Chapter 197: A New Discovery
Charlotte’s hand was still wrapped in Max’s palm.
Until the old lady let go of her hand.
Only the palms of their hands remained intertwined.
Charlotte did not move and struggled a little.
This time, Max did not maintain his strength and silently loosened his force.
withdrew her hand as she wished.
“Good child…” The old woman looked at Charlotte and opened her mouth with some difficulty. Her eyebrows looked kind, and her eyes were soft. “You and Max will be fine… It is not easy for Max either…”
Charlotte listened a bit superficially, but her attention was drawn to the skin on the old lady’s arm.
There were dark spots scattered irregularly on her skin.
This…
An unbelievable thought suddenly crossed Charlotte’s mind.
The old lady was most likely poisoned!
The poison had been deposited over the years and then appeared on the surface of the skin through such spots.
Could it be that the old lady was not sick, but was artificially injected with toxins?
Then everything could be explained.
The old lady was not sent to the hospital for systematic treatment but was brought to this remote manor.
Because she wasn’t sick, she was just poisoned.
How was she poisoned?
What kind of poison
was she poisoned with?
Charlotte did not know.
If she could be allowed to examine the old lady’s body in detail, perhaps…
“It’s time to go.” At that moment, Max’s deep, cool voice rang in her ears.
Her thoughts were immediately pulled back.
The old lady had already closed her eyes, and her face looked incomparably calm.
Charlotte nodded her head.
It was indeed time to leave.
She was curious about the old lady’s physical condition, but…
She wasn’t able to take the risk of showing her medical skills in front of Max and the others.
The fact that she had medical skills was not something anyone knew at the moment.
Just now, she had already revealed quite a bit by playing chess with the old master.
She was still good at chess, but her medical skills would be difficult to explain.

If they knew that she was good at medicine, she was afraid that Max would also be suspicious of her…
There would be chances in the future.
Charlotte just thought of it this way.
In the future, she could sneak in and take a look at the old lady’s
body…
Her face was pale as she circled behind Max, pushed the wheelchair, and
turned the same way they entered,
After saying goodbye to old Mr. Foster, they left the
ostral home
of the Foster family directly by car.
One car.
atmosphere was still somber.
No one spoke.
Max lowered his deep eyes, his features rigid.
In his mind, his grandmother’s frail face was still there.
When he thought of his grandmother, a faint manic depression grew in his eyes.
On the other hand, Charlotte thought of Cecilia and Max.
Because of Cecilia’s words, she couldn’t help but be suspicious of him.
The two of them sat like that with different thoughts and drove all the way back to Greenside Garden without saying a word.
After getting out of the car.
Charlotte pushed Max into the house just like before.
“Mr. Foster, you’re finally back!” A delicate voice suddenly came, followed by the sound of tiny footsteps.
Fatima unexpectedly appeared in front of them.
“I thought you weren’t coming back…” She completely ignored Charlotte. Her eyes stared straight at Max, and her face tinted with a clear smile.
Charlotte’s eyes fell into her smile, and it only made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Her fingers on the wheelchair froze slightly.
She felt a bit irritated.
Why…
Why should there be so many annoying women flocking around Max?
Of course, right now, he was still just a physically handicapped, wheelchair–bound, despondent rich young man…
In the future, when he gets rid of the wheelchair and starts to shine, how many women would he attract more?
She was afraid it would be even more than now!
This kind of realization caused Charlotte to immediately develop a strong sense of crisis.
She felt ridiculous and helpless.
She had never suffered like this before.
Charlotte withdrew her hand.
Her eyes looked coldly at Fatima and said, “In that case, you can assist him then.”

After saying that, Charlotte turned without hesitation and walked in the opposite direction.
She had to be quiet.
Max sniffed
His eyes couldn’t help but twitch a little.
He did not turn his head or look at Charlotte. Only his thin, cool lips parted slightly.
Seeing this, Fatima was overjoyed.
She immediately trotted behind Max, put her hands on the wheelchair, and said with a smile. “Mr. Foster, I’ll help you.”
Almost without hesitation, Max coldly refused.
Fatima’s face froze when she heard this.
Immediately after that, he ordered in a cold tone, “Go.”
His meaning was clear, he did not want Fatima to push him.
Realizing this, Fatima’s face suddenly turned ugly.
She clenched her teeth, a little unwilling and a little lost, and in the end, she could only withdraw her hand.
Yes.
She answered in a low voice, her tone very hurt.
Max, however, ignored her and drove the wheelchair directly forward.
Charlotte did not know that in the house, except for Lance and the housekeeper, Max had never let anyone touch his wheelchair.
For him, Charlotte was already an existence that he could make an exception for.
