“Like Lexie.”
Darien froze, hugged his wife, and didn’t say anything.
Mrs. Mercado sighed, “I haven’t seen her for over ten years since she lost her child and changed like that. I don’t know how she’s doing
now.”
“Don’t worry.” Darien said helplessly. “Lexie is doing well at the Stafford’s house, with their son supporting her. And Devan really cares about her, how can he bear to divorce his wife when she’s like this!”
“If I became like Lexie, would you be willing to divorce me?”
Mrs. Mercado nced at him.
Darien shouted in protest, “I didn’t do it! No way, I don’t want to leave!”
Charlotte went to David’s office and told him what Mrs. Mercado said.
David was genuinely happy for her, “Sure, Quelum Hospital has much better benefits than Pornd Hospital. And now with Mrs. Mercado’s rmendation, transferring to Quelum Hospital will <b>be </b>good for <b>you </b><b>in </b>the future.”
Charlotte nodded with a smile.
She was about to <b>leave </b>when she suddenly remembered something, stopped at the door, and said, “David, there’s something I want to ask you.”
David took a sip of tea, “Hmm? What’s up?”
“My transfer report remains the <b>same</b><b>. </b>If anyone asks, just tell them I’m at Pornd Hospital. I don’t really want others to know that I’m actually at Quelum Hospital.”
What she said about <b>“</b><b>others</b><b>” </b>also includes Jaxson.
David agreed.
Charlotte got back to Havenwood <b>Apartments </b><b>in </b>the evening <b>and </b>ran into Jaxson as soon as she walked in. He was wearing a smoke–gray shirt, standing by the floor–to–ceiling window making a phone <b>call</b>. She couldn’t hear what he <b>was </b>talking about.
He also saw Charlotte in the reflection in the <b>ss</b>.
After ending the call, Jaxson slowly turned around and walked towards her, “No cooking tonight, <b>let’s </b>order takeout.”
Charlotte was also too <bzy </b>to cook, so she agreed.
Jaxson ordered delivery from Icon Nightclub, <b>all </b>the delicious dishes were delivered by a special car. Not only that, they also sent a bouquet of roses, two bottles of champagne, and scented candles.
Dinner was quite sumptuous, and the atmosphere was romantic.
Charlotte didn’t even realize his n for a long time.
Jaxson poured champagne and said, “I had work for the past three <b>days</b>, so I couldn’t be with you.”
Charlotte understood the meaning, isn’t this just hispensation afterwards?
“No worries, Anna’s got this.”
Besides, she didn’t need him anyway.
He paused for a few seconds, lifted his eyelids to meet her <b>gaze</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>seemed lost in thought.
Charlotte lowered her head to <b>eat</b><b>, </b>the romantic <b>setting </b><b>on </b>the <b>table </b>seemed to have nothing to do with her, <b>and </b>she didn’t <b>speak </b>
<b>anymore</b>.

After she was full, she didn’t care about Jaxson’s expression and got up to go back to the bedroom.
Took out a medical box from the bag, inside the box was a syringe and a small vial of medicine, it was the Depo–Provera she brought back
from the hospital.
Charlotte went into the bathroom and, just to be safe, she <b>gave </b>herself an injection.
Hearing footsteps outside the door, she quickly put the syringe into the box and hid it in thepartment under the sink.
When Jaxson walked in, her clothes got caught on the door and then quickly pulled back up. She angrily said, “Can’t you knock?”
He leaned against the door, eyebrows <b>raised </b>slightly, “Just finished eating and already taking a shower?”
“I didn’t take a shower, I just changed clothes.”
“No need to change.” Jaxson walked towards her, getting close from behind, and whispered in a low voice, “Anyway, it’s going toe
off.”
His hot breath on her nose burned her skin, she shivered and avoided it, “My arm hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
Thought this guy could hold back <b>and </b>not touch her!
“Does it still hurt<b>?</b><b>” </b>Jaxson gently touched her arm, his eyes showing a hint ofpassion she had never seen before.
