Chapter 468 Concern For Him
“Do you want to go for another physical examination?” Charlotte asked.
“When was his last physical examination?”
“About five or six days ago, at that time, his complexion wasn’t that bad. Besides, he was quite energetic then, unlike now he looks so depressed,” Charlotte said as she handed over Shane’s report to Avery. He was much more familiar with this than she was.
Avery read the two pages and shook his head. He said, “It looks normal. Then let’s run another physical examination. I’m here anyway, I can discuss the situation with Skylar.”
“Alright.”
Avery called Skylar over. He was so shocked that he couldn’t say a word when he saw Shane. Avery immediately knew that an examination had to be done when he saw Skylar’s reaction. It was very rare for him to tell there was a big issue with just one look.
However, there was nothing wrong with Shane when the report came out. Everything was normal other than the low blood sugar, which was very strange.
“Then it may be a physiological reaction,” Skylar said as he poked on Shane’s skin. There was nothing wrong with it. It felt the same as usual. This was a very strange fact, in theory, it’s not possible for his skin to have no change at that stage.
At the very least, it should feel as thin as paper, otherwise, it would not look so translucent.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
However …
“Is it that our machines aren’t good enough?” Avery gave a reasonable suspicion.
“No.” Skylar shook his head. “The equipment all over the world is the same. If the machine says there is no problem, then there isn’t. Let him have a good rest and try not to go under the sun too much. In short, we’ll be trying everything we can to treat him. You have to be prepared for the worst.”
Charlotte immediately panicked upon hearing Skylar’s words. She stood by Shane’s side closely.
“Don’t raise any false alarms. I know my body very well. ” Shane was almost dizzy as he watched her pace back and forth in the room.
“What would Sheryl do if you left? She has finally found her dad, she…” Charlotte waved her hands around as she spoke. “Let’s not talk about these useless things. I’ll go overseas in the next two days and find out if there is any other way.”
“Come here.”
Although Charlotte didn’t want to, she felt it would be inhumane to refuse him. She had no choice but to walk over to his side.
Shane reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist to pull her into his embrace. “It’s enough for you to stay by my side. Doctor’s abroad might not be as good as the doctor’s here. Isn’t Skylar from overseas? I just need a good rest.”
“But you… Huh? Your skin doesn’t look so translucent anymore.” Charlotte rubbed her eyes. “What is going on?”
“It’s probably nothing.” Shane said, “Don’t some people’s hair turn white overnight?”
“I hope so.”
Charlotte felt guilt in her heart so she took care of Shane the best she could. She looked after him from every single aspect. When Sheryl came, they would have a meal and chat with Shane. He also recovered well. His wounds were all healed and his skin no longer looked so translucent but he still looked thin and weak.
Charlotte thought of many ways to feed Shane but his body was like a black hole. She couldn’t see any changes even after he ate, she could only wait anxiously.
On this day.
Nathan was about to be discharged from the hospital. He brought some fruits and flowers over to visit Shane.
“I’ll bring Sheryl home first. It’s not good for a child to be at the hospital all day long,” Nathan said.
“Sorry for the trouble.”
“I’m not the one who would be troubled.” Nathan smiled. “I plan to return with Gavyn once. I’ll hand over any affairs in the country over to Irena. If you have the time, you can help me bring together Avery and her. After all, so many years have passed, my brother had also become a skeleton.”
“Sheryl told me about Gavyn. Although I know this is a very impolite question, but…”
“I know what you want to ask. They aren’t the same person but no matter Gavyn or me, we only have each other.” Nano paused and continued, “Besides, I’m going back to pick up some AN’s documents too.”
“I understand. I will help you watch over anything here. You can contact me anytime if you need me,” Charlotte said. “Although we do not have much power abroad, the Jane Corporation will listen to your orders unconditionally.”
“The Jane Corporation is also…”
“That’s right.”
Rick and Kendall went on a trip and opened an antique store. They collected and sold famous paintings all day now. They two had so much fun, no one wanted to be in charge of the Jane Corporation. So Charlotte and Avery had to take over half each. Avery is in charge of public relations while she was in charge of planning.
Therefore instead of saying they were each in charge of half the company, it was just to create healthy competition within the company. It didn’t matter if the people sided with Avery or Charlotte, they had to make outsiders think they were competing with each other. This would make the company more energetic.
A company where only one person has a say in anything wouldn’t have any vitality.
“It’s really amazing.” Nano sighed, “No wonder Sheryl is so smart at such a young age.”
“She? She complains about me as a mother all day long.” Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh.
“To some extent, you are very successful.”
Charlotte was stunned for a moment.
Nano left with Sheryl and Freddie. Avery and Irena also left not long after. Only Shane, Charlotte, Cole and a few men were left at the hospital. It wasn’t too safe for them so Charlotte also asked for Shane to be discharged.
He could rest at home or at the hospital but it was more convenient for him to stay at home.
After returning to the familiar home, Charlotte felt as if she had entered a different world. t
“I never expected in my life that I would be with you in this house again,” Charlotte sighed.
Shane sat down on the sofa with her help. “I never thought that I would be separated from you.”
“Yes, so many friends and so many things have bound us tightly together. Even if we were to separate, the others might not necessarily agree.”
“Even money also wouldn’t agree,” Shane added.
“Alright, I’ll cook for you first.”
“Lottie.”
“Yes?”
She was about to wash the vegetables. She looked up at him and asked, “What’s wrong.”
“I want to play the piano.”
“You… Do you want to perform on stage?” Charlotte didn’t expect he would say that. There was a glimmer of hope in her heart. “Are you doing this willingly or because I said that I wanted you to play?”
“Both.” Shane had always told the truth. “There’s no difference for me.”
“When are you planning to go?”
“After a good rest.”
“Okay, I know a lot of people in the entertainment industry. I’ll try my best to promote you then. All you have to do is play well. I’ll take care of the rest,” Charlotte said as she washed some fruits and placed them in front of him. “Eat this first, I’ll make dinner.”
“Who will lead me in the entertainment industry?”
That was indeed a problem.
Although playing the piano was more high-end, it was also considered as part of the entertainment industry. So he must have to sign with a manager. Ideally, it would be the safest for Avery or her to be his manager but the both of them were too busy. Besides, she didn’t want to spend so much time with Shane. She only took care of him now because she felt guilty. She really didn’t have the heart to help him get to the top.
At least not before she investigated and got to the bottom of the problem, she would keep her distance from him. But then neither she nor Avery would be able to be his manager. Unless…
There was one more person.
“Do you remember Cassius? He has been involved in these sorts of things lately. It should be around two months now. If you’re willing to work with him, he’s absolutely qualified to be your manager. Besides, he sings well, he can duet with you.”
“Cassius?” Shane pursed his lips and said, “You’re quite considerate of him.”
“What?” Charlotte felt amused. “Didn’t I say only if you’re willing to work with him? You can forget about it if you don’t want to. What do you mean by ‘I’m considerate of him’? I’m clearly thinking for your sake.”
For his sake…
Shane lowered his eyes and said in an indifferent mocking tone, “Will you still think for my sake now?”
Charlotte froze. For some reason, there was a sour feeling welling up in her heart.
