Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 To See Your Father 

Nelson chuckled, "Then I will tell you a story." 

Charlotte liked listening to stories very much and immediately sat upright. "Go ahead." 

Nelson recalled for a moment and said, "When I was about your age, I performed a mission. I won't tell you the details, because you'll be scared. In order to complete the mission, we slept in the pile of dead for three nights. I remember that the body next to me had already begun to decay, and there were flies and worms everywhere, as well as beasts attracted by the smell of blood, but we still had to conceal. After the task, a young man in the team felt so sick that he couldn't eat anything for half a month and only lived on salt water and glucose." 

Nelson told the story briefly. In fact, the real situation was much worse. But he thought what he said was enough for Charlotte. 

Sure enough, Charlotte frowned. "Are there all dead people around?" 

Nelson said lightly, "Yes, they died pretty miserably." 

Charlotte immediately covered her mouth. "You guys are so awesome!" 

Nelson smiled slightly, looking at her. "Do you feel better?" 

Charlotte whispered, "Yes." 

Nelson put down the pen in his hand on the desk with a clatter and then said with a smile on his face, "It evokes my sadness because of you. How are you going to comfort me?" 

Charlotte didn't expect that there would be such a self-injury comfort method in this world. She thought for a long time and said, "Then, I'll make a video call to you when I cry tomorrow, showing you my embarrassed look. But the network signal here is poor..." 

Nelson used his own sadness to comfort Charlotte. She thought she couldn't be so mean since he was so generous, so she was willing to show him her embarrassed look. 

Nelson asked, "Have you forgotten what I told you?" 

Charlotte asked in confusion, "What?" 

"Don't let me see you cry." Nelson's voice was very deep and husky, like mellow red wine that had been shelved for many years, intoxicating. "Unless in..." 

Charlotte hurriedly stopped Nelson, her cheeks flushed. "Stop... Stop it!" 

Nelson chuckled, "You really have a short memory." 

Charlotte covered her face and said, "But... But I will definitely cry when I am sad. Tomorrow I will watch so many bodies being burned..." 

Nelson said in a husky voice, "Then don't go." 

Charlotte paused and said softly, "I have to go and watch. Only in this way can I know the value of life and work harder to save more people." 

Nelson did not speak for a while. 

He often felt that Charlotte and himself were like two opposite extremes. Charlotte was like the sun. When she smiled, her eyes were sparkling, as if full of bright stars, and her smile was gentle and warm. On the contrary, he was deep in darkness, sinking into the abyss of sin, his eyes full of murk and indifference. 

Charlotte was so clean, so pure that the monster who had never felt the sunshine and was born with the darkness had a desire to destroy her, as well as wanted to pull her into hell and sink together in spite of everything. 

"Sir?" Charlotte tilted her head, her voice soft. "Are you in a daze?" 

Nelson came to his senses and said, "Have you figured out a way to comfort me?" 

Charlotte said, "When I was a kid, if I was sad, my mother would kiss, hug, and lift me high, but I can't lift you high." 

"Then kiss..." 

Charlotte thought for a while and kissed on the phone screen. "That's it." 

Nelson brazenly continued slowly, "Then you owe me a kiss and a hug. You can kiss and hug me when you come back." 

The little girl was only three years old. She was very beautiful and not afraid of strangers. When she saw Charlotte and Nicholas, she greeted them effusively. 

Charlotte took out a piece of candy from her pocket, gave it to the girl, and touched her head. "Did you still feel uncomfortable last night?" 

The greatest pain caused by Virus-7602 was that the whole body seemed to be burned by fire. According to existing cases, the human body temperature of people infected with Virus-7602 could reach 140°CF, and they would be very miserable. 

This little girl named Everly had been infected for some time. When Charlotte measured her temperature yesterday, it was 104°CF. Charlotte guessed that the girl must have had a hard time last night. 

But Everly said, "I wasn't uncomfortable, because my mother was with me." 

Everly's mother smiled at Charlotte. 

Everly's whole family was infected with Virus-7602. Her father passed away the night before yesterday. He was one of the bodies to be cremated today. However, because of the infection, Everly and her mother couldn't even go to see him for the last time. 

Charlotte praised Everly as a good girl and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Everly. The doctors will definitely figure out a way to treat you guys soon." 

Everly nodded. 

Outside, Victoria shouted, "Charlotte! What are you doing? Hurry out to work!" 

Charlotte said goodbye to Everly and went out with Nicholas. 

Everly looked at Charlotte's figure and whispered to her mother, "Mom, actually, I know she was lying to me. In the end, I will die like Dad, right?" 

The young mother caressed her dearest daughter's head with tears, but couldn't say anything. 

Everly comforted her mother, "Mom, don't cry. I'm not afraid. I will always be with you." 

"With you, I'm also not afraid." Everly's mother held Everly in her arms and murmured, "It won't be long... We will be able to see your father..."
