Chapter 673
Feeling speechless, Meredith replied, (I thought you weren’t able to be in contact with your family?’)
Charlie responded, [Hehe. I was able to reach them because I have a girlfriend now.] Meredith thought that Charlie
was simply impossible. Shaking her head, Meredith put away her phone in her pocket. During noon time, Meredith
received Charlie’s text asking her to help get him lunch. Meredith replied with a cold message, (Get help from your
family or order take-outs.]
After sending the message, she then shut off her phone.
Charlie was discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized for four days.
Before he left the hospital, he looked for Meredith and dragged her to the fire exit staircase.
Feeling anxious, Meredith asked, “Charlie Larson, what do you think you’re doing? People are going to judge if they
see us together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’m really sorry,” Charlie let go of his grip around her wrist immediately and explained, “I was worried that people
would see us and would affect your job, and this is why I dragged you here.”
Relaxing her wrist, Meredith said, “So what is it?”
“It’s nothing serious. It seems that you’re ignoring my messages so I thought of meeting you in person to remind
you about the meet-up with my family this weekend.”
Meredith was stunned. She did forget about the meet-up.
To be exact, Meredith thought that Charlie was simply joking about the meet-up as he had not been talking about it.
“Do I really have to go?”
“Of course! Are you going back on your words?” Charlie sounded worried, “Please tell me that you’ll attend the
dinner? My family is already expecting you for the meet-up this weekend.”
Seeing how Charlie was getting worried, Meredith had no other choice but to say, “It’s not that I thought that you
were the one who’s going back on your words.”
“How would it be possible?” Charlie sighed in relief and a smile found its way back onto his lace “It’s good as long as
you’re not regretting this. I’ll see you this coming Sunday then.”
“Alright, I’ll head back to work now.”
“Hold on.” Charle stopped her from leaving and magically pulled out a small box from his pockets *This is for you”
“What is this?” Looking at the pretty box, Meredith rejected him without any hesitation. “I couldn’t even afford to
pay you back for the broken hairpin. I really can’t take anything from you anymore”
Smiling, Charlie shook his head. “Don’t worry, it’s not expensive.”
He opened the box revealing a pretty hairpin in it.
Charlie then put up a few strands of her hair that was covering her face with the hairpin. “I noticed that your hair is
always getting in the way, so I thought of getting you one online.”
Meredith reached for her hair and realized that it was true that her hair was always getting in her face
She did not expect Charlie to be so thoughtful.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeredith removed the hairpin from her hair. She felt relieved after making sure that it was not made with
expensive material. “This is the last time okay? Stop buying things for me, do you
understand me?”
“I can’t promise you that. What if after this Sunday, you end up getting married to me?” Charlie responded with a
grin on his face.
Meredith was stunned.
“I’m going to head back to work now.” Before she left, Meredith took a look at his ankle and said, “Take better care
of your leg. Don’t do intense activities.”
“Okay.”
Just when Meredith walked out of the fire exit staircase, she ran into Doctor Halsey.
Halsey flashed a knowing smile at her then looked toward the fire exit staircase. “Seems like you are really good
friends with Charlie Larson.”
Halsey, the doctor that Charlie ‘abandoned’ for Meredith, had been hostile and unfriendly because of the incident.
Hence, she would not let this chance to mock Meredith slip away.
