Not One, But Two!
Chapter 223
Chapter 223
Charlotte remembered her father shouting at her the exact same way Craig did.
Unwittingly, her body froze in fear. By the time she realized what was happening, Craig had slammed the door shut with his leg. He thrust her onto the passenger seat and strapped her in.
"I think we need to have a talk about you and Hitman Island."
Her face went stark white upon hearing that. However, she knew there was no point in keeping it a secret since she had never once thought of running away.
"Fine, but can you take me to my parents first?"
She had been kidnapped soon after her parents' death. For years, she was unable to visit their graves.
After all, they were war heroes, so they were buried in a war grave, a place she could never enter.
She was a stain on their glorious achievements and the lives they have led.
Out of the blue, all of her strength broke before the sight of Craig's uniform.
She did not want this to begin with.
With good grades and great stamina, she wanted to join the military, as her parents wanted her to, or the police force. She had never wanted to walk a path that was the complete opposite of her parents' lives.
If her parents were still alive, they would likely have had a heart attack over the life she led.
She hurriedly turned to look away. Still, he was able to spot the tears streaming down her cheeks. His heart throbbed in pain.
"I'll take you to a florist first. Let us get two bouquets."
"Thank you."
She nodded obediently.
Other than meeting up with Abigail, she had planned to visit her parents' grave while she was in Harrion. This might be her last chance to do so, after all.
Even if she was a stain upon their perfect careers, even if she did not deserve to stand before them, she truly missed them. Oh, how she missed them...
All words left Craig's mind when he saw the look on her face.
"Let me clean up my wound first."
His head was still bleeding. While it looked terrifying, as all head wounds tend to be, it was just a minor injury.
He grabbed the first-aid kit from the back.
Before he could do or say anything, she took it from him.
"Let me."
Contrary to the chill in her voice, her hands were warm and gentle. Her unique and womanly scent filled his nose as she had to lean in close.
He nervously shuffled away from her but froze awkwardly when she said, "Don't move."
Charlotte was focusing her full attention on treating the wound.
How long had it been since she had cleaned and dressed someone else's wounds?
It must have been before her parents passed away.
