Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

An Aspergillosis infection.

Once infected, they have to be careful for the rest of their lives otherwise it would recur. They would have to regularly visit a doctor. It would be fine if it was in the early stages but in severe cases, it would invade the brain and spread to the lungs. The late stages of the infection are fatal.

"You know about this?" Shane was surprised.

"Well, when I was young, my housekeeper contracted this disease because the wooden house he lived in had mold. Everyone's condition is different based on their body. You are so healthy, you shouldn't have been infected."

She's right. In fact, he and Peter didn't stumble into a stream at all. He just wanted to give her an answer she could accept.

So she wouldn't worry about him.

However, Charlotte frowned when she finished speaking. She felt something was suspicious. Shane had such a healthy body, how could he get injured so badly by just running into a stream?

In addition, based on what Cole said, Peter was still unconscious. Which meant...

"Shane, are you lying to me?" Charlotte could sense there was some inconsistency in his words.

"Why would I lie to you?"

"Because you don't want me to worry about you," Charlotte said frankly. Then she sat down on his bed. Although he could not touch him, she could still be close to him.

Shane's face was very pale but he was still as imposing as usual. His lips were badly cracked. Charlotte's heart ached as she reached out to touch his lips, "Can't you drink water now?" "I'm not used to being taken care of."

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh. She walked to the side, picked up a cup of water and used a cotton swab to dab some water on his lips. His dry and cracked skin quickly became moist, no longer as frightening as it was just now.

Shane stared at her intensely and raised his hand to hold her wrist. Charlotte quickly moved her hands away warily. "Don't move, I can't touch you and neither can you touch me. Cole made that very clear."

"I'm fine."

"I can see that you're not."

Shane was now a patient so he couldn't resist Charlotte no matter how he tried. He could only lower his hand and let her feed him the water.

Charlotte put down the cup when his lips no longer looked cracked. "I know you don't like being taken care of but let me look after you from today onwards. I'll discuss with the company and pass the project on to someone else. We'll stay here for the time being."
