Jamie nodded before uttering, “Yeah. Also, I’ll work harder from now on, Mommy. So that I can protect you when I’m all grown up.”
“No matter where we choose to live, I’ll make sure we survive. However, we need to wait for Ellie’s recovery before we can head anywhere.” Robbie had a serious look on his face.
“Then, we must wait for a few more days,” replied Jamie.
“So, you’ll have to protect Ellie for the next few days, Jamie. Don’t worry about Mommy. She’ll be under my aegis. We need to work together on this, okay?”
“Understood!”
The two children continued to discuss their future plans.
Gazing at the two of them, Charlotte’s eyes started tearing up.
Over the past two years, Charlotte had been pushing herself to the limit in order to become someone who could solve any problem thrown her way.
Hence, she was rather touched when her children told her that they would share the burden with her.
Look at them! Their eyes are so solemn and honest. I’m so glad to have you guys as my children.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Jamie reached out his hand to wipe the tears off Charlotte’s face. “Did Daddy hurt you? Don’t be sacred. I’ll make sure to lecture him later.”
Robbie grabbed onto Charlotte’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t worry, Mommy. We’ve all grown up, so it’s our turn to protect you.”
Charlotte embraced Robbie and Jamie. “As long as you guys are here with me, I have nothing to fear!”
Robbie gave her a gentle pat on the back. “We will always be here to support you, Mommy.”
“Me too! Me too!” said Little Fifi.
“Yeah, yeah. You too.”
“Hahaha…”
Amused, they all burst out laughing. The room was suddenly filled with bliss and delight.
After Charlotte was done packing up, she took Robbie and Jamie to bed.
Morgan ordered the bodyguards to keep Ellie safe. “Don’t let anyone from the Blackwood family near her,” he exhorted.
Just as Charlotte and Morgan were about to leave, Zachary queried, “Are you heading out? It’s quite late in the night. Also, I think it’s about to rain soon.”
Charlotte just ignored him and left.
Zachary caught up to her and added, “You should bring more men with you. Zara might be hiding in the mountains nearby.”
“Just mind your own business.”
Charlotte gave him a cold glance before getting in the car.
Seeing as Charlotte only brought Morgan with her, Zachary instructed Bruce, “Keep an eye on them. Make sure she’s safe.”
“Understood.”
“You know what, never mind. I’ll watch over her myself. I want you to protect Mr. Henry and the kids while I’m gone.”
Bruce nodded. “Understood. But your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. Will you be okay?”
“I’m not that fragile. I’ll be fine.”
Zachary took his men and rushed after Charlotte.
“Actually, Mr. Nacht is right. We should bring more men with us,” said Morgan, while driving.
“With half our men going after Sharon, the rest need to stay at home to protect the kids. We can’t afford to bring any extra manpower with us.”
Scrolling through her phone, Charlotte was checking if Danrique had replied to her message.
Unfortunately for her, there wasn’t any message from Danrique yet.
If Danrique isn’t willing to help us get Francesco, Dr. Felch will be our last and only hope.
