A trace of pain flashed across Dr. Garieâs eyes. âYeah, she has terminal stomach cancer.â
Joe looked at Dr. Garie in astonishment, as if he was telling a horror story. But Dr. Garie looked very calm. Maybe it had been too long, and he was numb to the fact.
âThatâs why I canât leave here. You have to come here,â Dr. Garie didnât want to talk about this topic anymore. He looked at Joe seriously.
Joe nodded. âWeâll leave now, and come back in a few daysâ¦â
âOf course, no problem.â Dr. Garie had long expected that he would make such a request. âHer current situation is stable. As long as she is not stimulated again, she can maintain her current state, but she will not regain her memory.â
Joeâs heart sank.
Joe hadnât caught Smollett yet, and they didnât even know if Smollett was dead or alive. Anyway, he was like a ticking time bomb hidden in the dark. If it couldnât be dealt with in time, it would become very tricky.
âThank you.â Joe stood up. âI will finish my affairs in the shortest amount of time and bring her here for treatment.â
Dr. Garie nodded, âOkay.â
Charlotte didnât wake up until the afternoon of the next day.
However, Charlotteâs condition had improved a lot. Not only had the dark circles under her eyes receded significantly, but even her eyes had become lively.
Charlotte hugged Joe as soon as she woke up.
âJoe, I didnât have a nightmare!â Charlotte almost cried with joy.
During this period of nightmare, Charlotte was like a drowning person trapped in a sticky, dark, and damp swamp. Not only did she have to suffer mental damage all the time, but she might also fall into a state of eternal damnation if she was not careful.
Now, the darkness that had been pressing down on Charlotte had been cleared, which made her feel completely relaxed.
âYeah, congratulations,â Joe kissed her forehead. He was also sincerely happy for her.
When she was in a daze, Joe had been used to such intimate actions. Now that Charlotte was completely awake, both of them felt a little shy.
Joe coughed lightly, and looked at Charlotte, âLetâs go down.â
Downstairs, Evelina had already prepared a table of food. When she saw Charlotte coming down, the smile on her face deepened.
âCharlotte, come on. Youâre too thin, and you need to be in high spirits,â Evelina said as she pushed Charlotte to the dining table. âDonât think about anything now. Have a good meal first.â
Charlotte also knew that this was the good intention of Evelina. She was really hungry, so Charlotte did not refuse.
Joe couldnât remember how long it had been since he last saw Charlotte eating so happily. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldnât help curling his lips.
After dinner, Charlotte obediently followed Dr. Garie into the study again.
More than ten minutes later, Dr. Garie came out with a smile. âAs I expected, her nightmare has been completely solved.â
