Chapter 18
Striding toward the house, he ordered, “Go get the first aid kit.”
“Understood.”
Shocked, a maid asked the driver in a hushed voice, “What happened? Why did Mr. Bradford bring Ms. Lindsey back?“.
“Don’t stick your nose in things that don’t concern you.”
“Y–Yes.”
Gregory carried Charlotte to the guest room.

She had several scrapes all over her body, and her pretty face bore a few blood marks.
His heart ached as he gently took care of her wounds. He cleaned them with iodine and then put on some ointment.
He had known her since she was little.

Even if they hadn’t been close like that, he’d still help her out.
After tending to Charlotte’s injuries, Gregory sat quietly on the edge of the bed, gazing at her in thought.
She had grown up.
Her face lost its childish look and became strikingly beautiful. Her figure had developed curves, not like the little girl she used to be.
A faint cough broke the silence.

After sleeping for about an hour, Charlotte slowly woke up.
“You’re awake?” Gregory, noticing her cough, poured a glass of warm water and gently brought it to her lips.
Parched and groggy, she took a few sips, then rested for nearly half a minute before her mind began to clear.
She found herself in a strange place, with all the decorations in cool colors. It felt understated yet elegant.
Glancing to the side, she saw Gregory sitting right next to her, staring at her like he was lost in thought.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she tried to sit up.
“Where is this? Why am I here?”
As she straightened, the silk blanket slid off.
She realized her clothes were gone!
In their place was a cool, silky nightgown.
Her mind went blank, and she instantly pulled the blanket back over herself. Glaring at Gregory, she demanded, “Where are my clothes?
“Did you take them off? How could you? Did you sneak a peek at me?”
They had slept together, but that had been out of sheer necessity, not because they liked each other that way.
Now, they were back to where they started, and they needed to keep their distance like before.
Seeing how nervous and angry she was, Gregory chuckled. “You’re

overthinking it. I had the maid change your clothes.”
With that, he stood up and walked out. “A girl like you? I’ve got no interest in sneaking a peek.”
Charlotte felt a lump in her throat and was kind of embarrassed.
It was true.
Gregory was always like a cold, distant guy who didn’t mess around with girls.
He was almost 30, and no one had ever heard of him dating anyone.
If it hadn’t been for the drug that night, he wouldn’t have been so fierce and unstoppable.
About five minutes later, a maid knocked and came in, holding a luxury- brand shopping bag.
“Ms. Lindsey, these are the clothes Mr. Bradford got for you. You can change into them.”
“Okay, thanks.”

The maid put the clothes on the bedside table and smiled as she left the
room.

Charlotte clutched the edge of the blanket, her fingers turning a little pale.
At the same time, she felt even more guilty.
In her last life, Gregory had been such a brilliant guy, but she got him into trouble, causing him to spend three years in jail and ruin his reputation.
She wanted to make up for her mistakes from the last life.

A short while later, she changed into the clothes and stepped out of the
room.
A short while later, Charlotte changed into the clothes and stepped out of the room, a bit shy.
Gregory was sitting on the couch in the living room, casually flipping through a newspaper.
“Um… Well, thank you for saving me.” Charlotte finally managed, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
She used to call him “Uncle Gregory” because of his relation to Timothy.
But ever since they slept together, she couldn’t bring herself to call him that anymore.
Without even looking up, Gregory replied in a flat tone, “It was no big deal.”
“My phone is broken. Can you give me a ride home? Or maybe let me borrow your phone to make a call.”
