Chapter 14 Paradise No.3

"Paradise No.3." Charlotte and Bryson had been living in this home with her father before getting married. As she looked at the pictures of her and Bryson on the bedroom wall, she thought of Bryson again. Charlotte was beautiful and outstanding. She had been the target of many great guys since her high school days, but she’d only ever had feelings for Bryson. After meeting Bryson, she had eliminated every member of the opposite sex from her life and willingly filled her world only with Bryson. She’d posted pictures of herself and Bryson on the wall... There had always been a few extra pairs of shoes for Bryson in the shoe cabinet... There had always been custom-made clothes for him in the closet... "Miss, your parcel is here." A parcel was placed on the sofa by her servant, Tom Benson. Charlotte opened it and looked at the pair of silver knee pads in the package. Tears started streaming down her face. The month before Charlotte and Bryson had gotten married, Bryson had used a cross-country bike to take her to the outskirts for rock climbing. On their way, they had gotten into an accident. Charlotte had been bleeding and the bike had broken down. Bryson had carried her and run all the way to the hospital, which had been three kilometers away. The doctor had said that if she had not been transported there in time, not only would her life have been in danger, but she would also have been disfigured. Later, Charlotte had learned that Bryson had suffered a leg injury in that accident and had collapsed right after taking her to the hospital. After three major operations, although Bryson had been lucky enough to keep his legs, he’d still suffered from complications. Whenever it was cloudy or rainy, his legs would hurt as though they were being cut by a knife. After Charlotte had been discharged from the hospital, she had ordered this customized pair of knee pads for Bryson from abroad. This pair of knee pads used the most advanced nanotechnology, and the surface was covered with indestructible Mithril. Because of the complexity of the production process, it took a year to manufacture them and they’d only been delivered to Charlotte today. Bryson had saved her life. She had silently sworn that she would do everything in her power to protect Bryson and never let anything happen to him again! Bryson! How had they ended up like this? Charlotte had nightmares the whole night, and her dreams were all about her break-up with Bryson. She cried all night and when she woke up in the morning, her whole pillow was soaked. After Charlotte got up, she walked out of the room with a black suitcase she had packed last night. Alfred greeted her and said, "Miss, you just gave birth, so you need nutrition the most right now. There’s still plenty of time left before the time you and Zachary Connor agreed to meet. You should have something to eat before leaving." Charlotte shook her head. "I'm not hungry." She then insisted on walking to the car. Alfred shook his head silently, as he knew how stubborn Charlotte was. He picked up the suitcase in Charlotte's hand. "Miss Charlotte, your body is still weak. Let me carry it for you." Charlotte clutched the suitcase tightly as she said, "No need." Alfred could only sigh silently. He recognized this. It was Bryson’s suitcase. Last year, Bryson and Miss Charlotte had kept this suitcase at her place temporarily after returning from a trip to Europe. Charlotte had stored it carefully. Why had she brought it out now? What was in the suitcase? Charlotte refused to let go, so Alfred helped her put the suitcase in the car. After he helped Charlotte get in the car, he looked at her haggard face and said in distress, "Miss Charlotte, I didn't close my eyes at all last night. I was thinking that if you really married Zachary Connor, that evil..." "Alfred, don't talk about him." She calmly interrupted Alfred, and the corners of Charlotte's mouth rose slightly. "Take me to the Platinum Coast first?" "What?!" The Platinum Coast? Wasn’t that Charlotte and Bryson's wedding house? Alfred was anxious. "Miss Charlotte, when you went to find him yesterday, he turned you away ruthlessly. Don't you want to give up yet?" Charlotte did not reply, but the corners of her mouth twitched. Yesterday, when Bryson had told her at “The Pearl" that her life had nothing to do with him anymore, she’d no longer had feelings for him. However, she had to see Bryson one last time!
