“What did you say?”
When Charlotte tensed up upon hearing the news, she felt a sudden pain from the needles. Blood began oozing out slowly.
“When you’re being treated, you can’t be too emotional.” Dr. Felch admonished from next door. “Whatever it is, talk about it later. Out you go!”
“Right away, I’m sorry.” Lupine stepped out at once.
“Charlotte, you have to maintain your calm. No matter what, you can deal with it after the treatment.” Hayley quickly comforted her. “The needles pierced deeper into you when you were agitated just now. Does it still hurt?”
“Y-yes…” Charlotte was in such stinging pain that she could barely speak. Gritting her teeth, she instructed, “Hayley, tell Lupine to gather the men and wait for me.”
“Charlotte…”
“Go now!”
Hayley had wanted to calm Charlotte down. But given how desperate she was, Hayley was worried about agitating her further. Hence, she had no choice but to relay the message.
Lupine was waiting right at the door for further instructions. Upon hearing Hayley’s message, she replied at once, “Don’t worry, Ms. Lindberg. I’ll get right on it.”
“Everyone listen up, prepare the vehicles and arm yourselves. Once Ms. Lindberg is done with her treatment, we will move out!”
“Yes!”
Given the commotion, everyone else at home was nervous.
Feeling unnerved, Mrs. Rawlston rushed into her room and wanted to make a phone call.
When Lupine’s sharp eye caught what she was doing, she snatched the phone away and respectfully said, “Mrs. Rawlston, Ms. Lindberg respects you a lot so we won’t dare lay a finger on you. However, if you do anything to betray her, we will show no mercy!”
“No, no…” Mrs. Rawlston anxiously explained, “I’m not betraying her, I just… just…”
Mrs. Rawlston stuttered for a long while.
