Just as Martha was about to approach Charlotte, Joe suddenly said to Charlotte, "Aren't you feeling unwell? Maybe you should go upstairs and rest."
Charlotte paused, immediately understanding Joe's meaning.
She nodded, "Okay."
Watching Charlotte head upstairs without looking back, Martha subtly frowned and casually asked Joe, "Has her memory not returned yet?"
Joe responded, seemingly a bit troubled, "Dr. Twain said her case is difficult and requires long-term treatment."
Martha's eyes shifted, "Dr. Twain? Is he reliable?"
"My friend recommended him; there won't be any problems," Joe said confidently. Martha was slightly relieved and nodded, "As long as he's reliable, psychological issues are not to be taken lightly."
Now she looks like a mother worried for her children, Joe sneered inwardly.
"Ben and Anna..." Martha hesitated, looking around and not seeing any sign of them.
"They went to visit friends with Sir Smith," Joe said lightly.
After failing to see the children several times, even Martha understood that Joe was deliberately keeping them away from her.
However, she was very confused. Since they met, she had been very gentle toward them and even restrained her behavior for fear of raising Joe's suspicions. So why was Joe's attitude always indifferent?
"I..." Martha wanted to voice her grievances, but when she met Joe's deep gaze, she put those thoughts away.
She looked down, hiding her emotions, and said softly, "I'll leave first, then. If the children come back, I'll visit them."
Joe remained indifferent, watching Martha leave.
Stepping out of the villa, Martha walked to her car. Just as she opened the door, she saw Hope sitting inside.
Hope looked gloomy and frowned, asking Martha, "He still didn't let you see the two children, right?"
