Chapter 28 He Needs You Diana had been keeping an eye on the surveillance cameras .
The moment she saw Arthur leave with his men , she immediately texted Charlotte with the update .
Charlotte let out a long breath , the weight on her chest finally lifting .
She pressed the voice message button and spoke in exasperation , You dont understand .
I was scared out of my mind ! Im drenched in sweat .

That man is out of control .
This marriage has to end .
Hes way too dangerous ! Diana replied with a faint sigh , Its not just about the divorce .
The little bit of 2/8 progress you made today ? You just slammed the door shut on it yourself .
Charlotte rolled her eyes .
Ill think about it later .
Shower first .
One crisis averted , but another one waited in the wings .
After her shower , she lay on her bed , letting her mind settle .
She needed a plan , a way to get this divorce over with , fast .
Whether her parents approved didnt matter to her .
Shed made up her mind , and no one was going to stop her .
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sudden ring of her phone .
She glanced at the screen and frowned .
It was Arthur again .
Without hesitation , Charlotte declined the call .
But he was persistent , dialing her back immediately .
Her irritation flared , and with it came a nagging sense of unease .
Answering on the third ring , she snapped , What now ? Arthurs deep , magnetic voice came through the line , laced with icy authority .
Julius has a fever .
Come to Harrison Villa .
The words struck Charlotte like a punch to the chest , and for a moment , she couldnt breathe .
Her body moved on instinct .
She swung her legs off the bed , already halfway to the door .
But then she stopped .
She had been pretending to have amnesia , to have forgotten her feelings for Julius .
To her current self , he was supposed to be just another child , a stranger .
Clenching her fists , she forced herself to stay calm .
What good would it do if I came ? Dont you have doctors at the house ? Charlotte .
His voice was sharper now , colder , cutting through her defenses .
Youre his mother .
Hes sick , and he needs you .
Her chest tightened painfully , like an iron grip squeezing her heart .
She had tried so hard to tell herself to let go .
But Julius was her child , the one she had cherished more than her own life .
Even if he had grown distant , he was still her precious boy .
Closing her eyes , she swallowed her emotions .
I dont even remember how to take care of him anymore … Just come , Arthur said , his tone brooking no argument .
Then the line went dead .
Charlotte sat frozen for a moment , gripping the phone tightly .
Her face had gone pale , but her resolve kicked in .
She quickly changed into fresh clothes and headed downstairs .
The Hardwick Villa was eerily quiet .
She slipped into the garage , selected one of James cars , and sped off into the night .
The city streets were deserted , the silence of the late hour broken only by the hum of her car .
She drove like a woman possessed , arriving at the imposing gates of the Harrison Villa in record time .
Taking a deep breath , she steadied herself before stepping out of the car .
Charlotte thought , Whatever is waiting inside , I cant afford to falter .
She got out of the car and quickly regained her composure , pressing the doorbell .
Moments later , the heavy black and gold gate creaked open , and she stepped inside .
However , as soon as she entered , she noticed a white car parked in front of the villa .
It looked unfamiliar , unlike the usual cars the Harrison family drove .
She frowned but didnt dwell on it , quickly making her way inside .
Robert , the butler , was waiting in the foyer , his expression a mixture of surprise and unease .
Mrs.
Harrison … Youre here .
His awkward tone didnt escape her notice .
Charlotte nodded curtly .
Arthur said Julius has a fever .
Where is he ? Robert hesitated , his gaze flickering nervously .
Hes … upstairs .
Okay .
She frowned at his odd behavior but brushed it off , heading straight for the staircase .
At the top , an open door caught her attention .
She walked toward it , her steps steady , her expression calm .
But the Chapter 28 He Needs You moment she stepped inside and saw the scene before her , that calm façade shattered completely .
