He handedthe box and said indifferently. "Take a look."
It was scream to help with the bruise.
When | saw the large words on the box, | wanted to find a hole to hide in. I hurriedly stood up. "Just givethe
medicine. I'll apply it myself after | take a shower."
If it weren't for him, | would have forgotten | had just fallen.
“Alright.”
He smiled with a hint of mischief, his lips curved. "I've already had the waiter bring Jane up. If you can't reach
the area yourself, you can ask her for help."
From the start, he had considered that the place | fell was quite private.
Maybe | had overthought his intentions.
The more | thought about it, the angrier and more embarrassed | became. | shoved him out of the room

and slammed the door shut.
He held the door open with one hand and suddenly, as he did last night, pinched my face. His voice was
charming. "Charlotte, Happy New Year."
As he spoke, the sounds of fireworks outside echoed, adding to the festive atmosphere. The brilliant fireworks
illuminated the entire French window, making him appear even more unrestrained. "And don't you dare run away
again," he added.
Ryan made many empty promises, but when it cto Frank's harsh words, he acted quickly.
Before the New Year was over, the Frost Group aggressively took over several of the Smith family's projects.
The Smith family, not willing to be outdone, was the first to release an electronic product with technology that
the Frost Group Group had planned for their flagship release in the first quarter of the year. They had done a lot
of promotion, but in the end, they not only lost out but suffered severe financial losses.
Jane happened to have sclients in Jeswood and planned to discuss cooperation after the New Year.
So, we decided to stay and enjoy the holiday.
One day, Jane was reading the news online and seemed puzzled: "Do you think Frank will really continue to fight
with Ryan over you?"
"I don't know." | shrugged.
After that night, my contact with Frank had been minimal.
We hadn't even spoken on the phone. He would only occasionally send a message to ask what | was doing.

| wasn't sure if he was doing it for me.
Past experiences seemed to have madelose all confidence in relationships.

Jane was scrolling through her phone and suddenly sat up straight. "Did you hear?"
| was puzzled. "Hear what?"
"The paternity test results for the Shaw family are out."
She handed her phone to me, looking a bit worried. "It's indeed the eldest daughter of the Shaw family."

At least, Madam Shaw could finally feel at ease.
She had been eagerly awaiting the return of Lily, and even | could feel her anticipation.
"So what about you and Frank? Do you really believe he will annul the engagement?"
"Whether | believe it or not isn't important."
| smiled lightly, stood up to put away the drawing board, and walked to the window to stretch my shoulders and
neck. "What matters is what he does. I'm not a lovesick girl who can be kept hanging all the time."
"Don't you like him a little?" asked Jane.
| corrected her. "Let's call it a fondness for now."
Later, | suddenly received a call from Madam Shaw.
Even through the phone, | could sense her joy. "Charlotte, you're simply a blessing for our Shaw family! After
searching for so many years and not finding Lily, we were able to find her not long after you appeared."
| smiled. "I haven't even had a chance to congratulate you. I'm glad you finally found Miss Shaw."
"Oh, it's all thanks to you!" Madam Shaw continued, "But that girl has probably been through a lot outside. She's
always so timid. I... | want to care for her, but I'm afraid of scaring her."
