He stopped, turned back and stared at her, “What do
you
mean?”

She gave a bitter laugh, “I lied to you. I wasn’t the one who saved you. I can tell you who she is, but
you
have to promise me one thing. As long as you promise, I’ll never show up in front of you and Charlotte again.”
A week later.
Charlotte’s stitches were removed from her right hand, but she still couldn’t hold anything, not even chopsticks.
Penelope looked at her worriedly, “If you keep this up, will you really not be able to hold a scalpel in the future?”
“Take your time to recover, you’re still young, you’ll get better.”
She was the one who got hurt, but she was still comforting herself. There was a bit of pain in Penelope’s eyes,
“The person who hurt you is just awful. Why can’t people like that just die!”
Charlotte looked at the scar on her right hand, her expression calm.
These past few days, every time I thought of that red mole on Caroline’s wrist.
She thought it was ironic.
Her adoptive parents were killed by their biological daughter. Such a dramatic ending was really sad and ridiculous.
Not long after Penelope left, a group of people came to the hospital room, all carrying heavy gifts in their hands.
It was the first time Charlotte had met Mrs. Kendall in
person.
Just like Lexie, she was a beautiful woman with her own unique charm.
When Lenora first saw Charlotte, she felt like Charlotte looked like someone, but she couldn’t remember who for a moment. “You must be Charlotte, right? Sorry, I misunderstood you
earlier.”
“Mrs. Kendall’s misunderstanding, was it just letting someone stab my hand with a knife?”
Lenora froze.
Totally didn’t expect her answer.
She already checked what happened before and after, and she really was used in this.
“I didn’t know Caroline would treat you like that, I just wanted to lock you up for a bit, I didn’t do anything else, but I didn’t expect her to use me.” Lenora looked a bit uneasy as she said this.

Growing up, I actually got used by a junior just because of a rash decision.
It also caused an accident.
Let’s not talk about easing things with my son–it probably just got even more awkward.
Charlotte lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything.

Lenora told them to put down the gift, then went over and sat by the bed. “I’m really sorry, I never wanted to see you get hurt. If I saw Caroline right now, I definitely wouldn’t let her off!”
“I appreciate Mrs. Kendall’s apology. As for the gift, it’s too expensive. Please take it back.”
“If you didn’t take it, I wouldn’t feel at ease.”
Charlotte didn’t expect Mrs. Kendall to be a bit difficult. She argued with her for a while before finally agreeing to accept it. Mrs. Kendall broke into a smile and started asking her how she was doing, and the change in attitude left Charlotte stunned.
Nigel was standing right outside the door at that moment.
He looked through the window and saw what was inside, but in the end he didn’t

He turned around and met his
Yes,You want me to go in?”
Jaxson didn’t say anything.
At that moment, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened.
It was Lenora.
When she saw it was her own son, she didn’t even have time to feel happy. Her Jaxson’s face and she suddenly froze, “Is… that Jaxson?”

Jaxson nodded, his eyes glancing at the gift in the bodyguard’s hand in the hospital room, “Mrs. Kendall really went out of her way for my wife.”
“Your wife?” Lenora was surprised.
“Mr. Kendall didn’t tell you?” He smiled lightly, like making a vow, “Charlotte is my wife.”
Lenora looked at the silent Nigel, then at Charlotte on the hospital bed, then at Jaxson.
Her head was about to explode.
But still kept a smile on the face, “How come I wasn’t told about your marriage by the Hamilton family?”
“My mom didn’t allow.”
When Victoria was mentioned, Lenora just smiled and said nothing, and didn’t ask
anymore.

Nigel glanced at Charlotte, seemed to make sure of something, then left feeling at ease.
Lenora saw her son leave, so she didn’t stay any longer and said goodbye.
The ward got quiet really fast.
Jaxson walked to the bed at a steady pace and tucked her in. “Grandma knew you got was really worried.”
Charlotte’s eyelids twitched and she said, “I’ll contact her.”
“Caroline’s right hand was disabled.”
He was very calm.

So that when she finished saying this, Charlotte couldn’t even catch any change in his eyes when she met his gaze.
“She wouldn’t show up in front of
you again.”
Charlotte couldn’t help but press her lips together.

She saw this man’s ruthlessness over these six
years.
But only to her.
But now his determination to break it off with Caroline was something she totally didn’t see coming.
Are all men the same.
When I loved someone, I could spoil them unconditionally.
When there was no love, was there only coldness and cruelty left?
“What were you thinking?”
He suddenly came closer, his breath mingling with hers, and his warm fingertips gently pressed and stroked her cheek.
Charlotte understood the forbearance in his eyes.
He wanted to kiss her.
Charlotte leaned back, pulling away from his hand, “Jaxson, if I was the one who stabbed Caroline, would you treat me the same way you treated her?”
His face froze without a trace, and in a flash, he was unreadable.
He didn’t answer her question.
At least, he didn’t want to lie to her.
If it was the old him, could he really say no way?
Charlotte understood and smiled, “I thought you would say you wouldn’t, just to please me.”

“Charlotte.” Jaxson’s chest heaved. “I’m sorry.”
“If you really felt sorry for me, could you…”
“Couldn’t.”

He froze, looking at her face, and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m not getting a divorce.”
“But was it fun for us like this?”
“I could accept that you didn’t love me now, but I would try.” Jaxson’s fingers brushed through her hair, “I’d try to make you care about me.”

Charlotte froze for a moment, then looked away from him.
“I was sleepy.”
