qOverwhelmed by sadness, Charlotte leaned over and wrapped her arms around him.
All this while, she played the role of a heartless woman to prevent him from figuring out that she had found out about his actual condition.
She has been counting down ever since the day the doctor shared the bad news with her.
He only has twenty-six days left! I need to get Francesco here during this time! Otherwise, his life is going to be at stake again!
Zachary figured he had gone overboard, looking at Charlotte's response. Thus, he confessed, “I'm really fine. It was just another attempt to pull your leg.”
Unwilling to show him her vulnerable side, Charlotte went dead silent with her arms wrapped around him.
It doesn't make any sense! Has she figured out something's wrong with me? Why is she weeping?
“You wouldn't have sustained such a serious injury if it weren't because of the flower vase.” Charlotte was guilty. After all, she was the reason he was injured in the first place.
Otherwise, his condition wouldn't be as severe; his life might not be at stake as well.
Zachary made use of the things she brought up and threatened, “You need to take care of me since I'm injured because of you.”
Chuckling, she pinched his cheeks while asking, “Why are you bringing up something similar to the ones you've brought up at the hospital? What else do you want from me when I'm already here?”
“I'm not talking about the present! I want you to stay with me till death do us part!” Zachary repeated himself in a serious manner.
Irked, Charlotte reprimanded him, “What sort of nonsense are you talking about? Can you stop making it sound as if you're about to die in such a casual manner?”
“I-I—”
“If you're really dead, I'll get married to someone else and get our children to acknowledge a stranger as their father!” It was finally Charlotte's turn to threaten him.
