The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 897

Charlotte stood in front of the glass window, tangled with blooming roses. She plucked one absentmindedly, twirling the soft stem between her fingers as a voice droned on from the phone.

“Thirty billion?”

The words made her raise a perfectly shaped brow. A sly smile tugged at her lips. “My dad really is generous.”

“Franco said another ten billion is for N Organization, like… a consolation prize,” Adonis replied, sounding way too cheerful now that the money was in the bag. “He also said if N Organization ever needs anything in the future, just ask.”

Charlotte could picture him, all animated on the other end even without seeing his face.

“Alright.” Her smile faded, replaced by something more focused. “Did you send my mom’s medical report to Dr. David?”

“Yes, Charlotte.” Adonis’s tone switched to serious in a heartbeat. “Dr. David says there’s a lot about the report that doesn’t make sense. He wants to look into it further.”

They’d have to wait until she was back in Cabinda to dig into the details.

“Okay.” Charlotte’s fingers tightened around the rose as she stared at it, brow furrowed with worry.

She’d already skimmed her mother’s report. On the surface, it looked like total organ failure, which led to poor blood flow to the brain and left her in a coma. But the details didn’t quite match up. Each symptom was just a little different. She still hadn’t found the real cause.

For now, things weren’t dire. With medication, her mom could hang on. But if they didn’t find the root of the problem, it was only a matter of time before things got worse.

The thought pressed on Charlotte’s chest, making it hard to breathe. What was really causing all this? Why hadn’t any of the doctors figured it out? What if she couldn’t, either?

“You’ve been standing out here for ages. Why aren’t you wearing a jacket?”

Lost in thought, Charlotte barely noticed Anthony until he gently placed a coat over her shoulders. His eyes were warm and steady on her.
