PopularNovelChapter 277 Chapter 277 Evander really had fallen in love with her.
The moment that realization surfaced in her mind, Charlotte almost wanted to laugh.
The love she'd chased after for so long-always just out of reach-had finally found her, but only now, after she'd let go.
She slipped her hand from his embrace and said quietly, “We should head back.” Without another glance, she stepped past Evander and walked toward the car.
Evander remained rooted to the spot, his lips pressed into a tight line.

He glanced toward the car, watching her.
Who she once cared about no longer mattered. What mattered now was that, from here on out, he would make sure her heart belonged to him.
After Old Mr. Carstairs handed the entire nanomedicine research project over to Charlotte, her days grew busier than ever. Mornings found her at the hospital; afternoons, she rushed to the headquarters of Nebula Tech to oversee experiments.
Nebula Tech was the most advanced medical technology company in Riverspire City. Their latest Al healthcare program had just launched for public testing, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
Harmony Hospital, in partnership with Nebula Tech, had even set up an independent Al night clinic.
Chapter 211 All patients needed to do was enter their personal details, medical history, and symptoms. The Al would monitor their temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, then send alerts to the emergency team if necessary.
If it detected signs of cardiovascular issues, the Al would immediately escalate the case to a human specialist. Though Al couldn't yet fully replace the night shift medical staff, it certainly eased their workload and cut down on the more tedious tasks.
One afternoon, Charlotte stood in the sterile lab in full protective gear, observing the technicians as they cultivated bacterial strains and carefully recording notes.
When the comparative data finally cin, she turned to leave-only to spot Judd and Hilary waiting outside the observation window.
Soon after, Charlotte left the sterile lab, passed through the air shower, and made her way to the changing room before finally stepping out into the hall.
Judd looked over at her. "How was your first day on the project?" "Not bad," Charlotte replied with a smile. "My mentor toldyou're involved in this research, so with you on board, I can rest easy." He paused, just barely perceptible, before giving a brief, “Yeah." "I'm heading to the cafeteria. Want to join me?" "Sure." They stepped into the elevator together, unaware that the entire exchange had been witnessed by Tricia. Tricia's face paled.
Why was Judd with Charlotte? Was he the man who'd taken her away from the private room that night? As the realization struck, her expression darkened.
213 14:12 Chapter 277 She'd been wondering how best to deal with Charlotte-but now, she might have the perfect solution. Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, Charlotte and Judd grabbed lunch. When she returned to their table with her tray, she noticed he'd only picked up a bag of bread and a bottle of water. It hit her belatedly-of course someone with his aversion to germs wouldn't touch food laid out for the masses.
She sat down. "Sorry, I didn't think about your preferences."
He calmly tore open the bread. "It's fine. I'm not picky-anything that fillsup is good enough." "Can I ask you something?" "What is it?"
Charlotte lowered her voice. "Hope you don't mindasking. ne asking, bubpeople say germophobia is psychological.
Did something happen to you?"
His movements stilled. He looked up and met her clear gaze for a long moment "You're right-it's a pretty personal question." Charlotte laughed softly.
"Let's just say... childhood trauma." Childhood...
Unbidden, Charlotte's thoughts drifted back to those kids she'd known all those years ago.
Judd unscrewed the cap from his water bottle. "Why do you ask?" She snapped out of her reverie and shook her head. "Just curious, that's all." 2/2 14.12 Share to your friends
