Chapter 600: Chapter 600: May you be happy.
Charlotte didn’t say anything more, nodding in agreement.
Knowing that they were going to meet Annie, Grace was so delighted that she was nearly jumping up and down, she said to Charlotte without bothering to change her clothes, "Mom, let’s go right now."
Hearing this, Charlotte chuckled, "Grace, change out of your pajamas, I’ll go downstairs and wait for you."
At her words, Grace’s eyes lit up, she nodded heavily, then turned and scampered back into her room to change.
...
In the hospital.
Charlotte held Grace’s hand and took the lead into the ward, with the boys obediently trailing behind them.
Hearing the door pushed open, the three people in the ward turned almost simultaneously to look towards the door.
Charlotte put down the flowers in her hand, walked to the bedside meeting Annie’s surprised gaze, and gave her a gentle hug.
Annie’s body had a faint scent of medicine and she had lost much weight. She was so frail that it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.
Charlotte patted her back comfortingly, saying, "It’s been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Annie chuckled and said, "Indeed, please take a seat."
On the other side, Grace happily took Olivia’s hand and they sat down in the corner of the ward, the two little girls had so much to talk about, they started confiding in each other with laughs.
Grace would animate wildly while talking, Olivia, on the other hand, was different, she had a happy glow in her eyes, and was gently gazing at Grace with an upturned corner of her mouth.
Charlotte helplessly chuckled and shook her head.
If someone didn’t know better, they might think that Olivia was the elder sister.
Dragging her gaze away from the two children, Charlotte pulled up a chair and sat down next to the sickbed, making some small talk with Annie.
She hesitated for a moment, her gaze filled with worry, "You’ve lost weight."
The person in front of her still retained the soft aura, but it seemed to be overlaid with frailty.
She was like a delicate porcelain doll.
Upon hearing this, Annie chuckled lightly and said, "It doesn’t matter, I’ve been wanting to lose weight and couldn’t."
Knowing that she was trying to lighten the mood, Charlotte felt a bit disoriented in her heart, all she could do was sigh and not say anything else.
When they left the hospital, it was already dusk. Grace reluctantly waved at Olivia and then turned around to follow Charlotte down the stairs.
Remembering what Jordan had said, Charlotte drove straight to Henry Hudson’s villa.
The person who opened the door was still Henry, only this time the roles were different.
Henry stepped aside to let them in, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth, at the same time suppressing a trace of bitterness.
After going upstairs, Jordan was still sitting on the couch, his posture unusually upright, only this time he wasn’t watching TV.
Charlotte also sat down, accepting the cup of water handed to her by Henry.
The warmth from the warm cup continued to flow into her body. Charlotte sipped her lips, watching Henry sit down across from her.
After a few seconds of thought, she clenched her hand and finally decided to speak up.
"Henry, I....."
Her words were cut off abruptly.
A hint of amusement flickered at the corners of Henry’s mouth, "Charlotte, I know what you’re about to say."
He paused for a moment, then quietly continued, "You’re together with Justin Battleson, aren’t you?"
Charlotte swallowed back her words and nodded.
There was a silence in the air for a few seconds until Henry’s soft laughter broke it.
The man gently raised his eyes, tender warmth in his gaze, the curve of his smile perfect as always, but it was tinged with bitterness.
"Charlotte, this is good."
"You two...be happy."
