Marino didn’t dare to speed up because Ellie was ill. So they were late by three minutes.
Lupine waited at the entrance to the courtyard with dozens of female bodyguards, all armed with guns and looking vicious.
“What a fierce bunch of women.” Bruce couldn’t help but feel impressed.
“Don’t mess with them. They’re quite touchy,” Marino silently warned.
As soon as he spoke, an eagle’s cry was heard, and Fifi jumped out of the car window and landed on the back of Charlotte’s hands.
“Mommy!” Jamie stuck his head out of the car window, waving excitedly at Charlotte.
“Jamie!” Charlotte immediately welcomed him.
Bruce helped Robbie and Jamie out of the car as soon as the car stopped, and Jamie leaped into Charlotte’s arms, tightly hugging her by the neck all choked up, and said, “Mommy, I thought it would take forever for me to see you again. I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”
“Are you happy to see Mommy?” Charlotte asked while holding his tiny face.
“Yes!” Jamie nodded repeatedly.
“That’s great.” Charlotte kissed his chubby cheek.
“Mommy!” Robbie ran over and wanted to hug his mom and let his mom kiss him, but his cold personality stopped him from doing so. Thus, he only watched from a distance.
“Robbie.” Charlotte hugged him and kissed him on the forehead. “Mommy told you, we will meet again very soon, right?”
“Yeah.” Robbie blushed and nodded, then hugged Charlotte’s neck and said, “Mommy, I hope we will always be together.”
“We will. Mommy will never leave you again.” Charlotte patted Robbie’s back. “Good boy!”
“Mommy…” Ellie whispered in a hoarse voice and extended her thin arms toward Charlotte.
Charlotte quickly rushed over to Ellie and hugged her. After suffering from the poison, Ellie had lost a lot of weight and still couldn’t walk. She had to either lay in bed or sit in a wheelchair every single day, and she had no energy to speak.
Looking at her, Charlotte was devastated.
“Ellie, I will get Dr. Felch. He will definitely fix you up.” Charlotte gently stroked Ellie’s hair. “Once you recover, Mommy will take you to Disneyland.”
“Okay. Thanks, Mommy.” Ellie buried her face in Charlotte’s arms like a baby.
“Good girl! Mommy will carry you into the house.”
Charlotte picked up Ellie and walked into the house. She spoke to the kids without looking at Zachary. “Robbie, Jamie, Ellie. Mommy will take you to Dr. Felch. He’s a good friend of Grandpa and also an outstanding doctor. Remember to behave yourselves, understood?”
“Understood!”
Zachary looked at Charlotte from the back, feeling lost. He used to be high and mighty in front of her, and now it’s the other way around…
This must be retribution!
“Mr. Zachary, we’re being ignored. Should we go in?” Bruce asked silently.
“Nonsense.” Zachary glared at him and walked into the house.
Lupine’s group didn’t stop them but didn’t greet them either.
Zachary shamelessly sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.
Bruce and Marino stood behind him, awkwardly rubbing their noses, feeling uncomfortable.
“Marino!” Suddenly, a familiar voice was heard.
Marino turned around and responded. “Why are you here? Aren’t you at the hospital?”
“Ms. Lindberg said that I will recover faster if Dr. Felch treats me. So she sent someone to pick me up,” said Morgan with a smile.
“Ms. Lindberg is so kind to you.”
“Of course she is. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so loyal to her.” When Morgan mentioned Charlotte’s name, her face was brimming with admiration. She glanced at Zachary and asked softly, “You sent the children back, right? Why is nobody attending to you?”
“Oh, don’t mention it.” Marino didn’t want to say more.
