Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Griffith was awakened by a heat. His arm was clearly in contact with a heat source, like a hot water bottle.In the darkness, he turned his head and identified the heat source's shape: a curled-up person—Charlotte. She had moved closer to him at some point, burying her head under the blanket, with only the top of her head exposed, and her forehead pressed against his arm.He was about to withdraw his arm from the heat when he heard her mumble uncomfortably a couple of times. It suddenly dawned on him that she had a fever."Charlotte?""Mmm..."As expected, she couldn't be woken up.He turned on the bedside lamp. Glancing at the time, he saw that it was only two in the morning. The candles in the main hall had not been fully lit, but he could still hear the chanting faintly.He breathed a sigh of relief, got up, put on his clothes, and went out. By this time, Ash had also fallen asleep. When he heard the knocking on the door, he thought something had happened and quickly got up.

Charlotte lay still, struggling to fall asleep for what felt like an eternity. Eventually, when she couldn't endure it any longer, she succumbed to slumber.Upon waking, the room was bathed in daylight. She shifted, but there was no one beside her.For a moment, it seemed as if she were trapped in a dream. The handsome face of the man who had been near her felt like a fleeting illusion.A knock echoed at the door.She recalled that they were still up on the mountain. If it was already morning, it meant it was the following day. She had promised to attend a rehearsal for the new play with Lucy."Ms. Scott?" It was Ash.Charlotte quickly rose, checked her attire, and ensured everything was in order before opening the door.As soon as she did, the morning chill invaded the room. She cleared her throat and asked hoarsely, "Are we descending the mountain?""Yes," Ash replied, glancing at his watch. "You can make your way down the mountain now. Our people will handle the rest.""Alr

Early in the morning, they had already engaged in a heated argument. After leaving Logan's office, Charlotte felt wide awake.Lucy chuckled. "You were quite fierce during that battle today."Charlotte waved her hand dismissively. "Just putting on a show. I feel like throwing up right now."In truth, she was feeling queasy. Suzanne had noticed her less than optimal condition and urged her to take a seat."We're less than two weeks away from the one-month mark. Our mission is tight, so we must work swiftly," Suzanne emphasized.Charlotte glanced at the script for "Folding Willow Branch," known for its ensemble of female characters.Suzanne told her, "Charlotte, you're the only one who can handle the female lead role."Mary chimed in, "The character requires such beauty. Charlotte can certainly pull it off."Charlotte forced a smile, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Suzanne had handed her the lead role directly, which might not have been entirely fair to others. While interns were on

Katie observed Charlotte's changing expression from a distance and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. She approached quietly and suggested, "I know you also have an affinity for children. It seems like you've been trying for the past few years. How about we visit Li'l Harry in the ward? He's absolutely adorable."She got too close, and though her perfume was subtle, it was the most irritating scent to Charlotte's senses. Already feeling uneasy, having only had a piece of bread for breakfast, now she was inhaling Katie's unpleasant fumes. Her breath became constrained, and her stomach churned."Ugh..." she couldn't hold back a retch.Had she eaten a full meal earlier, she might have vomited right on Katie. Even without that, she hunched over in discomfort, her face growing pale.Instinctively, Katie tightened her grip. However, Charlotte didn't actually vomit. Instead, she took a few deep breaths and turned her head, unaware of the change in Katie's expression."Ms. Ka

After receiving the call, Paul knew Charlotte's identity and began to weigh his options. Compared to offending Charlotte, he was even more reluctant to offend Katie. After all, Griffith was upstairs.But he didn't expect Griffith to appear in his room a few minutes later."Mr. Wilson."Griffith responded indifferently, saying, "You injured your leg, Mr. Saladino?"Both were sophisticated men, but the weight of their statuses was vastly different. Paul was just an executive of a foreign company, while Griffith was the CEO of the Wilson Corp. The Wilsons held significant influence in the city, and very few could gain face in front of him.Paul was somewhat surprised and quickly replied, "It's just a minor injury. I'll be able to leave the hospital soon."His gaze briefly flickered towards Charlotte's face but then turned to Ava."I also had to trouble Ms. Bishop to come and visit me. I feel ashamed."Ava responded, "You're too kind."Watching Griffith's expression, Paul smiled a
