Chapter 798 The Weight of Nightmares
Inside Smith Manor.
Joe quietly got out of bed and looked back at Charlotte, who was still asleep.
Since coming back from the exhibition hall, Charlotte would wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares, even five or six times a night.
This torture made her quickly lose weight. In just five days, she looked noticeably thinner.
The only good thing was that Charlotte seemed to come to her senses from the constant stimulus and was finally able to communicate with them.
Thinking of this, a murderous look flashed in Joe’s eyes.
After learning about Charlotte’s situation, Sharon had already gone to various places to find psychological experts and temporarily shelved the continued investigation into Hope.
Joe rubbed his forehead tiredly and opened the door to the study. He had been staying with Charlotte almost all day lately, and could only deal with the company’s matters after she fell asleep.
Joe had just sat down when he heard Charlotte’s frightened scream. He immediately rushed over. Joe gently pushed open the door, and what he saw was Charlotte curled up in the corner of the bed under the dim light, holding her knees tightly, trembling all over. Joe’s eyes were filled with deep pity. He quickly walked to Charlotte and gently held her in his arms, “Had another nightmare? Don’t be afraid; I’m always here to protect you.” Charlotte trembled as she looked at him, “Why don’t…you send me to a sanatorium?” Joe frowned, his voice immediately becoming lower, “Who has been talking nonsense
to you?” These days, in order to take better care of Charlotte, Joe had hired a few additional medical staff to be on standby in Smith Manor. He wasn’t sure if it was these people who had said something to Charlotte that made her suddenly say this.
Charlotte shook her head, “No one has told me anything. It’s just that…”
Although her mind was still a bit muddled, she did notice the efforts of Joe and others.
For her sake, Joe made time to work every day. Whenever she woke up from nightmares, he was always there by her side, without any complaints.
And then there were Ben and Anna. To prevent them from being scared, Sir Smith tried every way to take care of them. The two children were sensible and never made a fuss about wanting to see their mother.
“I am a burden to all of you like this; perhaps it’s better if I go to a sanatorium,” Charlotte said with a bitter smile.
She has no memories of the past, so she may not be affected. But for Joe and others, it would be even more painful to see her suffer like this.
“Enough,” Joe said indifferently, looking at Charlotte, angry with her for the first time.
“As long as we are family, there is no such thing as one person dragging the other down. We will never send you to a sanatorium,” Joe said decisively.
Seeing Charlotte’s eyes turn red, he sighed deeply and pulled her into his arms.
“We have made it through so many difficult days in the past, so don’t give up now,” Joe looked seriously at Charlotte.
Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her.
At first, Charlotte became stiff all over, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Joe.
But Joe had no intention of letting her go, instead deepening the kiss.
