Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 239

Not to mention whether Shane would agree or not, even if he agreed, having an intimate relationship with him seemed a little...

Charlotte's face stiffened. Even if she wanted to save Sheryl, she would still find it hard to convince herself.

"The report came out?"

At that moment, Shane was back.

He directly took away the file in Charlotte's hands and flipped over to read the column stating the result.

Even Shane, a top student who graduated from an Ivy League school, took some time to figure out that his and Sheryl's bone marrow were compatible.

"I can undergo the transplant surgery." Shane's voice was as cold as usual.

"You're eligible for the surgery?" Charlotte instantly turned around to look at him. "You're saying that you can give your bone marrow to Sheryl because yours is compatible with hers?"

Shane nodded.

Charlotte broke down in tears of joy. She grabbed

Shane's arm tightly and said, "Please save her. I've been waiting for bone marrow all this time, but I haven't been able to find it. You're her father, so if you can, you can directly arrange the surgery."

Instead of immediately replying to Charlotte, Shane looked at Zoe, who was standing beside them.

Zoe understood and excused herself.

There were only Shane and Charlotte left in the corridor.

"I can give her my bone marrow, but you have to marry me."

Shane's voice was neither too loud nor too soft but was loud enough for Charlotte to hear.

"Marry him again?" she asked herself internally.

Charlotte looked at him, puzzled. "Aren't you going to marry Tiffany?"

"There won't be any complications." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"Do you want me to be your mistress? Even if I agree, is that legal?"

It was too late for Charlotte to be sad. She just thought that this was ridiculous. But at the same time, she was worried about Sheryl as well.

The earlier they got the surgery done, the earlier they would know the results, and the earlier they could treat Sheryl's illness.

For Sheryl, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.

"That's not within your field of consideration. You just have to decide whether you want to marry me and get my bone marrow or continue to wait for other people's bone marrow."

"I'll marry you."

Charlotte said without hesitation.

However...

Her eyes were dull, like a puppet.

Or perhaps, she was just a drowning traveler. He was the wood that could keep her afloat, her only beacon in the dark. So she couldn't wait to sell her soul to him, at his disposal, as long as he could take her away from the endless sea of bitterness.

"I'll do anything as long as you give Sheryl your bone marrow."

"This is not an agreement. I'm asking you to marry me for real, rely on me, and become a part of my life."

Shane was extremely serious.

He had never been this serious before.

Even when he had to attend the most important meeting, he was always relaxed and never in a serious state.

To be precise, the last time he was serious about something was probably during his college entrance exam.

Upon hearing that, Charlotte laughed. "Whether it's an agreement or not, I don't have the right to decide. The bone marrow is in your body. Whatever you want to do, it's all up to you, as long as you're willing to undergo the transplant surgery."

"Why don't you say that it's because she's also my daughter?"

"I don't know. It's probably because I think that you don't care about your daughter at all. You can have another child in your life, but I..."

Before Charlotte could finish her words, the man pulled her into his embrace and kissed her forcefully on the lips.

He hugged her so tight that she felt pain in her bones.

He bit her lower lip, the taste of blood creeping into his mouth.

Shane slid down his hands, pressing one on her back and the other on the back of her head.

He had never been so serious and so crazy, feeling eager to allow her into his blood, to combine their bodies to become one.

Like a puppet, Charlotte did not react at all, allowing him to kiss her however he wanted to.

Moments later.

He let go of her.

"I won't have children with anyone else in my life." "Shane..." She looked at him, stunned. Then she touched her lower lip, feeling his anger lingering on her mouth.

His bite was deep and heavy.

Shane pressed his lips together, his jaw tightened.

"From now on, I will protect you and your child."

After finishing his words, he went to the sterile ward to change his clothes and prepare to enter the ward.

Charlotte lost all her strength and collapsed on the bench in the long corridor.

She looked down at her finger, which was still stained with blood.

Shane's message was clear.

But she still couldn't believe all of this.

