Chapter 210
Suddenly, Emily heard the man emit a soft “hmm.” She swiftly raised her gaze, catching sight of the man opening his eyes. Their eyes locked in a brief yet powerful moment of connection. Emily found herself unable to utter a word, while the man questioned if he was still in a dream. The girl before him seemed strangely familiar
For a fleeting moment, uncertainty gripped Emily as the man remained motionless and silent. Had she rendered him speechless or blinded him?
Feeling anxious, Emily stood up, waved her hand in front of the man’s eyes, and cautiously inquired, “Hey, can you see me?”
Charlie frowned and spoke with a hoarse voice, “I feel dizzy, get your hand away!”
Emily immediately withdrew her hand, relieved that he wasn’t dumb or blind.
Charlie felt a wave of dizziness with even the slightest movement, limiting him to shifting his eyes to survey his surroundings. He questioned, “Is this a hospital?”
“Yes,” Emily confirmed.
Charlie appeared perplexed ‘But how did I end up here?“.
Glancing at Emily once more, he inquired, “And why are you here as well?”
Emily’s eyes widened in surprise ‘Don’t you remember?”
Frowning, Charlie expressed his confusion. “What happened?!”
Emily’s expression changed, concerned that he might have lost his memory. She cautiously asked, ‘Do you know who you are? Can you recall the year we’re in?”
Charlie glared at her, “I just can’t remember how I fainted!”
“Oh, I see Emily laughed awkwardly, wondering whether to tell him the truth.
She was afraid he would jump up and hit her if she told the truth, especially since the policewoman with her hadn’t come back.
“Well, it’s like this,” Emily chuckled, “last night I was running downstairs and saw you passed out, so I called an ambulance to take you to the hospital. I don’t know how you fainted, though. How about you think about it?
Charlie frowned, remembering that he had had a late night and had drunk a lot. Reef offered to take him to the Royal Mansion to rest.
He seemed to have gone upstairs by himself, but after that, he couldn’t remember anything!
His head throbbed with dizziness, accompanied by a lingering ache and a hint of nausea. Charlie decided to close his eyes and rest for a while.
“You can sleep a little longer if you need to. Just let me know if you want water, Emily kindly offered, gently tucking a blanket over him.
Despite his pale complexion, the man’s voice carried a cold tone as he spoke with closed eyes. “Thank you for bringing me to the hospital, but you can leave now. I don’t need you to take care of me
Emily wished she could simply depart, but she couldn’t do so at this moment.
As a policewoman entered the room and noticed Charlies closed eyes, she whispered, is he still sleeping?”
Emily responded, “He woke up for a bit, then fell back asleep”
“Oh!” the policewoman nodded. ‘Let’s eat first. The doctor will be here later.“.
As they ate, the police officer from last night arrived, and the doctor came to check on Charlie, giving him some IV fluid. When they pricked his wrist, Charlie woke
up
The police officer had already checked his ID and smiled politely. “Mr. Dulle, how are you feeling?”
Charlie nodded slightly, a bit confused as to why the police were there, too.
He slowly asked, “What’s going on?”
The police officer explained, “Well, last night you went back to your house at the Royal Mansion and Ms. Sullivan mistook you for a thief. She accidentally hit you with a baseball bat, and you were brought here.”
Charlie hesitated and asked, “Who did you say hit me?”
“It was Ms. Sullivan, but it wasn’t on purpose!” The officer spoke up for Emily.
Upon hearing the officer’s remark, Charlie’s gaze narrowed as he directed it towards Emily. “So that’s what happened!”
Realization struck him–the truth behind his current state. She had deceived him, knocking him unconscious, and now she had the audacity to claim she saved him
on the street it was a web of lies!
Emily, positioned behind the officer, avoided meeting Charlie’s eyes. In a moment of desperation, she shifted her attention to the officer and asked, “What did you say? Are you implying that the house belongs to him?”
