Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 426

Scarlett's POV:

There was an awkward silence in the ward after Alice left.

With a worried expression, James held my hand and said, "Mommy, Daddy has a fever! And the doctor said that his headache was becoming more serious."

It was true that Charles was indeed looking severely pale and ill.

As I sat down in front of the bed, I was at a loss for words.

A while later, I asked, "How did you get sick all of a sudden? You were fine yesterday, right?"

"Caroline, are you caring about me now?"

There was a glimmer of hope in Charles' eyes as he looked up at me.

"If you don't want to tell me, then forget it."

Glaring at him, I stood up, and was about to leave.

However, Charles quickly grabbed my hand.

"Don't go!"

"Don't touch me," I hissed, shaking off his hand.

"It's because you did not let me in yesterday," Charles said in a pitiful tone.

"What do you mean?" I asked with a frown.

"Daddy waited outside your house for a long time and got soaked in the rain, Mommy! Jason became sick last night, so Daddy went home and stayed up all night taking care of him and fainted this morning!"

Upon hearing that, my heart ached and I asked worriedly, "Jason's sick? How is he now?"

"His fever has come down, so don't worry," Charles comforted me softly.

Bitterness filled my heart, and I could not help but lower my eyes.

I scolded myself for being a terrible mom.

I couldn't even take care of my sick child.

"You can come to see them this Friday. They really miss you a lot. Jason kept calling your name in his sleep while he was sick last night."

"I will go and see them."

My eyes turned red at the thought of the twins.

I also missed them deeply and was longing to see if they were doing okay.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

The room fell silent again.

With a smile on his lips, Charles fixed his deep gaze on me.

Feeling a little uncomfortable, I tried to avoid looking at him.

Rolling his eyes, James covered his mouth and yawned.

"Mommy, you stay and take care of Daddy. I'm tired, so I want to sleep for a while."

With that, James climbed onto the sofa and fell asleep.

I felt more awkward with Charles. I bit my lip nervously, not knowing what to say.

"Where is the thermometer? I'll get it for you."

I pretended to look around for the thermometer to evade the awkwardness between us.

All of a sudden, Charles held my hand and said softly, "Caroline, just stay with me. I am really glad that you came to see me."

I withdrew my hand and said in a stubborn voice, "If I had known that you were the one that was sick, then I would not have come. You have led James astray, and now, he is plotting with you to trick me!"

Charles handed his phone to me and explained helplessly, "My phone died. I didn't mean to deceive you."

With a suspicious look in my eyes, I took the phone from him and checked it. It was indeed dead.

"I am sorry that I misunderstood you. But you can't blame me for doubting you. After all, you have tricked me many times before," I explained in a low voice.

"Yes, and it's not your fault," Charles said gently.

"Did you really come to see me yesterday?" I looked at him in surprise.

If James had not mentioned it, then I would not have known that Charles had come to visit me the night before.

And obviously, I could not have known that he was waiting downstairs in the rain like a fool.

"I saw you leave with Simon yesterday, and I saw him walk into your house and not come back for a long time, so I kept waiting outside for you,"

Charles explained with a bitter smile.

Hearing that, I fell into deep thought.

I remembered that it had not been raining when Simon had left the previous night.

So why was Charles saying that he did not see Simon leave my house?
