Chapter 401.
During their time at Brocade Retreat, even that night when he forced her, they never slept in the same bed.
His eyes were deep. “I heard you talking in your sleep.”
Charlotte shuddered. Did she talk in her sleep?
Did you say anything?
Looking at her confused face, he suddenlyughed, “So nervous, who did you dream about?”
Charlotte avoided his gaze, “No one…”
Jaxson pulled back his smile, fixed his eyes on her, and looked really hard to read.
He stared <i>at </i>her and made her feel numb, Charlotte turned over andy down, “I’m going to sleep.”
He hugged her from behind, his cheek against her neck, “Yeah, go to sleep.”
Charlotte curled up a little, didn’t move, and closed her eyes.
The next morning.
Charlotte and Jaxson had breakfast in the living room, but they were still a bit bothered byst night’s dream.
She didn’t know what that dream meant. Maybe it was because she’d been around Nigel these days, so she subconsciously projected the boy in her dream onto him…
If that boy hadn’t distracted the thug back then, there’s no way she and Jaxson could’ve gotten out so easily…
It wasn’t untilter when the news said there were only two survivors, so that boy back then was also gone.
How could it have been Nigel?
Jaxson had already noticed her expression and put some food in her bowl, “Just a nightmare,
nothing to worry
Just a nightmare…
about.”
Charlotte heard what he said, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit bitter inside.
Yeah, he already forgot.
Cynthia walked over to Jaxson and leaned down to whisper something in his ear. Jaxson put down his knife and fork and slowly wiped his mouth with a napkin, “Did they sign the contract?”
Cynthia said, “It’s already signed.”

“When did you move?”
“They said they could move today.”

After Cynthia left, Jaxson looked up at Charlotte and said, “I bought the Sutton’s residence back for you. When we get back to Boston, you can live wherever
you want.”
Her movements froze, and she gripped the knife and fork tighter.
Lost my appetite instantly.
“I never thought about going back.”
The smile in his eyes faded a bit, “Not nning to go back?”
“Jaxson, the moment I sold the Sutton’s residence, I never nned to go back to Boston, and besides, I didn’t want to go back.” Charlotte stood up.
“Come back.”
Jaxson called out to her from behind.
She paused for a second, didn’t look back.
The man stared at her back and his tone softened a bit, “Eat your breakfast first, don’t go hungry.”
Charlotte took a deep breath, turned to the nurse, and said, “Pack it up for me, I’ll take it to the hospital to eat.

She went back to the bedroom.
Jaxson thought about the sleep talk she saidst night.
It seemed like there was a man in that dream who was really important to her, she ran away but still cared about that man’s safety.
His face looked gloomy, and he gripped his utensils tightly.
The caregiver came over with a box, about to pack up the food, when she suddenly noticed his hand holding the knife was bleeding again. She jumped in fright, “Mr. Hamilton, your hand-”
The previous wound hadn’t healed well, and now it was bleeding again.
It was like pain could make him forget the bad stuff.
He stayed calm, “No worries, go ahead and do your thing.”
The caregiver nervously packed up the food and left quickly.
This Mr. Hamilton…
Maybe they had a thing for self–torture?
Charlotte got busy with a few surgeries as soon as she got to the hospital, and she only grabbed a

few bites of breakfast and lunch whenever she had a moment.

She was busy until the afternoon. When she walked out of the operating room, she happened to see Nigel talking to the patient’s family.
Maybe it was because of that weird dream she had yesterday, she couldn’t help but nce at him twice.
After the patient’s family left, he turned to meet her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
She snapped out of it, smiled and changed the subject, “You know the patient’s family?”
He grunted, “They registered me before.”
“No wonder…”
“No wonder what?”
Sheughed and said, “I was wondering who was so kind and even made a surgery n for me.”
Nigel looked at her and was about to say something when a nurse came over. “Mr. Kendall, there’s ady named Warren who said she wanted to see you.”
Last name was Warren…
Charlotte frowned.
Caroline Warren?
Nigel of course noticed the change in her expression and suddenly asked, “Do I need to see it?”
She was stunned and confused, “Why are you asking me if you’ll see her or not?”
He joked, “Aren’t you pretty close with her?”
Charlotte didn’t answer.
He stopped while he was ahead, “Don’t you want to know why she came to me?”
To be honest, she actually didn’t want to know, but since Nigel put it that way, it really made her
curious.
Nigel agreed to meet Caroline.
Charlotte was there too, just in the office bathroom.
When Caroline found out that Nigel finally agreed to see her, she quickly touched up her makeup in the elevator.
She followed the nurse to the door of Nigel’s office, fixed her appearance, went in, and tried her best to smile perfectly, “Mr. Kendall, nice to meet you, my name is Caroline Warren.”
Nigel looked up at her and told her to sit, acting like a doctor. “What’s wrong?”
Her expression froze for a second, but she kept smiling, “I’m not feeling unwell. I came here just

to see you.”
“We didn’t know each other, what did you want from me?”
“Here’s the thing, I was Alonso Hawkins‘ student, and I’m also a friend of Mr. Steward. Mr. Steward said you two grew up together and are best friends.” Caroline tucked her hair behind her ear and looked a bit flirty, “You probably know about Prof. Kendall and Prof. Hawkins working together on the nano therapy, so I thought since we’re kind of partners, we could talk things over first.”
Charlotte frowned.
I remembered that day Prof. Hawkins did speak up for Caroline, so she really was Prof.
Hawkins’s student.
Nigel twirled the pen in his hand, “I wasn’t involved in the nanotherapy research project. You should be looking for Prof. Kendall, not me.”

Caroline paused for a second and quickly said, “It’s okay, just think of it as making a new friend.”
“I didn’t need to make any friends, I wasn’t short of friends.”
One sentence made Caroline really embarrassed.
He really was hard to deal with, just like Reynald said!
“Did Mr. Kendall have some kind of misunderstanding about me?” She looked really pitiful.
Charlotte knew this look of hers all too well, it was her killer move for dealing with men, and

anyway,
“Big sis, first of all, I didn’t even know you, so how could I have any misunderstanding about you? Second, you not only went to the Kendall’s manor to look for me, now you even came to the hospital to find me. At first, I thought you were a serious patient who needed urgent treatment. But now <i>it </i>seems like you really do have some issues. If you need, I could prescribe you some
medicine.”
Caroline choked a bit, her mouth twitching, “…No need.”
If I kept pestering, I was afraid it wouldn’t leave a good impression.
She was just about to leave, but suddenly noticed there was a faint figure hiding in the bathroom. The figure moved slightly.
The shadow looked like a woman.
Caroline bit her lip. So it was keeping a mistress in a golden house. No wonder he turned her
down.
After Caroline left, Nigel finally spoke, “Still noting out?”
