Chapter 174 Too Morally Corrupt to Be a Doctor
"What would you like to eat?" Nelson held Charlotte's hand as the night breeze gently rustled his overcoat and said, "You barely ate anything earlier."
Chilled by the cool night air, Charlotte was sober. She lowered her head and replied after thinking for a while, "How about barbecue?"
So, Nelson took her to a barbecue restaurant.
Charlotte was a fan of spicy food, but she couldn't have too much. When she was younger and in poor health, she would watch her family enjoy the barbecue. At times, Madelyn, who felt sorry for her, would remove the chili peppers and peppercorns from the dishes, so she could take a bite. However, it never tasted the same.
Nelson chose a restaurant with a serene dining environment, went to a private room, and started to place orders.
Charlotte leaned over the table and looked over the menu. Nelson easily lifted her and told her to sit up straight. "Why are you always resting your head on the table?"
She replied, "It's comfortable."
She circled her preferred dishes on the menu and then handed it to Nelson, who added some other dishes casually. The restaurant served their dishes promptly. Charlotte grabbed two pieces of grilled beef, one for herself and one for Nelson, and then she quickly took bites of roasted chicken, braised sausages, and salad.
They enjoyed a delightful barbecue meal. On the way back, Charlotte suddenly remembered the thing she had forgotten. She cast a look at Nelson and asked with caution, "What's going to happen to Helena?"
"I won't hurt her," Mr. Clark responded seriously, "so rest assured."
Charlotte added, "I'm okay with whatever you do to her..."
Nelson raised his brow and asked, "Really?"
Charlotte frowned and said, "Except taking her room key card."
Nelson was speechless.
Charlotte wasn't one to harbor many emotions. While she was shocked to know how deviously Helena had schemed against her. But after that, Helena wasn't worth her anger. From then on, Helena was just a stranger to her.
...
That night she had a good sleep.
Helena screamed when she woke up, which was deafening. She clutched the covers, curled up in the corner of the bed, and kicked the two men who were still clinging to her out of bed, asking, "You! How can it be you? Where's Mr. Clark?"
The two men got up from the floor, and their heads were still somewhat foggy from the excessive aphrodisiacs they had been given. They even had trouble standing up. Petero snapped, "You bitch! What are you screaming for? Shut the fuck up!"
Helena said furiously, "How dare you yell at me? I'm your employer! You bastards, why are you here?"
The two men finally came to their senses. When they saw the person lying on the bed was Helena, they were confused and said,"This, this... is impossible. What's going on?"
Helena felt her heart was bleeding. She gritted her teeth and said, "You should be asking yourselves that question! Get your pants on and get out!"
