Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 73

In the room.

Charlotte hugged her legs as she curled up on the couch. Her messy hair covered most of her face. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She looked as if her spirits had been completely shattered.

A "creak" broke the silence and the tightly secured door was pushed open.

Charlotte no longer had the strength to see who it was.

After three days of struggle, her body was too exhausted to do anything.

Now all she could do was hope Madam Lane would eventually be clear-minded enough to let her go home.

But what worried her most was Sheryl. She was surely afraid of being home alone.

"Mommy!"

Was it an illusion?

Charlotte raised her head instantly and looked towards the door. She could discern two figures from the blinding lights.

Was it Sheryl and Shane?

Suddenly, her mind turned blanked before darkness consumed her and she fainted.

"Mommy, mommy, what's wrong?"

Sheryl nudged her unconscious body anxiously but there was no response. She looked at Shane with fear and cried, "Mr. Handsome, please save my mommy."

Shane patted Sheryl's head then he picked Charlotte up in his arms.

He was shocked. This strong-willed woman was as light as a feather. He was afraid her body would break if he wasn't gentle.

After a short moment of silence, Shane strode out of the Fuller Residence and left with Sheryl.

In the VIP ward of the hospital.

Henry gave Charlotte a full-body examination. Finally, he diagnosed that Charlotte was simply exhausted. All she needed was a good rest.

Shane held Sheryl who was sleeping, his face was filled with anguish.

Henry was surprised by his actions, he gently quipped, "Hey, is this your daughter? You both look quite alike."

Shane's lips quirked up into a smile at his words but it quickly turned into a frown.

'No, she's not." "No?" Henry obviously found it unbelievable. But from the looks of it, Shane wasn't lying either. He could only blame the power of the human genes.

"By the way, did you really sign a marriage certificate with her?" Henry couldn't help but asked as he looked at Charlotte, who was still in a slumber.

Last time, they parted in such a hurry, he wasn't able to take a good look at her. Now, he could tell this woman was much more good looking in comparison to Yuliana.

"Not bad. Not bad at all." Henry nodded approvingly.

However, he had been talking to himself all along as Shane's gaze was solely focused on Charlotte the whole time.

His eyes were filled with a mix of emotions.

He signed the contract with Charlotte for two reasons. First, he wanted to get rid of Yuliana. Second, he wanted to please his grandmother.

But, when he saw her faint before his eyes, there was a burning sensation in his heart.

He had never felt this way for anyone.

Could it be that this woman had taken a very important place in his heart without him

knowing it?
