Chapter 1625 The Fallout
“I wonder what happened to Nancy.” Lupine was curious. “Wasn’t she with Chris? Did she discover something and regret it after that?”
Charlotte turned silent for a while and then sighed. “She must be desperate about getting sold by her father.”
Lupine let out a deep sigh too.
“All right. Please accompany Ben. And don’t forget about the prescription.” Charlotte reminded with a low voice. “I’ll go check on Jamie.”
“Okay.”
Charlotte went back to her room and took a shower. After getting changed, she went to the first floor to see Jamie.
Jamie was on a drip, and Raina was treating his wounds.
Ellie hugged her white stuffed alpaca, standing in a corner and staring at Jamie. Her eyes were brimmed with tears.
She used her hand to cover her mouth, worrying that her crying sound might disturb Jamie.
“Ellie!” Charlotte hugged Ellie tightly and comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. Jamie will be fine.”
“Mommy…” Ellie jumped into Charlotte’s embrace. Her tears could not stop flowing. “What about Robbie? Will he be back?”
“Of course. Uncle Gordon will bring him back soon.” Charlotte wiped the tears off Ellie’s face. “Our family will be united soon.”
“Okay!” Ellie nodded despite still crying profusely.
Charlotte let Jade take Ellie outside. Then, she walked toward the bed and whispered to Raina, “How is he doing?”
“His wounds are not serious, but the severe cold has caused pneumonia.” Raina frowned. “Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts, and he is strong. Otherwise, it will be more serious…”
Raina paused for a while and changed the topic. “The medical equipment here is enough. I will bring some medicine here later.”
However, Charlotte lost her calm after hearing those words. Jamie has the best health among the three kids because he knows martial arts. But Robbie…
They should be treated the same way after getting kidnapped. Now that Jamie is already so seriously ill, Robbie will definitely be worse…
“Ms. Lindberg, please calm down.” Raina noticed Charlotte’s concerns. “I’ve just received a call from Bruce. He got out with a few men, and he is no longer under the control of those people. He’s heading toward Gordon right now and will help him find Robbie.”
“That’s great.” Morgan immediately chimed in. “Gordon has been working non-stop for over a week now, so he must be exhausted and he couldn’t do much alone too. However, the trail won’t go cold with Bruce’s help.”
“Bruce brought along Mr. Nacht’s Elite Eighteen with him. That will be a great help,” Raina uttered. “But Chris will be more impudent if they are not around.”
“The most important thing now is to rescue Robbie.” Charlotte hesitated and got confused. “But, how did Bruce escape and even bring eighteen men with him?”
“I’m not sure about that.” Raina felt strange too. “I was shocked when I received the call just now. He even told me that we didn’t need to listen to that imposter anymore!”
“Does he intend to fall out with them?” Morgan was shocked.
“That’s right! We’re going after them directly!”
Just then, a voice rang out. Marino walked in, carrying a crutch.
“Marino, why are you here?” Morgan immediately walked over to support him.
Marino patted Morgan’s hand while turning toward Charlotte. “Ms. Lindberg, my legs have improved a lot. I want to go and meet Bruce.”
“No way. Your injury has not yet recovered,” Morgan immediately responded.
“It’s almost there. Even if I can’t fight, I still can drive. It’s the left leg anyway,” Marino said impatiently. “I’ve been lying down for so long, so I need to do something.”
