"Thank you.” He thanked her politely but indifferently, like a stranger.
“No problem.” Her heart ached, and she took a deep breath.
He did not look at her again as he turned to Daisy and said hello politely. "How are you doing, Mrs. Hart?"
Daisy looked at the girl and Mark, then at Summer." Surviving!" she said grumpily.
"Take care. After having dinner with Charlotte, I will send her back." Mark did not mind Daisy’s reaction.
Summer remained silent. It was Daisy who felt not too happy. "Charlotte has already had dinner. Thank you for your kindness.”
"I want to have dinner with Daddy. I want to be with Daddy. I am hungry,” Charlotte suddenly said.
Charlotte's words were a slap in the face for Daisy.
She looked embarrassed. But it was her own granddaughter; there was nothing she could do about i t.
"I will send her back safely." Mark turned around and left with the girl and Charlotte.
Mark did not look back again, not even trying to
glance out of the corner of his eye. He seemed to treat her like a stranger. But when he was about to walk out of the ward, he paused for a second.
When looking from behind, those who were not in the know would have thought that the three of them were a happy family.
