After Joe said that, Charlotte didnât continue to refuse and obediently sat down.
Joe had already arranged a team of doctors and quickly completed a full-body examination for Charlotte.
âHer wrists and ankles have minor fractures," the doctor said, frowning slightly.
The most conspicuous injury on Charlotteâs body was the bruise on her neck, a dark purple mark on her fair skin, which looked truly terrifying.
Even though she didnât show it, Charlotte could guess what the doctor was thinking.
She had to explain, âIt wasnât him who did this..."
The doctor then withdrew the thought of reporting the incident to the police, awkwardly smiling at her and saying, âIt's good that it wasnât him."
He prescribed a bunch of medication for Charlotte and instructed her to rest for a month, preferably with someone to take care of her daily life.
Charlotte couldnât bear to think about how difficult her life would be if Congreve and Judy found out about this.
She looked at the doctor and asked, âCan | stay in the dorm in my condition?"
The doctor shook his head, âAlthough fractures are not as serious as breaks, itâs best to rest as much as possible to aid recovery.â
The light in Charlotteâs eyes completely dimmed.
On the other hand, Joe nodded and said, âI'll take care of your leave."
She wasnât afraid of not being able to take leave at all! She looked at Joe, hesitated, and Joe actually understood.
He looked at Charlotte seriously and said, âI will explain to my uncle and aunt, and if possible, Iâm willing to take care of you."
Although Congreve and Judy probably wouldnât give him that chance.
Charlotte sighed helplessly and looked at her swollen wrists and ankles, and the stitches on her arm... Charlotte reluctantly let Joe push her to leave.
Although she would eventually have to tell Congreve and Judy, later was better than sooner.
She was about to speak when her phone rang.
Seeing âDadâ on the screen, Charlotteâs scalp tingled, and she quickly handed the phone to Joe, saying, âItâs your phone."
Joe saw the display on her phone and then looked at Charlotte, who was curled up, and smiled helplessly.
âUncle...â
Before Joe could speak, Congreve scolded him, and he didnât have a chance to say a word for a full ten minutes.
Seeing Joe being reprimanded, Charlotte couldnât help but take the phone with sympathy.
âDad.â
Congreve, who was in the middle of scolding, immediately softened his voice, âSweetheart, where are you? I'll come pick you up right away!"
Hearing Congreveâs words, Charlotteâs eyes turned sour, and her voice became choked, âDad...â
She said with a grievance, âIâm in so much pain.â
Hearing her words, Congreveâs heart broke.
He said anxiously, âWait there, I'll be right there.â
