RedNovelRegret 241 Chapter 241 Charlotte clenched her fists, then let out a sudden laugh. "But there's a catch, isn't there?" Evander paused in the middle of buttoning his suit, his brows knitting together. "And what if I say there isn't?" "Do you really think I'd believe you?" He let out a quiet laugh. “So if I admit there is, would you agree to it?" She stood there, refusing to meet his eyes.
He could see she only wanted to get as far away from him as possible. There was a flicker of restraint in his gaze as he reached for her cold hand, holding it gently. "See? You wouldn't say yes anyway, so why even ask? I'm telling you, there are no conditions. You don't have to believe me." Charlotte pulled her hand away. "What's the point of all this, Evander?" "Evander, you managed just fine ignoringall these years, didn't you? And when you were defending and indulging Tricia and her son, did you ever stop to think about me? Did you ever think we'd end up here?" His expression tightened for a split second, then he masked it, his tone returning to calm. "Charlotte, I owe you. I'll make it up to you." She blinked back tears, her voice hoarse. “Do you really think I care about your so-called compensation? Will it bring my parents back?" Her composure suddenly shattered. She pounded her fists against his chest, her sobs spilling out. "All I've ever wanted is a divorce. Why can't you just letgo? Do you think I haven't suffered enough? Are you still punishingfor marrying you and driving away the woman you loved all those years ago?" "Then just kill me, Evander! Why don't you just kill me?" He didn't try to dodge, letting her vent all her anger and grief on him.
But then he realized something was wrong. Charlotte's breathing grew ragged; she looked as if she could barely catch her breath. He reached out to steady her. "Charlotte!" She was trembling all over, clearly in distress.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout hesitating, Evander swept her up in his arms and rushed outside, shouting 1/3 12:51 Chapter 241 for medical help.
Summitview Wellness Retreat had a dedicated emergency department and close ties with leading hospitals in the city. Renowned specialists from several hospitals regularly consulted there.
In the emergency room, a nurse gave Charlotte oxygen. She sat propped up in bed, her gaze empty as she stared out the window.
The nurse quietly slipped out of the room and approached Evander. "Mr. Howard, I'd recommend having her seen by a psychiatrist." Evander's hands balled into fists. "A psychiatrist?" "I suspect Ms. Sterling is showing early signs of bipolar disorder. If this continues unchecked, there's a risk she could harm herself or someone else." Harm someone...
Evander's chest tightened as he recalled the moment she'd lunged at Tricia with a knife.
If he hadn't pushed Tricia out of the way, Charlotte might have ended up with blood on her hands-or at the very least, been charged with attempted murder.
Back then, he'd thought, if she hurt him, he wouldn't hold it against her. Even if something happened to him. But he couldn't say the sfor others.
After the nurse left, he stood outside the door for a long time, unable to bring himself to go in. Eventually, he pulled out his phone and dialed Natalie's number.
When Natalie opened the hospital room door, Charlotte had already calmed down. Hearing someone enter, she assumed it was Evander and didn't look back. "Can I go hnow?" "Of course. I'll take you." Charlotte hesitated, turning to glance at Natalie. "You don't have to go out of your way." Natalie smiled warmly, "It's no trouble at all.” Charlotte said nothing more and got up to leave.
Natalie followed her down the hallway.
