Chapter 414 414: Her gaze was dark
"She wants to see me? What does she mean by that?" Sam asked.
Mia responded over the phone, "I don't know exactly what she means, but she said she wants to thank you in person. She's still in the hospital, undergoing therapy, so she can't move around freely yet. She asked me to bring you over to see her."
Sam thought for a moment.
In that dream, what he did to Charlotte couldn't be described as gentle.
He practically barged in with a knife.
So her saying she genuinely wants to thank him... Sam was skeptical. It was more likely she wanted to give him a hard time, right?
After all, to convince her to wake up, Sam had said some pretty harsh things.
He didn't hold back at all.
"Is that all?"
"What else?"
"Nothing, I just thought she might blame me."
Mia replied, slightly annoyed, "Blame you for what... I know Charlotte. She's a kind and gentle girl. Although she seemed out of control in the dream, her true self is very sweet and lovely. Don't worry."
No matter how much he thought about it, without seeing her, Sam couldn't get a clear answer.
Moreover, Mia kept urging him.
"Is it okay? If so, I'll ride my motorbike over."
After some consideration, Sam finally agreed to her invitation.
"Alright, come over."
He was curious about how Charlotte viewed the events in the dream after waking up. He thought about his sister, Ava. The lie detector test results showed that Ava had lied to him.
Ava remembered what happened in the dream.
What kind of impact would the dream have on Ava? Would the 'Ava' he saw affect the real Ava negatively? These were questions that needed answers. And Charlotte might be a good reference point.
About half an hour later, Mia arrived downstairs.
The weather was nice today. Sam, wearing a long coat, didn't feel the cold wind as he went downstairs.
No wonder the woman riding the motorbike over was smiling at him.
"You're so slow. I don't even take this long to put on makeup!"
Mia, holding a helmet, complained as soon as she saw Sam.
Sam chuckled. "You asked me to come with you, but you don't want to wait. How does that work? Besides, it only took me five minutes to change. Did it really take longer than your makeup?"
"Stop talking and get on. If we're any later, it'll be dark."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Because you were slow."
"Men shouldn't be too fast, you know."
"Pfft!"
The young woman, her cheeks slightly flushed, put on her helmet.
Sam also put on his helmet and sat behind her.
Although Sam could ride a bike himself, he had no interest in driving at the moment. Having a woman in front to block the wind was quite nice, wasn't it?
Sitting in the back seat, Sam felt very comfortable.
He could even hold Mia's soft waist a bit. Wasn't that pleasant?
They soon arrived at the hospital.
"If she woke up and wants to see me, it means she clearly remembers the dream, right?" Sam asked as they walked.
Mia nodded. "Yes, she even remembers what we said and did in the dream."
"How did you explain this phenomenon? Did you tell her it's your superpower?"
Such things couldn't be explained with normal reasons. Mia sighed slightly.
"It was the only way. Given the situation, I had to tell her it was my ability. Fortunately, she understood and wasn't too shocked."
"Aren't you worried she'll leak this information? In this world, having superpowers isn't a good thing. It only brings trouble."
Mia glared at Sam.
"Do you want me to be taken by some re
"It's nothing. The important thing is that you're awake. Everything else doesn't matter."
Looking at the unusually shy and pure girl, Sam smiled.
"Seeing you like this makes everything worth it. How's your health?"
Charlotte didn't expect Sam to say that, and her pale cheeks turned even redder, her ears seemingly blushing too.
"Mm, mm, it's... it's okay. The doctor said I might be able to consider discharge in about a week... Thank you again."
Mia sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Charlotte's shoulders.
"No need to thank us. Your job now is to recover and return to normal life. Don't overthink anything else. If you have any difficulties, you can still come to us."
Charlotte looked gratefully at the young woman beside her.
Her eyes even seemed to glisten with tears.
"I was too willful before... I caused you so much trouble, I..."
Mia gently patted her back.
Her eyes softened.
"It's nothing. If anyone should apologize, it's me. If I hadn't been working late, you wouldn't have had that accident..."
But before Mia could finish, her phone rang.
She took out her phone.
"I need to take this call."
Charlotte nodded.
Mia answered the call and frowned.
"Really? My bike isn't parked properly? But it's a motorcycle... Ah, okay, I'll come down and move it. Just a moment."
Mia hung up and looked at the two of them.
"I need to move my bike. You two chat. I'll be right back."
"Okay... take your time."
Mia stood up, hesitated as she passed Sam, then whispered.
"Talk to her nicely. Remember... don't be a womanizer."
Sam found it both amusing and exasperating.
He didn't mind the lack of trust.
As Mia left. Sam looked around, then pulled up a chair and sat down.
Charlotte sat on the bed, seemingly unsure of what to say.
Sam thought about finding a topic to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.
But before he could, he heard a voice, completely different from the shy and timid tone before.
"Sam... you said some pretty harsh things to me, didn't you?"
Sam looked up.
The girl on the bed, who had seemed timid and shy, now showed no blush or shyness.
Instead, she appeared strangely calm.
She even stared directly at him.
Her gaze... was dark.
