Chapter 304
He didn’t push her away, but waited for her nightmare to end, making sure she was soundly asleep
before continuing to wipe her body and tuck
her in.
Half an hourter hoped her sweat with a hot towel again. This time Emily was still restless, tossing
and turning in bed. Charlie had to be careful not to let her pa on the needle, while he himself got quite a
workout,
After doing this several times he was drenched in sweat himself. He had never taken care of someone
like this in his whole life.
After wiping her sweat again, she finally fell into a sound sleep.
Charlie looked at the sleeping girl and revealed a smile that was both helpless and gentle.
He went to the master bedroom to take a shower, and when he came back, the medicine in the bottle
was almost finished. He carefully removed the needle for Emily, touched her forehead, and found it
cooler.
Letting out a long sigh, he opened her wardrobe, found her pajamas, and helped her put them on
before tucking her in again, and then left her room quietly.
It was almost three o’clock in the morning. When he returned to his bedroom, Charlie felt exhausted but
he couldn’t fall asleep, worrying that Emily might kick the nket off again.
Tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, Charlie simply got up and went to check on Emily again.
Seeing her sleep soundly, with her nket still in the same position as when he left, he couldn’t help
but feel a little ridiculous.
It wasn’t until dawn that Charlie finally dozed off. Because he had to leave the house at six, his rm
clock rang less than two hourster. The sky outside was already getting bright. Charlie checked on
Emily first, saw her sleeping well, not having a fever again, nor kicking off the nket. He watched her
for a while and then left her room.
At six o’clock, Charlie called Estelle.
Upon hearing that Emily was sick, Estelle immediately woke up and got dressed, beforeing
downstairs.
Charlie said: “Sorry for waking you up at this time.”
“No problem. How’s Emily doing?” Estelle replied.
“She got caught in the rainst night, and then delivered takeout untilte at night, so she got a high
fever. I called a doctor to give her an IV, and her fever hase down. She’s still asleep,” Charlie
exined quietly
Estelle nodded, “Thank you so much for your help!”
“It’s nothing. But I have to go on a business trip today, so I need to ask you to take care of Emily,”

Charlie said, handing over the medicine Dr. Martin had left and telling her how to take it.
Estelle remembered that he was going on a business trip today and assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll take
good care of Emily.”
“Alright, then I’m leaving now!” Grabbing his clothes, Charlie told Estelle to have Emily take the
medicine after meals and to take good care of herself before going back to work.
“Yeah, I’ll tell her,” Estelle replied with a smile.
Charlie nodded and left. At the door, he saw Jonathan and said with a light smile, “I’m sorry for
bothering you guys so early, but it’s really because of this situation. I’ll make it up to you when I get
back!”
Hearing him speak, Estelle immediately followed him out the door and said, “No worries, Charlie.
You’re in a hurry to catch your flight, just go!” “Estelle is always so understanding!” Charlie didn’t miss
the opportunity to tease Jonathan before leaving.
Jonathan followed Estelle back indoors, frowning, “I didn’t even say a word, so howe I’m not
understanding?”
Estelleughed, “That’s Brother Charlie’s self-defense mechanism.”
Jonathan’s frown deepened, “You address him so affectionately.”
Holding back herughter, Estelle replied, “I call him big brother and you uncle, so in that way, you are
taking advantage of him.”
Jonathan, who had been woken up so early and was feeling grumpy, finally felt better after hearing her
defend him.
