    Chapter 588 I Can Adopt You, Be Your Mother


    Charlotteforted him, “It’s okay. When the weather clears up tomorrow, we’ll take your master down


    the mountain for a


    check-up and bring you along for some fun. How does that sound?”


    Being such a young child, the prospect of going down the mountain to y made Peter’s eyes light up.


    He even started urging Charlotte and Joe to rest early so they could get an early start the next day.


    Charlotte found herself both amused by his enthusiasm.


    Out of respect for the temple, Charlotte and Joe didn’t sleep in the same room but stayed in two


    adjacent rooms instead.


    Despite the rooms’ simple furnishings, they looked clean, indicating that the master and Peter probably


    kept them in good


    order.


    In a strange room, all alone, Charlotte thought she might have trouble sleeping or feel anxious.


    However, as soon as she


    lay down, she fell into a deep slumber.


    The next morning, Charlotte was awakened by a rapid knocking on her door.


    She sat up in bed, feeling ufortable, and held her head. Perhaps it was the rain from yesterday,


    but she had a


    splitting headache, and her whole body felt heavy and sluggish.


    ncing at the weather outside, after a night of rain, the sky was now clear and beautifully blue, a sight


    to behold.


    After briefly settling her difort, Charlotte got out of bed. She was met with an anxious-looking


    Peter when she opened


    her room door.


    Peter eximed urgently, “I just went to wake up Master for morning prayers, but no matter how hard I


    knocked, he didn’t


    respond! Could something be wrong?”


    “I’ll go check with you,” Charlotte said. Without hesitation, she followed Peter, ready to leave.


    Enter title…


    At that moment, Joe emerged from his room. “I’m going with you.”


    Charlotte nodded, and with Peter in tow, they arrived at the door of the master’s room.


    As expected, even after knocking repeatedly, there was no response from inside.


    Joe and Charlotte exchanged a quick nce, and without hesitation, Joe kicked the door open.


    Charlotte instinctively


    pulled Peter away from the entrance.


    Watching the unresponsive room, Joe furrowed his brow. “I’ll go in first and check. When I call for you,


    then you can


    come.”


    Joe entered the room slowly. After a moment, he emerged with a grim expression. “I’m arranging for


    someone toe


    over. You two, don’t go inside.”


    Charlotte instantly understood the situation inside the room and silently held Peter closer.


    Peter seemed to sense something, too, and stayed quiet in Charlotte’s embrace, not crying or making a


    fuss.


    An hourter, the manager from the hot spring club arrived with a team of people at the temple. They


    quickly investigated


    the situation.


    “The master has passed away peacefully in his sleep due to his old age,” exined the apanying


    police officer and


    doctor to Charlotte and Joe after their investigation.


    It wasn’t until this moment that Peter, with teary eyes, grabbed Charlotte’s sleeve and choked out,


    “Master… He won’t


    come back anymore, will he?” N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    Charlotte was at a loss for words.


    She wanted tofort Peter, to tell him everything would be fine. But she knew that words alone would


    never suffice in


    the face of such deep grief. All she could do was hold him once again.


    With the master’s passing, it was clear that Peter couldn’t stay here any longer. Especially given his


    lack of legal


    documentation and proof of identity, it would be even more challenging.


    Charlotte knelt down and, in a solemn tone, asked Peter, “Would you like toe with me? I can adopt


    you, be your


    mother.”
