The Cherished Wife

Chapter 301



Charles pressed his lips together, a dark look crossing his face as he glanced at Peter. "Mind your words, Peter!"

Peter raised an eyebrow and gave Charles's shoulder a reassuring pat. "Relax. Nobody's brave enough to make trouble here," he said, then looked over at Sean, who had not said a word. "Why are you just standing there?"

Sean, who usually was smiling, looked serious. "Looks like someone's pushing Charles too far!" he said, hinting at something. However, Charles just gave Sean a quick look. "You're staying right here."

"Hey!" Sean complained. "Why should I?"

"Because you're a doctor. It's your job to save lives," Charles said, then he grabbed his coat and left.

Sean tried to follow, but Peter blocked him. Peter smiled slyly, his hand resting on Sean's shoulder. "He's off to find his lady. This isn't your rodeo." "You don't get it. Charles is usually so calm, but he gets all worked up around this lady. You might not have seen her, but I have a few times. She's really pretty, and she kind of looks like him too. But she always gets Charles stirred up. I'm worried..." Sean said.

"There's nothing to worry about!" Peter's eyes darkened, and he let out a dismissive snort. Charles is the most level-headed out of all of us besides Mr. Fischer. He knows what he's after. You don't need to butt in."
