As Charlotte woke up, she felt her head throbbing with a faint pain.
Jessica had been keeping her company the whole time. Hearing Charlotte gasp, she quickly got up to check on her. “Charlotte, do you have a headache? I'll call the doctor over.”
Shortly after, Jessica left the ward, and within two minutes, she returned with a doctor in a white coat.
After a thorough examination, the doctor confirmed that Charlotte did not suffer any side effects from the concussion. The headache she was experiencing was a natural occurrence as her wound was still healing.
The doctor also removed the bandage on her head, as it was time to change her medication.
Since she bumped her head against the corner of a table and broke the skin, the doctor had to shave off a patch of her hair to stitch up the wound. The result was an unsightly scar resembling a centipede, with five or six sutures.
It was a good thing Charlotte could not see it herself. Otherwise, she would have had a meltdown.
Once the doctor had done applying medicine to Charlotte's wound and replacing the bandage, he left the ward. Jessica poured Charlotte a cup of warm water to soothe her throat.
Once Charlotte regained some strength, she asked Jessica, “Is Sasha all right?”
She remembered hearing Sasha cry while she was unconscious.
“She's fine. I've asked Mary to look after her,” Jessica replied, her eyes welling up as she noticed the faint imprint of a slap on her sister's face. “I'm sorry, Charlotte. I failed to protect you.”
Charlotte said, “It's not your fault. That scumbag cheated on you, and he deserves a beating! Jessica, did you report him to the police?”
“Mr. Little called the police to take Henry away after sending you to the hospital,” Jessica answered. “But Henry hired a lawyer, and the police eventually released him after locking him up for a day. They claimed it was just a family dispute, and he was also injured during the fight.”
“That d*mn piece of trash!” Charlotte cussed with an indifferent expression. “He cheated on you in the first place, yet now, he's playing the victim!”
Jessica's eyes turned bloodshot after hearing her words. “I can only blame my poor judgment.”
