“What should we do, then?”
Ellie panicked as she gazed at Zachary tearfully.
“Ellie…” Zachary hugged Ellie and comforted her gently, “Follow Mommy first. After you’re done with your treatment, I’ll pick you up!”
“You can let Dr. Felch treat Ellie first. I’ll just continue with my treatment afterward.”
When Charlotte saw how reluctant Ellie was to leave Zachary’s side, she felt a bit upset.
“Dr. Felch said that your treatment must not be interrupted,” said Zachary seriously. “This is not up for negotiation!”
Charlotte was stunned upon hearing that. An indescribable emotion surged through her…
“When I asked Dr. Felch earlier, he said that the treatment needs to last for three months. A month has passed, so there are two months remaining.” Zachary counted the days. “After two months, I’ll go to Erihal to fetch Ellie.”
“Are you okay with that, Ellie?” Charlotte asked her.
“Yes.” Ellie nodded. “It’s more important that you receive your treatment, so I’ll accompany you!”
“Good girl!” Charlotte was touched.
“That’s settled, then,” announced Zachary. “We must keep our promises!”
“I know.” Although Charlotte felt reluctant to accept it, she had no choice but to respect the children’s decisions.
At that moment, the car stopped outside Serene Hospital.
Outside, Ben announced softly, “Mr. Nacht’s here!”
Zachary and Charlotte alighted the car with the kids.
They walked into the hospital, looking like a perfect family.
All the passers-by could not help but stop in their tracks and look at them.
The subordinates split into two neat rows, creating a path for them to walk.
Ben and Marino followed behind closely.
Marino asked softly, “They’re such a compatible family, so why must they split up?”
“It’s such a pity!” Ben could not help but exclaim. “If it weren’t for those complex relationships and resentment intertwining them, they would probably be the happiest family in the world.”
The family arrived at the special wards in the hospital.
Half an hour ago, Henry had been moved from the emergency room to a special ward.
Raina was waiting at the lift entrance anxiously. When the lift doors opened, she quickly welcomed them. “Mr. Zachary, Mr. Nacht is on the brink of death!”
“Great-grandpa…” Ellie was so scared that she wanted to cry.
“Don’t cry, Ellie. You’ll scare Great-grandpa!” Charlotte comforted her softly. “We must send him off nicely and let him go to heaven in peace!”
“Yeah.” Ellie quickly wiped her tears away.
Robbie and Jamie were also taking deep breaths to calm themselves down.
Feeling grateful, Zachary said sincerely, “Thank you.”
“I’m doing this for the kids.” Charlotte did not even want to spare a glance at him.
Naturally, Zachary knew that she was doing it for the kids. After all, this memory would be imprinted in their minds forever. Perhaps, even after they become adults, they would still remember this scene.
Hence, no matter how much Charlotte hated Henry, she would place her grudges aside and guide the children with kind intention.
Even that was very tough to ask of her.
Carrying the kids, Zachary was prepared to head into the adjacent room to change into the isolation gowns.
However, Raina said tearfully, “There’s no need to change your clothes, Mr. Zachary. Just go in directly!”
This meant that Henry was so critically ill that there was no chance of survival.
Frowning, Zachary entered while holding Robbie and Jamie’s hands.
“Wait!” Charlotte passed Ellie to him. “I’ll wait for you outside.”
“Let’s go in together. Grandpa wants to meet you.” Zachary looked at her in anticipation.
“Do you think that’s possible?”
Charlotte glared at him coldly. She was willing to place her grudges aside for the kids, but it was impossible for her to meet Henry.
“Okay, then…”
Unable to force her, Zachary had no choice but to enter with Ellie, Jamie and Robbie.
“Just hang in there for a while longer, Mr. Henry. Mr. Zachary and the kids will be here soon!” coaxed Spencer through tears as he held Henry’s hand.
