Chapter 304

He didn’t push her away, but waited for her nightmare to end, making sure she was soundly asleep

before continuing to wipe her body and tuck

her in.

Half an hour later hoped her sweat with a hot towel again. This time Emily was still restless, tossing

and turning in bed. Charlie had to be careful not to let her pa on the needle, while he himself got quite a

workout,

After doing this several times he was drenched in sweat himself. He had never taken care of someone

like this in his whole life.

After wiping her sweat again, she finally fell into a sound sleep. novelbin

Charlie looked at the sleeping girl and revealed a smile that was both helpless and gentle.

He went to the master bedroom to take a shower, and when he came back, the medicine in the bottle

was almost finished. He carefully removed the needle for Emily, touched her forehead, and found it

cooler.

Letting out a long sigh, he opened her wardrobe, found her pajamas, and helped her put them on

before tucking her in again, and then left her room quietly.

It was almost three o’clock in the morning. When he returned to his bedroom, Charlie felt exhausted but

he couldn’t fall asleep, worrying that Emily might kick the blanket off again.

Tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, Charlie simply got up and went to check on Emily again.

Seeing her sleep soundly, with her blanket still in the same position as when he left, he couldn’t help

but feel a little ridiculous.

It wasn’t until dawn that Charlie finally dozed off. Because he had to leave the house at six, his alarm

clock rang less than two hours later. The sky outside was already getting bright. Charlie checked on

Emily first, saw her sleeping well, not having a fever again, nor kicking off the blanket. He watched her

for a while and then left her room.

At six o’clock, Charlie called Estelle.

Upon hearing that Emily was sick, Estelle immediately woke up and got dressed, before coming

downstairs.

Charlie said: “Sorry for waking you up at this time.”

“No problem. How’s Emily doing?” Estelle replied.

“She got caught in the rain last night, and then delivered takeout until late at night, so she got a high

fever. I called a doctor to give her an IV, and her fever has come down. She’s still asleep,” Charlie

explained quietly

Estelle nodded, “Thank you so much for your help!”

“It’s nothing. But I have to go on a business trip today, so I need to ask you to take care of Emily,”

Charlie said, handing over the medicine Dr. Martin had left and telling her how to take it.

Estelle remembered that he was going on a business trip today and assured him, “Don’t worry, I’ll take

good care of Emily.”

“Alright, then I’m leaving now!” Grabbing his clothes, Charlie told Estelle to have Emily take the

medicine after meals and to take good care of herself before going back to work.

“Yeah, I’ll tell her,” Estelle replied with a smile.

Charlie nodded and left. At the door, he saw Jonathan and said with a light smile, “I’m sorry for

bothering you guys so early, but it’s really because of this situation. I’ll make it up to you when I get

back!”

Hearing him speak, Estelle immediately followed him out the door and said, “No worries, Charlie.

You’re in a hurry to catch your flight, just go!” “Estelle is always so understanding!” Charlie didn’t miss

the opportunity to tease Jonathan before leaving.

Jonathan followed Estelle back indoors, frowning, “I didn’t even say a word, so how come I’m not

understanding?”

Estelle laughed, “That’s Brother Charlie’s self-defense mechanism.”

Jonathan’s frown deepened, “You address him so affectionately.”

Holding back her laughter, Estelle replied, “I call him big brother and you uncle, so in that way, you are

taking advantage of him.”

Jonathan, who had been woken up so early and was feeling grumpy, finally felt better after hearing her

defend him.
