Was there something you needed ? Her heart pounded in her chest , her grip on the fabric of her dress tightening until her knuckles turned white .
She thought , Why has he noticed me ? Id done everything to stay under the radar .
The man pulled out a box and opened it , revealing the jade ring from earlier .
Under the light , the gemstone gleamed with a soft , luminous glow , its diamond accents sparkling like tiny stars .
You seemed to like this , he said , his tone casual but firm .
Take it .
Its yours .

I didnt say it was you .
I just … Im not feeling right .
Can you help me to the lounge ? Chapter 388 You Need a Woman 3/4 His voice sounded so off , so unsteady , that Charlotte hesitated .
After a moment , she sighed and nodded , Fine .
She slipped an arm around him , helping him up , and they made their way to the lounge .

Ill go find Dr.
Holland , she said briskly , already heading toward the door .
Charlotte … Arthurs voice was thick with desperation , his body burning up , every nerve screaming for relief .
He reached for her , but she was already walking out .
He thought , Charlotte , you are my cure but now youre going to find me a doctor .

She said youve been drugged … and that you need a woman .
