Naomi woke Charlotte up in the morning. Previously, she had thought that she would be allowed to see Poopoo if she brought Naomi along, so she had been in high spirits. Now, knowing that it would be impossible for her to meet Poopoo today, she grew so tired that she dozed off… She had decided to go back to the car to take a nap while waiting for Naomi to come back.Charlotte, who lay in the car, soon fell fast asleep.“Milady!”“Milady…”Thud!A loud banging noise startled Charlotte and woke her up from her nap.She opened her eyes and immediately saw Lucas’s face pressed up against the car window…Even though Lucas’s features looked out of place due to being squashed against the glass, he still looked outstanding because he was good-looking in the first place.She rubbed her heavy eyelids and lazily rolled the car window down.“What’s with the racket, Luke? Can’t you see that I’m sleeping?”“Hah! That’s just like you, milady! You’re really bold. The Second Master has already
Charlotte nodded. “But you haven’t told me the password to this debit card.”Lucas fiddled with his large earring out of habit.“Oh… I’m such a scatterbrain. I almost forgot that important detail. The Second Master said that the password is the date of your marriage registration five years ago.”Charlotte’s heart was filled with a wave of emotion.As it turned out, it had been more than five years since the day she and Zachary had met.However, why did it feel as if everything had only just happened yesterday?Why, to this day, did she feel such a huge wave of emotion every time she saw Zachary, just like the first time they had met?“Look at them.”Lucas’s voice rang out again.Charlotte turned in the direction of Lucas’s finger…Apparently, the security guard had left the gate momentarily open for Lucas to go back inside, as he had opened the gate when Lucas had walked out.Charlotte looked at the open gap in the gate and saw Naomi, Poopoo, Zachary, Annalita, and Miranda
Charlotte arrived at the hospital.She remembered that Zachary had brought her to an office on the second floor not too long ago to meet Lisa-Luna. This time, she went straight to the second floor and made her way to that office.The door was closed. Charlotte knocked for a very long time, but no one answered.Just as she was about to give up, a gentle voice rang out in the hallway.“Miss Simmons, is something important going on? Is that why you’ve come to visit me? Why didn’t you call me to set up a meeting? What if I were not at the hospital? Wouldn’t you have wasted a trip here?”Charlotte turned toward the voice. It was Lisa-Luna.She smiled.“I know you’re a busy woman. I considered calling you beforehand, but I forgot to ask for your phone number the last time we met, so I thought I’d try my luck.”“You could have asked Mr. Connor for my number!”Lisa-Luna strode forward and patted Charlotte gently on the back.“Okay! We may have encountered an obstacle during our meeti
“I owe Mr. Connor for his acknowledgment. If Mr. Connor had not recognized my talent, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. Generally speaking, I owe all of my achievements to Mr. Connor. I once told him that I would do anything to repay him… It’s been seven years, but he’s never asked for anything in return. Not even four years ago, when Miss Larson was horribly disfigured. He never contacted me at all. I never thought that he’d finally contact me for your sake! Miss Simmons, they say that a man’s true love is his first love, but it seems that Mr. Connor is an exception. You’re his true love.”‘Uh…’Charlotte’s face became as red as a tomato.“Okay. I’m going to administer anesthesia to you. Once it takes effect, you’ll be fast asleep. When you wake up, the surgery will be complete.”Lisa-Luna held a syringe and walked toward Charlotte.She stared at the cold needlepoint of the syringe as it slowly inched toward her skin. Charlotte felt like a leaf shaking in the wind. She was
Charlotte woke up leisurely, only to feel that her limbs were numb and weak and her body was feeling heavy, as if it did not belong to her.“You’re awake!” She heard a clear female voice come from her upper right side. “Congratulations, as expected, the operation went smoothly. If nothing goes wrong, you’ll look exactly the same as in the past when we remove the gauze from your face.”Charlotte looked in the direction the voice was coming from and saw that the person talking to her was Lisa-Luna.She then looked around, realizing that she was now lying on a bed in the ward. There was no one else in this huge ward apart from Lisa-Luna, who was keeping her company by the bed…Lisa-Luna smiled when she noticed the disappointment reflected in Charlotte’s eyes. “You must be looking for Mr. Connor?”Charlotte nodded awkwardly. She then experienced waves of excruciating pain around her mouth and on her face when she was just about to speak, as if her skin was about to crack. “The woun
Charlotte sighed in relief.Coraline, who had already reached the hospital bed, laughed so hard that her jaw was about to drop. “Carlie, you didn’t call my name in full just now. Why not try calling me again, but louder this time?”Charlotte rolled her eyes.At that moment, a big hand patted Coraline’s shoulder. “Cora! How can you be so irrational? The doctor just said that Carlie can’t speak out loud. You’re not deaf, so how can you deliberately try to make Sister Carlie speak loudly?”It was only now that Charlotte noticed Nicholas had also come.“Hah!” Coraline flung Nicholas’s hand away furiously. “Nicky, can’t you even tell that I was just messing around with Carlie? Just look at how afraid you got. Why? Do you think I’m here to hurt Carlie and cause her to be disfigured?”Nicholas took a look at Charlotte and saw that Charlotte was looking at him too. He hurriedly lowered his head and replied unhappily, “How can you joke about such a matter? You’re really not being serious
Charlotte’s eyes looked in the direction of the source of the voice, and she saw Zachary, who was tall and well-built, striding towards her with one step after another.In the ward, the white light looked glittery, and Zachary, who was already a regal man, looked like a dazzling star under the white light, which made him appear even more flawless.Charlotte could not help but stare at him in a daze.It was said that one would eventually get bored if one kept looking at the same face over and over again, no matter how handsome the person was. However, although Charlotte was already very familiar with Zachary, she would still be captivated every time she saw him, and her heart would race…“Huh? I suddenly remembered that today is my mother’s birthday. I need to rush home to celebrate her birthday. Carlie, I’ll leave with Nicky now, okay? We’ll visit you again some other day.”Coraline, who had been sitting by the hospital bed, stood up and pulled Nicholas’s ear at the same time. “Ni
Zachary’s voice was heard abruptly.Charlotte was startled. She knew very well that Zachary was a straightforward and indifferent person. He never repeated his words. When he asked someone about something, he would never ask a second time, but he actually confirmed her condition by asking her repeatedly...She nodded firmly. “You may not know this, but a woman’s face is more important to her than anything else. I’ll take the initiative to tell someone if I sense that something is wrong, so don’t worry, I’m really fine!”“Okay.” Zachary’s dark, thick eyebrows rose. “Then let’s talk about something more important.”‘What?!’The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.‘Is my face not important enough? He actually has something more important than my face to talk to me about?’A second later, she heard Zachary’s voice, which was as melodious as musical notes. “Before you came to the hospital, you asked Lucas to tell me that you’ll marry me after you’ve completed the operation and rega
