CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1624

There were too many situations like this and she couldn't possibly help them all. And when it came to other people's family matters, stepping in often felt like an impossible dream. She had to take back what she said earlier. Not every mother loved her child. There were selfish and terrible mothers out there too.

What worried Jamie most was how today's incident might shape Charlie's values. For children, character and perspective were everything.

She spent the entire way home fretting, and once there, gently probed him to see how he was processing the event, ready to comfort him if needed.

To her surprise, Charlie seemed far more adaptable than she had expected. He even said something that left her stunned. "I know that girl's mom is a bad mom, but my mom isn't, so I won't listen to her." Jamie was speechless for a moment before a smile of relief spread across her face.

Once Jamie's mother's condition stabilized and she stopped waking up in the middle of the night screaming, Jamie was finally able to return to work.

Her assistant's envy over her leave was practically written across his face. "Jamie, you get so much time off. Can you maybe talk to Mr. Lucas and ask him to share some of it with me? Just a little would be enough." Clearly fed up with his workload, he sighed dramatically.

Jamie chuckled, "You'll have to ask him yourself for that."

The assistant shuddered at the mere thought. "Never mind. Forget I said anything."

"Jamie, can you do me a favor and take these documents to Mr. Lucas?" a female colleague chimed in, poking her head around the corner.
