Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 291

"Something happened to Avery." Charlotte patted the lady beside her on the shoulder and said, "I'll pay you twice the amount of the price. No matter who asks you, tell them that this woman and I left after this session has ended."

"This..." The lady didn't dare to agree.

"Don't worry. I'm talking about ordinary people. They don't have the authority to monitor and record," Charlotte comforted her.

"Okay then, as long as it's not the police."

Charlotte nodded. After paying the two ladies, she told them to go out first.

Charlotte walked to the closet and took out her clothes to put them on. Only then did she turn to Zoe and said, "Avery is in the hospital. Peter told me that when he arrived, Avery was already unconscious and bleeding profusely. Sending him to the hospital can only show his vital signs, but..."

Peter was careful with his words. He mentioned "can only show his vital signs", meaning that Avery was currently hovering between life and death.

Zoe didn't dare to act slow and quickly got up to change.

The two of them rushed to the hospital. Peter had already been waiting downstairs for a very long time.

Seeing the two of them, Peter's eyes suddenly turned red. "Ms. Emerson, Avery didn't give me much useful information. I just heard from the people at Jane Corporation, saying that he sent a text message before he fell off the building, so I investigated and found that he sent a message to a person named Irena."

"What did he send?" Charlotte asked as she walked indoors.

"Roughly, he said that he has found the murderer who killed her and that he will claim justice for her as soon as possible." Peter rubbed his eyes and continued, "I don't want to get into details. It's quite heartbreaking."

Charlotte nodded.

Avery's love for Irena was very enviable. Even on normal days, he would always become emotional whenever someone mentioned Irena, let alone when something bad had happened.

Peter had already paid for the medical fees. The main reason he asked Charlotte to come was to sign the documents. After all, Avery and Charlotte had already established a legal partnership. As a partner, she could sign some private documents on behalf of his relatives.

After all the documents were signed, the three of them went to the front of the operating room and waited.

When one of the nurses who came out to change shifts saw Peter, she immediately walked over and asked, "Are you Avery Hart's family member?"

Peter pointed at Charlotte and said, "She is."

"So, I just want to let you know that." The nurse turned towards Charlotte and continued, "He is in a really bad condition now. You guys have to be mentally prepared. If there's anyone who wants to come over and see him, you'd better inform them, in case... he's gone."

"Okay, I understand."

Gone.

Upon hearing that, Zoe staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Peter was holding her.

Charlotte was also very shocked. However, before coming to the hospital, she had already mentally prepared herself. So, even though she was shocked, she didn't show it on her face.

Avery didn't have many friends in River City, or in other words, he had none. So, Charlotte could only phone and explain the current situation to his subordinates and business partners. After a round of phone calls, she dialed Shane's number.

She felt that Shane probably wouldn't come.

"Avery?" Shane frowned.

"Yes, he..." Charlotte explained everything. Then, she asked carefully, "Do you want to come over and see him?"

"This is such a serious matter. Why did you only tell me when he's about to die?"

"Uhm, I just arrived at the hospital too. Didn't Peter tell you?"

Only then did Charlotte remember that Peter was Shane's man, wasn't he?

Technically, he should've called her and Shane to come over at the same time. Why didn't Peter do that?

"No, I'm coming now." Shane ended the call.

Charlotte put her phone back and walked over to Peter. "Peter, when you called me, why didn't you inform Shane too?"

Peter was comforting Zoe at that moment. When he heard Charlotte's question, he was stunned at first and then said embarrassedly, "I forgot to, Ms. Emerson."

He forgot...

Charlotte was dumbfounded. "How can you forget him?" "Maybe it's because I've been working with you a lot recently, so I forgot that I needed to inform Mr. Fuller too."

"Explain it to him later."

"Alright."

Soon.

Most of Avery's subordinates had arrived, together with several of his business partners. Their eyes were all red. They had obviously been crying on their way here.
