NovelEnglishChapter 32 She Was Crying
Sarah lowered her gaze, a flash of coldness in her eyes, but her face remained soft and gentle as she asked,
“Julius, how are you feeling?”
Julius’ voice was hoarse and thick with
congestion. “Ms. Miller, I'm fine now.”
The moment Arthur entered, Julius looked up at him, his eyes filled with longing. “Dad, | want to go home.”
Arthur nodded. “We'll go honce you're done with your IV.”
Julius’ lips quivered as he hesitated, his voice barely above a whisper. “I want to
back to Rose Villa.”

Arthur's expression darkened with irritation. He couldn't help but feel angry with Charlotte. If she had stayed,
their son wouldn't feel so abandoned, so alone.
Suppressing the frustration building within him, Arthur said, “Rest for a little longer, Julius. When you wake up,
we'll go home.”
Julius’s eyes scanned the room, his voice breaking as he asked, “Did she come?”
Sarah's fingers tightened, her breath catching. She’d been the one to care for him all this time, yet he was only
asking for Charlotte.
A flicker of anger stirred in her, but she
quickly pushed it down.
She spoke in a soothing tone, “Julius, your mom cearlier. She had to leave because of something urgent.”
Julius’ lips trembled, and his tears began to fall freely. His small body shook with sobs as the weight of his
disappointment crashed down on him.
He thought, “I'm sick and have a fever. She’s not even here. What could be more important than me?
She's never done this before.”
At his age, especially when unwell, his emotions were fragile. He could only think about the times Charlotte had
cared for him like when he had a fever before, and she stayed by his side the entire time,
never leaving until he was better.
But now, she had barely looked at him before leaving.
The sharp contrast between then and now cut deep. His heart was heavy with sadness and betrayal, and soon
his cries becuncontrollable.
Arthur's irritation grew. He thought about Charlotte's coldness and the distance she had put between them. His
jaw tightened as he fought the urge to snap.

thousand from Barrett.

her not to, but she sent 500 grand anyway. | thought it over and decided to send it to you.”
There was a pause, and then Barrett added cautiously, “Arthur, | saw Charlotte earlier... She was crying really
hard. What happened?”
Arthur frowned at his words and asked, “Is she alright?”
Barrett reassured him, “She’s fine. The car was parked, and she bumped into it. No injuries. But I could tell she
wasn't herself. Arthur, where are you? Maybe you should check on her.”
“Since she transferred the money, just

He hung up without another word, his fingers gripping the phone tightly, his mind racing as he processed
everything.
