The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1119

“Hard?”

When Dr. David asked, Charlotte leaned on the table, a playful smile curving on her lips. Her eyes sparkled with mischief.

“I grew up with no parents, no one to care about me. Newell came along and dumped me at the Amazon Special Forces Training School. I went through hell there, but honestly, it never really felt that hard.”

Dr. David swallowed, his chest tight with worry for her.

He remembered what she’d been through—fifteen years old, tossed into the depths of the jungle, pushed through brutal training, forced to fight the worst kind of people. He could only imagine the price she paid just to survive and make it out.

“And now? I have parents, friends, even Anthony...”

Charlotte’s fingers brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear. She gave Dr. David’s shoulder a gentle pat. “I’m actually pretty happy now.”

Dr. David started to speak, but nothing came out.

Charlotte was the type to only ever share the good, never the bad. She always carried her pain alone.

But he could see it—she really was happier now that she had people who cared about her.

“Then keep being happy.”

He ruffled her hair, his tone soft, eyes full of affection.

He’d devoted his whole life to medicine, never married. On paper, Charlotte was just his investor and research consultant. In reality, she was the daughter he never had.

He would never let her die from some genetic mutation after everything she’d been through. Even the smallest frown from her was enough to keep him up at night.

He’d find the cure, whatever it took. Even if it meant risking everything, he wouldn’t let anything happen to her.
