Chapter 188 Don''t Cry
Chapter 188 Don''t Cry
Charlotte had never cried so pitifully and miserably before.
As the rain got heavier, Nelson simply picked her up sideways and carried her into the car.
He pulled out two tissues to wipe away her tears and said, "Your eyes will get swollen if you keep
crying."
Charlotte asked in a choking voice, "Why did youe? Didn''t you say you wouldn''te?"
Nelson wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes again and replied, "I came because I
thought you would cry. I was right. You do cry."
Charlotte lowered her head and retorted in a low voice, "I cry not because I''m sad."
She didn''t want to hide anything from Nelson, so she said while sobbing, "It''s because..."
Nelson pulled her into his arms and interrupted her in a nd voice, "Stop. Lottie, you don''t have to
talk about this."
Dumbfounded, Charlotte asked, "Aren''t you curious about it?"
Nelson whispered in her ear, "I know everything. You''ve done a good job. You did nothing wrong, so
you don''t have to be afraid. No matter what, I''m always by your side."
His embrace was so warm that Charlotte''s mind was nk for several seconds. When she came
back to her senses, Nelson was already driving the car.
Charlotte wiped away her tears and asked, "Have you been aware of it?"
"Sort of." Nelson didn''t n to tell Charlotte that he was the person behind all those things. He
continued, "It''s nothing. Don''t cry for it."
Charlotte said in a soft voice, "But I''m afraid that I would be the kind of person I hate the
most..."
"You won''t." Nelson''s voice sounded calm, but it was somehow soothing. "A person''s nature will not
change."
Was it true?
Charlotte turned to look at the rainy scene outside. It looked like a different world from the quiet and
warm car.
This was her redemption.
...
Charlotte took a hot bath after returning to Oswye Community. As soon as she walked out of the
bathroom, Cora handed her a bowl of ginger soup. "Drink it quickly, otherwise, you''ll catch a cold."
Charlotte hurriedly finished the ginger soup and felt her mouth spicy.
Cora sighed and said, "Your eyes are so swollen. You must have cried a lot, right?"
Charlotte recalled her previous breakdown and crying and felt a bit embarrassed, but she still
nodded.
Cora continued, "She''s not your biological mother after all and didn''t treat you well. Why are you so
sad about her death? Look at your beautiful eyes. s, I''ll go boil two eggs for you, you can roll
them on your eyes to subside the swelling."
Charlotte moved her lips wanting to tell her that she cried not because she was sad, but because
Cora had left.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
She heaved a sigh of helplessness.
After applying an ice towel to her eyes and rolling them with eggs, Charlotte''s eyes finally became
less swollen. It was only 4 p.m., but it was so dark outside. Cora put a cup of hot chocte in front
of Charlotte and said, "It''s only May. Seyso has never had such heavy rain in May before."
Paisley chimed in, "That''s it. I think the neighboring town will have a natural disaster again."
Prodon was a town of Poville and had arge reservoir that had a very high water storage capacity.
It could even supply the whole Poville. However, its dam was old and once there was heavy rain, it
was prone to flooding.
Listening to Cora and Paisley, Charlotte took out her phone to check the weather forecast. It was
going to rain for the next week. She knew something about Prodon because when she was a child,
she had a friend from Prodon. Although they didn''t y togetherter, Charlotte still remembered
this ce.
Judging from the heavy rain, it seemed like Prodon was bound to flood.
As the hot chocte entered her stomach, Charlotte felt a warmth spread throughout her whole
body. Magnolia climbed onto the sofa and snuggled with her for a nap. Nelson also walked
downstairs. He''d changed into a silver-grey round-neck home outfit.
Looking at Charlotte condescendingly, he asked, "Do you still want to cry?"
Charlotte blushed and quickly replied, "No... No..."
Nelson sat down next to her and continued, "Don''t cry before me except in one situation."
He felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle when she cried. It was a tingling pain.
Charlotte asked with confusion, "What situation?"
Nelson leaned over and whispered into her ear, his lips almost touching her earlobe, "Begging for
me in bed."
Charlotte was lost for words.
...
She suddenly pushed Nelson away and shrank into a corner of the sofa. Magnolia was startled by
her and fell off the sofa. Charlotte hugged a pillow tightly, her neck turning red.
Nelson chuckled and said, "Remember this."
Charlotte didn''t reply. Who wanted to remember such a thing?
It rained all night in Seyso and the next day, Charlotte couldn''t even leave the house. She could
only stay in her room to read medical books. Nelson had left early in the morning and she felt quite
bored. Therefore, she walked out of her room and went to the first floor to watch TV.
She seldom watched TV ys or cartoons when she was young, so she still couldn''t pick up one
after flipping through the channels until her eyes got tired. In the end, she identallynded on a
historical drama, right at the grand finale.
The female lead, dressed in a red dress, died in the male lead''s arms. The scene was tragically
beautiful and the plot moving, which caused Charlotte to tear. Cora felt amused and wiped away her
tears. Shemented after ncing at the TV, "This TV y was filmed by Charlett Thiago. She''s
young, but her acting skills are exceptional. I cried the first time I watched this plot too."
Charlotte asked while wiping away her tears, "Do you know her?"
Cora replied, "She''s a famous star, how would I know her? My son and daughter all like her, so I
know a bit about her."
Charlotte nced at the TV again and it happened to show a close-up of the female lead. This
female star was truly beautiful. With fair skin and delicate features, she exuded a rare ssical
charm. No wonder she was so popr.
"But I heard from my son that she recently had some negative news." Cora casually chatted with
Charlotte, "I heard it was about casting couch situations. She only entered the industryst year, but
she became so famous in less than a year. Many people say she has a sugar daddy, but there''s no
evidence yet."
It was the first time Charlotte had heard such gossip news and she found it interesting. "Didn''t she
dere this?" asked she.
Cora replied, "Nah. This girl doesn''t care about her reputation at all. I don''t know what''s in her mind.
She didn''t get angry no matter what people said about her. But instead, my daughter got so mad.
She called her ''my love'' every day. s, I don''t understand the world of the young people."
Charlotte chuckled and replied, "Indeed, you already know a lot about the young people''s world.
You know much more than me!
Cora shook her head with a smile and said, "Gils at your age should watch more TV and surf the
Inte more to keep up with the times. There''s soup simmering in my pot, so I''m leaving. Enjoy
your TV y."
Charlotte nodded.
