Chapter 72

Expectedly, Frederick's expression instantly turned cold after hearing what Serena said.

When he was looking at the information earlier, he saw that there was a male doctor who was very close to Charlotte, and it was during the time he had lost his memory. The doctor even went to his house.

What impressed him the most was that Jasper was actually called to his house by Anouk to have a blind date with Charlotte.

This was simply a humiliation for him as a man.

Serena looked up timidly at Frederick's expression. Seeing that he temporarily believed her words, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She had only seen Frederick's gentle side before and had forgotten that the current Frederick was no longer the simple big boy he used to be. Now, he was as terrifying as her master.

"Frederick, let's not talk about her anymore,we..."

Serena hadn't forgotten the task her master had given her. As soon as she had a bit of free time, she wanted to seduce Frederick.But Frederick turned his head away and said in a flat tone, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'll take a nap first. Call me when the doctor comes to change my dressing." After saying that, he turned his back to Serena and closed his eyes to sleep.Serena was ignored, clenching her hands tightly.

She was filled with hatred!

Frederick had been so caring towards her yesterday. How could his attitude towards her become so cold overnight?

She really couldn't understand what kind of charm that Charlotte had.

After coming out of the ward, Charlotte went directly to find Jasper.

Whether it was because she was too angry or something else, her stomach hurt a lot. Worried about the baby, she came to bother Jasper even though she knew he was off today.

Jasper took Charlotte through a series of examinations and said while holding the report, "The baby is very healthy and has grown a lot compared to before, but you are still the same as before. Your body is too weak, and you have been overworked, and overly worried. I told you last time that your health also affects the baby's health, but it seems you didn't take it to heart."

Jasper's tone carried a hint of reproach, but more of concern.

"I'm sorry, because of the divorce recently, I really haven't been resting and eating well."

Charlotte touched her belly, tears already welling up in her eyes.

At this moment, she only felt that she had let her baby down, being implicated by her even before being born. Jasper couldn't bear to see Charlotte so fragile and self-blaming. He sighed, his voice softened a bit, and he comforted, "You don't need to blame yourself so much. I believe your intention is not like this, and youdon't need to apologize to me. You should apologize to yourself. And take care of yourself frst then the baby."

"No, this baby is a gift from heaven. I must protect it no matter what."

Charlotte touched her belly, speaking somewhat urgently.

As soon as she got divorced, she would immediately take the baby away.From then on, she and the baby would be the most important people to each other.

"Don't get agitated."

Jasper comforted, "I know you are not feeling well now, but I still hope you can seriously think about it. If you can't divorce Frederick soon, the harm to you and the baby will only be greater. What I mean is, I can also...

"Jasper, don't say it."

Charlotte suddenly realized something and immediately interrupted him.

But Jasper held her shoulders, forcing her to look at him. "I am a doctor.I can take good care of you and the baby. As long as you agree, I will use all my strength to make Frederick divorce you. Charlotte, please give me a chance,okay? My feelings for you are no less than anyone else's."

"Jasper, I only see you as my brother." Charlotte gently struggled, and Jasper let go of her hand, afraid of hurting her. "Charlotte, can't you consider me? You have such a good relationship with Taylor, and my parents like you very much. I am willing to raise your child with you and treat him as my own. I just hope you can give me a chance. We have already missed five years. I don't want to see you suffer anymore."

Charlotte was stunned.

She looked at him in disbelief, not expecting that Jasper had liked her five years ago.

Jasper indeed showed considerable care for her within the confines of the experimental base, but she always assumed he did so merely out of regard for Taylor.

Charlotte had never thought that Jasper had liked her since five years ago,or even longer.

"Charlotte, if you keep silent, I'll take it as you agreeing."

Jasper's voice carried hope, and his usually calm eyes sparkled with light.

Charlotte shook her head.

She said apologetically, "Jasper, I'm sorry I only know your feelings now,but I always thought you were kind to me because of Taylor. But those are all in the past. We alI have our own lives now, and I am no longer who I used to be. Now I just want to raise my child by myself.I don't consider marriage and love anymore. It's not that you're not good,but I can't love anymore." Charlotte's words were very sincere.

She once thought she would be with Frederick until the end, but now she realized that love always ends the same way. As long as she could get out of the marriage, she didn't want to step into it again.

"Charlotte, I will wait. I can wait until you have the courage to love again.I have already waited for five years. I can wait longer."

Jasper's deep affection was almost overflowing.

Charlotte felt very uncomfortable being looked at like that. "Jasper, with your conditions, you can find someone a thousand times better than me.You don't need to..."

"Charlotte, I won't interfere with your choices. Please respect my choice too.I like you, but that's my own business. You don't need to feel troubled by it. And before you agree, I will still keep my boundaries and won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. I hope you won't distance yourself from me because of my confession, okay?"

Jasper carefully measured his words, afraid that Charlotte would feel uncomfortable because of him.

Charlotte felt guilty.

What virtues or talents did she possess to deserve the favor of someone as exceptional as Jasper?

"Jasper, Taylor is my best friend, and you will always be my brother.I find it hard to repay your care." Jasper felt a bit bitter hearing her say that. Charlotte was ultimately scared by his confession. He didn't want to confess at this time, but seeing her health report, which was worse than last time, he really couldn't bear to see Charlotte go back to Frederick and suffer.
