Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1407
Once everything was settled, Ben went to see Zachary.
When he was sending Lupine to the hospital, he had spoken to Marino over the phone. Upon learning that Zachary had suffered a relapse, he knew it would be chaotic at home, and Charlotte would face obstacles there. That was why he ordered Kyle to pick the children up from Northridge to protect their mother.
Finally, it was all resolved. Nancy had left while Spencer had also gone home.
When peace returned in the house, Hanna and the other maids sighed in relief.
With Charlotte around, they could feel the previously bleak villa begin to bristle with warmth.
Ben reported Lupine’s condition to Charlotte. “Lupine has woken up in the afternoon, and Morgan brought the three girls to accompany her in the hospital.”
Given how noisy the group was, he dared not speak and instead slipped out of the ward.
Picturing the scene, Charlotte could not help but smile. Morgan was a lot more animated than Lupine. With her around, the atmosphere would definitely be lively.
Because of Morgan’s demeanor, the three girls loved to play with her. Naturally, Charlotte assigned her to take care of the children.
Lupine would surely recover a lot faster with them to keep her company.
At that moment, Charlotte began to miss the three girls after not seeing them for a few days. In fact, she felt bad for not spending time when Danrique had entrusted them to her.
However, she could only wait till her own affairs were dealt with before she could focus all her attention on them.
While they were speaking, Charlotte’s phone suddenly vibrated. When she saw the caller ID, she answered at once. “Hello, Gordon!”
“Ms. Lindberg, you wanted to talk to me?”
“Yes, how are things at your end? Did you manage to find Danrique?”
“Not yet, but I’ve confirmed that he’s still alive!”
“Really? That’s wonderful!” Charlotte was thrilled. “I knew he would be all right.”
“Now that his enemies are hunting him down, we dare not act hastily. Hence, the only thing we can do now is to bide our time.”
“Yes. You must be careful. You cannot let his enemies find out about his location from your end.”
“I understand. Ms. Lindberg, you take care of yourself too.”
“I know. One more thing…”
“Go on.”
“Do you know where Francesco is?”
“Francesco? He has always been secretive about his movements. Therefore, no one seems to know his location.”
“Does anyone know how to get in touch with him?”
“What happened?”
“Someone extremely important to me is gravely ill. Time is of the essence, and only Francesco can save him. Gordon, please rack your brains. Is there anyone who can contact him?”
“Let me ask Sean. However, I suspect he doesn’t know either. Only Mr. Lindberg does.”
“Help me contact Sean first and find out about the details. Also, be quick about it.”
“All right. I’ll do so right away and get back to you once I hear from him.”
After ending the call, Charlotte fell dispirited. Gordon and Sean were Danrique’s right-hand men. If even they were not aware of Francesco’s location, no one else would be.
Of course, Danrique definitely knew. However, since his whereabouts were unknown, it would be too late by the time he was found.
With that in mind, she began to grow anxious.
“Ms. Lindberg, don’t fret yet. I’m sure we can come up with something,” Ben comforted her.
“Time waits for no man.” Looking at the sleeping Zachary, Charlotte pondered for a moment before making a decision. “When he wakes up, I’ll have to return to Erihal.”
“Huh?” Stunned, Ben dissuaded her, “Mr. Lindberg had painstakingly removed you from the conflicts of the Lindberg family because he doesn’t want you to be in harm’s way. By going back now, aren’t you putting your life at risk?”
“I have Danrique’s trusted subordinates by my side, so I’ll be fine.” Her expression was sullen. “Actually, I’m most worried about the children, especially Danrique’s triplets. He had tasked me with taking care of them, but I have not been doing a good job.”
