Charlotte Thompson’s voice was so soft, it seed like a gentle breeze could whisk it away.
However, Zara Ward could hear an unshakable determination in it.
"Mm, Charlotte, you’re absolutely right. I’ll keep working hard toward the direction I want." Zara nodded seriously with conviction.
"I believe you can do it," Charlotte bead a radiant smile at her.
After parting ways with Zara, Charlotte headed to Stardust Garden, where the children were currently accompanying Jasmine Clarkson.
Charlotte arrived just as it was ti for dinner. The mont the children sitting at the dining table saw Charlotte return, they jumped off their chairs and hurried to surround her.
"Mommy, Mommy, you’re back!"
"Perfect timing, Mommy, you can have dinner with us!"
"Mommy, you’ve worked hard today too."
The children crowded around Charlotte, speaking one after the other.
Looking at these obedient and adorable little ones, Charlotte felt her heart lt completely.
"Mommy, how’s Daddy doing? Is his injury better? What did the doctor say?"
The children were most concerned about Justin Battleson’s condition.
As soon as the children ntioned it, Charlotte’s expression turned a little heavy.
But before she could say anything, footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Everyone turned to look, and there stood Justin Battleson, walking in.
"Daddy, aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital? Why did you suddenly co back?"
When Grace Thompson saw him, she imdiately walked over. However, unlike usual, this ti she didn’t hold out her hands for Justin to carry her.
She knew very well that Justin’s shoulder was still injured.
"It’s fine. These injuries are just minor. If it weren’t for your mommy, Daddy would’ve been discharged long ago."
Justin reached out and gently ruffled Grace’s hair, speaking softly.
"But that’s not okay!"
Grace quickly grabbed Justin’s hand, her little pout showing she didn’t agree.
"Daddy’s injury isn’t fully healed yet. You should still be in the hospital receiving care from the doctors."
"Daddy didn’t want to leave either, but there are so issues at the company that require imdiate attention, so I had to check on things and process my discharge early."
Justin explained patiently. anwhile, Charlotte had already walked up to him, her brows furrowed as she looked him over.
"I didn’t go to the company this afternoon. How are things looking there?"
"There are so follow-up issues that need addressing. It’s had so impact on the company, but nothing major," Justin responded briefly to Charlotte.
Now that he was ho, Justin didn’t want to continue discussing work-related matters in front of the children.
Jasmine, upon seeing Justin return, appeared surprised. She asked him a few simple questions about his condition and, after confirming his injuries weren’t serious, finally felt relieved.
By now, dinner was ready. Charlotte led the children to wash their hands before they all sat down at the table.
Just as Charlotte was about to pick up her chopsticks, a thought seed to cross her mind. She turned to Justin beside her and asked worriedly, "With your shoulder and arm injured, will it be difficult for you to eat?"
Hearing Charlotte’s comnt, the other children also set down their bowls and chopsticks, looking at Justin with concern.
