The sky was gloomy when they left the house and looked like it was going to rain soon.
Fortunately, Lupine had prepared noise-canceling headphones and could pass them over to Charlotte if it started raining.
They stumbled upon about a dozen cars from the Nacht family traveling in a straight line along the way, and it looked like something big had happened.
“What’s going on? Are they moving houses or what?” Lupine asked as she stared at the convoy in front of them.
“Maybe they’re worried that Cynthia has hidden her poison somewhere else. Either that or they’ve discovered something and are evacuating the house until it is completely cleansed.”
The sound of an eagle was heard while Charlotte spoke, and Lupine quickly had the driver slow down while she rolled the window down.
Fifi the eagle then flew into the car with Fifi the parrot riding on its back.
Fifi the parrot was gripping tightly onto Fifi’s feathers for fear of falling off, and it was glancing about curiously in the back seat of the car.
Lupine couldn’t resist the urge to tease Little Fifi when she saw it. “Haha, what are you doing here, little guy? Aww, look at you! You’re still shaking!”
“I didn’t expect for you two to become friends,” Charlotte said as she reached out, prompting Little Fifi to fly onto the back of her hand and nuzzle against her cheek.
Charlotte gave it a gentle pat on the head before turning to look at Fifi the eagle and saw a little note in its mouth.
The note read: We’re waiting for you to come home, Mommy!
Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie’s signatures could be seen at the bottom of the note, and Charlotte felt touched when she saw it.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
The voices of the kids came from outside the window.
Lupine ordered the driver to bring their car closer so both Rolls-Royces were driving side by side, and the kids waved at Charlotte from inside the car.
Jamie got a little too excited and stuck his head out of the window, only to be dragged back inside by Ben. “Hey, that’s dangerous!”
Ben then gestured at Lupine to ask if she would like to pull over for a chat.
Lupine glanced at Charlotte, who shook her head and leaned in closer to the kids as she said, “Get back in your seats, kids! Mommy will come and see you in a couple of days!”
“Okay, Mommy…” the kids replied as they obediently returned to their seats.
Lupine then gestured at Fifi, prompting it to fly out of the car window and return to the kids with Little Fifi.
Charlotte waved at them with the note in hand as her car slowly drew further away from theirs.
She felt her eyes redden when she saw the kids leaning against the back seat and staring at her longingly.
“You’ll be able to see them very soon. I heard Marino has found Dr. Felch, and he’ll be arriving in H City tonight,” Lupine comforted her.
“Find out which flight he’ll be taking,” Charlotte instructed.
“Roger!”
The sky began to drizzle all of a sudden, and it was already nighttime when Charlotte arrived at the hospital.
She then headed over to Morgan’s ward with her subordinates and was about to enter when she heard her anxious voice from inside, “Why did you come back ahead of schedule all of a sudden?”
“I got worried when I heard you were shot, so I came back in advance,” Marino said.
“Where is Dr. Felch? Did he come with you?” Morgan asked worriedly.
“He’s arriving on a private jet. I’ll head over to the airport in a bit.”
“You… are you crazy? How dare you disobey your orders like that? Zachary would punish you severely if he finds out you went AWOL!” Morgan shouted angrily.
“I don’t care! I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to see you anymore if I didn’t come back…”
“Shut up! Honestly, you are unbelievable! Dr. Felch is really crucial to both Ms. Lindberg and Ms. Elisa’s life! What if something happens to him? Go pick him up now!” Morgan yelled furiously.
“Okay, I will… Geez, I was just worried about you! Now that I know you’re okay, I’ll head over to the airport…”
