Chapter 1486


    Hearing such words, Charlie felt lost and sad. He opened his thin lips to say something but could


    not.


    His father had died young, and his mother raised him alone. However, after he had a family, he and


    his mother gradually became distant...


    Then, Mckenzie hung up and never called Charlie again.


    As a result, Charlie became even more depressed. At this point, he felt that the wine on the table


    tasted like water.


    Billy was also in a bad mood, so he also decided to drink with Charlie.


    When they both left the private room, they


    walked a little shakily. Then, they put their arms on each other''s shoulders and walked outside of


    the bar.


    The two girls who had been drinking with them earlier were standing in the corner. Be, who had


    spilled her drink, was watching Charlie walk out of the bar.


    The girl standing next to Be nudged Be. "Did you fall under his spell?"


    Be didn''t say anything and just blushed. Then, the other girl shed a smile. "He''s one of those


    most attractive men. But he''s married. And I''ve met his wife, who is beautiful, sexy, and charming.


    She''s drop-dead gorgeous."


    Be turned around and went back to work with a smile.


    Billy dropped Charlie off at his apartment.


    He staggered sideways and couldn''t stand up at all.


    Grace, working on a design at herputer desk, turned around at the sound. Her eyes were like


    sharp arrows shooting straight at Billy. "Did you get him drunk like that?"


    Immediately, Billy raised both hands to prove his innocence.


    "You''ve got me wrong! He definitely did it by himself. Otherwise, I wouldn''t dare to do this at all!"


    "That''s more like it!"


    Grace gave Billy a look and told him to carry Charlie to bed.


    After Billy left, Grace took off his shoes and socks and brought a basin of hot water to wash his feet.


    Grace thought, ''Gee! How can he drink so much wine for no reason!''


    Charlie behaved decently after drinking, and he didn''t make a fuss. After Grace washed his feet, he


    fell asleep quietly.


    Grace sat back in front of theputer to finish the rest of those tasks.


    Then, she slept next to him. She thought he smelt like alcohol. She frowned, turned around, and


    tried to stay away from him.


    However, Charlie seemed to be aware of it. He reached out and took her into his strong arms. Then


    he put his arm around her waist and pressed his long legs heavily against her.


    She couldn''t move her body, so she just let him wrap around her as if he were a vine.


    The next morning, Charlie woke up first. Because he drank too much, he had a hangover. And now


    he had a bad headache.


    Then, he struggled to get up. He shook his heavy and drowsy head and then went to the bathroom


    with a towel covering his waist and hips.


    His cell phone rang. His headache worsened when he saw that it was Mckenzie calling him. After a


    slight pause of two or three minutes, he picked up the phone. "Mom."


    "I feel like my back hurts. I don''t feel well, and I feel dizzy all the time. Ask Grace to go to the


    restaurant today,” said Mckenzie.


    "I''ll tell her. But I don''t know if she wants to go." Charlie said, "I''ll call you backter."


    After hanging up the phone, he called Grace. He tried to sweet-talk her to work at the restaurant.


    "That''s not possible. I''ll go if Mckenzie apologizes to me. Otherwise, I won''t go to the restaurant no


    matter what." Grace cowered under the covers.


    Charlie also could do nothing about it.


    "You know Mckenzie quite well. Besides, she also said she was not feeling well. You''ll go to the


    restaurant today. Alright?"


    "She said in front of all the people in the restaurant that she didn''t care if I worked there or not. And


    she said not feeling well was only an excuse for not wanting to work. So is she really not feeling


    well, or is it only an excuse? Anyway, I have my own principles!" Grace just wouldn’t go to the


    restaurant.


    Charlie was a little upset that Grace said his mother pretended to be sick.


    But he didn’t say anything and just sighed in his heart.


    The two of them talked about this issue for about ten minutes. In the end, they still did not get a


    result.


    It was almost time for Charlie to go to work. He had to grab his suit from the hanger. He called


    Mckenzie as he walked out of the apartment.

    Mckenzie was furious when she heard him say those words.


    However, she could do nothing about it, for she was onlymunicating with him through the


    phone and was far away from her son.


    Grace hadn''t felt sofortable in a long time. She slept until she woke up naturally. Then she took


    a walk, watched a little TV, and worked on her drawings at home.


    She used to think that going to work was not a good thing, which would lead to a constrained life.


    However, she now thought it was really nice to work. Working could make her more grounded and


    motivated. And she felt that she lived afortable life now.


    There were a lot of drawings for jewelry design. Because she hadn''t worked for a long time and now


    wanted to push herself to work harder, she sat in front of theputer and kept drawing.


    While Charlie was in a meeting in thepany’s conference room, his secretary pushed the door


    open and walked in, bent over, and whispered something to him in his ear.


    Then, the look on his face changed drastically. He said the meeting was adjourned and then rushed


    out of the conference room.


    The secretary received a call from the restaurant manager, saying that Charlie''s mother had


    suddenly fainted and had been taken to the hospital.


    Charlie drove like he was drifting the whole way. He drove at a speed of 100 miles per hour. After he


    drove furiously to the hospital, he saw the lights in the emergency room on.


    He stood outside and leaned against the wall. His breathing was rapid and not yet steady. His chest


    heaved up and down violently.


    At that moment, the attending physician removed his mask and came out of the emergency room.


    And the new most authoritative doctor had taken his ce.


    "How''s it going?" Charlie asked anxiously.


    "She was too overworked. And she was under too much stress, causing a sudden cerebral


    hemorrhage." The attending doctor said, "Her condition is not very promising. But now we have


    authoritative doctors joining us. I think the sess rate of the surgery will be improved."


    Charlie nodded his head.


    After the doctor left, he leaned against the wall. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling a little scared.


    He had been raised by Mckenzie alone, so he had deep feelings for his mother.


    Then he thought about her mother callingst night and saying she was tired. And her mom called


    him again this morning to say she wasn’t feeling well, so she definitely told him the truth!


    He hated that he hadn''t been attentive to her words. Otherwise, this wouldn''t have happened!


    It looked like the surgery was very risky. Otherwise, her mother wouldn''t be in the operating room


    from morning till noon. Charlie stood by the window. He held a cigarette in his long fingers. He


    smoked one after another, letting the taste of nicotine enter his lungs to numb his panic.
