Chapter 68 A Tricky Question

a big, powerful family for hundreds of years.
When Charlotte stepped into Elizabeth''s chamber, she found thetter was having a rest in a deck
chair.

Probably because she was ill, this olddy who was in her nies didn''t look condescending
anymore. And her acerbity was weakened and reced by the loneliness that was always seen in
old people.
Hearing the sound, Elizabeth opened her eyes. Her cloudy eyes reflected Charlotte''s face.
She nced at Charlotte withplicated emotions and in the end, she asked in a husky voice,
"Why did you save me?"
Charlotte replied, "As a doctor, I can''t bear to see anyone being tortured by illness."
Elizabeth chuckled andmented, "Such an answer."
She stared at Charlotte, still with disgust and disdain in her eyes. After a long while, she finally
spoke, "Although you save me once, I won''t ept you to be my granddaughter-inw. But of
course," she continued as if it was a very fair thing, "At least I won''t make things hard for you in the
future. But Charlotte Lopez..."
She raised a finger to point at Charlotte and continued, "You can only apany by Nelson for a
short period and you should be aware of your identity. When Nelson gets better, you have to leave
him right away. If I''m still alive at that time, I will give you arge sum of money and send you
abroad."
Charlotte hadn''t expected that Elizabeth asked her here for a negotiation. She secretly heaved a
sigh of helplessness in her heart.
It was the doctors'' duty to save others, and she had never wanted to change Elizabeth''s attitude
toward her with this.
"I''ve always been aware of this."
Charlotte continued in a soft voice, "Madame rk, having a bad mood will cause the reurrence
of your illness. Please don''t worry about many things."
With that, she took a step forward and said, "Let me feel your pulse."
Elizabeth reached out with a long face.
Charlotte felt her pulse and said, "The turbulence of heart in your body has been subdued. You
won''t feel your legs and hands numb or feel dizzy anymore, right?"
Elizabeth grumbled a "yes" and said, "I felt much better after drinking the decoction. It''s just that I
still have a headache."
"This is the sequ of the stoke. You''ll get better after drinking two more decoctions." Charlotte
continued, "You''re in poor health and the weather has been capricious recently, so your illness will
likely reur. I''ll give a prescription to you to prevent having a stroke."
"Put 6 grams of sophora flowers in boiled water and then drink the water. You can take it as tea and
it''s very useful for preventing stroke."
Scarlet, Elizabeth''s maid, immediately nodded and said, "Okay. I remember it."
Charlotte grumbled an "Okay" and continued, "Madame rk, you''re very weak now, so you can
add 2 more grams of astragalus membranaceus in the Largeleaf Gentian Decoction to nurture your
body. Don''t take any tonic like ginseng decoction. You can''t take too much nutrition when you''re
very weak. Otherwise, it will harm your body."
Scarlet nodded profusely.
Charlotte stood up and said to Elizabeth, "Your stroke is almost cured. If you''re still worried about it,
you may ask another doctor to check on you. Shall I go back now?"
Elizabeth held her forehead with a hand and said, "You may leave."
Charlotte then left.
"Tell me." Elizabeth opened her eyes and raised a question, not knowing if she was asking Scarlet
or herself, "What''s in that girl''s mind? Isn''t it beneficial to her if I die?"
Scarlet thought for a while and then replied gingerly, "I heard that for doctors, if they turn a blind eye
to their patient, they would be sent into hell after death."
Elizabeth chuckled, her face getting sharp and mean again as she continued, "No matter if it''s out of
kindness or other intentions, I won''t allow her to stay in the rk family."
Scarlet hurriedly said, "Madame rk, Mr. rk has been very interested in her recently and
pampers her a lot."
Elizabeth waved her hand and said, "I don''t mean I want to do something to her now. I''m tired and
want a rest."
...
When Charlotte walked out of Elizabeth''s courtyard, she immediately saw Waylon. She asked in
confusion, "Mr. Colton, why are you here?"
Waylon answered with a question, "What do you think of it, Ms. Lopez?"
Charlotte was a bit dumbfounded and her ears got red as she stammered, "Did... Did Mr. rk ask
you toe here?"
Waylon was no wonder Nelson''s most loyal subordinate. He immediately replied, "Mr. rk was
worried that you might be aggrieved or targeted by Rachel, so he asked me toe here in case
you might need my help."
Charlotte felt warm in her heart. She slowly pinched the hem of her clothes, not knowing what to
say.
Waylon continued, "Now that you''ve left the courtyard, shall we go back?"
Charlotte nodded. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Colton, does Mr. rk
dislike Ms. Brown?"
Waylon replied with a smile, "Not that serious. Madame rk only has a son, which is Mr. rk''s
father. He was the former patriarch of the rk family and was not a person to be controlled by
others. He married Mr. rk''s mother. However, Madame rk disliked her very much, which
caused tension between the mother and the son. Because of this, Madame rk was very close
with her younger sister''s granddaughter, Rachel Brown."
Waylon remembered something and narrowed his eyes as he continued, "Latter, Mr. rk was
born. Although Madame rk didn''t like Mr. rk, his birth somehow alleviated the tension
between Madame rk and her son. Therefore, Mr. rk and Madame rk had a good
rtionship."
He reached out to brush the extruded jasmine branches aside. Charlotte thanked him in a low
voice. Then Waylon continued, "Mr. rk doesn''t detest Rachel. She''s not qualified."
Charlotte opened her clear, big eyes and looked at Waylon with a serious expression as she asked,
"Mr. Colton, is it Okay to disclose this to me?"
Waylon asked in confusion, "What''s wrong with it?"
Charlotte made a "cutting throat" gesture and replied, "I saw this in TV ys. Big families have
many secrets that cannot be known by others and those who know about it will die at any moment."
Waylon was amused. He stated, "There aren''t so many secrets in this world. Moreover, this is not a
secret. Many people know about this."
Charlotte felt disappointed.
Waylon thought this little girl was so cute and couldn''t help but ask, "Ms. Lopez, did you always eat
ice cream of the brand ''cuteness'' in childhood?"
Charlotte was a bit confused, but she still answered the question with a serious expression, "I didn''t
have good health in childhood, so my mom didn''t allow me to eat ice cream."
Waylon was very amused andughed. He thought to himself, "This little girl is so cute and every
man wants to have such a girl by his side..."
However, when he turned around, he saw Nelson''s cold face.
Waylon was lost for words.
Charlotte also spotted Nelson and her face got red. She ran toward him and asked, "Why are you
out? It''s windy outside."
Nelson grasped her hand. His eyes were filled with gloominess, but he hid them well and Charlotte
didn''t spot it. He asked, "What are you talking about? You look happy?"
His voice sounded extremely low and mellow.
A drop of sweat slipped down Waylon''s forehead. He hurriedly exined, "Mr. Nelson, I like foreign
girls who have a D cup, a slender waist, a pair of long legs, and blond hair."
Nelson asked expressionlessly, "Are you looking down on Lottie?"
Waylon was lost for words.
This was a tricky question!
