At that very moment, across the narrow road, a familiar figure slipped into Ethan\u2019s line of sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The woman was dressed in casual athletic wear, a large travel backpack slung over her shoulders, standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change. As Ethan noticed her, she seemed to glance over as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their eyes met briefly. Almost at once, the woman turned and hurried away along a detour. Ethan\u2019s gaze followed her without pause until he saw her disappear into a small private hospital nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte ran straight into the hospital elevator before finally letting out a breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t been mistaken. The man across the street had been Ethan-and beside him was another woman, her profile oddly familiar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though she had no real connection with him, an uneasy feeling churned in her chest, as if she had witnessed something she shouldn\u2019t have.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte pushed open the door to a shared ward in the inpatient area. Her mother and younger brother were squeezed together on a narrow hospital bed in the corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlotte,\u201d Christopher Xander said as soon as he saw her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte immediately raised a finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their mother was asleep. She didn\u2019t want to wake her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After unpacking the daily necessities she\u2019d brought, Charlotte quietly led Christopher outside the ward and handed him a thick wad of cash for living expenses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her family had always struggled. When Charlotte had just started college, her mother was diagnosed with cancer and lost the ability to work. Her brother, Christopher, had been only twelve at the time and was sent to board at school.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So, even though Charlotte had been accepted into graduate school with excellent grades, she chose to enter the workforce immediately after graduation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fortunately, fate had been kind to her. Early in her career, she\u2019d worked under Khloe, earning a decent salary at the Fox Group. After moving to the Morrison Group, money was even less of a concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Still, her mother\u2019s medical bills were a bottomless pit, and the pressure never truly eased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Christopher was returning to school the next day. After carefully reminding him of everything he needed to watch out for, Charlotte went back into the ward to check on her mother.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time she finally left the hospital, the streetlights along the road had already gone dark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCharlotte!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A low, icy male voice suddenly called out to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned around-and saw her father standing behind her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Almost by instinct, she broke into a run. But the man chased after her like a madman, caught up in seconds, and\u00a0<\/p>\n

slapped her hard across the face. He seized her by the throat and slammed her against the wall at the corner of the street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard you\u2019ve been making good money lately,\u201d her father snarled, the stench of alcohol and cigarettes rushing straight into her face. \u201cGive me five thousand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte frowned desperately and shook her head. \u201cI don\u2019t have it. The money all went to Mom\u2019s treatment, and Christopher still has school-where would I get five thousand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you have it!\u201d he roared. \u201cYou just won\u2019t give it to me, is that it? I\u2019m your father. If you refuse, that\u2019s unfilial. I can kill you, you know that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes were bloodshot, his voice low and vicious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Charlotte knew he wasn\u2019t joking. She secretly reached behind her back, fumbling for her phone, trying to call the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her parents had divorced when she was very young-because her father drank, gambled, and racked up massive debts, eventually ruining her mother\u2019s health as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Over the years, her father had become a full-fledged desperado. When he had money, he gambled. When he didn\u2019t, he did whatever it took to get some. He was already a regular at the police station.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not long ago, Charlotte had even heard that he\u2019d seriously injured someone and was currently on the run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing with your hand?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Noticing her movement, her father flew into a rage. He twisted her arm hard and flung her phone away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he pulled out a small knife and pressed it against her cheek. \u201cThis pretty face of yours came from me. Believe it or not, I can ruin it right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cW-w\u2026\u201d Charlotte broke down in tears, terrified. She could only beg, her voice shaking. \u201cDad, please don\u2019t\u2026 I really don\u2019t have any money right now\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
