Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 166

"Yes, I have some medicine." Henry took out a small bag of pills. "I'll bring her some water. Once she takes this, she will be sleeping for four to five hours."

"Okay." Shane nodded.

Henry left the bedroom to get some water.

Shane lowered his gaze. He looked at the fragile woman in his arms and gently stroked the tips of her eyebrows with his fingers.

"Did you hear that? If you go all out for Rick, you are really going to give your life to him."

"I don't want to let Rick down..." She was in such great pain that her words were incoherent.

"He's just using you."

"He's not."

Shane didn't want to argue too much with this insensible woman. He coldly withdrew his arm and said, "Think about it carefully. You have problems with your health now. How can Rick help you?"

Charlotte tightened her grip on the blanket. "No. He also told me to rest, but I didn't want to. If I want to catch up with all of you, I have to work even harder than all of you. But even if I were lucky enough to have ten years headstart, I could still only be good enough not to be a burden to all of you."

"Catch up with us?" Shane felt like he was listening to a joke.

"I don't want to rely on you forever. When something happens, I want to solve it myself, instead of..."

It made him feel that she should ask him for help as soon as possible.

Shane took a probing look at her. Then he bent down and pointed between her eyebrows. "A smart woman must learn how to make use of men in addition to being capable. Obviously, both me and Rick can be your weapons."

Charlotte shook her head subconsciously. She stretched out her hand and pushed him away. She struggled to stand up and looked at him seriously, "If I rely on Rick, at least it's related to benefits. But if I rely on you, then what's the point of it?"

"What do you think?"

"I... I know we have nothing to do with each other."

"That's up to you. I'll tell Rick that, if such a thing happens again, I'll make his Janes Corporation disappear from the Asia Pacific Region. You can decide what to do."

Shane stood up and left the bedroom.

"This man!" Charlotte seethed.

Charlotte's eyes widened. He had threatened her!

Charlotte's stomach hurt.

She clutched at her stomach and felt even more aggrieved.

Was it still her fault that she didn't bother anyone?

If she had known that skipping two meals would cause a stomachache, she wouldn't have skipped them. It was just that she had been too busy in those two days. She had been sleepy once she got on the plane and didn't have time to have lunch.

Additionally, she had signed the contract with Avery that day. If she said, "I'm going to have dinner first," right after meeting him, then she definitely wouldn't have gotten the contract signed.

She also knew that overwork was bad, so she was resting now, wasn't she?

There were so many people in the Jane Corporation and NC Company. They both had countless workaholics there, but none of those people collapsed from overwork.

Charlotte angrily hit the mattress to vent her frustration.

She was not angry with Shane. It was her own body that disappointed her.

If other people could do it, why couldn't she? Why had she gotten sick?

Squeak-

Henry pushed the door open.

"Miss Charlotte." Henry smiled at her. "When you take these pills, you will feel sleepy. You'd better go to sleep immediately. When you wake up, you will be fine."

"Thank you." Charlotte accepted the cup of water.

"I just examined you and analyzed your saliva. To put it simply, you've recently been consuming too little, which led to a problem with the secretion function of stomach acid." Henry said.

"I'll be careful."

"You should eat proper meals in the next two days."

Charlotte nodded.

Henry hesitated for a moment but eventually chose to speak up. "This is something I shouldn't be saying. However, Miss Charlotte, Rome was not built in one day. If a person wants to build a city as quickly as possible, they will have to eat and drink without sleep or rest. However, they will die before they are even done."

Rushing will get you nowhere-Even children in kindergarten understood the logic behind this, so Charlotte naturally understood.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, I'll be careful."

"Mr. Fuller is already being very patient with you. I also hope that you can be more patient with him."

Charlotte was stunned. She didn't understand how the conversation had gone back to Shane. Although she was suspicious, she understood Henry's good intentions, so she nodded her head.

Henry left the room.

As Henry passed by the living room, he saw Shane still standing in front of the window. He sighed and whispered, "Are you lovesick, Mr. Fuller?"

"Stop joking."

"I'm just curious. There's been a lot of gossip in our circles. People are saying you picked up a certain Ms. Allen, but you're here hiding out with someone else." "Do you have too much free time?" "What you're doing is called burning the bridge behind you."

"Don't I pay you?"

Henry felt helpless. Judging from Shane's expression, it was useless for Henry to talk to him. It would be better for him to just leave first.
