No one knew what Amber was dreaming about, but a soft smile lingered on her lips as she mumbled in a sweet, sleepy voice, "Mommy..."
Her small, warm body curled closer to Charlotte in her sleep.
At that moment, Charlotte's heart completely melted. The fear and gloom brought on by her earlier nightmare instantly faded away.
"Mommy's right here..." she whispered gently, pulling Amber into her arms and falling back asleep.
Meanwhile, Lydia lay awake through the night, restless and unsettled.
That female doctor left her with a deep sense of unease, which she had never felt before.
As soon as she arrived home, she arranged for someone to investigate Dr. Mandy's background.
After several hours, the investigation results finally arrived, but the findings were frustratingly vague.
The only information they could find stated, "She's undeniably talented, but extremely mysterious. Though she's been well-known in the medical field for years, she rarely appears in public. Whenever she does, she wears a mask, and no one knows her actual age."
Lydia frowned deeply as she read through the message.
So, the woman really could treat Brian.
But she was far too arrogant—and the worst part was, there was nothing Lydia could do about it.
Brian's cold demeanor that night lingered in her mind, stirring a deep restlessness in her heart.
She couldn't let things continue like this. She had to find a way to turn things around.
Determined to win him back, Lydia grabbed her phone and quickly reached out to her contacts, asking them to help her source the finest herbal supplements. She planned to send them to Brian as a gesture of care.
…
The next morning.
Charlotte went off to the research institute as usual, immersed in her work.
Meanwhile, Brian stayed at home, working remotely while continuing his recovery.
At around 10.00 am, he sat in the garden gazebo listening to Henry update the work progress.
Just as they finished, the soft sound of a kitten meowing cut through the air.
