Chapter 32 She Was Crying Sarah lowered her gaze , a flash of coldness in her eyes , but her face remained soft and gentle as she asked , Julius , how are you feeling ? Julius voice was hoarse and thick with congestion .
Ms.
Miller , Im fine now .
The moment Arthur entered , Julius looked up at him , his eyes filled with longing .
Dad , I want to go home .
Arthur nodded .
Well go home once youre done with your IV .
Julius lips quivered as he hesitated , his voice barely above a whisper .
I want to back to Rose Villa .
go His words were thick with emotion , and in his eyes .
tears welled up in his Arthurs expression darkened with irritation .
He couldnt help but feel angry with Charlotte .
If she had stayed , their son wouldnt feel so abandoned , so alone .
Suppressing the frustration building within him , Arthur said , Rest for a little longer , Julius .
When you wake up , well go home .
Juliuss eyes scanned the room , his voice breaking as he asked , Did she come ? Sarahs fingers tightened , her breath catching .
Shed been the one to care for him all this time , yet he was only asking for Charlotte .
A flicker of anger stirred in her , but she quickly pushed it down .
She spoke in a soothing tone , Julius , your mom came earlier .
She had to leave because of something urgent .
Julius lips trembled , and his tears began to fall freely .
His small body shook with sobs as the weight of his disappointment crashed down on him .
He thought , Im sick and have a fever .
Shes not even here .
What could be more important than me ? Shes never done this before .
At his age , especially when unwell , his emotions were fragile .
He could only think about the times Charlotte had cared for him like when he had a fever before , and she stayed by his side the entire time , never leaving until he was better .
But now , she had barely looked at him before leaving .
The sharp contrast between then and now cut deep .
His heart was heavy with sadness and betrayal , and soon his cries became uncontrollable .
Arthurs irritation grew .
He thought about Charlottes coldness and the distance she had put between them .
His jaw tightened as he fought the urge to snap .
Just then , his phone rang .
The screen showed a transfer of five hundred thousand from Barrett .
Before he could think , Barretts voice came through the line .
5/6 Arthur , Charlotte hit my car just now .
It wasnt a big deal , but she insisted on transferring money to me .
I told her not to , but she sent 500 grand anyway .
I thought it over and decided to send it to you .
There was a pause , and then Barrett added cautiously , Arthur , I saw Charlotte earlier … She was crying really hard .
What happened ? Arthur frowned at his words and asked , Is she alright ? Barrett reassured him , Shes fine .
The car was parked , and she bumped into it .
No injuries .
But I could tell she wasnt herself .
Arthur , where are you ? Maybe you should check on her .
Since she transferred the money , just yuy keep it .
He hung up without another word , his fingers gripping the phone tightly , his mind racing as he processed everything .
