Chapter 1045: Chapter 1045: Not of Great Significance
"Ouch," Charlotte Thompson said as she smacked her forehead.
She hurriedly took out her cellphone from her pocket and saw many missed calls and messages from Justin Battleson.
Charlotte silently cursed herself; she had muted her phone when she entered the police station and had now forgotten about something important.
Justin probably worried a lot after not being able to reach her.
"Are you going to answer it or not?" Jordan Thompson urged Charlotte.
Only then did she snap out of her daze, intending to take Jordan’s phone to answer the call, but the phone automatically disconnected due to the long ringing time.
Charlotte twitched the corners of her mouth and decided to use her own phone to call Justin Battleson.
Justin answered almost instantly.
"Charlotte, where are you? Why haven’t you replied to my messages or taken my calls?" Justin’s tone clearly conveyed his anxiety.
"I’m sorry for making you worry. I had muted my phone and didn’t hear it. I’m currently at—"
But Charlotte was interrupted before she could finish, as a nurse walked in holding a clipboard, glancing at Vincent.
"Mr. Vincent, your wounds have been treated. If you feel no discomfort, you may be discharged right away."
However, everyone present, including Justin, who was on the other end of the call, heard the nurse’s words clearly.
"You’re at a hospital? Which hospital? What happened?"
There was a faint sound from the other end of the phone, and Charlotte knew that Justin was coming to find her.
Hearing the concern in Justin’s voice, Charlotte quickly tried to reassure him, "Justin, don’t worry about me; I’m fine. I’m here not because of me but because Vincent got injured trying to save me."
"Vincent?"
Justin initially felt unfamiliar with the name but after a moment, he remembered that Charlotte did know a person named Vincent who seemed to be a doctor.
Justin acknowledged with a sound and immediately asked for Charlotte’s location before rushing over.
Despite hanging up, the worry between Charlotte’s brows did not ease.
"Was that Justin’s call? Aren’t you happy he’s coming?" Vincent asked curiously, noticing Charlotte’s expression after the call.
"I’m just afraid he’s worried," Charlotte responded knowingly.
Vincent chuckled dryly, "It seems you two really care about each other, thinking of how loving you two must be."
Hearing Vincent’s words, Charlotte felt slightly embarrassed and lowered her head.
"In that case, why did you give birth to your children alone all those years ago, without Justin by your side?" Vincent asked without any hesitation.
Although his words successfully choked Charlotte.
"I..."
Charlotte didn’t know how to explain it.
But seeing her hesitation, Vincent quickly said, "Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked, it must be something you don’t want to bring up."
Charlotte adjusted her hair and then said, "Even though that’s true, it’s been many years. Bringing it up doesn’t really matter anymore."
"By the way."
While speaking, Vincent took something out of his pocket.
