Chapter 523
Not long after, Charmine’s phone lit up. (William: Ok, I understand. I know what to do.) Charmine kept her phone. William truly was a gentleman; he would not want to cause her any trouble.
In another corner of the world, William was sitting on the sofa in his white shirt and thin framed glasses. He had a pair of sky-blue eyes with a clean outlook, much like a prince with a white horse in fairytale books. He exuded an air of a sumptuous and one-of-a-kind prince like temperament. Despite that, his gentle face appeared rather crestfallen as he held his phone. Ring! Ring! His phone rang. William answered the call and was greeted with Uncle Zul’s enthusiastic voice. “William, William, good news! I’ve good news for you! Charmine and Anthony are having a rift, and she’s alone now. This is your chance!” “Hmm? What?” William frowned slightly, though his eyes lit up. Uncle Zul continued, “Anthony’s first love came back, and he and Charmine might as well be having a break-up now. This is your chance! Hurry and find time to visit Burlington right away, spend some time with her!” William was initially filled with hope at that news, but it was only seconds later that his sparkling eyes became dull again. “Thank you for telling me, Uncle Zul, but I can’t go to Burlington.” “Huh? Why so? Don’t you like Charmine very much? Why can’t you come to Burlington? Is your work as important as Charmine?” Uncle Zul was agitated.
William replied, “It’s not because of work. Charmine sent me a text earlier-she doesn’t want me to cause her any more trouble. There are things a man shouldn’t do at certain times,
especially in a situation when she’s more vulnerable. I do like Charmine, but I’ll find her when she’s settled down, not when she’s still fixing her relationship.” 1
His words were gentle and caring. That only pushed Uncle Zul to be more agitated. “What are you talking about? Have you gone dumb from all that researching? If you don’t take the initiative, how’s anything going to happen at all? You won’t get a chance if you keep doing this! Also, now is the time she needs company. How’s this not the right time?” 1
“Uncle Zul, I understand what you mean, but I don’t want to be another burden to her, causing her more problems. Don’t worry, I’ll use my way to accompany her silently.”
With that, William hung up.

Uncle Zul was frustrated and panicky. His way? Nothing-that was William’s way! He had a crush on her for a few years but took no action on it!
How frustrating! Could William not be a little more assertive or something?! William’s eyes dulled as his eyes scanned Charmine’s WhatsApp message once more. Why would he not want to be with her? Still, he understood what Charmine meant-she did not like him being so clingy. If he could not win her heart, William would not want her to hate him… ?
Back in the bamboo forest… Charmine was sitting on a wooden chair as Dr. Weir walked over with a few packets of medicine. There were fifty packets in total, and he handed them all to Charmine. “I’ve put remarks and instructions on each of these medications on top. Just feed them to your brother every day accordingly.” “Alright. Thank you, Uncle,” Charmine snapped out of her thoughts and thanked him politely. Seeing the dazed Charmine, Dr. Weir caringly asked, “Charmine, is there something upsetting
you?”
“Huh? No, it’s nothing,” answered Charmine in a calm face. She did not like to show her emotions to others. Dr. Weir smiled. “Look at you. You’re trying to hide things from a doctor like myself? You seem to have things on your mind. Oh, yes, I remember something! Wait for me.” Instantly, Dr. Weir ran inside his house.
