Chapter 1118 Congreve’s heart broke
After Joe said that, Charlotte didn’t continue to refuse and obediently sat down. Joe had already arranged a team of doctors and quickly completed a full-body examination for Charlotte. “Her wrists and ankles have minor fractures," the doctor said, frowning slightly.
The most conspicuous injury on Charlotte’s body was the bruise on her neck, a dark purple mark on her fair skin, which looked truly terrifying.
Even though she didn’t show it, Charlotte could guess what the doctor was thinking. She had to explain, “It wasn’t him who did this..."
The doctor then withdrew the thought of reporting the incident to the police, awkwardly smiling at her and saying, “It's good that it wasn’t him."
He prescribed a bunch of medication for Charlotte and instructed her to rest for a month, preferably with someone to take care of her daily life.
Charlotte couldn’t bear to think about how difficult her life would be if Congreve and Judy found out about this. She looked at the doctor and asked, “Can | stay in the dorm in my condition?"
The doctor shook his head, “Although fractures are not as serious as breaks, it’s best to rest as much as possible to aid recovery.”
The light in Charlotte’s eyes completely dimmed.
On the other hand, Joe nodded and said, “I'll take care of your leave."
She wasn’t afraid of not being able to take leave at all! She looked at Joe, hesitated, and Joe actually understood.
He looked at Charlotte seriously and said, “I will explain to my uncle and aunt, and if possible, I’m willing to take care of you." Although Congreve and Judy probably wouldn’t give him that chance.
Charlotte sighed helplessly and looked at her swollen wrists and ankles, and the stitches on her arm... Charlotte reluctantly let Joe push her to leave.
Although she would eventually have to tell Congreve and Judy, later was better than sooner. She was about to speak when her phone rang. Seeing “Dad” on the screen, Charlotte’s scalp tingled, and she quickly handed the phone to Joe, saying, “It’s your phone."
Joe saw the display on her phone and then looked at Charlotte, who was curled up, and smiled helplessly.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Uncle...”
Before Joe could speak, Congreve scolded him, and he didn’t have a chance to say a word for a full ten minutes. Seeing Joe being reprimanded, Charlotte couldn’t help but take the phone with sympathy.
“Dad.”
Congreve, who was in the middle of scolding, immediately softened his voice, “Sweetheart, where are you? I'll come pick you up right away!"
Hearing Congreve’s words, Charlotte’s eyes turned sour, and her voice became choked, “Dad...” She said with a grievance, “I’m in so much pain.” Hearing her words, Congreve’s heart broke.
He said anxiously, “Wait there, I'll be right there.”
