Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1126

As Lupine reported what Ellie ate, she added, “I was watching her the whole time and didn’t allow her to eat anything she wasn’t supposed to.”

“Mmm-hmm.” After glancing at Ellie, Dr. Felch instructed, “Leave us.”

“But…” Lupine looked at Charlotte.

“Go.” Charlotte waved.

“Yes.” Lupine and two other subordinates left with their heads hung low.

“You too,” Dr. Felch insisted to Charlotte.

“Huh?” Charlotte was caught by surprise. Usually, she could stay around unless it was an emergency. Is Ellie’s condition really that serious?

“Don’t worry, it’s no big deal.” Dr. Felch understood her concerns. “I just want to speak to the children in private.”

Robbie was stunned. Crap, Dr. Felch knows.

After giving Robbie a thoughtful look, Charlotte got up and left.

While applying some ointment on Ellie’s tummy, he asked Hayley to prepare some medication.

Then he casually remarked, “The glucose tablet won’t trigger any side effects in Ellie. Nevertheless, she hasn’t fully recovered and will still feel significant discomfort. No matter the reason, you shouldn’t have fooled around with her health.”

Robbie lowered his head in shame after hearing those words.

Holding her aching stomach, Ellie explained anxiously, “Dr. Felch, I ate it of my own volition. It has nothing to do with Robbie.”

“Next time, you’re not allowed to steal from my medical kit,” Dr. Felch reminded the children.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Felch.” Robbie explained softly, “However, I didn’t steal it from you. Hayley had given the tablet to me when I was experiencing stomach discomfort. However, I kept it instead of eating it.”

Dr. Felch turned toward Hayley.

“It’s true.” Hayley nodded.

“Hayley gave it to you because you’re healthy and won’t have any problems consuming it. However, the same can’t be said of Ellie.” Dr. Felch reminded solemnly, “The results between someone healthy and someone sick consuming the tablet can vary greatly. Next time, don’t pull such a stunt anymore.”

“Yes, I understand.” Feeling remorseful, Robbie asked anxiously, “Dr. Felch, is Ellie fine now? I assumed that she would only have a tummy ache and didn’t expect such a drastic reaction.”

“It’s not a big problem, but she still needs to take some medication.” Dr. Felch frown and concluded, “That’s all now. You can go. I figure your mommy is waiting for an explanation from you.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Robbie nodded before giving Ellie a guilty look. “I’m sorry, Ellie.”

“Don’t worry, Robbie. I’ll recover in no time-” Barf!

Before she could finish, Ellie retched again.

“Ellie, here. Drink some water.” Hayley helped Ellie up and fed her some water.

“Go on now.” Dr. Felch tousled Robbie’s hair.

When Robbie left the clinic, Charlotte was waiting on the sofa with a gloomy expression. She stared at him with mixed feelings. “Come to my study.”

Lowering his head, Robbie followed her to the study on the first floor.

Despite it being referred to as a study, it was more like a library. The ceiling inside had been raised to accommodate multi-story tall bookshelves. The grand mahogany bookshelves were a sight to behold and brought a touch of classical finesse to the room.

Even the vase by the corner was a rare antique. The study’s atmosphere was so peaceful that it would help anyone who entered quieten their heart.

Robbie scrutinized the study until Charlotte’s voice jolted him back to his senses.

“Come over here.” Sitting at her desk, Charlotte frowned at Robbie.

Robbie walked over with his head hung low, not daring to utter a single word.

“Do you want to confess before I question you?”

It was rare for Charlotte to take such a stern stand against the children. However, she was furious given the severity of the situation.
