The Mocked Miss’s Hidden Crowns novel Chapter 1105

Charlotte woke up still half-asleep, her mind foggy as she tried to process Anthony’s words. She blinked, looking lost.

“Your dad made you breakfast.” Anthony spoke gently, brushing a strand of hair from her forehead and tucking it behind her ear. His fingers lingered on her cheek, soft and comforting. “Eat a little, then you can go back to sleep, okay?”

“Mmm.” She gave a lazy little hum, pressing her cheek against his chest and saying nothing more.

Anthony looked down and saw her eyes were already closed again. She looked like a sleepy kitten, clinging to him without a care in the world.

He couldn’t help but smile. With a resigned sigh, he scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom. After a quick wash, he brought her out to the living room.

Franco was just stepping out of the kitchen, holding a plate piled high with perfectly fried eggs. He caught sight of the two of them, who seemed to be treating him like he was invisible. He scowled, set the plate down a little harder than necessary, and stormed back into the kitchen. Grumbling to himself, he pulled out his phone and started texting Nora, clearly annoyed.

Anthony settled Charlotte into a chair, poured her a glass of warm milk, and peeled an egg for her. Once he was sure she had everything, he reached out and ruffled her hair. “Go ahead and eat. I’ll grab your medicine.”

He hadn’t meant to wake her, but the gene inhibitor had to be taken on time. He watched over her medicine schedule like a hawk, more careful than most parents with a toddler.

“Okay.” Charlotte picked up her milk, took a sip, and started scrolling through her phone while nibbling on a piece of bread. She opened her social media app and saw a new message from Dr. David.

[Dr. David: Lottie, are you out of the inhibitors?]

Charlotte paused, bread halfway to her mouth. Now that she thought about it, she probably was.

This wasn’t something she could skip, and she couldn’t just have the medicine shipped. She’d have to make it herself.

[Nine: I’ll take care of the antidote myself. How’s everything going at the lab?]

[Dr. David: We’ve found thirty thousand new possible compounds. We’re narrowing it down, one by one. I’m okay, you don’t have to worry about me.]
