Zachary’s clear, charming voice spoke with indifference.Jebediah wanted to cry but couldn’t shed a tear. “Enough with your crocodile tears. The bones in my arms will fuse again, and I’ll remember everything you did to me today! Zachary, you and I are finished!”Even though he couldn’t move his hands anymore, he used his forearms to carry Lorraine and rush to the emergency room.Zachary watched him leave with an indifferent look on his face.No one saw the sadness buried deep in his gaze.Charlotte stared at him in a daze.In the past, she would have buried herself into his arms, overwhelmed with emotion.However, the pain caused by the loss of her child filled her heart like lava, burning her and numbing all other feelings. She didn’t even feel the pain on her face.‘Poopoo!’That adorable little baby was the only thing consuming her mind.She stared at Zachary’s face, and his face seemed to gradually shrink in her eyes, turning into the little baby’s smooth, tender little f
Charlotte was in a trance.Upon further consideration, Zachary might have said that he believed her when she had asked him if he believed her or the two doctors, but he had not seemed enraged at all. He had simply told Lorraine “give us our baby back” in a casual manner…He had never pursued the matter with Lorraine again. Instead, he had allowed her to leave the room.This was indeed unusual!“Do you know what happened to the two doctors who did the DNA test on you and Poopoo?” Coraline’s voice rang out in Charlotte’s ears again.Charlotte blinked.“They lied to Zachary, so they must be suffering by now.”“I knew it. Just as I thought. You’d expect that too…”Coraline smiled helplessly.“But the truth is, after you ran out of the room to catch Lorraine, Zachary told them to go back to their posts and continue working. Do you know why?”The bad feeling in Charlotte’s heart was growing stronger and stronger. Her voice shook. “Because… Zachary never even…”She wanted to say th
She stopped three steps away from Zachary and spoke.“I’ve pretty much figured it out, but I’d like a confirmation from you. You never believed the things I said when I woke up, did you?”Zachary opened his thin lips, then closed them again.Upon closer inspection, one would notice a slight hint of panic in this incomparably strong man, but it was almost unnoticeable.Charlotte lifted her face.“You don’t have to be too concerned about my feelings. I just want the truth. Just tell me.”Zachary frowned.Then, he took a deep breath but couldn’t bring himself to say a single word.This was the first time the fearless Zachary had ever been so afraid to speak in front of someone else.In the past, he had never thought that he, a regal man, would actually be unable to say the word “yes” simply because he was afraid of hurting a girl…All he could do was shoot Lucas a pleading gaze for help.“Uh… Milady, may we speak in private?” Lucas reacted by tugging at Charlotte’s sleeve with
Charlotte pulled her phone out of the pond.Luckily, her phone was waterproof. She could still use it after turning it on.She gave Rufus a call.“Why hello, neighborhood princess. Miss me?” Rufus, who was lounging on a luxury yacht, squinted his extremely unique violet eyes until they were small slits.Charlotte sighed.“Sigh! Why does your tone of voice sound so relaxed? I thought you promised me that you’d follow Lorraine and Jebediah? It’s been a long time. Why haven't there been any developments?”“My dear, you’ve misunderstood me!”Rufus seemed aggrieved. “I haven’t had a day’s rest since I agreed to help you. Ahem! Except today… However, I’m not exactly slacking off either. It’s because Lorraine and Jebediah are both in the same hospital as you. Why should I make the extra effort to follow them? Mm… Speaking of stalking, have you sent someone else to follow them?”Charlotte shook her head. “No.”“Mm! That means that you’re not stupid enough to send a completely inex
‘Why was sex the first thing on my mind when I heard the word “impropriety”? But Lorraine and Jebediah aren’t really married, and Lorraine is deeply in love with Zachary. She would never do that with Jebediah…’“We’re both adults. How much clearer do I have to be in that matter?”Nicholas raised his thick brows, and his eyes filled with a grin.“I was hiding under their car when she and Jebediah were having sex. Unfortunately, the car windows were tinted, so I couldn’t record anything. Hehe! Lorraine! She’s always boasting about how much she loves Zachary, but she’s no different from Tiffany at all. She’s a sl*t who resorts to such scandalous methods to get into a man’s good graces and achieve her goals.”‘Oh my God!’Charlotte was so shocked that she was speechless.She knew that Lorraine’s love for Zachary wasn’t an act. She had initially thought that Lorraine would certainly keep herself pure out of her love for Zachary and that she would keep every other man at bay. But… Lo
At Special Ward 119...Jebediah lay on the hospital bed, remembering how Zachary had mercilessly broken his arms. His icy pupils filled with a chill.Lorraine, who sat by his bed, glared resentfully at his plastered and bandaged hands.“You poor thing, Jebediah. Zach was so forceful with you that the doctor said you wouldn’t be able to move your hands for two weeks. You’ll need at least a month before everything goes back to normal.”Jebediah’s throat quivered, and his expression was one of agony.Lorraine shook her head. “I’ve told you, Carlie’s completely warped Zachary’s mind. He was actually cruel to me, and you are no exception. He wouldn’t show you any mercy if you hurt Carlie. See? He’s pretty much proven my words.” Jebediah gnashed his white teeth.“You’re right, Lory. I don’t blame Zach. It’s all that tramp, Charlotte’s fault. I won’t let her get away with this.”“Hehe… That’s right! You won’t let her get away with this. You’ll make her regret not leaving Zach sooner.
Charlotte couldn’t seem to feel hungry and refused to eat, even when the maid called her for dinner.The sky gradually darkened. She was afraid of the dark, yet she did not turn on the light. She simply sat in her spot like a puppet, and tears streamed down her face over and over again. Her face became wet before it could dry, over and over again.Charlotte finally felt sleepy at 02:00 a.m.She decided to wash her face first.She pushed open the bedroom door and saw that the light in the living room was still on. Zachary stood in front of the couch in his pajamas, staring at a picture.She quickly hid the picture in his hand when he heard the door open and spoke in an even tone.“It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”“I’m going to bed after washing my face.”Charlotte looked at his left hand, which held the picture…She saw it. That was a photograph of Poopoo.She had also seen the suffocatingly melancholic look in his eyes when he was staring at Poopoo’s picture.It was no
Charlotte did not go to the film studio for filming over the next few days.She knew that this wasn’t right.Less than a third of The First Sorceress Princess was complete. As the main female lead, backing out at this point was highly irresponsible to her, Dickson, and the entire crew.However, Poopoo’s death seemed to have sucked the soul out of her. She simply couldn’t summon the motivation to dedicate herself to a job. She locked herself in the house all day and couldn’t even bring herself to walk out the courtyard gates.She was currently sitting on a swing in the courtyard, staring into space.“Ahem!”A dry cough suddenly rang aloud from behind her.‘Wait a minute! That cough… Why did it sound like Bryson’s…’Charlotte turned around. Her mind was filled with complex emotions. However, she saw a janitor dressed in his uniform, holding a broom in one hand and a trash can in the other, walking toward the garbage area in the distance.‘Sigh!’The joy in Charlotte’s eyes turn
