Chapter 182


    Charlotte was still in a daze. She raised her hand and subconsciously grabbed Shane''s arm. Then,


    she smiled.


    Yesterday she was muddled because she had drunk too much. And today? She was muddled


    because she had a fever?


    Shane sat down beside her, allowing her to grab his arm. "I didn''t expect you to be so weak. Did


    you get a fever from having a shower?"


    "Are youughing at me?" She closed her eyes and snorted.


    "That''s right."


    "Shouldn''t you tell yourself off? You were the one who made me this way. I was perfectly fine


    before."


    Shane smiled and gently pinched her cheek. "Who was the one who disturbed me first?"


    "Fine, I won''t bother you in the future anymore. Don''t me me this time."


    Only one word could be used to describe her.


    Small.


    Even when she was in a daze, she still kept the purest feelings and respect for him. Even if she was


    hurt, she was still afraid that he would me her.


    Was she the same way with Rick?


    Was she so vulnerable and weak that she needed to be protected by others?


    But this same woman has used 3 million dors to obtain a recording that could turn the tables for


    him.


    What kind of person was she? Perhaps he had never seriously tried to understand her.


    All of a sudden, Charlotte fell asleep. Shane stared at her for a while, then got up and left the ward.


    Rick had been waiting for him at the door for a long time.


    "Are you done talking?"


    "She''s asleep."


    "The doctor said that she hadn''t had sex in a long time, so she got infected. What''s more, her pores


    were all open after the shower, so her body is very fragile. He said that you''re a scumbag." Rick


    became more and more aggravated as he said this.


    "I''ll bring Tiffany back as soon as possible. After we get married, I''ll leave her to you."


    "Leave her?" Rick thought.


    Rick gave him a punch and said, "I don''t need you to leave her to me, and she''s not an item either!"


    Shane could have dodged, but he didn''t. He allowed himself to be hit to the wall.


    The intense pain enabled him to experience the simplest feeling in this world.


    "If you like her, why don''t you treat her well? If you don''t care about her at all, why do you hurt her?


    Do you know what she told me when she came back? She said she''s sorry. She was impulsive, but


    can you do such a thing just because she was impulsive?" Rick grabbed Shane''s cor.


    He had been holding back ever since he saw Shane.


    He endured it over and over again.


    He couldn''t bear it anymore.


    Shane had no expression on his face at all. His face was so cold that it was like a corpse''s.


    Rick suddenly felt that there was no point to be angry with Shane. He loosened his grip and spat. "I


    will take good care of her and Sheryl. If you still have any conscience left, you should make things


    easier and ask her to leave the next time she tries to help you."


    Rick entered the ward.


    All the people walking in the hospital corridor were staring at Shane and guessing what his story


    with Rick was.


    Cole, who hade with Shane, went forward submissively and said, "Mr. Fuller, shall we leave


    now?"


    "Cole, what do you think of me?"


    "This..."


    "Regarding Charlotte."


    Cole was silent for a while. He thought about Charlotte''s usual personality, he finally decided to tell


    him the truth. "Mr. Fuller, you know that Sheryl is your daughter. Five years ago, you almost died. If


    it wasn''t for Miss Charlotte, you might already be dead."


    "Let''s ignore what happened five years ago. With the matter with the programmer, people obviously


    are not confident about NC Company. She had sessfully obtained evidence using her position as


    someone in the Jane Corporation. Even if you don''t care about her giving birth to a child for you and


    only think about how she treats you, you shouldn''t be talking about marrying Miss Allen."


    "Besides, you were the one who initiated the divorce. It''s good enough that Miss Charlotte is willing


    to let go of the past and help you. What else do you want her to do?"


    What else did he want her to do?


    Shane knelt down and hugged his legs, saying, "Can''t you leave me?"


    Shane didn''t know what he was expecting, and he didn''t know why he was disappointed.


    He raised his hand to rub his forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "When she gets better, get a


    lawyer to talk to her and give her a sum of money. We''ll write this offpletely."


    "You... are insulting Miss Emerson''s dignity."


    "If she thinks so, I don''t care."


