My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 893

“Saving people is his job.” Charlotte retracted her hand awkwardly. “I’m glad you’re fine.”

For some inexplicable reason, however, she kept feeling that there was a hint of passion and admiration in Sheryn’s eyes when the latter gazed at Joseph.

Perhaps I’m just overthinking it.

The two scornful nurses from earlier, Junie and Hazel, were shocked as they witnessed this scene.

Why is she addressing Mr. Joseph so intimately? Who is she, really? Mr. Joseph isn’t going to give us a hard time now, is he?

They were dumbfounded.

As Hazel recalled how brashly she had treated Charlotte earlier, her cheeks started to burn.

She could not help but go forward to Charlotte and apologize earnestly, “Miss, I had no idea that you’re acquainted with Mr. Joseph and was rather rude to you just now. I hope you don’t mind.”

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. “It’s fine. You were right. I’m, after all, not a licensed nurse. There is no reason to apologize.”

“Huh?” Hazel blinked.

Did she just say that it’s fine? But I was so rude to her earlier!

Junie leaned toward her and whispered, “Don’t be a fool! She’s clearly just pretending to be big-hearted in front of Mr. Joseph. Who knows what tales she would tell about you behind your back later?”

Observing Charlotte’s facial expression, Hazel remarked, “I don’t think so, though. She doesn’t look like a calculating person.”

“You can never judge a book by its cover.”

As they secretly chatted with each other, the flap of the tent was pulled open abruptly, and a middle- aged couple stepped in.

“Joe!”

Fae scurried toward Joseph. The moment she saw the bloodstains on her son’s face, her heart wrenched with pain. “Are you all right? How could you have tried to block such a huge rock by yourself? Did you think your head is made of steel?”

“Mom, I’m fine. Look, they’ve bandaged me up.”

Joseph had not seen his mother for a few days. Hearing his mother’s nagging at this moment, he felt a deep warmth spreading through his heart.

Upon seeing the bloody state his son’s head was in, James could not help but frown as well. “Joe, you were too careless. Saving others is important, but so is your own safety. You should never act so recklessly again in the future. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Sir!” answered Joseph with a cheeky smile.

After shooting a glare at him, Fae finally turned to Charlotte. “Here you are, Lottie! I’ve been looking all over for you. You’ve given me such a fright! I was just telling your dad to send someone to look for you. I would be heartbroken if something happened to you or Joe.”

At this moment, Junie and Hazel, whose faces were only slightly flushed earlier, were blushing so furiously that it was as if their cheeks were on fire.

What? She’s actually a member of the Field family?

Seeing how endearingly Fae acted toward Charlotte, the two nurses were practically on the brink of tears.

Is she the daughter of the Field family? How could she be so modest? Look at those work clothes and those black boots, black down jacket, and the black jeans she’s clad in… She doesn’t look like the daughter of the Field family at all!

Charlotte bit her lip with a worried look in her eyes. “Mom, the doctor advised Joseph to get a brain scan at the hospital in the city. He should get a CT scan or something like that in case he has internal bleeding or damaged blood vessels in his brain, but he just wouldn’t go.”

“Joe, it’s very crowded here. I think it’s best if you go to a hospital.” As soon as Fae heard that, she knew that her son’s head injury was not as simple as it looked.

“Mom, I’m really okay.” Joseph shook his head. “I want to stay here with Dad. Besides, Lucas and Aunt Ashlyn aren’t back yet. How can I go to the hospital now?”

Fae could only let out a long, helpless sigh.

Looking at the rain that continued to fall outside the tent, James gritted his teeth. “I’ll send people to look for them. It looks like night’s about to fall. If this goes on, they’ll only be in more danger in the hardest-hit area.”

With that, he left the tent.

The strong gale howled as the rain poured like a waterfall.

As a gust of wind blew, the rain that was dense as a waterfall swept through the air like waves.
