Bride of Retribution: Aloof Billionaire's Dominant Game

The car didn’t drive very fast. Charlotte’s little face was a bit pale with anxiety because not only had the hospital room been changed, but even the medication was stopped today.

Luna’s health is not just a minor problem. She needs continued treatment, and if it’s interrupted now, it will surely have a significant impact.

From inside the car, Charlotte quietly looked out the window. From just now until she left the apartment, she had never been so angry with Atlas Hallow. She always thought Atlas had changed a lot, at least he treated her well, and had slowly begun to respect her, even genuinely liking her.

She always thought maybe they could continue to walk this path slowly together, after all, she had begun to like him too.

The man she married is mature, wise, handsome, and charming — extremely attractive. But only now does she realize there’s still a significant gap between their thoughts. He couldn’t understand the life she wants, and she couldn’t comply with him to become the traditional ”virtuous wife and good mother” in the U.S.A.

Today she discovered that no matter how good or considerate Atlas Hallow is to her, there are still limits. His limit is that she must follow his words.

No resistance, no world of her own — but who wants to rely on a man for a lifetime? Anyway, she doesn’t want that.

Ethan was right; she is like a bird that loves to fly, with every feather filled with the sunlight of freedom. Yet Atlas Hallow has built her a cage, although it’s a huge one made of gold, it cannot touch the color of the sky.

”Speed up...” Charlotte was very irritated, urging the driver to drive faster.

The hospital was busy, and Charlotte walked quickly, almost bumping into the flow of people coming and going. The driver, who also worked as a bodyguard, was even more hurried, walking while opening his arms to shield her from the oncoming crowd.

”Ma’am, slow down...” The driver, sweating anxiously, fearing any mistakes, was unable to explain to Atlas Hallow.

After all, now there is Eldest Young Master Hallow’s offspring in the lady’s belly. If anything happens, it wouldn’t be a joke.

Charlotte was in a daze, not really listening to anything, only thinking that life cannot be amended and started over.

She didn’t know so much would happen afterward, and she didn’t know what kind of man Atlas Hallow was. However, she’s already married to him, and perhaps this is how her life will proceed, and Luna has already walked a wrong path she cannot fix, what about after?

Approaching the hospital room where Luna was staying, Charlotte felt nauseous when she pushed the door open—the smell was really too bad. No wonder Luna couldn’t stay and got so angry.

Charlotte wasn’t usually picky about her living environment, but this was indeed too filthy, messy, and poor; they had to change back to the original hospital room immediately.

At this moment, a few nurses accompanied by a doctor came in for rounds. Charlotte quickly pulled a nurse aside, speaking in a low voice: ”Excuse me, what procedures do we need to go back to yesterday’s nursing ward? Where can we pay?”

Charlotte’s heart was somewhat calm at this moment. Even without using the bank card given by Atlas Hallow, she had enough money to pay herself.

The nurse looked up at Charlotte, seeming to think the beautiful lady in front of her was from outer space.

”Young lady, don’t you know those hospital rooms are for high-ranking officials? How could they be arranged at will? Money doesn’t solve it, you know?” The nurse shrugged. ”Even with all the money, you can’t get into those rooms, as several special care rooms in the hospital are always empty. But nobody can go in unless specifically instructed by the dean or higher-level leaders sometimes.”

Isn’t it said that money can make the devil turn millstones? She thought those rooms were just expensive but never imagined that you can’t live there even by spending more.

Charlotte’s head buzzed painfully; she wasn’t very familiar with the hospital situation. Before coming in, all her confidence was overturned by this simple answer. She realized that even with enough money in her bank card, it wasn’t possible to get Luna a better hospital room now.

”Luna, there’s no way to change the room here. Let’s go to a private hospital; you can have a few days of peaceful rest,” Charlotte said softly by Luna’s bedside.
