Chapter 971: Chapter 971: Little Tricks
"Big brother..." Charlotte’s voice was somewhat choked up.
Henry Thompson realized this and softened his voice even more, "Little princess, don’t cry, don’t worry, I’m here for everything."
Listening to him, Charlotte let out a soft acknowledgment from her throat.
Feeling the presence of family behind her was truly comforting.
Henry Thompson then asked about Grace Thompson’s condition and consoled Charlotte for quite some time. When her emotions had stabilized, he ended the call.
Charlotte let out a sigh of relief but turned around to find Vincent standing beside her.
Having not noticed Vincent’s arrival, Charlotte genuinely got a shock.
Seeing Charlotte’s momentarily panicked expression, Vincent cleared his throat softly, "Sorry, did I scare you?"
Charlotte shook her head, "It’s already so late, why are you still at the hospital?"
It was well past the hospital’s closing time.
"I’m worried about Grace, so I stayed behind just in case anything happened and I could help you," Vincent said kindly.
"How can I trouble you further, and you said that Grace’s condition has stabilized and there shouldn’t be anything to worry about," Charlotte spoke up.
Vincent’s smile didn’t fade, "I’m your friend, and being able to help you makes me happy. I have already contacted the hospital so if they find a heart match for your daughter, they will contact me immediately."
After saying this, Vincent looked around and asked in confusion, "Isn’t Mr. Battleson here?"
"He took the children back home," Charlotte replied frankly.
Vincent turned his head to gaze at Charlotte, letting her reflection fill his beautiful eyes.
"Is he... the biological father of your children?"
"Yes," Charlotte replied.
She had no intention of hiding it, especially since she and Justin Battleson had already made their relationship public.
"But I seem to have heard that you haven’t remarried? Why is that?" Vincent asked curiously.
At this question, Charlotte looked a bit dazed, and her gaze shifted away, "Because of some reasons of mine..."
Out of the corner of his eye, Vincent spotted someone coming around the corner and subtly curved his lips upward.
"Ouch."
Just as Charlotte was lost in thought, Vincent suddenly yelped in front of her, and when Charlotte turned, she saw him covering one of his eyes with his hand.
"What happened?" Charlotte asked worriedly.
"It seems a little bug flew into my eye, Charlotte, can you help me check it out?"
Saying this, Vincent stepped sideways right in front of Charlotte, his hand bracing against the wall while he slightly bent over due to his height.
"Let me see."
Charlotte’s gaze stayed fixed on Vincent’s eye, but she didn’t notice how ambiguous their position looked to others.
It was as if...they were kissing.
"You..."
Just as Charlotte was leaning in closer to Vincent, a hand abruptly clamped down on her arm and yanked her away.
Charlotte stumbled and fell directly into a firm embrace, looking up to see only Justin Battleson’s tightly pursed lips and icy demeanor.
"What are you doing?"
Justin Battleson was holding back the rage in his heart.
He was worried about Charlotte so he hurried back from Stardust Garden to the hospital, only to see her chatting happily with Doctor Vincent here.
And the next moment, they were apparently "kissing"!
