Chapter 115 No One Didn't Like Her

"About what happened today... I hope you won't get angry."

Charlotte shook her head, "I'm not angry. I've encountered situations like this many times before."

Mathew nodded, "That's good."

"Regarding Fiona..." Charlotte looked at the fast-moving scenery outside and said, "Her physical health is not a big issue, but the key is her mindset. It seems like... She doesn't wish to live anymore."

Charlotte expected Matthew to be surprised, but he remained calm and said, "I know."

Charlotte thought for a moment and added, "She told me that she's seeking redemption."

Matthew's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he suddenly stepped on the brakes, "I... I need to have a cigarette."

Charlotte nodded.

She leaned against the window of the back seat and seeing that Matthew's cold and stern profile as he lowered his head slightly to light a cigarette.

Matthew's appearance was not very similar to Nelson's. Nelson's looks were probably inherited from his mother, with a delicate and stunning beauty, as if every contour of his features was intricately crafted by a divine hand. On the other hand, Matthew exuded a sense of coldness and solemnity. His features were well-defined and seemed to be chiseled with sharpness, devoid of any softness or tenderness, making gentleness seem out of place on him.

But in that momentary silhouette, Charlotte unexpectedly caught a glimpse of an assemblage of Nelson in between Matthew's brows and eyes. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Matthew quickly adjusted his emotions, and he returned even before finishing the cigarette.

Matthew dropped Charlotte off at Oswye Community and then he left. When Charlotte entered the villa, she found there was a guest inside.

The guest was an elderly man who appeared to be close to his 80s. He dressed neatly in a suit. His hair was completely grey and he was having a long beard. His spirit was lively and his aura was strong, giving off a very benevolent vibe.

Nelson sat opposite the old man, wearing a simple black round-neck home attire that revealed a hint of his sharp collarbone. Combined with his exquisite features, he looked like the kind of person who could easily captivate countless young girls.

When his gaze swept over Charlotte, he raised his chin slightly and said, "Come over."

Charlotte obediently walked up to him.

Nelson said, "This is Mr. Harrison Xavier."

Charlotte's eyes immediately lit up and shouted out in her mind, "Harrison Xavier!"

He was a renowned national medical expert who stood at the pinnacle of the medical world! She often heard her grandfather talk about him, praising his unparalleled medical skills, but he had stopped seeing patients for a long time due to his old age.

She never expected to meet Mr. Xavier in person!

Charlotte's current mood could be described as a fangirling young girl who had met her idol!

Feeling a bit overwhelmed, Charlotte bowed to Mr. Xavier, "Hello! I'm Charlotte Lopez!"

Harrison was taken aback for a moment, then smiled warmly, "Hello, young girl."

Charlotte blushed and apologized, "I got too excited when I saw you."

Harrison chuckled gently, "You look very young. Have you heard of me before?"

"My grandfather often speaks highly of you," Charlotte replied. She continued, "Our family has been practicing medicine for generations, so I have grown up hearing your name all the time."

Harrison carefully looked at Charlotte and suddenly said, "Young girl, the way you look reminds me of a young talent I once knew. She was extremely brilliant back then, but later..." He paused, sighed, and asked, "Do you know Madelyn Moore?"

Charlotte was taken aback.

Madelyn Moore... That was her mother.

"She is my mother. Do you know her?" Charlotte asked nervously.

Perhaps Madelyn was too low-key and kept a low profile, as very few people knew her. Charlotte's memories of her mother were somewhat blurry, and she couldn't form a clear image even with the help of others.

During those ten years, Madelyn lived like an invisible person, and no one paid any attention to her.

It was the first time she heard her mother's name from someone else's mouth.

"So, you are her daughter..." Harrison muttered, "No wonder you look somewhat familiar... Young girl, your mother, she almost became my disciple back then. Is she doing well now?"

Charlotte paused and said, "She passed away eight years ago."

Harrison was silent for a moment. Then, he sighed, "I told her back then, but she wouldn't listen... Young girl, is your grandfather, Mr. Moore, doing well?"

Charlotte replied, "My grandfather is doing alright, but he needs to stay in the hospital."

Harrison lamented, "Your grandfather and I were once kindred spirits who met late in life. The Moore family was full of extraordinary talents. When your grandfather was only 20 years old, he already earned my admiration and respect. Your mother also shined brightly in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. It's just a pity that..."

"What's a pity?"

However, Harrison didn't continue but asked, "Young girl, are you studying medicine too?"

Charlotte nodded, "Yes, I just went to see Ms. Ryker."

"Do you mean Fiona?" Harrison seemed to be familiar with Fiona and shook his head, saying, "That girl... It's her own struggles, and there's nothing we can do about it."

Charlotte felt a bit sad and said, "But I feel that Ms. Ryker shouldn't feel that way. Her life could have been beautiful."

Harrison responded, "That's her karma. Others can't intervene."

Charlotte sighed and said, "Can you tell me more about my mother?"

"Why not?"

"Thank you!"

......

Nelson didn't say a word and coldly observed Charlotte's excitement and sneered.

Oh well, now that old man was more interesting to her than he was.

Completely unaware of someone's resentment, Charlotte continued to ask with excitement, "What happened next?"

Harrison said, "Because she was mischievous, I punished her to organize the herbal storage room... It was a very large warehouse with various types of herbs. She was so angry at the time that she cried, saying that I didn't care about her at all and she wanted to go back to her parents to complain. It really left me both amused and exasperated." Harrison shook his head and added, "Looking back now, although she was not my apprentice, she was my favorite junior. She was talented, clever, and adorable. Everyone liked her."

He smiled slightly, "I still remember how she used to laugh. It was so bright and lovely."

Charlotte couldn't help but smile too, "I never thought my mother was so mischievous when she was young."

Harrison waved his hand and said, "Because she was the only daughter in the family, your grandfather and grandmother doted on her, making her spoiled and temperamental. She would cry at the slightest provocation, wanting the whole world to know if she felt wronged. She couldn't be disciplined or scolded. It was hard to deal with her."

Charlotte chuckled, but in her mind, she was feeling a bit puzzled.

The image of her mother described by Mr. Xavier was quite different from the one Charlotte was familiar with... What could have caused such a drastic change in Madelyn's personality?
