“Should we go check up on him, Ms. Lindberg?” asked Lupine softly.
Charlotte tilted her gaze down and remained quiet for a few seconds before she finally stepped forward to leave. She said, “Unnecessary gestures will only further break his heart. It’s better if we just rip the band-aid off. Let’s go.”
Lupine didn’t reply. She simply followed Charlotte’s orders.
Avril led everyone down the stairs to where the guards had already pulled the car up. The keys were still in the ignition, and the car was running.
“Goodbye, Ms. Lindberg,” greeted Avril politely as she bowed to Charlotte.
Charlotte bowed back. She shifted her gaze to the second floor where Louis’ room was located.
He was staring at her from the windows in his room, even though his wrist was still bleeding. Two nurses were at his side and tending to his wound.
Sherlyn and a few other maids had him surrounded and were helping him out as well.
They were too far apart, so Charlotte couldn’t see Louis’ expression nor could she bid him goodbye. All she could do was turn around and get in the car with guilt burning inside her.
“Charlotte Lindberg!” A proud and cruel voice suddenly came over.
Charlotte turned over to see Robert standing by the door with his hands behind his back. Hatred donned his face when he threatened, “Someday, you will pay back everything you owe us.”
Charlotte didn’t reply. She simply bowed with her head down before she got into the car.
As the car traveled down the road, Charlotte checked on Louis via the rearview mirror. That was when she saw that he was kneeling on the floor and crying so much that he was trembling.
She couldn’t hear his voice, but she could sense his hopelessness and devastation.
Her gaze tilted down, and a drop of tear rolled down her cheek.
It would be a lie to say that she wasn’t hurt at all.
Sherlyn was responsible for most of the damage done, and Diana had further messed things up. However, it was possible that none of that would’ve happened if Charlotte had been firm in rejecting Louis.
Lupine couldn’t help sighing, either. “Sir Louis truly is an innocent bystander in all this,” commented Lupine.
“Let’s pray that he’ll grow and become stronger after this entire ordeal. It could turn out to be a good thing for him because he might never grow up without experiencing something like this,” added Morgan, who was feeling sorrowful as well.
