"Madam, please speak with a clear conscience. It was undeniably you who approached me to frame Mariah," Dr. Shepherd said.Mariah's countenance soured momentarily, but her years of cultivating self-control allowed her to maintain composure. She calmly addressed Dr. Shepherd, "The weather is quite warm today; perhaps you're experiencing the effects of heatstroke, leading to confusion. Why don't you take a seat, rest, and let the assistant present the prepared materials?""I...""You just mentioned that physicians possess 'compassionate' hearts. Let's not lose sight of that."Dr. Shepherd's forehead glistened with a thin layer of sweat, and his gaze flitted around as if grappling with a challenging decision.The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense, hovering between somber and cheerful. Charlotte discerned that Mariah was subtly pressuring Dr. Shepherd.Amidst this standoff, commotion from outside disrupted the silence. All heads turned in that direction, and the double door

Charlotte had been in a deep slumber, and as she finally opened her eyes, the room enveloped her in utter darkness. She reached for her phone and saw that it was already 10 PM. Recollecting the day's events, they felt surreal, like a dream.Dressed in her pajamas, she descended the stairs, and to her surprise, the entire house was bathed in warm light. There were no servants in sight, but a bustling activity emanated from the small kitchen downstairs. She tiptoed closer, inching towards the kitchen door.Inside, a man sporting a black shirt, sleeves casually rolled up, held a phone to his ear with one hand while expertly stirring something in a pot with a ladle in the other."Yeah, handle it on your end. I'll take Li'l Harry over in a few days." He concluded his call, rinsed his hands at the tap, and gathered ingredients for another pot, apparently gearing up to fry something.Charlotte, attempting to surprise him, raised her hands playfully, but just as she did, the man by the sin

The table fell into silence once more. Charlotte didn't immediately respond; William's words had been quite harsh. She stole a glance at Griffith's expression, finding his usual stoic demeanor remained unruffled.Attempting to break the awkwardness, she asked, "Have you finished your meal?""Yeah," Griffith replied."Then why don't you go upstairs and check on Li'l Harry? He's probably awake by now," Charlotte suggested, extending half of the fruit platter toward him. "Take this with you."Quick on the draw, William promptly moved the portion she had handed to Griffith back into the original plate, stating, "Eat your share. Why bother about him? It's none of your business."Charlotte scratched her forehead. Griffith had initially wanted to observe her reaction, but surprisingly, she stopped talking to him after William's outburst. She focused on eating her meal, seemingly unperturbed.He felt a surge of anger. Well, William's status was special, and he didn't want to argue with h

Charlotte couldn't help but grit her teeth as she shot an annoyed glare at Griffith. How childish!Griffith smirked and shot her a mischievous glance, letting out a light hum in response.Meanwhile, Li'l Harry was blissfully unaware of their silent exchange as he continued splashing water at Griffith, taunting Charlotte, "Dummy lady."Charlotte snorted and joined them in the water, taking a seat across from the two of them. "Teaming up on me, huh?"Li'l Harry lifted his small face and accused her, "Lady's a meanie first!""Since when was I mean?" she asked. "Lady made Harry eat a yucky leaf!""It was spinach; you're just a picky eater. Be a good boy!"Li'l Harry blinked and turned to Griffith, complaining, "Lady told Harry very scary stories."Griffith shifted his gaze to Charlotte.Charlotte defended herself. "He wouldn't sleep, so I had to use some special means."Griffith then turned to Li'l Harry. "Why wasn't Harry sleeping?"Li'l Harry looked around and confessed, "Ha

Charlotte lay on the other side of the bed in the bedroom, wearing a mysterious expression. Despite finding the little troublemaker annoying, she also felt a sense of pity. She decided to play along and indulge his dreams for now.Griffith was seated next to her, reading a story to Li'l Harry.Li'l Harry eventually grew tired of listening and decided to teach Griffith about Ultraman characters."Taro, Tiga, Mebius..."He recited their names and pointed to one for Griffith to identify, asking, "Who's this?"Griffith replied, "...Gaia."Li'l Harry looked at him with disbelief.Charlotte couldn't resist teasing, "That's Tiga!"Li'l Harry turned to her with an even more incredulous expression. "No. Dyna."Charlotte touched her nose. "...Oh."She eventually glanced at Griffith and sensed it was time to coax the little troublemaker to sleep.Li'l Harry was clearly excited and reluctant to sleep. He tossed and turned until eleven o'clock, when he finally began to close his eyelids,
