“The General Hospital of Rothesay, call me when you’ve arrived. I’ll wait for you at the gate of the ward building.” Charlotte got rid of the toast that she had just taken a bite out of and dashed toward the door without even washing her face.“Miss, you haven’t eaten anything for 24 hours. Why are you running around after eating only such a small amount of food? Come back and eat some more…” The caregiver nagged anxiously.Unfortunately, Charlotte had disappeared from her sight long ago.Charlotte, who could not wait to see Nicholas, drove to the General Hospital of Rothesay at almost the speed of a race.When she reached the hospital entrance, she realized that there was no way to drive her car into the hospital.The hospital’s courtyard was packed with people as if it was a shopping mall that was having huge sales. And there were many reporters among these people.Charlotte was now a very well-known celebrity and could not make public appearances in crowded places. Therefore,
Nicholas strode to Charlotte and embraced her excitedly. “Sister Carlie, my sister told me that you changed your appearance after I woke up. Although you have someone else’s face, I can recognize you at first glance. Your figure and temperament haven’t changed a bit.”Charlotte patted Nicholas’s back with both hands as tears started gushing down. “Nicky, although you’ve been in a coma for more than four years, you’ve grown up by four years too. But you’re still as reckless as you were four years ago. You’ll smother me to death if you continue to embrace me like this.”Only then did Nicholas realize that he was hugging Charlotte too tightly, so he released her immediately, looked down at her face carefully, and smiled with tears.“My sister told me that Zachary had asked the doctors to take care of me on your behalf for the past four years. He’s also asked the doctor to wake me up with a rare medication because of you. So I may have never woken up again if it weren’t for you. Thank y
A strange emotion flashed across Zenios’s sapphire eyes. “What are you looking at?”Charlotte smiled. “I’m looking at the Zenios who’s shaved his beard and looks much better than the Zenios who had an overgrown beard!”She amused Zenios.In the next second, Charlotte’s smile receded, and she said solemnly. “Zenios, I know that you asked Mr. Barkley to come to me, and I also know that you sincerely hope that I’ll do well. I don’t want to thank you, but I want you to know that I’m still who I was back then. You’ll always be as important to me as my family.”‘Family!’Zenios was well aware that Charlotte considered him as her brother and family member deep down!This showed that he was as important to her as her father and Coraline, and she would do anything for him.However, he did not feel proud about it at all!Yes!He certainly hoped that he owned a very important space in her heart.What he wanted, however, was not to be her brother but her lover…Charlotte pointed at the
“Carlie, it seems that you still hate me even though it’s been so many years. Otherwise, you wouldn’t look so disappointed after seeing me in this condition.”Tiffany approached Charlotte step by step with the help of a nurse.Charlotte sneered. “I got it now. Zachary did say before that you’d be used as the lab rat of the experiment before the medicine could be administered to Nicky. The experiment turned out to be a success, and you woke up as a result!“Yes! I’m both disappointed and regretful. This is all because of my negligence. I should’ve stopped Zachary when he said that he wanted to participate in the human trial with you as a test subject. You don’t deserve to wake up. You should have just been a vegetable for the rest of your life!”“Oh really?” Tiffany chuckled instead of losing her head. “That’s a pity, Charlotte. There’s no such thing as a rewind button in this world. Anyway, you’re responsible for waking me up. For that, I am grateful to you.”“You—” Charlotte was
“Miss, you’re really not up to date. This is colossal news, yet you haven’t heard? Tiffany Miller, who’s been comatose for four years and five months has miraculously woken up!”The girl pointed at the patient building.“I’m sure you must’ve heard of Tiffany Miller, no matter how much you don’t care about the entertainment circle. Four years ago, it was reported that she was madly in love with our nation’s prince charming, Zenios, while shooting a period film. The news shook the entire entertainment industry as soon as it broke. Unfortunately, on the day of her wedding to Zenios, someone knocked her out. Then, she went on with her life, but she was barely alive. She only woke up today.”“Oh, I see…”Charlotte suddenly understood.“However, even though Tiffany was Zenios’s wife, she didn’t finish the film that she was making that year, and the film didn’t make it into theaters. She’s only famous because of Zenios. She’s not even considered a celebrity. Why are so many people here t
Renata sobbed even harder when she heard what Charlotte had said.“That’s why I’m so anxious. I’ll need a lot of money for the emergency procedure, but you know that I barely make ends meet every month. I don’t have that much money. I just got off the phone. I called every relative and friend I have, but no one would lend me the money.”Charlotte was shocked.“You mentioned that your dad needed a lot of money for surgery. How much do you need?”“15,500 dollars,” Renata replied, sticking out one finger.“I see…” Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t worry, Renata. I’ll lend you the money. I’ll transfer 15,500 dollars to your account later.”“Tiria, no... Miss Simmons, thank you!”Renata was filled with a mixture of joy and excitement. She burst into tears again.Charlotte shrugged. She pointed at the hospital entrance. “Alright, stop crying. Your father’s waiting for his surgery, isn’t he? Go and pay the doctor so that he can save your father.”“Mmm.”Renata nodded. She go
She used to frequently transfer money to Renata via Paypal in the past. Thus, the top name on her list of transfers was Renata’s. She immediately transferred 15,500 dollars to her, then gave the rest of the money back to Zenios.She might treat Zenios as a younger brother, but even siblings needed to separate their finances. She might be a pauper now, but she couldn’t use Zenios’s money for no reason.Charlotte got in her car.Soon, Renata gave her a call.“Carlie, the doctor is operating on my father now. He says that my father will be alright. Thank you.”Charlotte relaxed. “You’re welcome.”She was about to end the call when Renata spoke up. “Oh, by the way, Carlie. Have you heard about Virginia and Melina?”The tips of Charlotte’s fingers trembled when she heard their names.“What happened to them?”“I guess you don’t know. They were both shot dead yesterday morning.”Renata spoke in a casual tone.Charlotte, however, felt as if she had heard a clap of thunder on a clear
“Mr. Connor asked me to tell you that if you want to enter this house, the only way to do it is by marrying him. Otherwise, you can camp out here until the apocalypse, but he won’t move.”The security guard’s voice rang clearly in Charlotte’s ears.Charlotte’s fingers trembled violently. It took her a while to calm down before she found her voice again.“Zachary has gone too far! Why is he doing this to me?”“Sigh!”The security guard sighed.“Miss Simmons, allow me to speak up for Mr. Connor. You know how many women in Rothesay have been cracking their heads to find a way to marry Mr. Connor? Mr. Connor does not care about those women and is single-mindedly trying to convince you to marry him. Is he not good enough for you? Would marrying Mr. Connor put you at a disadvantage? He only wants one thing from you. If you marry him, won’t you have everything?”‘Uh…’Charlotte was speechless.She knew that Zachary had always let her have her way.The reason he had become this way w
