Charlotte nodded. She did not want to fall down at this time, or everything she had done would have been in vain.
She walked towards them, but after only two steps, she fell forward uncontrollably.
Charlotte fell directly to the cold ground.
The big raindrops fell on her face and body. Soon her dress got wet and her hair stuck together. It hurt......
But she had to get up. She had to take shelter from the rain. She had to wait for Kennedy to see her.
She had a lot of to talk to Kennedy. She wanted to believe him, to love him without hesitation.
But why didn’t he come out?
For a moment, Charlotte got tears in eyes, but it was soon mixed up by the cold rain, so she couldn’t tell whether it was rain or tears on her face.
“Mrs. Moore!”
The men cried out when they saw her fall.
Nathan had not come yet back. Charlotte blinked and as she was to climb up from the ground, an gentle but angry voice was heard above her head.
“Don’t go, there’s no need.”
The voice sounded so familiar. Charlotte wanted to see who it was, but before she could move, her body was lifted up and a pair of warm hands held her shoulders firmly.
Charlotte was held in warm arms.
“...You have done enough.”
The warm voice sounded above head. Her body was held by warm arms. Charlotte smelled familiar breath.
“Come with me. You don’t need to stay here any longer. Keep your pride if he refuses to see you.”
The next second, Charlotte was directly picked up and her hands circled his neck and then she saw Manfred’s eyes.
“Manfred?” Seeing him, Charlotte was stunned. How could he be here? Shouldn’t he be back at the hospital? It was midnight, and here he was, and telling her those words!
So it meant...
In an instant, tears filled Charlotte’s eyes. She looked at him blankly. “What are you doing here?”
“Fool.” Manfred gave a faint smile, “I said I would take you to him. How can I leave alone when you haven’t seen him yet?”
“I... He doesn’t want to see me.” Charlotte bit her lower lip with tears falling down.
“It doesn’t matter.” Manfred held back the impulse to wipe her tears and smiled faintly, “It doesn’t matter if he can’t see you now. Since he doesn’t want to see you, I’ll get you out of here.”
With that, he turned and was to leave.
Charlotte’s face changed and she grabbed his sleeve. “No, no! I can’t leave here. I’ll wait for him here. There’s so much I want to say to him!”
Manfred stopped for a moment, and he cast down his eyes reproachfully.
“Don’t you understand? He doesn’t want to see you. If he had a little love for you, he wouldn’t have left you up to now. I have been trying to resist the impulse to get off the car, just to make you understand.”
