Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Chapter 174

Braden shrank back.

At this moment, it was better for him not to speak.

Charlotte had been transferred to the ICU.

Under normal circumstances, people like her who had escaped dangerous situations didn't have to go to the ICU.

But since there was space and Rick was willing to spend the money, the doctor made the arrangements.

Rick had been accompanying her the whole time.

"Rick," Anne said softly. "You should eat something, okay?"

"Sorry, Anne, I can't eat anything right now." Rick looked back at her and forced himself to smile at her.

"You said you didn't mind her before, but I think she will be very upset. I'll go find her a good plastic surgeon, okay?" Anne asked tentatively.

She wanted to do something to divert Rick's attention.

So that he wouldn't be so sad.

Rick nodded mechanically and said, "Go ahead."

Anne wanted to say something but didn't. In the end, she sighed and left the room.

Not long after Anne left, Charlotte woke up.

She opened her eyes, licked her lips, and struggled to say, "Water..."

She was talking!

Rick reacted at once. He took a glass of water and used a cotton swab to feed it to her.

After Charlotte drank some water, her thoughts became clearer.

When she saw Rick beside her, she smiled and said, "Rick, with you by my side, I feel much safer."

"I'll always be here. I'm sorry I was late today." He put down the cup and gently stroked her brows. "I'm sorry, Lottie, it's all my fault."

Charlotte wanted to shake her head, but her neck was stiff and she couldn't move it. "It doesn't matter. It's just... What happened to me? I don't seem to be able to move my neck."

"You have an injury on your neck, so you can't move it for the time being. Everything will be fine when the anesthetic wears off." Rick softly coaxed her. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Charlotte replied with a smile, "It's just that when I ran out of the room, I crashed through the glass window. My face shouldn't look too good, right?"

"There weren't too many cuts on your face. Your neck had about 20 stitches. On your body too. Anne has already gone to find a plastic surgeon." Rick worried about her mood and so held her hand tightly. "As long as I'm here, you won't be disfigured."
