Chapter 689
Mrs. Chancer anxiously watched Charlotte lying unconscious on the bed, barely hearing anything the hospital
director was saying.
James had regained his composure after learning that Charlotte was currently stable. He politely responded to
the director, "Thank you. Please don't let us keep you from your duties."
After speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper.
The housekeeper instinctively stepped forward and extended his right hand courteously. "Director, please, let me
escort you back."
Mrs. Chancer sat on the stool that James had pulled over, staring at Charlotte's pale face with lingering fear,
unable to look away for a long time.
It wasn't that she truly cared for Charlotte; she was simply afraid of losing her chance to hold her first
grandchild.
James placed his hand on her shoulder and gently urged, "Mom, you've had a shock. Charlotte is fine now. Why
don't you go hand rest?"
Mrs. Chancer was still somewhat angry with him. "I'm not leaving. What if you leave the moment I'm gone, and
my grandchild falls into danger again?"
"Mom, the baby in Charlotte's womb is also my son. | wouldn't be as heartless as you suggest," James said, his
tone slightly firmer.

"Really?" Mrs. Chancer looked at his serious expression and reluctantly believed him a little.
James quickly helped her up. "Please trust me."
Only then did Mrs. Chancer agree to leave. However, at the doorway, she turned back, still concerned, and spoke
softly, "Son, | can see that you don't care much for Charlotte right now, but the child is innocent, understand?"
James nodded. "I know, Mom. Don't worry. I'm not so unreasonable that | don't understand that much."
After Mrs. Chancer left, James turned to look at Charlotte, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Today was destined to be a chaotic day, and the Reynolds household was also in turmoil.
"Stay away! Don't cnear me! You're bad people, all of you!" Mia huddled in the corner, her pretty face
covered in tears, her eyes filled with terror.
"Sweet child, don't be afraid. I'm here to help you. | won't hurt you." The kind- faced middle-aged woman
stopped in her tracks, keeping her gentle voice as soft as possible, afraid of frightening the girl.
"No! No! Get away!" Mia shook her head vigorously, refusing to listen to anything. Suddenly, she grabbed a vase
from beside her and threw it forcefully to the floor.
"Crash!" With a violent noise, the vase shattered into pieces.
Even with her strong psychological training, the middle-aged woman was startled. She couldn't help but cry out
and step back repeatedly.
Zachary pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the chaotic scene, he frowned deeply and scolded harshly,
"Mia, what are you doing? Apologize to Dr. Tanner immediately."
Mia lowered her head, her hands nervously twisting together.
She knew she had gone too far, but if

Dr. Tanner stood up and stepped back cautiously until she reached a safe distance. Only then did she let out a
heavy sigh.
"Mr. Reynolds, may | have a word with you?"
Zachary nodded, opened the door, and walked outside with Dr. Tanner.
"How is my sister's condition?" Zachary asked first.
