Chapter 134: Thank You, Max
“Max?”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up and a unique bright light suddenly blossomed at the bottom of her dark eyes
Max…
At that moment, she really wanted to see Max.
She wanted to see him very, very much…
had never thought about it so much.
“Okay, take me to him.”
She nodded and answered in a slightly worried tone.
Just like that, Charlotte was taken away by Lance in front of everyone’s eyes.
At the entrance of the hospital, an expensive and extraordinary pure black Rolls Royce was parked.
Lance led Charlotte to it and opened the door for her.
She unconsciously got into the car.
Unexpectedly-
Max was sitting inside in the back seat.
He was wearing a simple, clean white shirt and his complexion was clear and elegant.
His whole body was like a jade sculpture–tall, cold, and untouchable.
But the moment Charlotte entered the car, the man’s cold, deep eyes flickered slightly.
Max immediately noticed that something was wrong with her.
He quickly reached out and pulled her to his side with one hand.
Unexpectedly-
His force was a little excessive, and she crashed right into his arms.
Charlotte could not ask for it.
She reached out and wrapped her arm around Max’s shoulders.
Her chin hit the man’s shoulder blade.
She inhaled desperately, smelling the scent of his body.
He smelled good and had an unusually cool scent.
Such a scent seemed to be able to make Charlotte’s mind slowly calm down.
She closed her eyes and did not say a word. She just hugged him in silence.
Max let her hold him as well.
After a long time, he moved his thin lips only slightly and asked in a light voice, “What’s wrong?”
He had already roughly understood what had just happened.

However, the Charlotte he knew would never break down over something like that,
She was always very strong.
Therefore, he wanted to know why she became like this all of a sudden…
Charlotte still had her eyes closed and did not say anything.
However, her fingers unconsciously touched the man’s white shirt.
Max’s embrace was warm and comforting.
The feeling of being haunted by a nightmare and on the verge of suffocating was slowly fading.
throat choked for a moment, then she muffled, “It’s nothing.”
“Still talking tough.” Max’s eyebrows relaxed slightly, and he spat out the two words, his tone somewhat helpless.
Charlotte replied stubbornly, “No…”
He laughed softly, “Then it’s bravado.”
She stopped talking completely.
Max, however, suddenly became serious. His eyebrows and eyes tinged with a slightly solemn color. “Charlotte, you can tell me. I’m your husband, the one who protects you from wind and rain. No matter what happens to you, you can tell me.”
Charlotte’s fingers tightened slightly.
She unconsciously bit her lips.
What could she say?
Tell Max that she was really a reincarnation?
Tell him that she had died so horribly in her previous life that she had developed inner demons?
Just now, she had been haunted by this terrifying inner demon, and her entire being was a bit out of whack.
However, she was fine now.
As long as she stayed by Max’s side, she had nothing to fear…
Of course, she couldn’t tell Max these things.
Otherwise, he would think she was crazy…
“Max… “Charlotte buried her head in Max’s arms, her eyes a little sore. “Thank you.”
Thank you for coming suddenly when I was at my most vulnerable.
Max gently patted Charlotte’s back, the corners of his lips inexplicably colored with a hint of a smile. “What’s there to thank…”
Turning to her, his eyes narrowed, and he asked again, “You’re changing the subject?”
The man let out a somewhat helpless sigh. “You don’t want to tell me what’s on your mind?”
Charlotte’s heart fluttered.
She pursed her lips and spoke slowly like a little girl telling her elders. “It’s nothing really… I have a sister named Eleanor. You should know… that in order to frame me, she didn’t hesitate to throw herself down the stairs. Now the whole family is suspicious of me, thinking that I hurt her…”
Charlotte said this, speaking half–truths and half–falsehoods.
After all, she couldn’t say anything about the reincarnation.

So, she could only choose something she could say and tell them to Max.
When Max heard this, his deep eyes paused slightly.
After a moment of silence, he spoke as if to comfort her, in an unusually deep and soft tone: “They doubt you, but I believe in you.”
Charlotte felt her heart skip a beat.
Those words were said as if they had been spoken into her heart.
A warmth immediately rose from the bottom of her heart.
The corner of her mouth curled up involuntarily and her voice returned slightly, “You are still kind to me.”
At this time, in the hospital.
Because of Charlotte’s departure, Eleanor had no blood to use for the transfusion and was already in a very critical and dangerous condition.
Fortunately, Benjamin contacted a remote blood bank that had some type R blood in stock.
In the end, Eleanor’s life was saved.
After being rushed out of the operating room by doctors, she was admitted to the intensive care unit.
After being in a coma for a while, she finally woke up.
Eleanor’s eyes were misty as she looked out at the crowd around her. Her throat felt like it was blocked, and she couldn’t make a sound.
When Vanessa saw her awake, she immediately cried with joy, tears couldn’t help but fall from her eyes. “Eleanor, you finally woke up…”
Christopher at the side heaved a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth were colored with a smile. “It’s good that you are awake… It’s good that you are okay…”
Benjamin also accompanied her by her side. Seeing Eleanor out of danger, his eyebrows slightly loosened a little.
Edward, on the other hand, was somewhat silent.
He was still thinking about Charlotte, so he was a bit distracted.
Eleanor’s eyes scanned everyone’s faces.
Then she coughed softly.
With such a cough, her throat seemed to be able to make a sound.
“Dad… Mom…” she moved her dry lips and called out with some difficulty.
“Hey…” Vanessa replied hastily. Her eyes were still filled with tears, and her voice was shaking. “Eleanor, Mom is here…”
Christopher on the side could not help but be a little emotional.
After all, Eleanor was considered to have escaped death.
He was almost about to lose a daughter.
“Eleanor, it’s all right…” He couldn’t help but comfort her in a low voice, and his tone was unusually soft.
Eleanor glanced at Benjamin again and called softly, “Benjamin…”
Benjamin nodded at her, “I am here.”
The corner of her lips turned up, revealing a slight smile.
At that moment, Edward suddenly spoke out, “Sister, how exactly did you get hurt?”

The young man’s eyes burned as he looked at her, seemingly wanting an answer.
The smile at the corner of Eleanor’s mouth froze.
She thought she had already done the obvious, but she hadn’t expected Edward to even question her…
“What do you think?” She narrowed her eyes slightly, deliberately making a look of pain and loss. “Did I fall by myself?”
