Chapter 66 In the Hospital
Chapter 66 In the Hospital
Nelson didn''t reply. He pushed the wheelchair by himself and stood before Ward 2508. Then he
turned around to appreciate Charlotte''s shock, feeling it very interesting. He chuckled and asked,
"Aren''t you going in?"
Charlotte was dumbfounded. Then she suddenly thought of something and asked gingerly, "Did...
Did you especially take me here to visit my maternal grandfather?"
Nelson replied, "I told you. Good kids will always be rewarded."
Charlotte was so happy that she was lost for words. She gave Nelson two bows and said, "Thank
you!"
Nelson said in an upset tone, "If you do want to thank me, kiss me. I don''t want bows."
Charlotte humped lowly and remarked in her heart, "Old hooligan."
She pushed open the door of the ward and found that her maternal grandfather was reading a
yellowed medical book attentively.
In the history of the Moore family, most of its members were engaged in medicine and all of them
were well-educated and elegant. Although Charlotte''s maternal grandfather, Dominic Moore, was
already seventy years old and was now ill abed, he still looked energetic and gentlemanly.
Hearing the sounds, he turned around and wanted to get out of bed when he found it was Charlotte.
Charlotte immediately ran over to stop him. She was so frightened that she blurted out, "Grandpa,
what are you doing? You''re in poor health and can''t get out of bed at will."
Dominic grasped her hand and looked at her worriedly, "Lottie, it''s been so long since you visited
mest time. Did anything happen?"
In the past, Charlotte would visit him once for two days. Nothing could stop her.
Charlotte felt her nose twitch when she heard the question.
For some people, it would be too much if someone asked about their misery. They could endure it
before, but when being asked by a close family or friend, all of their psychological lines of defense
would copse.
Charlotte, who was not yet 18 years old, had too much burden. Looking at Dominic''s amiable face,
she couldn''t help but shed tears, which startled Dominic. He asked, "Lottie! What''s wrong?"
Charlotte buried her head in his arms like a hurt animal. His chest wasn''t broad and under his thin
skin were bones. It seemed as if a gust of wind would be enough to make them fall apart. However,
it could give Charlotte unspeakable warmth and strength.
Just like when she was a kid, she would hide her injured hands behind her back because she didn''t
want the seniors to worry about her, this time, she also shook her head and replied softly, "I haven''t
seen you for a long time. And I miss you so much."
"Then why didn''t you visit me?" asked Dominic.
Charlotte wiped away her tears and said with pride, "That''s because I transferred to a new school.
Do you know Srnya High School? I was specially admitted to that school. I haven''t had time to
visit you recently because I was busy with the transfer procedures."
Dominic was a bit dumbfounded. Every Guabian had heard of Srnya High School. However, his
first reaction was not to feel happy for Charlotte. Instead, he asked worriedly, "Students in that
school are all from rich or powerful families and are all arrogant. Lottie, did they bully you?"
Charlotte smiled and replied, "I''m fine. They are all kind and have nothing different from students in
ordinary schools. Grandpa, I''m so outstanding. Are you going topliment me?"
Dominic smiled withfort and stroked her hair, saying, "Yep. Our little Lottie is the most standing
one. It''s a pity that I''m ill now, or else I''ll cook some delicious dishes to celebrate it."
Dominic was very skilled in cooking. So was Madelyn. Charlotte learned a bit from them, but what
she liked the most were still dishes cooked by Dominic.
Charlotte said in a soft voice, "Then you shouldpensate me after leaving the hospital."
"Okay," replied Dominic with a smile.
Charlotte then carefully asked about his current situation, which amused Dominic. He said, "Lottie,
you learned medicine from me. I know well about my situation."
Charlotte retorted, "You also taught me that doctors don''t treat themselves."
Dominic had no choice but to allow her to feel his pulse. Charlotte''s frown was eased a bit as she
said, "You get better."
Domonic also felt that weird. He stated, "All of my medicines were changed into expensive ones
from yesterday on. I asked the doctor if they''d gotten it wrong but they denied it, saying that it was
the request of my family..."
He looked at Charlotte and continued, "Jonathan won''t be so kind. Lottie, where did you get such a
large sum of money?"
The Moore family didn''t have too much umtion of fortune and it was used up after two months
of Dominic''s hospitalization. If not because of this, Charlotte wouldn''t have been threatened by
Aurora. But now, Dominic''s living-saving medicines were all changed into better ones...
Charlotte suddenly thought of something and felt shocked.
Did... Did Nelson do all these?
She pressed her lips, not intending to tell Dominic what filthy things Jonathan and Aurora had done.
Instead, she admitted, "Yep. It''s me."
Dominic asked with a serious expression, "Where did you get the money?"
Charlotte felt bitter. She couldn''t tell him that it was given by her buyer.
After a while of silence, Charlotte said in a low voice, "Please rest assured. I borrowed the money
from my ssmates'' parents. I will pay them back slowly."
Dominic heaved a sigh of helplessness. He couldn''t scold her as she was so thoughtful. He could
only say, "Then you should thank them. I will pay them back when I get better."
charlotte was amused and said, "What are you talking about? You''re getting old and it''s time for you
to enjoy life. I will get a job after the national college entrance examination. The debts are within my
ability. Please rest assured."
Dominic didn''t probe into this matter.
They chatted for more than an hour. In the end, Dominic urged Charlotte, "Well, time to go back.
Aurora will make things hard for you again if you go backte."
Charlotte replied, "Okay. I wille to see you the other day."
Dominic nodded his head and suddenly asked, "Did you hire the two nursing workers? I can take
care of myself and I don''t need them. Don''t waste money."
Charlotte paused in her track.
It turned out that Nelson was so thoughtful.
She curled up her lips into a soft smile and said in a gentle voice, "No need. They''re not that
expensive. Just let them stay to take care of you."
"You."
"Okay, Grandpa." Charlotte blinked at him naughtily and said, "I have to go back. Have a good rest."
Dominic said helplessly, "Be careful."

"I see."
When Charlotte closed the door of the war, she spotted Nelson who was sitting in a wheelchair and
behind him was the empty corridor.
At this moment, Charlotte still had no idea about what it was like to have all people dismissed. She
just felt it strange as no one was there. But she didn''t ask too much about it.
Nelson looked sour with gloominess in his eyes. He looked at her with a long face and Charlotte
was a bit startled when she saw his gloomy face. Holding the door frame, she asked in a low voice,
"Mr. rk, what''s wrong with you?"
