Chapter 240:.
At the hospital, Nathan told Annie about the situation. Annie shook her head, disinfected and cleaned her would be before applying the medicine. And then she asked Charlotte to come back for a good rest.
Before Charlotte left, Annie couldn’t help but speak up, “Charlotte, I think you’re one of my family, so I have something to tell you directly. Your injuries look serious, but don’t come to the hospital every day. Ask Kennedy to give you the medicine, understand?”.
Charlotte blushed, “I’m sorry, Auntie. I understand and I won’t come to bother you at all.”
Hearing that, Annie looked at her, “What did you have in mind? I don’t think you bothered me, but you can’t always come to the hospital and ask me to take care of your wound. You should learn to ask Kennedy to help you, do you understand? Women should be gentle but not stubborn sometimes.”
Charlotte paused for a moment and realized that Annie was teaching her how to deal with Kennedy.
“Auntie, I…”
“Don’t forget what I told you. Kennedy is cold and had a sharp tongue, but he is very sensitive and weak. His appearance is different from his heart. You should find a way to deal with him, understand?”
At that moment, Annie took his hand and said, “Don’t say I told you so. Think about it for yourself, do you understand?”.
After saying goodbye to Annie, Charlotte went home. She did a lot of thinking alone and then took out her phone and went to text Diana.
She had only Diana as a good friend before, and she had recently met Yanis.
She had a lot on her mind these days, and she wanted someone to share it with.
As she pulled out her phone, Charlotte froze and thought about what she had told him.
Should she talk to Diana about her mind, would Diana scold her?
Thinking this, Charlotte took a deep breath and finally hung up the phone.
She might as well follow her heart.
At noon, Charlotte wanted to go to the company to have lunch with Kennedy, but when she arrived, Kennedy was unexpectedly not at the company.
She learned that he had left the company very early. According to the security guard, Kennedy left shortly after she left the company.
After hearing the news, Charlotte became pensive.
She asked Nathan to send her home and said she would return to the meeting.
The meeting was important and she paused for a moment. But why did she leave the company? Was there something especially important, more important than the meetings?
Charlotte was curious, but didn’t think much and went to lunch with Yanis. Unexpectedly Kennedy had not returned for an afternoon. Charlotte could only go home alone.
Originally Charlotte thought she would see him in the evening, so she had not applied the medicine, because she remembered what Annie said and thought he might be able to help her.
So, at first, Charlotte sat on the couch and waited until she fell asleep. When she woke up, she saw that the room was empty and no one was there.
Unconsciously, Charlotte reached up to rub her eyes. Kennedy wasn’t back yet?
She rubbed her eyes before pulling out her phone and glancing at it.
It was already twelve o’clock at night.
It was so late…
Had she slept on the couch for hours?
Charlotte was cold, so she quickly got up to find a coat to put on, then went out to look for Kennedy.
She went to the study and still couldn’t find him. She had to ask the maid.
“Hasn’t Mr. Kennedy returned?”
The maid replied, “Miss Moore, why haven’t you been asleep at this hour?”
Hearing this, Charlotte pursed her lips and asked again, “He has not yet answered my questions.”
The maid said respectfully, “Mr. Kennedy has not returned. He is probably busy at work. It’s late at night, go to sleep, Miss Moore.” With that, the servant left.
Charlotte stayed in the same place. It was very late and he still hadn’t returned.
What was he busy about?
Thinking about this, Charlotte remembered that he had left the company early in the morning, and then waited for him at the company all afternoon, but he didn’t show up, and even now he hadn’t come home.
Is something wrong?
Charlotte got nervous and pulled out her cell phone to call Kennedy.
But she didn’t get through. Charlotte was worried and could only call Nathan.
Nathan answered after a long time. His voice sounded fuzzy, as if he had woken up.
“Who is it?”
“Nathan, it’s me.”
“…Huh? Who is it, Miss Moore?” Nathan was confused at first, then he heard Charlotte’s voice. Suddenly he woke up. Then Charlotte heard some noise and politely put the cell phone away to move away, then brought the phone to her ear again when she heard Nathan’s voice.
“Sorry I’m late, Miss Moore, what’s wrong?” it sounded like Kennedy wasn’t with him.
Thinking about this, Charlotte asked carefully, “I want to ask you…. Aren’t you with Kennedy?”
At the sound of Kennedy’s name, Nathan seemed to think of something and felt guilty.
“Miss Moore… Why are you asking this, is there a problem?”
“He… He hasn’t come home yet and I’m worried about him.”
“What?” Nathan was obviously startled, “Mr. Kennedy hasn’t come home yet?”
Charlotte nodded, “Yes, do you know where he is?”
“Damn it!” Nathan couldn’t help but grumble, “How could Mr. Kennedy be tangled up with her until now, what time is it?”
This was Nathan’s own complaint. Although he said it very quietly, Charlotte heard it, but it was not clear. She could only ask doubtfully, “What did you say?”
“Nothing.” Nathan came to his senses and denied, “Nothing, don’t worry, Miss Moore, I’ll call him back.”
“She hasn’t been able to reach her phone.”
Charlotte paused, nervously biting her lower lip, “Can you take me to him?” She wondered what she had been doing all day today.
“Miss Moore…” Nathan said, “I’m afraid not, it’s too late, and you have injuries. If Mr. Kennedy knows I’m carrying you, I’m sure he’ll punish me.”
“It’s okay, my injury is fine. I am worried.”
“Don’t worry, Miss Moore, I’ll go see him now. You can go to bed.”
