Chapter 2824
After the police officers left, charity stood rooted to the ground for a while.
Larissa, who was at the side, mumbled, “Oh, those poor victims. They’re innocent. But if it hadn’t been for Mr.
Jewell, you would...”
She then sighed at the end of the sentence.
Charity darted a glance at Catherine. “After the police leave, can you please ask Shaun about it?”
“You don’t have to say ‘please’. We’re good friends.”
When Catherine headed upstairs, Shaun was talking to the police and traffic officers as an attorney.
However, she did not bother Shaun. Only after the officers left did she ask, “Is the issue very troublesome?”
“Chester’s driving license has been suspended, which isn’t a major issue. He can’t drive in his current condition

anyway. I was the one who decided for him to pay more compensation to the victims in the accident.”
Shaun bit his tongue before he continued, “Not only charity’s life matters, but the ordinary people’s lives do too. By
saying this, I hope you can-”
“I understand, and you’re right.” Catherine held his finger. “ Hubby, if I happen to be in a dangerous situation like
that one day, don’t come and save me. I don’t want to drag other people into the mess for my sake.”
“Don’t be silly.” Shaun hugged her gently. “Humans are selfish. If I were in that situation, I might’ve done that too.”
After that, they let Charity and Chester nurse their health in the hospital separately.
For the last few days, Max had been going to the hospital to keep Charity company for several hours.
Mrs. Langston also came with her son since she came to Canberra with Larissa by rail.
Looking at how her son was asking Eliza about her condition, Mrs. Langston had mixed feelings.
In her son's car on the way back from the hospital, Mrs. Langston asked, “what’s going on between Eliza and
Chester? I saw the news about Chester forcing himself on her a while back, why did he risk his life to save her this

time?”
“He probably... likes her,” Max said without revealing too much.
Mrs. Langston cast a deep look at her son. “Be honest with me. Are you interested in Eliza?”
Max’s lips parted, and he hesitated for a few seconds before answering, “Yes, I am-”
“Didn’t you say back then that you treat Eliza as your sister?” Mrs. Langston interrupted him in agitation.
“When Eliza was at
university, I even deliberately brought it up with you. At that time, both our families were happy for you two
to get together, yet you said you weren’t interested in her.”
“I wasn’t sure about the relationship at that time.” Max could not possibly say that he was interested in her
only because Eliza’s soul had been switched with Charity’s.

“According to the news on the internet, Eliza has slept with Monte and Chester before. I don’t approve of you
being with her.” Mrs. Langston said firmly, “You can treat her as your sister, but if you want to get into a
relationship with her and marry her, your dad and I won’t approve of it.”
Max instantly turned glum, “she didn’t even agree to get into a relationship with me. Mom, you’ve gone too
far by saying that.”
“I’ve watched Eliza grow up, and I like her too, but what's the entertainment industry like? I heard it’s very
messy. If you hadn’t been in this career and were simply in the business industry, marrying her wouldn’t be
an issue. However, you’ll be assigned to lead the military one day, and the prime minister thinks highly of
you. Her awful reputation will ruin your future.”
Mrs. Langston said earnestly, “Over the last two days I’ve stayed over, a few people from the government
department have come to matchmake you. If you choose a girl with a good background to marry, you’ll have
a father-in-law to back you and a bright future ahead. You might even become the leader of the military one
day.” 1
