The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 491 New Interrogation

The Newton residence was the only one still buzzing with activity deep into the night.

Karl had asked for a doctor from the A&E department to come.

Charles body was covered in blood, and he seemed severely injured. However, he was whipped by a cane, so his injuries were only external, not internal

Methodically, the doctor cleaned the bloodstains with saline water before applying medicine to the wounds. He then bandaged grave wounds and inserted an anti-inflammatory pill into the mouth of the Charles.

Even though Charles wasn’t fully conscious, he never said anything that would disadvantage his situation. After the treatment was done, the doctor left.

Jasmine sat next to his bed and sobbed “Why did you do that right after you returned here, Charles? Are you truly willing to toss away your life for Gwendolyn?”

While she wasn’t sure of the details, she did receive a general summary of the situation from Gwendolyn. Hence, she more or less guessed why Charles tried to steal Karl’s keys.

Charles was in so much pain that he couldn’t move from his bed. Weakly narrowing his eyes, he turned his sight toward the white curtain with pursed lips. Yes, I was willing to take the risk for Gwendolyn. However, she’s not the sole reason I’m doing this. There’s something new I want to try getting my hands on.

Meanwhile, Jasmine continued to weep as she watched him lost in his thoughts.

Too many things had happened in a relatively short period, which was why she had gotten gloomy and cried more times than in the past years combined.

“You should rest, Jasmine. I’m fine.” Charles looked pale and closed his eyes tiredly.

“Okay. You should sleep early, Charles. I’ll find a way to plead Craig for mercy on your behalf.” Upon finishing her sentence, Jasmine left the room.

The pain and exhaustion were so overwhelming that Charles fell asleep shortly after.

A few hours later, he was woken up by a bodyguard. “You should wake up. Mr. Charles. Mr. Craig is inviting you to the garden.”
