    Chapter 357 It’s Good to Wake Up


    “Charlotte?”


    Just as Charlotte was changing Joe’s coldpress sleeves again, he opened his eyes with a hoarse


    voice.


    Charlotte looked at him in surprise. “You’re awake?”


    Joe responded in a low voice. His back was still burning with pain and he felt dizzy. In fact, after he fell


    asleep, his


    consciousness had been floating up and down, as if he had been trapped in some dark space.


    However, he woke up when he heard Charlotte’s words.


    Perhaps it was because his eyes were too deep, Charlotte looked away uneasily. “It’s good that you’re


    awake.”


    Joe knew that going too far was not enough. He restrained his emotions and asked with concern, “Are


    you all right?”


    The weak man in front of her waspletely different from the noble Mr. Smith of the past. Charlotte


    pursed her lips and


    said, “You’d better care about yourself. The injury on your back is so serious, but you still say it’s okay.”


    Joe looked at her deeply and said, “I heard what you said just now.”


    Charlotte was both annoyed and amused. “When did Mr. Smith be such a spoony man?”


    It didn’t seem right for him to have such an affectionate act with a handsome and cold face.


    Joe didn’t reply. He continued to stare at her.


    Charlotte said helplessly, “I keep my promise, but I only said that I would not care about the past and


    did not say that I


    wanted to make peace with you.”

    After what had happened in the past, she was no longer the stupid woman who treated love as


    everything, and she would Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    never reconcile with Joe because of this incident.


    “As long as you can treat me peacefully, the injuries this time won’t be in vain.” Joe looked at Charlotte


    deeply, with


    unconceble emotions in his eyes.


    Charlotte did not look at him and said, “You make it sound like you were deliberately injured.”


    Joe smiled and didn’t say anything more. Although he was injured in order to save Charlotte, it was a


    fact that he took


    advantage of the injury to ask for benefits. He was such a despicable person that as long as the


    chance appeared in front


    of him, he must grasp it firmly.


    Perhaps it was easier to rx in such a space. Through the warm fire, Charlotte asked a question that


    she had


    suppressed in her heart, “Why did you suddenly treat me…? Just because I was that little girl?”


    Joe’s feelings for her hade so suddenly and deeply that she had always felt it strange. She did not


    believe in his


    sudden affection for her.


    “No.”


    Joe looked down at the fire in front of him, and the temperature on his forehead rose again, making his


    brain a little


    confused. But he still said what was on his mind, “My parents’ death has something to do with me.”


    Charlotte looked at him in shock.


    “They were nning to divorce that day.” Joe raised his head and looked into Charlotte’s eyes.


    Joe’s parents were typical business marriages. Under the cover of their loving rtionship, there was a


    mutual apathy and


    disgust. As their only son, Joe was used to this kind of marriage pattern and even felt that all marriages


    were like this.


    They argued and imprisoned each other for many years. Finally, one day, they decided not to continue


    and to break free


    from this shackles.


    However, Joe stopped them.


    He calmly suppressed their restless thoughts with the reputation of Smith Group, but he didn’t expect it


    to get worse.


    That day, they had a fierce quarrel again and had a car ident when they drove to the Civil Affairs


    Bureau in a fit of


    anger.


    “If I hadn’t suppressed it again and again, perhaps they wouldn’t have driven away in that kind of mood,


    and there


    wouldn’t have been a car ident,” Joe said in a low voice.
