Charlotte did not ask any question further as she lowered her head and pondered.
By the time she reached home, Ellie was having lunch at the dining table. The latter ran toward Charlotte when she saw her back. “Mommy, why are you back so early?”
“I can’t carry on my errand, for now, so I came back early.” Charlotte caressed Ellie’s forehead. “Good. It seems like you don’t have fever anymore.”
“Yeah, Dr. Felch said I’ve recovered,” Ellie responded right away. “I have had no fever for the whole day.”
“Good to hear that.” Charlotte carried Ellie back to the dining table.
Dr. Felch smiled at Charlotte. “Ellie’s condition is stable now. Just be careful for two more days.”
“Thanks, Dr. Felch.” Charlotte placed Ellie on her chair. “Ellie, be good and eat your food.”
“Mommy, so tonight, can I go over to Daddy’s?” Ellie cast a glance at her, full of anticipation.
“Sure.” Charlotte did not want to back on her promise. “But you’ll have to go over a bit later. Daddy’s usually busy around dinner time. After he’s free, I’ll arrange for a driver to send you there, okay?”
“Okay.” Ellie nodded obediently.
“Good girl. Then eat your lunch now and take a nap later. After you wake up, do your rehab. You may watch cartoons for a while after that. Then it’ll be about time.”
“All right.”
After settling down Ellie, Charlotte greeted Dr. Felch and headed to the study room.
She wanted to sort out the documents for the South Sea project, as she planned to bring them over tonight.
Since everyone would be at the funeral, she planned to get their signatures there. Then, she could put the whole matter to an end.
Lupine was there to help her out, and both of them knuckled off until around four in the afternoon.
