“It’s Jeffrey that wronged you, correct?”
Charles didn’t want to stop, “Loredana, is this a small issue?”
“No mater how serious this issue is, it’s not your business. Please do not interfere and go back to your White City. This is a complicated issue. Once you got involved, it is hard to get out from this boat.” Loredana persuaded.
Jeffrey wanted Cormac to marry the woman from the Chambers Family. And the Chambers Family was not ordinary family. They of course had their own intention since they had accepted the offer. This was not the White City, nor Charles’ territory. Why bother if it was the place only to be bullied?
The way that Charles looked at her was more and more serious, “Are you caring about me now?”
Loredana looked into his eyes, responded straightforwardly, “I am grateful since you have saved my life. There was something happened in the White City. And I knew, you didn’t initiate this. Also, I don’t think you could help with my own issue.”
Charles laughed, “How do you know that I couldn’t help?”, his laughter intensified, “Don’t you think it is a good time to cooperate with Cormac and take Jeffery down?”
Loredana smiled, “You still couldn’t give this up.”
“You are right, I can’t give it up. It is my dream to revenge for my adopted father.” Each word reflected the determination of Charles.
Last time he was about to leave after hearing what Loredana had said. But after this happened, he thought it would be an opportunity. He couldn’t take Jeffery down by himself. But it might not be impossible with the help of Cormac.
After all, Cormac and Jeffery were in rivalry.
And they were on the same boat.
Loredana didn’t think she could persuade him, “I’m tired.”
She didn’t want to discuss this with him. She really felt tired.
Charles wanted to hold her hands. At this moment, the door of the ward opened. Charles took back his hand after pausing for two seconds in the air.
The nurse came and ended the injection for Loredana. She asked Loredana to press the hygiene button for a while. “Press it for a while.”
She took the medicine away and handed the recipe from the doctor to Coral. “Do as the recipes suggest every day. This will reduce the symptoms of vomiting for the pregnant woman.” Coral nodded, “Sure, thank you.”
Coral sent the nurse out.
“This is what we are supposed to do.” The leaders had told them. And there were only experts who diagnosed Loredana. Cormac talked to the director by himself.
Charles was super surprised hearing this, pregnant woman, stop vomiting?
Was Loredana pregnant?
He wanted to talk but his lip was frozen.
He felt so bad that he couldn’t talk.
She and Cormac had two kids. They surely were in good terms. But when knowing she was pregnant again, he was still shocked, and this was hard for him to accept.
He asked with a dry voice, “For how long?”
Loredana had nothing to hide, “One month or so.”
Charles held his straight face, “Congratulations.”
“Thanks.”
Coral took the recipe and studied it hardly. She talked to herself sometimes, “Broccolis are much better.”
Broccolis were higher in vitamins. She always thought they were all the same.
There were more green vegetables in the recipe. Since green foods contained high folic acid, there was no need to supplement folic acid. Dietary supplements were easier to be absorbed and healthy. They were available every meal. In addition to the fruit and vegetable mix, every meal had supplements that were high in protein elements, such as shrimp and meat.
“I can’t go back. I have to call home. I will ask them to make some and deliver here.” Coral was doing everything she could to take care of Loredana.
She was afraid that Loredana couldn’t eat and she threw up.
Loredana was accustomed to the care that was from Coral.
Charles felt uncomfortable, “I get going, take care.”
Loredana replied, “Help yourself.”
Charles smiled, “Take care, I can go back home without you sending me.”
Charles went out from the hospital feeling confused. He thought that this was all in a sudden.
Tom followed him, “Aren’t you going back?”
He waved. Now he needed to calm down. Tom had to push him walking along the road, without a destination.
There were a lot of shops near the hospital, eateries, groceries, and flower boutiques.
He looked into the flower shops, and the beautiful flowers. They seemed to be gorgeous even it was reflected from the window. Charles let Tom stop, “Buy me a bunch of… roses.”
Tom was stunned for a moment. Who were these roses bought for?
Everyone knew that roses represented love. Soon, he seemed to think of something else, and he felt unworthy for Charles, “Ms. Flores is already married, why do you have to be so obsessed?” Charles looked up with an unhappy face, “Since when do you get to judge my personal affairs?”
Tom bowed his head, “I’m sorry.”
Charles didn’t want to look into it, he just didn’t like others to interfere with his affairs, “I’ll buy it myself. You push me over.”
“Yes.” Tom lowered his head.
Tom pushed Charles across the street and went into a flower shop. The unique fragrance of the flowers blew against his face. There were many flowers in the shop. The various scents mixed together which created another special smell.
The florist came over to greet them, “May I help you?”
Charles ignored her but rolled his wheelchair toward the location where the roses were placed. The roses were red as the fire, they were also like the sunset glow, they were amazingly beautiful.
The florist quickly realized that what flowers he wanted to buy. She quickly approached him, “May I know how many roses you need?”
Charles said lightly, “Five roses, please.”
The florist froze for a while, and then she smiled and said, “Okay, please wait a moment.”
As she said, she chose five dainty, blooming roses. She filled in the gaps with white pearls. The white pearls set off the red roses, making them look even more beautiful. The florist selected a light-colored wrapping paper to wrap these roses. She had good wrapping skills, and the roses were wrapped beautifully.
“Here you go.” She handed the bouquet to Charles with both hands.
Charles took it and placed it on his laps. He looked down, lightly stroked the petals, and instructed faintly, “Tom, pay for it.”