She'd rather believe that Shane wanted to give Sheryl his bone marrow just because Sheryl was his daughter and not because he wanted to marry her.

She didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

Did Shane have feelings for her?

Why?

Was it because she was the child's mother, or was it because she'd saved his life before?

Charlotte's thoughts were tangled in a mess. Initially, she had already completely let go of this feeling that had yet to develop into a relationship, but now, she realized that she had actually never let it go.

Charlotte was constantly receiving apology messages from Rick.

It seemed like he wouldn't stop until she forgave him.

But Charlotte decided to not reply at all.

She didn't blame Rick, as it was only his choice to defend Kendall.

Therefore, since it was his choice, she had no right to interfere; so, since she never blamed him, there was no need to forgive him.

Shane coaxed Sheryl to sleep and left the ward with Charlotte. He accidentally glanced at her phone and said in a frosty voice, "Rick sent a message again?"

Charlotte looked down and only realized that Rick had sent her another message. She smiled bitterly and handed the phone to Shane.

She sighed and said, "This is the third apology message he sent me today."

Shane took the phone and tapped open the message. His eyes suddenly turned cold as he said, "Interesting."

Charlotte tilted her head to look.

Rick didn't send an apology letter this time. Instead, he asked her if the person who did all this was Shane, would she not reply to his messages or would she listen to his explanation?

"How do you answer this question?" Shane immediately put her phone back into his pocket.

Charlotte didn't ask for it either. She walked side by side with him and shook her head. "That question is irrelevant."

"The reason?"

"If I told you that Tiffany kidnapped Sheryl, you wouldn't suspect me either. Maybe it's because you're the child's father," she replied.

Her answer made sense.

Shane didn't delve too deeply into the meaning behind her words.

In short.

She had already promised to become a part of his life, so there was no need for him to be too harsh on her.

Shane rented a house near the hospital.

This way, it would be easier to travel back and forth to the hospital.

However, there was only one bed.

Charlotte cared about it at first. But when she recalled that they had slept on the same bed before and thought that there was no need to be so hypocritical, she agreed.

Since it was a newly rented house, a lot of household appliances weren't available yet. They had no choice but to eat instant noodles for dinner.

"Sorry that you have to eat junk food with me. There's nothing to buy outside so late at night. I'll get up tomorrow and make.."

"There's no need. You can just have a good rest. I'll let Cole handle it."

"Uhm, you don't need me to cook?" she asked carefully.

Shane frowned. "Are you trying to accommodate yourself to my needs?"

Charlotte lowered her head and remained silent.

"There's no need. As long as you're willing to marry me, even if you offend me, the bone marrow transplant operation won't be delayed for even a second." Shane scooped up a spoonful of soup for her and said, "Eat."

Charlotte ate numbly. After the meal, she took the initiative to wash the dishes.

She went back to bed after taking a shower. But she didn't sleep and waited for Shane.

After waiting for a long time, she almost fell asleep leaning on the headboard. At that moment, the man finally finished his work and went into the bedroom.

Upon hearing his voice, Charlotte woke up with a startle.

She rubbed her bloodshot eyes, half exposing her shoulders.

"Waiting for me?" Shane put the file on the edge of the bed. Looking at her dazzled expression, he felt a little pity for her.

She didn't have to do that.

Charlotte shook her head. "I just can't sleep."

Shane chuckled softly.

He looked so good when he smiled.

If only he could smile more.

"Stop looking at me. Lie down and go to sleep."

"Huh? Alright."

Charlotte lowered her head in embarrassment and slowly lay down. Grabbing the blanket with both hands, she nervously closed her eyes.

Shane walked to the other side of the bed and sat down. He didn't switch off the desk lamp because he planned to use his phone to check his email.

It was a little cold.

Charlotte subconsciously moved closer towards him.

Shane lowered his gaze.

And happened to meet her eyes when she tentatively raised her head to look him in the eyes. His luminous eyes were as rare as the blue moon.
