Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

No one knew if Cassius or Jovanni had enemies who wanted them dead. If that’s the case, Charlotte and Shane would be caught in the crossfire. Although Shane and Charlotte were affluent now, they would still be vulnerable in the political circle.

Business was business; politics were politics. It’s best to avoid them and keep them away from families.

“You should investigate Cassius carefully. You should try to be as meticulous as possible, even if there’s seemingly nothing hidden,” Shane said.

“So, do you want to fake an illness and go to the hospital with me? Coincidentally, I feel a little sore in my ribs these two days and need to have a physical examination done.”

“Sure.”

With Shane’s approval, Avery began to make arrangements. First, the hospitalization, then a list of miscellaneous orders. Finally, he sent Shane in. He administered an IV drip for Shane that delivered a combination of glucose and antibiotics. Shane had a lot of old injuries and needed to recuperate, so this was not just for show.

Previously when Skylar treated Rick, he mentioned that Shane had injuries from being hypnotized. They had to pay close attention to any potential brain damage. Therefore, he needed a baptism of disinfectant in the hospital more than anyone else.

“Well, I’ve sent the news on social media. I believe that our lovely Charlotte will call me soon. It will be an opportune moment to bring her here. You should play the role of a patient who doesn’t want to talk or eat, so she will be forced to stay with you.”

Shane pursed his lips.

“Having second thoughts? Well, envision Charlotte and Cassius together, then think about Jovanni. Now, picture Jovanni with Charlotte. What you have given Charlotte will become her dowry, because I don’t believe that Jovanni wouldn’t fall for Charlotte.”

Charlotte was flushed with resources and money now, even more so than Shane. Avery’s words were not an exaggeration.

“Got it,” Shane said.

“You’d better get it. Well, I have my physical examination now. Stay here, Skylar will be here in a minute to examine you. Take this moment to get all your wounds checked out.”

Avery finished and left. It was always rowdy with him around. The sudden silence was jarring in his absence.

Shane heard his own pulse beating and the constant dripping from the IV bag. The room was sterile and devoid of any colors. Even the curtains were pure white. Outside the window, the clouds were white, too. The sky was not blue, but a little gray that it looked whitish.

Never in his life did he foresee himself feigning ill in a hospital.

He closed his eyes, intending to take a nap.

As soon as his eyes were shut, a picture of Charlotte and Cassius standing together materialized.

Their involvement had only been a rumor, and it was Cassius who had clarified it at that time.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps Charlotte did not wish to shed light on the allegations because she wanted to cement their relationship.

Any thoughts of sleeping vanished. He opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

He had never felt so frustrated before.

…

Charlotte saw Avery’s WeChat Moment four hours after it had been updated. She did not expect Shane to suddenly fall ill. However, she recalled Avery saying that Shane went missing due to his injuries.

It seemed that the incident was orchestrated by the Stevens family. To think that they wanted Shane dead and would stop at nothing to accomplish it, he must have been mortally wounded.

She started feeling a little anxious.

After a moment, she decided to call Avery.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Oh? Shane? Well, his old and new wounds reopened and he has been hospitalized. I’d be busy in the hospital these two days. Don’t bother me if there’s nothing important.” Avery deliberately cut himself off of Shane and Charlotte.

Sure enough, Charlotte felt more anxious after hearing these words. “What happened, exactly? Can you tell me more?”

“Weren’t you unconcerned about him? It’s not strange for someone to die an untimely death, let alone someone whose body is battered and breathing his last. I finally got the chance to laugh at him.”

“Didn’t you take him to your villa? Why did he go to the hospital all of a sudden?”

“Do you think Shane would stay still? You really think I can keep him in check? Charlotte, you think too highly of me.” Avery sighed. “Alright, I still have to take care of Shane. Text me if you need anything. Goodbye, sweetheart.”

Avery hung up.

Charlotte was speechless.

Earlier on, Avery had insisted that she should visit Shane, but now he said he was busy and not once did he urge her to take care of Shane. Was he seriously injured? Was that why Avery decided to hide it from her?

Would Shane die?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt.

In the end, she sent Avery a message asking for the address of the hospital Shane’s in.

Avery, who claimed to be extremely busy, was currently daydreaming in his ward. He received her message and jumped in excitement, “Nice! I told you this method would work. Shane, look, Charlotte asked me for the hospital’s address. She’s coming over.”

“Right now?”

“That won’t work. I definitely won’t let her come right now. I need to make some preparations, and you have to fake as if you’re at death’s door.”

Shane didn’t say a word.

Shane suddenly got a sense of foreboding that Avery wasn’t concerned about his future with Charlotte. He was taking advantage of this opportunity as retribution.

Avery wasn’t worried about what Shane thought. He was in Avery’s hands now. He could play with Shane in whatever way he wanted.

Avery left the room and found a quiet corner to make a phone call to Skylar.

“Young Master.” Skylar picked up immediately.

“Let me ask you, is there anything that could induce temporary coma after ingesting? Nothing that could put someone’s life at risk, of course.” Avery asked in a serious tone.

“Yes, there is. Why do you need it?

Avery chuckled and laid out his plan in detail to Skylar. “Isn’t my plan flawless?” Avery proclaimed proudly.

“If Mr. Fuller and Miss Charlotte found out, your integrity might be compromised.”

Boohoo.

Avery spat in outrage, “Who do you work for? There’s no integrity to compromise if I have none.”

“That’s true. Right now, all you have is your virg…” Skylar deadpanned.

“What the f*ck did you say? Do you want to get fired? Say the word and I’ll grant your wish.” Avery rolled up his sleeves and continued, “If you were here now, I’ll definitely beat you up.”

“Young Master, when did you want to begin?” Skylar changed the topic.

It could be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. He was uncertain when Charlotte would come. It had to happen on the day she decided to visit.

Otherwise, with Charlotte’s vigilance and Peter, his lies would fall apart.

Therefore, Avery said, “Tomorrow.”

Tomorrow, he would have to get Charlotte to come to the hospital.
