Chapter 163: Those Past Events

Charlotte dodged when Luan reached out to her again. "What's wrong?" Charlotte shook her head again. "Even Milly, who gave birth to two children, ended up like this. I'm wondering, what exactly are women to men?" Luan knew he was a sensitive person who would always think deeply about things when something happened. So since he had been with Charlotte, Luan had been coming home early every day just to avoid worrying her. "Is it just for having children? I really dare not think about these things." Luan reached out again to try to hug her, but Charlotte pushed him away without warning. "I just want to be alone for a while." Luan frowned slightly. "You just need to know that you are very important to me. You're my family, and you're the only wife I'll ever have. Milly's situation is indeed very sympathetic, but it will never happen to you again." Charlotte's emotions were unstable tonight, and she couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed and cry softly. Charlotte's complexion wasn't good. "I know I'm a bit difficult. After all, in my previous relationship, I spent so many years giving, but I was still heartlessly abandoned. I know you're good to me, and every time I get this nameless anger, you always comfort me unconditionally. But, can you let me sleep alone tonight?" Luan couldn't quite understand. "But I'm worried that you'll feel worse alone." Charlotte shook her head and pushed him out of the door. "I really just want to be alone for a while. Can you not disturb me tonight?" Luan looked at her like this, feeling both heartache and anger. He was also a person. Ah, he had put a lot of effort into this relationship, but occasionally, when he saw Charlotte like this, he still felt very angry. Luan looked at the closed door and had to turn and go to the study. Charlotte woke up in the middle of the night feeling a bit thirsty. Just as she was about to grope for the light switch, she felt someone next to her, which startled her. Luan softly asked beside her, "Why are you awake?" "I want some water. Did you sneak in again after I fell asleep?" Luan nodded. "Yes, I just couldn't relax, so I wanted to come and check on you." Luan had seen her sleeping when he came in earlier, and she seemed to be frowning in her sleep, as if having a nightmare. "I'm fine," Charlotte said calmly. After Charlotte poured a glass of water and came back, she saw Luan sitting on the bed. His hair was messy, completely different from his usual neat appearance. She hadn't noticed this before, but looking at Luan half-asleep, still waiting for her to come back and sleep, Charlotte didn't feel so irritable anymore. "Do you want some water?" Charlotte offered the cup to him. Luan squinted. "Sure." Charlotte was indeed quite tired tonight. Shortly after lying down, she fell asleep again. Luan listened to her steady breathing and felt that she seemed to be a little better than when he first arrived. But Charlotte still resisted his embrace, and every time he reached out, she instinctively moved away. Then Luan glanced at the air conditioner and decisively lowered the temperature. He didn't believe that Charlotte wouldn't come over to hug him now. Luan lay in bed half-asleep for more than ten minutes before feeling a hand on his waist. "See, you still need me." Luan hugged her contentedly and fell asleep again. When Charlotte woke up the next day, she felt a headache, but the room wasn't cold. Why was she feeling ill? She took a deep breath and felt a bit congested in her nose. "I seem to be sick." Luan frowned. It was probably because he had lowered the temperature too much last night and made her catch a cold. Luan stepped forward and pressed his forehead against hers. "It seems a bit hot. I'll stay home today and take care of you." "Is everything okay at the company today?" Luan said calmly, "Nothing is more important than you in my heart. Don't worry about these things. Even if I'm not there, my assistant will take care of it." After waking up, Charlotte felt very groggy and in a bad state. But at the moment, she really wanted someone to be with her, so when she saw that Luan really had nothing else to do, she nodded in agreement. "What do you want to eat?" Luan felt guilty. Originally, he wanted Charlotte to resist him less, but he didn't expect her to get sick because of his actions. Charlotte looked at him. "Just make something simple." "Okay, I'll call the doctor later." Luan went downstairs naturally to prepare breakfast. When Sophia saw him coming down alone, she felt a little strange. "Where's Charlotte? Why didn't she come down with you?" Luan said lightly, "She's sick, so I'm not going to the company today. I'll take care of her at home." Sophia found it strange to hear this. In her impression, Charlotte had always been a very healthy person, almost never getting sick. "Is it serious? Do you need to call the family doctor?" "I've already called. He'll be here soon." Sophia was a little worried. "Carlos went to the hospital early in the morning to see Isaac. I don't know how that matter will be handled." Luan was busy cooking noodles and casually replied, "Let's wait and see. They definitely won't escape legal sanctions." Ten minutes later, Luan brought the noodles he cooked and the family doctor upstairs. Charlotte was asleep again at the moment, and when the doctor was giving her an injection, she showed some painful expressions. "Don't worry, sir, madam just has a slight cold." Luan's face changed slightly as he looked at Charlotte. "I see." Seeing him so worried, the doctor said again, "Madam has always been very healthy. Occasionally having a fever like this is also good for her body. If sir has nothing else to do for the moment, I'll leave. I'll come back to give madam another injection at this time tomorrow." Luan nodded. "Okay." Luan stayed by her bedside and didn't leave. When the drip was finished, he went to remove the needle. Charlotte might have felt a little pain, so she opened her eyes. "You're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Charlotte pursed her lips. "Just feel a bit tired. Have the kids gone to school?" Luan looked at her and said slowly, "They've already gone. Delice sent them." Charlotte nodded. "That's good."
