Chapter 1487 Worried
Once they arrived at the hospital, Charlotte got down from the car in a haste. Before she reached Ellie’s ward, she could hear the child’s fearful cries from afar.
Rushing in, she gave Ellie a tight hug. “Ellie, don’t be afraid. Mommy’s here. I’m right here…”
“Mommy!” Ellie was shaking in her arms.
“Good girl, Ellie. You’re fine now. It’s all right. Mommy’s here. No one can hurt you.” Charlotte patted her back gently to comfort her.
Before long, Ellie finally calmed down and dozed off.
Raina revealed in a low voice, “The drug must be causing her sleepiness. She’ll be fine a couple of days later.”
“How about her wounds?” Charlotte inquired. “Her voice sounded hoarse.”
“Her throat is a little infected after she took in too much of the poisonous smoke. She’ll be fine after getting some rest,” Raina replied. “There are no big issues. It’s only a mild concussion.”
“I think she’s traumatized,” Charlotte said, staring at Ellie worriedly.
“Yes, she is,” came Raina’s answer. “I’ve arranged for some psychologists to examine her the next time she wakes up.”
“Okay.” Charlotte sat beside the bed. “You can leave now. I’ll keep Ellie company.”
“All right. I’ll go check on Ben. Call me if anything happens.”
“I…” Lupine hesitated.
“Leave with her. We’re fine here.” Charlotte knew what was on her mind.
“I’ll stay with Ms. Lindberg,” Morgan offered. “Go, Lupine.”
“Stay with her. Don’t leave her alone,” Lupine instructed.
“Of course.”
Lupine left with Raina, while Morgan stayed with Charlotte.
Charlotte switched off the lights, leaving behind a dim yellow light just so she could keep an eye on Ellie. Her heart was overwhelmed with anguish and guilt.
