Chapter 1306 See Him For The Last Time
Ben walked to a corner and gave Charlotte a call. He could not help but feel anxious. Dr. Felch is now hanging by a thread. Does this mean we’d be losing our last hope soon?
Charlotte did not pick up the phone, as she was playing with the children in the courtyard.
Ben then immediately contacted Marino. After getting to know that Dr. Felch was about to give up the ghost, Marino immediately ran to Charlotte and passed her the phone.
Charlotte, who was playing with a bubble gun with the children, planned to depart after this, but after answering talking to Ben over the phone, she dropped the bubble gun and instructed her bodyguards, “Quick. Get the car ready.”
“Right away!”
Morgan and Lupine did not even have the time to help the children change into fresh clothes. After stuffing all the six children and their clothes into their respective seats, they hit the road immediately.
Throughout the journey, Charlotte kept blaming herself. “It’s my fault. I should have left early. I should have brought the kids over to visit him yesterday…”
“What happened to Dr. Felch? He was still pretty energetic yesterday, wasn’t he?” Lupine felt sorry for Charlotte upon seeing how worried she was.
“What’s wrong with Dr. Felch?” Even the children felt something was amiss.
“Dr. Felch is very ill, and he wants to see you,” Charlotte regained her composure and explained. “I need all of you to stay quiet when you meet him later, okay?”
“Okay…” The children nodded despite not knowing what was going on.
“Good.” Charlotte, who grew increasingly despondent, embraced the children.
“Lupine, who called Mr. Marino just now?” Robbie asked all of a sudden.
At that time, Marino was driving the extended Rolls-Royce.
Lupine, who sat next to Charlotte, answered, “Ben called.”
“Does that mean Daddy and Mr. Ben are both at Dr. Felch’s?” A line formed between Robbie’s brows, and his eyes sparkled.
“I guess so.” Lupine did not think much before answering Robbie. “They must have visited Dr. Felch because they knew you’re going to be there.”
“Did you visit Dr. Felch with Daddy last night?” Robbie asked.
“Yes. We went together.” Lupine nodded.
“And you left together?” Robbie asked again.
“Your Daddy left first.” Lupine could feel Robbie had some doubts on his mind. “What’s wrong with you, Robbie?”
“Nothing.” Robbie shook his head and looked dispirited. “I just asked for fun.”
“Oh.” Lupine did not pursue the matter any further.
Charlotte did not hear what Robbie and Lupine said as she was busy reminding the other children not to disturb Dr. Felch when they arrived.
Their car continued to speed on the highway.
Meanwhile, Ben had called Raina and a few other specialists over. He wanted them to conduct a thorough check-up for Dr. Felch.
Dr. Felch waved his hand in the air in a sickly manner. Upon interpreting his intention, Sam choked on his words and said, “Dr. Felch said that won’t be necessary, but thank you.”
Raina, who felt a little uneasy, then looked at Zachary.
Zachary instructed, “Wait outside.”
“All right.” Raina had no choice but to retreat from the room with the medical team and wait in the courtyard alongside Bruce.
Dr. Felch, who could hardly move from the bed, kept staring at the door, hoping he could meet Charlotte and the children for one last time.
“Shall we go out for a walk to get some morning sun?” Zachary whispered his suggestion to his ear. “They should arrive soon.”
Dr. Felch responded with a weak nod.
When Hayley and Sam were about to help Dr. Felch get up from the bed, Zachary went up and carried him instead. “Bring his wheelchair over.”
“Okay.”
