Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Cole's men quickly arrived at the warehouse and ensured there were no hidden listening devices. Then they guarded Zoe and Charlotte and prepared to leave. As for the other workers, they need to wait on site. Since the duration of the project was short, it wasn't a big issue for them to stay at Castleton for a few more days.

Shane and Peter's well-being were the most important.

The Golden Hour to rescue someone is usually 72 hours, that was three days.

Cole immediately sent someone to investigate the signal from Charlotte's phone. After he found out where Shane went missing, he went down to the mountains. However, he did not find any sign of him, not even a single trace of blood.

This was good news, at least it meant he and Peter did not die.

The next day, they found sdead bodies. They were all workers, but they still didn't find Shane and Peter.

However, Charlotte's heart still ached for the workers who died. She stared at the bodies of the men who had joked with her before. Her body couldn't stop trembling especially when she saw the little girl's uncle and she fell to the ground.

"How could this be..." He was such a good person. Why did God treat him like this? Zoe quickly held her up. "Lottie, these people had nothing to do with us. Don't be too sad." Nothing to do with her? They might have just met not long ago but Charlotte still had developed a personal connection with them.

Charlotte held back her sadness and she leaned against Zoe's shoulder in pain.

The little girl was brought by the police to identify the bodies. She recognised her uncle at a glance. She was much calmer in comparison to Charlotte. She even comforted her saying that her uncle was in a better place. Now even Zoe felt that there was something wrong with this little girl. How could she be so calm? Of course, she was too embarrassed to ask why the little girl was so calm. It would seem like she was judging her.

Charlotte finally calmed down. She walked out to the hotel's balcony and stared into the distance.

Many people suffered this time. There was no way she could cover this up. If she were to take the opportunity and establish policies that were beneficial to the workers, she would get backlash from speople.

But if she didn't do anything, she would feel guilty. They all died for nothing.

She knew in her heart, even if Shane died, it would be a matter of karma.

But those people...

"Lottie, don't overthink it. If you really feel bad, we can compensate the victim's families." Zoe was a very indifferent person. She couldn't empathise with these people like Charlotte.

"I can give them money, a year's salary or even compensate them for the rest of their lives. But a wife lost a husband and a child lost a father and those who don't have families, what about them?" "This..."' "The people that died may just look like numbers to us. We see them as numbers so we use numbers to make up for it. But they were all people." As she spoke, it hit a sore spot in her heart. She felt as if someone had hit her on the chest. Her eyes turned red and she felt short of breath. They were all living people.

Zoe immediately understood Charlotte's feelings. She wanted to say something to comfort her but all she said was, "I'm sorry." Charlotte shook her head. "There is no right or wrong in emotions. You have your opinion and I have mine. I'm just trying to find the most ideal way to deal with this." In this world, it seemed that the poor were dependent on the rich but without the poor, there would be no meaning in being rich. She just wanted to find the middle ground.

She didn't want to be the one who was at the top.

On the third day.

It was the most crucial hour.

Charlotte had not slept for more than 24 hours. There had been no news for 48 hours. She stood alone on the balcony and stared at the buildings. Zoe had tried every method possible to persuade her to eat. Even Zoe couldn't resist the temptation to eat. Charlotte, on the other hand, didn't even look at the food.

As twent by, it was getting dark and 72 hours had passed.

Zoe also no longer had the mood to tend to Charlotte. She sat on the balcony and waited for the news together. At night, in the hotel.

Cole pushed open the door. "Ms. Emerson, Ms. Watson, we've found them." In an instant, Charlotte turned around and stared at him. "Are they dead or alive?" Cole smiled and said, "Of course they're alive. Mr. Fuller has already woken up but Mr. Peter's situation is quite grave. Do you want to rest first or..." "I'll go with you." Charlotte immediately interrupted him.

"I slept yesterday. I'll go." Zoe was worried about Charlotte's health.

"I want to see him." In just a simple sentence, neither of them dared to persuade her to rest.

If she hadn't experienced the separation of life and death, she wouldn't know how painful it was to miss someone.

As she sat in the car, Charlotte's heart was pounding in her chest.

Shane was fine.

He must be fine.

She suddenly felt all her worries for the past few days were nothing. As long as Shane was here. As long as she could discuss it with him, she wasn't afraid the issue couldn't be handled. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital.

Charlotte and Zoe followed Cole to the 17th floor. This floor was full of VIP wards so it was quieter.

Cole personally brought Charlotte to the ward. "Miss Charlotte, I'll take you here first. Mr. Fuller is awake and he's not in any serious condition. He's just slightly injured. It's best if you don't touch him. There's nothing else." "Thank you." Charlotte grabbed his hands gratefully. "Thank you." "No problem. It's my job. Of course, if you really want to thank me, you can transfersmoney," Cole said as he adjusted his glasses.

The joke made both Charlotte and Zoe laugh.

Charlotte entered the ward. Cole's smile turned grave as he asked Zoe, "Miss Watson, do you have any contact with Mr. Brown's family?" "Is it that serious?" "It's not like that. His injury this tis not serious but his blood type is very rare. Now his blood is infected, he needs a blood transfusion as soon as possible but the city's blood bank doesn't have a match so we need to find his family. Otherwise... He may face the sfate as Miss Sheryl." Leukemia, blood cancer.

It was not a big deal for his blood to be infected.

Zoe took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "I will find a way now but can you tellwhat type of infection it is?" "Aspergillosis." Zoe widened her eyes.

Charlotte pushed open the door.

The lights were off in the room so the windows were wide open. The wind blew the white curtains giving an eerie feeling.

Charlotte walked along the corridor and into the room. She closed the door gently and slowly walked forward in the dark. After a while, she finally reached Shane's bedside. "Why didn't you turn on the lights?" The man on the bed opened his eyes in the dark night.

"I thought you were asleep." Charlotte stopped and turned around to turn on the light.

As the lights turned on.

Charlotte was shocked.

Shane's whole body was covered in blood. Even bandaged areas were om still stained with blood. He leaned against the back of the bed. He looked so tired with an IV bag stuck in his hand. "You, you..." Charlotte's heart ached for him as she ran to his bed. She wanted to hold his hand but it was all covered in wounds.

It wasn't a scratch, it was more like red spots. It looked like a round circular wound.

It was as if he was infected with something.

"I fell off the cliff with Peter into a small stream." "Could this be..." A saprophytic fungus.

It was commonly found in rivers or lakes. They like places that are dark and damp The optimum temperature for growth is 25 to 30 degrees. And the ones that would cause skin lesions on bodies that would constantly bleed would be...

Aspergillosis infection.
