Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 138

“It was Timothy’s mother.” Jamie clenched his fist forcefully. He was all riled up and continued to utter, “She rebuked us for not having a father, and even said that we are…”

Jamie gritted his teeth to stop himself from finishing the sentence. What came next was something he dared not mention. Consequently, his eyes started to turn red.

“Don’t bother. She did it on purpose!” Robbie tried to remind his brother. However, red streaks were evidently visible in the corner of his eyes as well.

Charlotte bit her lips and remained quiet. Nevertheless, she knew the impact of those derogatory words towards the children…

Previously, she bit the bullet when they bullied her inhumanely. Nonetheless, this time, she wouldn’t let them off the hook anymore…

“Karma will catch up to them.” Mrs. Berry was infuriated.

“What’s her temperature?” Charlotte changed the topic of conversation.

“101.3 degrees Fahrenheit!” Robbie frowned. “Mommy, I think we should let Ellie have some fever medicine.”

Jamie swiftly raced towards the living room to retrieve the first aid kit box. “I’ll get the medicine.”

Mrs. Berry fiddled through the box and found the fever medicine. Immediately, she gave Ellie some of the medicine according to the recommended dosage.

 

Worryingly, Ellie was coughing profusely. Much to their dismay, she vomited most of the medicine and only managed to ingest a small portion of it.

Charlotte was perturbed with Ellie’s condition. Ever since she was born, her health and immune system were far from inferior compared to that of her two brothers. Therefore, Charlotte had always provided her with delicate care and attention.

After years of meticulous care and rehabilitation, Ellie’s health improved dramatically. Regrettably, the sudden fever must be caused by the inflammation of the tonsils due to her excessive crying.

After feeding Ellie with the medicine, it was already eighty-twenty at night.

While changing her shirt, Charlotte told Mrs. Berry, “Mrs. Berry, I’ll need to head to work now. May I trouble you tonight to take care of Ellie? Please remember to keep her hydrated and to frequently perform sponging for her. If the fever doesn’t subside when I return from work, I’ll bring her to the hospital.”

“Miss, it’s already late at night. Where are you going?” Mrs. Berry was concerned.

Charlotte replied, “I found a side job from eighty-thirty to ten-thirty at night. Heck, I’m almost late.”

Charlotte hurriedly put on her clothes and left with her handbag.

“Mommy, please wait for a second.” Robbie pursued her hastily and passed her a bag. “You haven’t had dinner yet. Bring this bread along.”

“This as well.” Jamie ran out of the house with a box of milk. “Mommy, don’t worry about Ellie. We’ll take care of her.”