    Cole was speechless.


    Cole could only sigh.


    "Mr. Fuller was actually afraid that he would end up in a miserable position after giving away his


    feelings, wasn''t he?" Cole thought.


    However, when it came to love, it didn''t matter who had the upper hand. It was alright to show


    weakness.


    If he prioritized his own self- esteem and feeling alone... if no one bothered to improve the


    rtionship or taking the initiative to solve problems, even a happy marriage would fall apart.


    Let alone the two of them, who were walking on thin ice.


    "s!" "Could it be that Mr. Fuller is really going to marry Tiffany?"


    Cole couldn''t even imagine it.


    There was something up with that woman''s private life.


    Charlotte took the check from Cole and turned around to give it back to Shane.


    She hadn''t asked for the 50 million dors back then. Now, she didn''t want his so-called


    pensation" and "thanks".


    After she was discharged from the hospital, her body was still extremely weak. Rick simply gave her


    a vacation until the new year.


    Fortunately, the Jane Corporation didn''t need her for anything big.


    After the new year, Charlotte felt that she was getting much better. She was eager to go back to


    work.


    Rick pulled her from the car and into the house. "Have a good rest at home."


    "Rick, I really want to go to work." Charlotte grabbed his sleeve.


    "And pass out after you get there?"


    "No, I won''t. I''ve recovered from my fever."


    "Take one more day off."


    In the end.


    Charlotte still did not seed in going to work.


    She noticed the date unintentionally, only to find that tomorrow was the day she had arranged to


    meet Christopher. Fortunately, Rick did not agree to let her go to work. Otherwise, she would have


    to ask for leave tomorrow...

    Charlotte got up from the bed and drew a small circle on the calendar. She hoped that she would


    not forget about this matter tomorrow.


    The next day.


    Charlotte woke up early in the morning. Before Rick could get up, she had already arrived at the


    church that she had agreed to meet Christopher in.


    She had said before that she wanted to pray at church. She never thought that she would end up at


    one so soon.


    It was early morning, there weren''t a lot of people at the church yet. She bought and lit candles to


    pray at a pew.


    "I didn''t expect you to be religious."


    Charlotte was praying at a pew when she heard Christopher''s voice behind her.


    She turned around with a smile and said, "Things were not going well for me before. So I came to


    church to seek guidance."


    "Aren''t you curious about why I arranged to meet here?"


    "I''m curious, but I''d prefer for you to tell me."


    "My mother is here."


    Charlotte was stunned and asked tentatively, "Is your mother a nun?"


    "No, she became a nun after Theodore''s death."


    Theodore Fuller.


    Charlotte looked at him, her fingers tightening into fists. "That little boy is you. You and Shane are


    blood brothers, Theodore is your father too?"


    Christopher smiled softly. "As usual, you''re very smart."


    "No, I''m really a big fool..." Charlotte took a step back. "I should have made the connection a long


    time ago. People don''t love or hate without reason. There must be a deeper problem between you


    and Shane."


    "I don''t have any hatred for him. I want to take over NC Company to better take control of the Fuller


    Group."


    Charlotte was silent.


    She hesitated. Should she tell Christopher that she had 20% of the shares?


    Zoe came right at that time.


    Charlotte could only swallow her words.


    The church bell rang.


    Christopher brought them both deeper into the church.


    A woman dressed in a ck habit came over and greeted them with a "God bless you".


    She opened her eyes and turned around. "Pleasee with me."


    Her voice was kind and all her hair was hidden under her habit. She did indeed look like someone


    who had been enlightened and cleared of her earthly desires.


    Zoe didn''t expect that Christopher''s mother would be a nun, and so she didn''t know how to greet


    her.


    Christopher''s mother stopped in front of a fountain behind the church. "Thank you very much for


    coming to visit me."


    "Hi, I am Christopher''s girlfriend. My name is Zoe."


    "Zoe, what a nice name."


    Christopher''s mother turned around and looked at Charlotte, "What about you, miss?"


    Charlotte was stunned.


    She was only here to apany them. Did she need to introduce herself too?
