At these words, Charlotte felt a stir in her heart.
Her grip on her phone tightened, and she smiled slightly, "We miss her too... speaking of which, are you feeling better, Annie?"
As she finished speaking, Annie slowly smoothed down Olivia’s hand, her pale, almost translucent fingers combing gently through Olivia’s hair. She shook her head and chuckled, "Charlotte, don’t you know me yet?"
She paused slightly, pressed her lips together, a clear sparkle of determination flashing in her eyes before she whispered, "Charlotte, I haven’t even watched Olivia grow up yet..."
"Don’t worry, no matter what, I will get better."
Not just for herself, but for Olivia.
Annie found that Olivia was too mature for her age, far more than any young girl her age should be.
Even her thoughts were so steady that it broke people’s hearts.
As she continued talking, her voice choked up a bit, sounding slightly hoarse.
"Charlotte, thank you."
Thank you for standing by me all this time and taking such good care of Olivia.
Upon sensing Annie’s emotional change, Olivia clutched her hand anxiously, her tiny palm surprisingly warm.
Next to them, King Samuel cleaned up the items on the bedside table, looked up at Annie, a slight emotion in his eyes.
He had completely understood all this time.
During the time he spent with Annie, all his past sharpness and prickliness have been ground smooth by his remorse.
He delegated his company business entirely to Henry to manage. Taking care of Annie and Olivia was his only goal.
Meanwhile, Charlotte leaned back and contemplated for a few seconds, then smiled, "Annie, don’t thank me. As long as you’re doing well, that’s all that matters."
"By the way," she seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "I don’t have anything planned today, so how about I bring the kids to visit you?"
Upon hearing this, Annie was overjoyed, and promptly replied, "Come over, we haven’t seen each other for a long time."
After sharing a few pleasantries and laughter, Charlotte hung up the phone and returned to the living room.
She moved to the right and took a seat next to Justin Battleson, speaking softly: "I’m going to take the kids to visit Annie at the hospital later, do you want to come?"
As her words fell, Justin Battleson lowered his gaze and replied, "I have some work at the company. How about I drive you guys?"
"It’s okay," Charlotte quickly refused.
Justin Battleson hadn’t been back to the company for several days, it seemed indeed, the pile of work accumulated in the company would definitely make him extremely busy. Google seaʀᴄh novelꞁire.net
"I can drive the kids there later," she looked up, smiled, "You better hurry to the company."
The atmosphere between the two finally lost its previous stiffness.
Charlotte’s lips lifted in a smile.
It seemed quite good.
Justin Battleson’s lips twitched upward, he lifted a hand to gently tousle her hair, hummed in agreement, stood up and said, "I will leave first then, be careful on the road."
Slightly nodding, Charlotte watched him leave, unblinkingly, until his figure completely disappeared, she came back to her senses.
Turning around, she locked eyes with Jordan Thompson, who seemed to be holding back what he wanted to say.
Knowing he was about to harp on again, Charlotte reluctantly opened her mouth, "I’m going to take the kids to see Annie at the hospital later, are you coming?"
At her words, Jordan Thompson absentmindedly shook his head and replied, "Why would I join the hustle and bustle?"
After that, he added, "Right, sis, I’m going to Henry’s house first, you can head straight there when you’re done at the hospital, I’ll wait for you there."
