Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 236

"What do you think?" Shane asked her back.

"How would I know?" she mumbled.

Shane didn't hear what she said. He kept looking down to check his phone, waiting for Cole's response.

After three to four minutes, Cole sent a message: Kendall had been caught, but Sheryl isn't in a good condition. You and Miss Charlotte better come up and take a look. Miss Charlotte might be hiding something from you.

"Let's go upstairs." Shane kept his phone away.

"Okay," Charlotte replied. She immediately nodded and followed him into the elevator.

In Charlotte's mind, there was nothing to be afraid of with Shane by her side, so she wasn't as anxious as before.

But the closer she got, the more she felt like something was wrong.

Shane asked Cole to go upstairs first because he obviously wanted Cole to bring Sheryl back so that Charlotte wouldn't get involved in this matter.

Maybe he was worried about her mental state?

Charlotte subconsciously turned to look at Shane,

wondering what he was thinking about?

"Why are you looking at me?"

"Well, why didn't you bring me upstairs at the beginning?" She looked away.

"It's enough to have Cole."

"What about now?"

Shane remained silent.

Charlotte's heart stopped beating for a second. Could it be that something had happened to Sheryl? She couldn't help but reach out and grab his sleeve. "Shane, did something happen to Sheryl?"

"I don't know. I can't confirm until we see her."

"She..." Charlotte's heart fell to the pit of her stomach. At that moment, she felt as if her body had been tossed in the air. Her legs became wobbly, and her body went limp.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn't.

Shane reached out to hold her in his arms and said, "Cole didn't say a lot. He only said that the situation is not very good. Since he asked us to head over and take a look, it means that the problem is not that bad."

Charlotte helped herself up by holding onto his arm. She opened her mouth to speak and weakly shook her head at him. "You don't understand.

Sheryl is my everything. Not to mention that today's incident happened because of me. I... I was the one to blame."

"You haven't done anything wrong to her."

Charlotte looked at him and parted her lips, wanting to say something but stopped on second thought.

Shane just took her into his arms, placed his long fingers on the back of her head, and gently stroked her hair. "Let's go up first before we talk about it."

She nodded.

He lowered his gaze to look at her, but all he could see was the top of her head. The mild fragrance of her hair put his heart slightly at ease.

She was his daughter too, so why wouldn't he be worried about her?

However, he knew that it was pointless to be anxious or to cry. Since it had already happened, it was better to deal with it than to blame themselves.

Soon, the door of the elevator opened.

Shane walked out with Charlotte.

Cole was pressing Kendall down in the long corridor. When he saw the two of them coming, he immediately handed Kendall over to the people beside him and strode to the two of them. He bowed politely and said, "Mr. Fuller, Miss Charlotte, we have caught the two of them, but Sheryl was injured during the process. We bandaged her wounds, but she wouldn't stop bleeding, so..."

"Did you call a doctor? Is the wounded area big?" Charlotte asked impatiently.

"I called 911. The wounded area isn't too big."

When Charlotte heard that, her mind relaxed a little. She pushed Cole away and strode inside.

With his head hung low, he said, "Mr. Fuller, it's my fault."

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

"Yes."

Charlotte entered the house.

Sheryl was lying on the bed. Two people surrounded her, constantly trying to stop the bleeding of her wound and make her laugh.

The wound was really not that big. It was only a small cut.

Charlotte's eyes welled up. She walked towards Sheryl and sat down beside her, reaching out her hand to hold hers. "Sheryl, does it hurt?"

"Mommy." Sheryl shook her head with a smile. "I'm already used to it. This is much better than the headache I've had last time."

"I..." Charlotte wanted to comfort Sheryl, but she couldn't hold it in any longer and broke down before her.

Instead, it was Sheryl who reached out to wipe her tears. "Mommy, it's not your fault. You didn't hurt Sheryl. Besides, it's only such a small wound. It'll be fine if we go to the hospital. Sheryl won't die."

"Yes, Sheryl won't die, won't die..."

Shane stood at the door and watched this scene unfold. His fingers hanging at his side slightly tightened. "Cole."
