Shane received the phone call from Christopher as he got off the plane. He cursed silently in his heart and all his luggage with Cole while he drove to the hospital immediately. Charlotte was rushed to the hospital by Christopher. The wounds on her body were quickly treated.

The doctor looked at Christopher's worried face and reassured, "Don't worry. Although she had suffered many wounds, it's not deep nor life-threatening. She just fainted from the pain." "Thank you." Christopher nodded at his words. "Please give her the best medicine. Make sure her wounds don't leave any scars."

"No problem, don't worry." The doctor snapped her medical records shut, then left the room with the nurse.

Christopher stood quietly at the edge of the bed. After a long period of time, he finally bent over and carefully looked at the whip marks on Lottie's right arm.

He paused for a moment, then gently brushed his fingers across the marks.

He withdrew his hand instantly and his eyes were glossy. "Lottie, I'm sorry. I didn't expect..."

When the doctor left, he didn't close the door completely leaving a gap.

His heart sank. He immediately felt a chill run down his spine as he pushed open the door and walked in.

Christopher looked back at him with a gentle smile on his face. "You're here?"
