<b>Chapter </b><b>22 </b>
Charlotte took it <b>and </b><b>said </b>lightly, “Thank <b>you</b>.”
<b>She </b><b>walked </b><b>past </b><b>Caroline </b><b>and </b><b>entered </b><b>the </b>office.
<b>I </b><b>casually </b>threw <b>the </b><b>small </b><b>gift </b><b>into </b><b>the </b><b>cab</b>.
<b>She </b>did <b>receive</b><b>. </b>
<b>But </b><b>whether </b><b>to </b><b>use </b>it <b>or </b><b>not </b>is <b>another </b>matter.
Caroline walked in <b>at </b>the <b>moment</b><b>, </b>still smiling on her <b>face</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Dr. Sutton, do <b>you </b>know Jaxson<b>?</b><b>” </b>
She turned <b>on </b>the <bputer </b>and looked <b>at </b>Caroline’s probing <b>eyes</b><b>, </b>losing her <b>smile</b>.
“Not <b>familiar</b><b>.</b>”
“I <b>thought </b><b>you </b><b>were </b>close with <b>Jaxson</b>.” Caroline pretended to be regretful, then smiled and said, “But <b>it’s </b>okay, in the <b>future </b><b>if </b><b>you </b><b>need </b>anything<b>, </b><b>you </b><b>can </b><be </b>to me and I’ll talk to Jaxson for you. <b>Jaxson </b>is such a good <b>person</b><b>, </b><b>you </b><b>have </b>no idea. Last night, Collin <b>had </b><b>a </b><b>stomachache</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>Jaxson <b>came </b><b>over </b><b>in </b>the middle of <b>the </b>night just to take <b>care </b>of him all night.”
Charlotte’s breath caught.
<b>Last </b>night she had already guessed that <b>Jaxson </b>went to <b>see </b>Caroline.
But unexpectedly, it was because Caroline’s <b>son </b><b>was </b>not feeling <b>well</b>.
Thinking back to when she <b>was </b>feeling unwell before, she hoped Jaxson would be by <b>her </b><b>side</b>, but instead, she <b>received </b>his <b>indifference</b><b>… </b>
Charlotte suppressed the feeling of loss in her heart and came <b>to </b>her <b>senses</b>, “Really? That’s <b>great</b>, he <b>is </b><b>very </b>ambitious <b>as </b><b>a father </b><b>of </b><b>a </b>child.”
Caroline wanted to <b>test </b>the waters with <b>Jaxson</b>.
But she didn’t expect to have such a misunderstanding about the father of the child…
That makes it easier.
Caroline didn’t exin, she just smiled and said, “Yes, he <b>was </b>nning to register Collin.”
Charlotte’s expression froze.
Registered <b>residence</b>?
Did he want to acknowledge Collin?
Ms. Warren, a patient is looking for
u for <b>consultation</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
The nurse’s voice came from outside
door.
After Caroline responded, she looked at the indifferent Charlotte, hoping she <b>was </b>just overthinking.
“Sorry, Dr. Sutton, I have to go busy first<b>.</b>”
She turned around and walked away, a hint <b>of </b>satisfaction shing in her eyes.
Charlotte’s clenched hand slowly 1 ned.
After taking a deep breath, a smirk <b>appeared </b>at <b>the </b><b>corner </b>of his mouth.
He wanted to acknowledge this child, what <b>does </b>it have to do with her<b>. </b>
