Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: My Heart Aches
Seeing Charlotte Thompson’s aggrieved appearance, Justin Battleson couldn’t help but curve his lips somewhat helplessly.
"Haven’t I told you... that I’m not really in any serious condition? Looking at you like this, one would think I’ve gotten some terminal illness."
"You still have the mood to joke about this!" Charlotte Thompson glared at Justin Battleson, her lips pressed together tightly: "The doctor had to stitch up your wound, that must be serious."
Justin Battleson lifted his uninjured hand and gently scraped the tip of Charlotte Thompson’s nose.
"Silly kitty, it’s just a small wound, why are you getting so worried?"
"Fine, I’m silly, but I can’t help worrying about you," Charlotte Thompson admitted without hesitation.
"Baby Charlotte, don’t cry, seeing you like this really breaks my heart," Justin Battleson said, looking at Charlotte Thompson sincerely.
Charlotte Thompson pressed her palms against her slightly reddened eyes, and slowly her emotions began to settle.
"You too, rushing over so suddenly, do you have any idea how scary that was?"
Remembering the scene on the set, Charlotte Thompson still felt a lingering fear.
"If I hadn’t run over to shield you, wouldn’t you be the one injured right now?"
Justin Battleson spoke very seriously: "What I’m most grateful for now is that I was able to protect you at that moment, even if it meant taking a more serious injury..."
But before Justin Battleson could finish his words, Charlotte Thompson raised her palm to stop him from continuing.
"What are you talking about, could there be an injury more serious than your current one? The doctor said you need to rest quietly in the hospital for a while, especially your shoulder and arm, you must be careful."
Charlotte Thompson carefully relayed the doctor’s instructions to Justin Battleson, and he looked at her earnestness with a gaze filled with tenderness.
Just then, the door to the hospital room was pushed open, and Adam Ross and Harper Gibson entered one after the other. Seeing Justin Battleson on the hospital bed, both of their brows furrowed deeply.
"Big bro, how come I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’ve ended up in the hospital? What exactly happened?"
Adam Ross had heard about Justin Battleson’s injury and hospitalization from Oliver Hudson, so he hurriedly rushed over with Harper Gibson.
"There was an accident with the props on set, got hit by one, but it’s nothing serious," Justin Battleson explained.
"Props on set? Are you investing in some film or TV drama? How come you suddenly ended up on set?" Adam Ross asked, somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, Charlotte Thompson quietly spoke up: "It’s all because of me, if it wasn’t for my lack of attention, Justin wouldn’t have gotten injured trying to save me."
"No, Charlotte, why were you on set in the first place?" Adam Ross was still somewhat confused about the situation, feeling lost after listening for a while.
Charlotte Thompson sighed and briefly explained to Adam Ross and Harper Gibson that she was supposed to deliver costumes to the set but ended up being forced to act.
Both of them looked at each other, taken aback.
"What kind of set is this? Isn’t there anyone responsible even for a prop?" Adam Ross couldn’t help but complain.
"It’s all my fault, I was just negligent," Charlotte Thompson still felt an insurmountable internal barrier of guilt.
Justin Battleson was about to speak to comfort her, but Adam Ross cut in ahead of him.
"No one could have predicted this kind of accident; Charlotte, you shouldn’t blame yourself."
"Right, Sister-in-law, it’s nothing really, Big bro looks pretty spirited right now," Harper Gibson chimed in.
Adam Ross and Harper Gibson took turns comforting her with their words, trying to lift Charlotte Thompson’s spirits from her current distress.
