Charles' POV:

I went straight to the hospital after coming out of the bar, and just when I was about to enter, I saw a doctor walking out of Scarlett's ward.

Without thinking too much, I entered the ward.

Scarlett was on the bed with her eyes closed.

I walked to the bedside, stared at her face for a moment before I leaned in and kissed her forehead.

Scarlett did not open her eyes, but I noticed her eyelashes quivering.

However, I pretended like I did not notice it and continued to kiss her.

"Charles, you're pushing it! Stay away from me!" Just when I was about to kiss her lips, she put her hand on my chest, stopping me from getting any closer.

"I know that you are pretending to be asleep. I saw the doctor just a second ago. Did he say anything?" I held her hand.

She looked at me in silence, but she was not willing to talk to me at all.

Knowing that she still hated me, I did not expect her to respond. But her coldness still made me feel powerless.

Sighing heavily, I let go of her hand, and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.

Scarlett's POV:

I heaved sigh of relief after I saw Charles walk into the bathroom.

No matter how coldly I treated him, he kept approaching me relentlessly.

His persistence only made me feel uneasy and upset, and I just wanted to run away from him.

A while later Charles walked out of the bathroom.

He then lay on the bed and hugged me tightly from behind.

"Good night, Scarlett." There was a hint of tiredness in his voice.
