Charity ced her phone on her forehead.


    Chester''s appearance had caused a ripple in her stagnant life.


    However, she could not reject him heartlessly and tell him not to disturb her life.


    If she said those words, what if he took it too hard, especially with his current condition?


    Besides, seeing such a high and mighty person like Chester be a person who struggled to walk, she could not say he deserved it.


    After all, he ended up like that because of her.


    Charity did not know what to reply. After eating, Chester sent her another message, but he was careful with his words. [Am I disturbing you?]


    Chester: [I''m just bored. It''s just Ken and I here every day. There are mountains all around. Whenever I go to the hospital''s garden for a walk during the day, people look pretty scared when they see me. I don''t know when I can be an ordinary person again and leave this pce.]


    Charity consoled him. [Your leg isn''t scary. You''ll definitely recover. Don''t overthink it]


    Chester: [Maybe you''ll already be married when I return.]


    Chester: [I saw your scandal with Josh, and I''ve met him before. He''s an excellent boy, handsome, and a first-ss athlete too. He''s a good match for you.]


    Charity: [You worry too much. The news is fake.]


    Chester: [You''re such a nice person. You can slowly consider suitable guys. You shouldn''t be alone. I''ll feel guilty and sorry.]


    Charity could no longer ignore the weird feeling in her chest. [Are you Chester? It''s not another person messaging me, right?]


    Soon, she received a voice message in a man''s deep and husky voice. Through the phone, he sounded sad but moving. "I''m Chester. I''m telling you the truth. I never thought of this before, but ever since I came here alone, I realized that a lifetime is too long. I didn''t know how to love someone back then. I was too stubborn to know how topromise. I don''t mind being alone for the rest of my life with my condition, but you''re still young." Charity was stunned for some time, but she replied with a voice message. "You don''t have to care about my matters. Just mind your own business."


    Chester: [Okay.]


    He sounded obedient.


    Charity stared at her phone and was utterly speechless.


    When Chester, who was far away in Country R, knew that Charity might not reply, he put down his phone in a pleasant mood. Then, he nced at Ken, who had appeared beside him at some point.


    Ken''s gaze was indescribable. "President Jewell, are you still... the President Jewell I know?"


    After seeing Eliza''s scandal, Chester was irritable and had an unpredictable mood for two days. His temper was even fiercer than a rainstorm in summer.


    However, he seemed to have turned into a love saint today.


    Had he learned topromise?


    To hell with that.


    "What do you know?" Chester nced at Ken coldly. "I''ve been doing a lot of thinking these days. I can''t just give up because my leg is crippled and my face disfigured."


    Wait. Isn''t he going to give up, especially in this condition?''


    Who gave him that confidence?''


    Ken gave Chester a thumbs up. His boss was truly remarkable.


    Chester smiled. "To other people, my crippled leg is terrifying and disgusting. However, to Eliza, it doesn''t seem that way. She''ll only feel guilty toward me. Men must know how to show their weaknesses sometimes. I was too dominating back then, and now, the more Ipromise, she might get soft-hearted."


    Ken thought, ''What a cunning man.''
