Chapter 327
Charlotte stood outside the door for a moment, then pushed it open and went in.
Jaxson sat leaning against the head of the bed, shirtless with just a jacket covering him, his waist and abdomen wrapped in white gauze.
He, who has always been full of spirit, now has a heavy sense of fatigue between his eyebrows. His gaze falls on Charlotte’s face, his voice hoarse, “I thought you wouldn’t come to see me.”
Charlotte stood at the foot of the bed, “As long as you’re alive, it’s all good.”
“Do you want me to die?”
“I kind of miss it.”
He chuckled, “I died, aren’t you sad?”
Charlotte was silent for half a second, then smiled, “No way, even if you die right now, I won’t shed a single tear.”
Jaxson stared at her, trying to find a trace of reluctance, affection on her face, like he used to do in the past.
But no.
His jaw twitched, his chest rising and falling with deep breaths, “Do you hate me?”
Charlotte looked at him calmly and said, “I don’t hate you. Do you think I still love you?”
He lit a cigarette with a lighter, didn’t care if it was a non–smoking area, took a couple of puffs, coughed a bit, seemed to be
choked.
He winced when he coughed and pulled at the wound.
Seeing Charlotte still motionless, he suddenly laughed, “I can tell you hate me, do you want a divorce?”
When divorce was mentioned, Charlotte blinked.
The man leaned against the head of the bed, blowing smoke rings, his deep gaze piercing through the mist, his smile fading. “But I, Jaxson, am only a widower, not divorced. As long as I’m alive, this marriage won’t end.”
