RedNovelRegret 110 Chapter 110 Charlotte looked over at the sound of laughter. A group of children, no older than five or six, were circling a beautiful woman clutching a porcelain doll, spraying her with water guns.
The woman seemed lost in her own world, only hugging the doll tighter to her chest. “Don't hurt my little girl," she pleaded softly.
Charlotte called out to the kids, “Hey! If you keep picking on her, I'll call the police and have you all taken away!" The children scattered instantly, voices fading as they ran.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCharlotte approached the woman and reached out to help her up. As she did, her gaze landed on the ring the woman wore-a deep red ruby, pigeon blood in color. Charlotte had seen such gems only once before, on her mother-in-law, Miranda. That stone was definitely real, and this one looked just as authentic.
It must be worth a fortune.
But why would a woman who clearly struggled with her mental health wear something so expensive? Wasn't she afraid of being robbed? "Ma'am, are you all right?" Charlotte asked gently.
The woman looked up, dazed, and suddenly grabbed Charlotte's hand. "Sweetheart, is that you? You've chome? Please, don't leave Mommy again, okay? Look-this is you." She pointed lovingly at the doll in her arms, her smile tender as spring sunshine.
Charlotte softened her voice. "I'm sorry, ma'am, you must have mistakenfor someone else. I'm not your daughter. Do you remember how to get home? Or would you liketo take you to the police station first?" "Home?" The woman hugged the doll tighter, shaking her head violently. "No, I won't go home. There's no daughter at home." Charlotte flashed a reassuring smile. "But your little girl is right here with you. You can take her htogether." "Daughter..." the woman murmured, then suddenly fixed her eyes on Charlotte's face. "You really are my daughter. Will you chwith me?" "Um..." Charlotte hesitated, at a loss for how to respond.
"Ma'am!" 1/3 07:57 Chapter 110 A man in glasses hurried out from the hospital entrance. “Not again, maʼam! If the young master finds out you've run off..." He trailed off as he spotted Charlotte, surprise flickering across his face. "Wait-it's you?" "Do we know each other?" Charlotte asked, puzzled.
He scratched his head sheepishly. "Well... when you fainted by the roadside, we were the ones who brought you to the hospital." Charlotte's eyes widened in surprise. "So it was you who saved me." "Oh, it was nothing, really." He smiled awkwardly. "Actually, you should thank our young master, not me." The woman tugged insistently at Charlotte's sleeve. "Daughter, chwith Mommy." "Ma'am, you've got the wrong person, she's not "She is!" The man sighed, resigned. "Please don't mind her. Our lady hasn't been well, mentally speaking." Charlotte nodded. "I understand." He hesitated before asking, "She won't cwith me. Do you mind helping out?" Charlotte agreed, and followed him into a private hospital room. The woman clung anxiously to her arm, as though afraid she might disappear.
"Young master, I've found her," the man announced as they entered.
Charlotte stepped inside. The man before her was strikingly handsome, though not in the ssevere, chiseled way as Evander. His features were gentle, the arch of his brow soft, with a sly, fox-like tilt to his eyes.
Charlotte found herself momentarily distracted, until the woman beside her tugged again. "Sweetheart, why are you just standing there?" Feeling a bit awkward, Charlotte was about to explain when the man crossed the room and wrapped a gentle arm around his mother's shoulders. "Mom, don't you love roasted chestnuts? Why don't you let Julian take you to go buy some?" The woman hesitated. "Chestnuts..." Julian, the man in glasses, stepped forward. "I know a place that makes them just the way you like. Con, I'll take you." 213 07:57 Chapter 110 The woman took a few steps, then looked back over her shoulder. "But what about my daughter?" "Don't worry," Julian assured her. "Your daughter will have schestnuts too." At that, she brightened immediately and followed Julian out.
Charlotte let out a breath and turned to the young man. "I didn't realize this lady was your mother. And t heard you were the one who foundwhen I fainted. I guess fate keeps throwing us together." She took out her phone. "Letat least pay you back for the medical bills."
"No need," the man replied with a warm smile. "You brought le you brought my mother back safe and sound. We're even." Charlotte nodded. "Well, I'll be on my way then." She was almost at the door when he called after her. "Wait." She turned, a little confused. “Is there something else?" "Would you mind givingyour number?" "Sorry?"
He looked slightly embarrassed. "It's just... My mother's never taken to a stranger the way she did with you? I e e thought in case she asks for you again, maybe I could get in touch. Of course, I'd compensate you for your time." 07:58
