RedNovelRegret 190 Chapter 190 The thought had never even crossed her mind in the past-she wouldn't have dared imagine that Evander could pity her.
Her lashes trembled slightly, her eyes calm and unreadable. "If you fall once, you'll know whether it hurts or not." He gave a soft laugh. "Are you mad atnow?" Charlotte said nothing.
Evander let her go, his hand resting lightly on her impossibly slender waist. "Fine, I won't touch you. Just be careful in the shower, all right? Don't slip." Charlotte kept her back to him, nodding absentmindedly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce he left, relief flooded through her. Only then did her body finally relax, tension draining from her shoulders. She glanced down at the wad of gauze still pressed under her arm, her fingers curled around the tape from the injection. If Evander had forced himself on her just now, he would have discovered everything...
The next day, as soon as Charlotte arrived at the hospital, she heard that the head nurse's mother had been let go. The woman had worked as a caregiver in the hospital for over a decade, and every patient she'd cared for had been more than satisfied.
She was only a year away from retirement, and yet, fór reasons no one could understand, the hospital had dismissed her.
Charlotte had no idea any of this was connected to her-until the head nurse stormed into her office. "Dr. Sterling, my mother may be getting on in years, but she deserved to retire with dignity, not be fired! Do you know how humiliating this is for someone her age?" Confused, Charlotte frowned. "I never said she was the one who hurt me." "But she was fired because of what happened to you!" The nurse's composure snapped. "She had no idea about anything-just because she was seen in the hallway, they decided she pushed you down the stairs." "Dr. Sterling, I know you have a lot of influence here, and the Dean trusts you, but you can't just accuse my mother without proof!" 1/3 15:10 Chapter 190 Charlotte rose slowly from her seat. "I didn't know anything about this." She stepped closer to the nurse. "Don't worry. I'll talk to Dean Chase and find out who actually made this decision." "It really wasn't you?" "There's no camera in that hallway. Even I can't say for sure who it was-so why is everyone pointing fingers at your mother?" The head nurse fell silent.
Charlotte hurried to Dean Chase's office. In the corridor, she found him talking to Evander outside the doorway. Dean Chase turned to her, said something to Evander, and Evander looked back at Charlotte.
She walked over. "Dean Chase, about Nurse Denton's dismissal-there must be skind of mistake, right?" "A mistake?" Dean Chase looked startled and glanced at Evander.
Evander loosened his tie a little. "She was there when you fell." "How do you know that?" "A janitor saw her," Evander replied, his gaze fixed on her.
Charlotte frowned, trying to untangle the truth. She couldn't tell who was lying, who was honest.
But she knew one thing for sure...
"I have no grudge against Nurse Denton. She would never push me."
"Grudges aren't always built up over time-sometimes they happen in an instant." Evander took a step closer, kg stopping in front of her. You worry so much about other people. Maybe you should worry about yourself for once. Besides, she was only a year away from retirement. Letting her go a little early isn't the end of the world."
Charlotte stared at him. "Evander, you know what being fired means. Nurse Denton should have been allowed to retire peacefully, but now she's carrying a stain on her reputation. What do you expect the rest of the staff to think of her?" Evander's brow creased. "I gave you a solution. Are you refusing it?" "A solution?" She almost laughed. "Evander, the only solutions you offer are the 2/3 15:10 Chapter 190 ones that suit you-they're never what I want!" "Fine, I'll spell it out for you. You want to know why I was pushed down those
stairs? Someone thought I was pregnant and wanted to make sure I lost the baby Dean Chase's eyes widened. Pregnant? A miscarriage? He couldn't help but glance at Evander.
Evander said nothing, his expression growing darker by the second.
