“Yes, please,” Charlotte said, nodding immediately.
Raina went in without further ado.
Although Raina might not be the best doctor out there, she was the most suitable candidate. She was familiar with Ellie’s condition.
She was a timely help.
“Do you guys mind leaving us alone?”
Dr. Felch sent out everyone else other than the medical staff.
Although Charlotte was distressed over Ellie’s condition, she went out just as Dr. Felch requested.
“Ms. Lindberg,” Morgan came over not long after they got out, “Olivia is in the ICU. She’s in a critical condition.”
“Save her at all costs. I want the best doctors to attend to her,” Charlotte said readily, “I want to see the medical superintendent.”
“The superintendent is already there. Dr. Langhan brought a few other doctors with her. I heard they are pretty good too.”
“Ask them to go over.”
“Right away.”
Both Ellie and Olivia were in the emergency rooms.
The wait was unnerving for Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg, Mr. Nacht and his men are waiting outside the hospital. Should we let them in? Mr. Lindberg’s men are keeping them out at the moment.”
“Let them in.”
Although Charlotte was still angry with Zachary, she did not want their fallout to affect their child.
“Sure.”
Within a couple of minutes, Zachary dashed in with his men. “How’s Ellie?”
“They’re trying to save her,” Charlotte said solemnly, “Dr. Felch and Raina are inside. They will take care of it. You can go back first.”
“How can I leave when Ellie’s condition is still unstable?” Zachary questioned, “I should at least know she’s fine first.”
“Whatever.”
Zachary ordered his men to prepare a few rooms in the hospital and told Charlotte, “You should go get a change. I bet you don’t want Ellie to see you full of blood when she wakes up.”
It was not until then that Charlotte realized she was soaked in rain water and blood.
The nurses had been avoiding her out of fear ever since she got into the hospital.
She looked like a disheveled serial killer on the loose.
“Lupine, keep watch over here.”
“Sure,” the bodyguard said.
With that said, Charlotte took two men with her and left.
Meanwhile, Zachary had been waiting outside in agony all this while. It broke his heart to imagine the pain Ellie went through.
Charlotte was shocked when she looked at herself in the mirror in the washroom.
She almost could not recognize herself.
She looked away to avoid looking at herself.
She took off her clothes and took a shower to wash away the bloodstain on her body.
What Zachary said was right. She had to clean herself before going to see Ellie.
Zachary was still outside the emergency room when his phone ring. “Robbie?”
“How are you, Daddy? How are Mommy and Ellie?”
Robbie had been anticipating updates from them for a long time, but he could no longer hold it in anymore, so he decided to call.
“Mommy is fine,” Zachary said comfortingly, “Ellie is sick, so she needs to be at the hospital.”
“So y’all saved Ellie?”
Robbie was quick to catch on.
“Yes. We saved her, but Dr. Felch is still treating her. She’ll be okay soon.”
“Where are y’all now? Jamie and I want to go over.”
“Mr. Spencer can send us over!” Jamie’s anxious voice came from further away.
“Listen, Robbie and Jamie,” Zachary said, trying to sound calm, “We’re in another country now. We will go back with Ellie when everything’s settled. Don’t worry, okay?”
“But, Daddy…”
“Mommy’s here. Do y’all want to talk to her?”
Zachary tried changing the topic.
“Okay.”
