    “Charlotte! Wake up!” Her eyelids flutter as Edward's soft but insistent voice pulls her from sleep. She stirs beside him, having spent the entire night taking care of him. “Mm? Are you okay? What's wrong?” she gasps, panic setting in as she scans the dimly lit room, her vision still blurry from sleep. “Don’t panic. I’m fine,” Edward reassures her in a soothing tone. “Then why? Are you hungry? Should I reheat the porridge?” she asks, stifling a yawn and rubbing her tired eyes. “I’m sorry, but I need to eat something right now. I haven’t had anything all day!” His voice carries a note of guilt. He had tried to hold back from waking her up, wishing he could have managed on his own. But it wasn’t feasible in his condition, and he didn’t want to cause Charlotte more trouble. “Okay. I’ll prepare something for you. You should stay still. Don’t move. The fever has finally gone,” she says, pressing her hand gently on his forehead and then comparing it to her own to gauge the temperature.

    “Can you help me with this? I want to punish my parents' murderers!” Charlotte addresses Lauren, who is stirring his coffee. He has been silently reviewing all the documents she provided, taking in every piece of information. “It’s possible. However, how did you find out that the property is under your name? I’m sure they wouldn’t want anyone to know about it!” Charlotte frowns and replies, “I asked my sister; she sent me a copy. Here it is!” She pulls out the files she printed before coming here. Shayne had sent her a copy of the land deeds yesterday. “I see. Don’t worry about it. I will do my best to investigate this,” Lauren assures her. “Thank you, Mr. Lauren. I’m at a loss for what to do right now. My life has turned into a lie overnight.” She offers a sad smile while gathering her things. But Lauren stops her. “Shall we have lunch together?

    It is probably for the best... Charlotte gazes at Edward, who sleeps soundly with her nestled in his embrace. The early morning light transforms into a vivid, refreshing scene, amplified by the sight of her husband upon waking. His face, the first thing she sees each morning, sends her heart racing. Her eyes flutter as she takes in his serene, handsome visage. The familiar frown on his forehead is absent today, making him look extraordinarily captivating. With a gentle touch, she places her hand on his chest, lifts slightly, and presses a tender kiss to his lips. Her cheeks flush with a warm, shyness.
