Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

“Thanks,” Dr. Felch replied with a sigh, “By the way, about your family, I hope you don’t mind me giving my two cents on the matter.”

He looked at Charlotte searchingly before he continued, “I know I’m just an outsider and I might not know what is going on, but what your belated father said has always stuck to me. The reason why he worked so hard through the grind is none other than his family. He was not interested in power or wealth. All he ever wanted was for his wife and children to enjoy a carefree and peaceful life. Family is what counts at the end of the day.”

Charlotte’s complicated gaze met the old man’s eyes. “I know…”

“I’m sure you know what’s best for you,” Dr. Felch said, patting her hand as he turned toward Sam. “Bring Mr. Nacht in. I’d like to have a word with him.”

“Right away, Dr. Felch.” The apprentice went out immediately to fetch Zachary.

“Why not you go get your hand treated?” Dr. Felch asked Charlotte, turning back toward her. “Could you make me some vegetable beef soup too? I really miss your cooking.”

“Of course. I’ll get going first then.”

Hayley and Charlotte left the room soon after. Charlotte got her burn treated and started making some soup with Hayley.
