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“Since she hasn’t been fooling around, why won’t she tell me about it?” Alex asked angrily.

Caroline replied, “Is this how you see Paige? You know she was a virgin when you slept with her the first time!”

“So what if she was? The fact is, she drinks excessively and hangs out at bars!” Alex’s eyes reddened gradually.

“Is a woman who frequents bars not normal? Who are you to define her based on your ideology?” Caroline rebuked.

“Since she didn’t do that, why won’t she tell me?” Alex roared.

This time, tears were streaming down Alex’s face. Caroline lacked evidence to answer his question.

“Alex, don’t doubt the person you love! If you don’t trust her, don’t claim to love Paige!”

“Can you guarantee she never cheated on me?” Alex questioned.

Caroline affirmed, “I can guarantee Paige is not someone who fools around. I’ve been friends with her for years!”

“If you’re so sure, bring her out to confront me! Is she allowed to be a coward, refusing to face me after she got sick and aborted my child?” Alex nodded.

Caroline frowned. ‘Did Evan not inform Alex about Paige leaving?”

She realized Evan didn’t have the chance due to the situation.

“She has left.”

“Left?” Alex grabbed Caroline’s arm, overwhelmed. His hand was so cold it made her shiver.

“Where did she go?” Alex asked anxiously.

“I don’t know where Paige went. She didn’t tell me. Alex, Paige is hurting just like you. She fears staying in Angelbay will bring back sad memories. She’s the baby’s mother, and her pain runs deeper. She would rather endure everything alone so you won’t be burdened by her illness. Yet, you blame her for fooling around. Is that fair?”

Alex staggered backward, the cold rain falling on him.

Caroline no longer shielded him from the rain.
