“Mommy, please stay back. At least wait till Ellie gets better before you leave.” Tugging at Charlotte’s sleeve, Robbie suggested, “What if something happens to Ellie while you’re gone?”
“I’ll bring all of you back with me,” Charlotte declared.
“Stop messing around.” Zachary stopped her at once. “Can’t you see how sick Ellie is? Why are you being so persistent?”
“Zachary…”
“For the children’s sake, why don’t you just stay for the time being?” Zachary was close to pleading. “As for the rest, we’ll discuss them later.”
Cynthia felt anxious when she heard Zachary’s request. Despite tugging at his sleeves, he simply ignored her.
Charlotte hesitated briefly. Although she didn’t feel like staying, she couldn’t allow Ellie to take any more risks.
Her priority now was for Ellie to recover. Since she couldn’t get Francesco and Dr. Felch wasn’t back yet, she had no choice but to rely on Cynthia.
However, if Cynthia decided to mess around, Ellie would be in real danger.
Hence, she knew she couldn’t take the risk.
With that thought in mind, Charlotte finally compromised. “Fine, I’ll stay here for a few days until Ellie has recovered.”
“That’s wonderful.” Zachary was delighted. He ordered Ben at once, “Prepare the rooms, including those for the bodyguards.”
“Right away.” With that, Ben conveyed the message to Mrs. Rawlston.
“Daddy, you look very happy.” Jamie looked at Zachary in shock. “You’re even smiling.”
“Are you sure?” Zachary collected himself quickly.
Charlotte rolled her eyes at him and asserted, “Out with the rest of you. I’ll stay here with Ellie.”
“I want to stay with Ellie too-”
“Out!”
“Okay.”
Before Zachary could finish, Charlotte yelled for him to go out.
