Chapter 11 Bracelet
Charles arrived last, his presence immediately felt as he stepped into the room.
However, the emotions on his face were carefully concealed behind a mask of neutrality.
He was a master at hiding his true feelings, a skill he had perfected over the years.
Today, however, his mind was anything but at ease.
He had just returned from yet another doctor's appointment, where a series of awkward and invasive tests had once again yielded disappointing results.
It was a harsh blow to his pride, the kind of reality he could never seem to escape.
The doctors had tried everything, but nothing worked.
The truth was undeniable now: his masculinity was irreparably damaged.
His body had betrayed him in ways that were impossible to ignore, leaving him feeling as though his most vital function had been erased.
Despite the turmoil brewing inside him, Charles greeted everyone with a warm smile.
"Mia! Long time no see! It's great to have you here again. How's Jonathan?" His voice was steady, his charm ever-present as he attempted to mask the gnawing emptiness within.
