RedNovelRegret 231 "No idea which lucky boy snagged her in the first place, but honestly-how did it end in divorce?" Mrs. Rivers sounded surprised, but she accepted the news quickly enough.
Charlotte was strikingly beautiful-vivid, charming, her skin radiant and pale, and she always seemed so well- mannered. Girls like her were always popular in their social circles; she was never short of admirers.
Before Charlotte could respond, Old Mr. Carstair chimed in, "It's probably for the best. Shows the man didn't know what he had." Mrs. Rivers nodded in agreement. "Young people get divorced all the tnowadays. It's hardly shocking anymore. Honestly, Lottie, you deserve someone much better." Charlotte just smiled and lowered her gaze to her plate, quietly finishing her meal.
When dinner ended, Charlotte walked alongside Mrs. Rivers as she and Old Mr. Carstair escorted the couple to their car.
Judd followed a few paces behind, unhurried.
Once the Riverses had gone, Old Mr. Carstair turned to Charlotte. "Lottie, are you heading back to the hospital or somewhere else?" "I'm going back to the hospital." "Perfect. You two can go together." Charlotte hesitated, caught off guard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOld Mr. Carstair looked over at Judd. "Why don't you give her a ride?" Charlotte remembered what had happened in the office that day and wanted to avoid any awkwardness. "Prófessor, I can just call a cab-" "That's fine," Judd replied before she could finish.
Charlotte almost thought she'd misheard him.
Old Mr. Carstair, satisfied, got into his car, and soon Mr. Lockwood, the driver, pulled away, leaving Charlotte and Judd alone on the curb.
Judd brought his car around. Charlotte didn't want to treat him like schauffeur, so she climbed into the passenger seat.
1/3 12.44 Chapter 231 After she buckled her seatbelt, he spoke unexpectedly. "Don't touch anything in my car." She instinctively raised her hands. "I haven't touched a thing." "I'm just reminding you." " Another awkward silence settled in, until Charlotte felt compelled to speak. "Professor Carstairs, I had no idea you were the old professor's grandson. I never would've guessed." He gave a noncommittal grunt and said nothing more.
Charlotte took the hint and didn't push her luck.
They arrived at the hospital together, exiting the elevator one after the other, still in silence.
Noreen, just finishing her rounds, saw them and hugged her clipboard closer, eyes reddening as she hurried away.
Charlotte could only give a wry smile. Great, another misunderstanding.
Noreen was crying in the restroom, comforted by two nurses.
"Professor Carstairs probably just ran into her by chance," one nurse said. "Besides, there's no shortage of pretty girls in this hospital. If he was that shallow, would he really wait around for her?" "Exactly, Ms. Lennox. You're overthinking it," the other agreed.
Noreen wiped her tears and looked at them. "You don't have to cheerup. Men like beautiful women-I get it. And Charlotte really is gorgeous. She's got that special something."
The two nurses exchanged glances.
They knew better than anyone that while there were plenty of CC ΟΜ good-looking nurses around, Charlotte was the kind of beauty you didn't forget-a showstopper. Ever since Charlotte arrived, she'd caused a stir in the department. Among the young doctors, she'd quickly gained a reputation as the new star of the surgery wing.
Doctors from other departments even casking about her, hoping for her 213 number.
They always said The Capital and Eldermere City produced the most beautiful women-and it was true.
"Ms. Lennox, if you're so worried... maybe we should teach her a lesson?” one nurse whispered.
The other nurse nodded. "She's new here anyway. We could freeze her out, make her feel unwelcome." Noreen hesitated, neither agreeing nor refusing.
That afternoon, Charlotte was busy with patients and missed the cafeteria's meal hours.
When she finally got a break, she headed to the nurses' station to ask where they usually kept their takeout, but the two nurses she approached turned away, pretending not to hear. Charlotte just smiled, exasperated. Fine. She'd ask Gentry instead.
As she passed by Judd's office, she unexpectedly overheard a familiar voice.
