Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 356

Avery looked towards her and noticed she was standing at the door with her knees half-bent. Her legs and thighs were full of thorns.

Avery immediately put down the mouse and walked towards her. He picked her up and asked, "What happened?"

"I accidentally fell onto a cactus." There was not a trace of fear in her voice. She was quite calm.

She was badly injured. Avery couldn't care much. He quickly laid her down in her room and called the doctor. According to the doctor, he has to disinfect her wound with alcohol to prevent an infection. While waiting for the doctor, Olive stared at the ceiling blankly. It wasn't that she didn't feel pain but she had suffered worse before. Hence, she felt there was no need to fuss about this injury.

Soon, the doctor rushed to the house. He was stunned when he saw Olive. "This is..."

My newly adopted daughter. Don't worry about anything else, treat her wounds first." Avery pointed at Olive's knee. "I've already cleaned her wounds a little. But you know I can't see the thorns well."

"Don't worry. I don't know why you wanted to play basketball that year. Now you've ruined your eyes and probably your brain too." Skylar took out a pair of tweezers from his medical bag and knelt before Olive to pull out the thorns on her skin.

Avery didn't bother to respond. Skylar was surprised and asked, "Don't you feel any pain?"

Olive shook her head. "I'm fine," she answered.

"Avery, is there something wrong with your adopted daughter's nerve? Did she go through a body check-up before you brought her back?"

Avery never thought of this issue. "No, the family who adopted her before did it and they sent the results to me. There was no problem. She just has a stronger endurance than usual people."

"Do you want to have a taste of this pain?" Skylar asked as he wiped off the blood on one of the thorns and soaked it into alcohol.

"Come on."

"No, Mr. Avery..." Olive was a little worried. After all, it still hurt, it's just she could tolerate the pain.

Unlike Olive, Skylar didn't pity Avery. After making sure the thorn was sterilised, he stabbed it into Avery's knee as deep as Olive's wound. Avery winced immediately, it was so painful he gnashed his teeth.

The pain was hard to describe. It was like the gentle touch of a nail but the feeling of the sharp end piercing into the skin was so bad.

The moment the thorn entered his skin, he felt an uncomfortable pain.

To put it simply, the discomfort was greater than the pain and this kind of discomfort was more unbearable than pain.

Skylar pulled out the thorn.

"D*mn..." Avery couldn't help but curse.

"How did it feel?" Skylar asked with a smile.

"How can you bear it, Olive?"

"I didn't. I really don't feel pain." Olive looked confused. Why did Avery feel pain? Was it because Avery liked an indulging life?

Avery smirked. He only had two choices now. One was to admit there was something wrong with his nerves, another was to admit there was something wrong with Olive's nerves. However, neither one of them seemed to be good.

"Can you test pain receptors?" Avery asked.

"Sure," he replied. "But you have to come with me to my research room."

"I'll go over when I'm done with Braden's matter. Run a test for me and Olive." "Alright." Skylar left after treating Olive's wound. There were many small wounds on Olive's knee. She might not be able to recover in a short time.

Avery looked at her pale skin and he felt sorry for her. Although she was not his child, they could bond through joys and sorrows. His heart ached as he saw her like this.

"Olive, rest well for a while. You can skip your classes."

"Mr. Avery, there's no need to. I hurt my legs but I still can learn. I just can't run." Olive had a strong desire to learn.

"I said stop."

Olive felt a little upset. But she just nodded obediently and didn't protest anymore.

Anyway, she could secretly do some homework and Avery wouldn't mind. She knew he just wanted her to rest well.

After taking care of Olive, Avery returned to the computer. He only found out Peter had sent him a lot of messages. Avery rubbed his temples. His head ached but he had to continue looking through the documents on the table.

After he finished, his whole body was in pain. Peter didn't give him a lot of information but some were in a foreign language. He didn't know how Peter got them.
