Bye, My Irresistible Love

Caroline’s POV: 

I couldn’t tell if he was awake or asleep, so I asked, "Are you awake?"

"Yep," Charles replied in a nasal voice.

He paused for a moment until he slowly opened his eyes.

It was obvious that he was feeling very uncomfortable.

Charles’ eyes were a bit misty, which made him look befuddled.

Even so, he still smiled at me the moment he saw me.

"Why are you here?" he asked.

My heart ached for him.

Instead of answering his question, I said, "You have a fever, Charles.You should go to the hospital."

He didn’t respond to my suggestion and just chuckled at me.

I felt really bad for him, and I was worried for his health.And when he smiled at me, I got annoyed a little.

"Charles, you’re burning up.How can you laugh at a time like this? Why don’t you go to a doctor? Are you a child or something?"

"Fine… fine.I’m going to the hospital right away," he said.

I was actually surprised that he obeyed me.

It made me wonder why Amy was unsuccessful in convincing him.

Out of the blue, Charles added, "But you have to come with me."

For a moment, I didn’t know how to respond.

Then, I said to him, "Just take Amy with you.She’s really worried about you."

"Aren’t you worried about me too?"

Charles was looking at me like he wanted to see through me.

In all honesty, I was sad about this.I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t worried about him.

"I’m gonna tell Amy to come in here and take you to the hospital," I said.

Just as I was about to stand up, he asked, "Did Edward prohibit you from ever seeing me again?"

"Huh?"

I was confused by the sudden change of the subject.

Charles leaned against the back of the chair, gazing into my very soul.

"Simon said it over the phone last night."

Only then did it dawn on me that Charles was the one who answered Simon’s call for me last night.

Now I understood why I saw the call log this morning but didn’t remember talking to him at all.
