Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 998

The Nacht family bodyguard then hurried off to continue his search while Lupine stood there, clenching her teeth in frustration.

“I can’t believe we jinxed ourselves! Damn it, Marino shouldn’t have acted so impulsively! He’d arrive in H City tonight anyway, so what’s the point of coming back ahead of schedule? Now that Dr. Felch has been taken away, what are we going to do?”

“It’s pointless to get worked up about it now. Let’s go find out more about what exactly happened,” Charlotte said with a frown.

“Okay.” Lupine was about to start investigating further when her phone rang all of a sudden, and she went pale from shock after answering it. “What? Really? Okay, make sure you show him the best hospitality possible! We’ll be right back!”

Lupine then hung up the phone and glanced about cautiously before whispering something into Charlotte’s ear.

“Are you serious?” Charlotte asked in surprise.

“Oh, I’m dead serious. It’s one of Mr. Lindberg’s men.”

“Let’s head back right away!”

“Roger!”

Charlotte rushed all the way home as quickly as she could, only to see a white-haired old man sipping tea by the coffee table. There was a young man and woman standing next to him, and they were both bewildered when they saw Charlotte.

“Charlotte!” Hayley came running over and grabbed her by the hand as she screamed excitedly, “Is it really you? I’m not dreaming, am I? You’re alive! This is great!”

“Hi, Hayley! Oh, my goodness! Look how much you’ve grown!” Charlotte recognized her immediately and felt a surge of complicated emotions deep inside her heart.

“We thought you were dead! You have no idea how long we grieved!” Hayley sobbed while hugging her tightly.

Sam too, was extremely glad to see Charlotte. “They said you were still alive, but I didn’t believe it. I’m so glad it’s true! The guys from the Nachts had brought us over by force, and then we were snatched away by another group of men at the airport! That was so scary!”

Dr. Felch smiled at Charlotte and said, “I’m just glad you’re all right. They say god favors good people, and it seems that statement holds true!”

“I didn’t think I’d be able to see you guys again. Life sure is full of surprises!” Charlotte exclaimed as she recalled her experience searching for a cure in Phoenix City with Mrs. Berry two years ago.

“Yeah, I heard some stories about you earlier. Mrs. Berry once said my chickens weren’t fat enough, and that she would teach me how to farm them better, but…”

Charlotte’s eyes reddened when she heard him mention Mrs. Berry, and Dr. Felch let out a sigh in response.

“So, how were you able to survive the past two years?” he asked.

“Danrique knows a really great doctor. He formulated some kind of medicine for me and had me drink a bottle of it each week.”

After telling him about her treatment, Charlotte added, “But that’s not important right now because it only triggers on rainy days with thunderstorms. As for my daughter, she’s been poisoned by something really nasty and her current condition isn’t looking great.”

“Bring her to me, hurry!” Dr. Felch said hurriedly.

“She’s not home right now, so I’ll…” Charlotte was halfway through her sentence when her phone rang and interrupted her. She then stepped aside and answered the call, “Hello, Danrique.”

“I’ve brought you the doctor. Are you going to pick the kids up yourself, or do you want me to help you with that?” Danrique sounded cold and arrogantly domineering as always, but his intention was clear.

He had brought Dr. Felch straight to the Lindberg residence so she wouldn’t have to face the Nachts whom she hated, and he was calling to ask if she needed his help with bringing the kids over too.

“I’ll do it myself! I’ll go pick them up tonight!”

“Do not disappoint me.”

“I won’t! Thanks, Danrique!”

Despite what she said, Charlotte was still feeling uneasy after hanging up the phone. She knew Danrique’s men would surely barge into the Nacht residence and take the kids by force if she failed to bring them home that night.
