Chapter 442
The next morning, Charlie went to visit Emily, not expecting Carson to already be in the hospital room, with a large bouquet of flowers on the cabinet.
Emily was awake in the morning and was startled when she saw Charlie. Then she spoke hoarsely, “Charlie!”
Charlie smiled, “How are you feeling?”
Carson stood up and said, “Emily is much better. Jonah and Estelle just came by.”
Charlie nodded slightly and put the flowers he brought in a vase. He smiled warmly at Emily and said, “The doctor said that the wounds on your body are just superficial injuries, but because you lost too much blood and had your stomach pumped, you need to rest for a few more days. I’ve already asked for a leave from your company, so you can focus on recovering and not worry about anything!”
Emily’s complexion remained pale, and her lips had lost their color. She weakly nodded in response to Charlie’s words.
Gina graciously poured water for Carson and Charlie, expressing her gratitude. “Thank you for coming to see Emily. I was informed by the doctor that Mr. Dulle covered Emily’s medical expenses and arranged for this VIP suite. It must have cost a fortune. I truly appreciate it!”
Charlie smiled warmly, replying, “It’s the least I can do. No need to thank me.”
Carson excused himself to take a phone call in the living room, while Gina was summoned by the doctor to retrieve some medication. Now, only Charlie and Emily remained in the room.
Charlie settled himself beside the bed, a gentle smile playing on his lips as he began peeling an apple. “This is the first time I’ve ever peeled an apple for someone else. You
have to finish it all later.”
Emily forced a smile, but her eyes were still dull and lifeless.
Charlie asked gently, “Is something bothering you?”
Emily shook her head.
Emily leaned her forehead against his chest, choking on her sobs. She tried to hold back her tears, not making a sound.
Charlie’s steady, warm voice and embrace made her want to get closer and rely on him. It seemed that in his arms, all the grievances and hatred became unimportant. She told herself to indulge just this once, and only this once!
Charlie waited for her to calm down, handed her a tissue, and smiled warmly, “After crying, let everything be in the past, alright? Don’t overthink anymore, because it wasn’t your fault in the first place!”
Emily reclined back, restraining herself from desiring anything that wasn’t rightfully hers. She used a tissue to wipe away her tears, nodding earnestly. “I understand. I will strive to
recover!”
Charlie affectionately caressed the top of Emily’s head. “You’re such a good girl!”
Emily couldn’t help but feel a flutter of nervousness, lowering her head to continue drying her tears. She didn’t dare let Charlie perceive the inner turmoil in her eyes.

Then Melanie and Noreen will both understand that Emily is his wife, who he chooses and cares to be with. We’ve already had so much drama when Emily took off for three years hiding her pregnancy from Charlie. Emily has already confessed that the only man she loves is Kya father, which Charlie is. Now he needs to boldly claim the only woman he loves is Emily…I just had to add my two cents (he he he)....
