As Lupine reported what Ellie ate, she added, “I was watching her the whole time and didn't allow her to eat anything she wasn't supposed to.”
“Mmm-hmm.” After glancing at Ellie, Dr. Felch instructed, “Leave us.”
“But...” Lupine looked at Charlotte.
“Go.” Charlotte waved.
“Yes.” Lupine and two other subordinates left with their heads hung low.
“You too,” Dr. Felch insisted to Charlotte.
“Huh?” Charlotte was caught by surprise. Usually, she could stay around unless it was an emergency. Is Ellie's condition really that serious?
“Don't worry, it's no big deal.” Dr. Felch understood her concerns. “I just want to speak to the children in private.”
Robbie was stunned. Crap, Dr. Felch knows.
After giving Robbie a thoughtful look, Charlotte got up and left.
While applying some ointment on Ellie's tummy, he asked Hayley to prepare some medication.
Then he casually remarked, “The glucose tablet won't trigger any side effects in Ellie. Nevertheless, she hasn't fully recovered and will still feel significant discomfort. No matter the reason, you shouldn't have fooled around with her health.”
Robbie lowered his head in shame after hearing those words.
Holding her aching stomach, Ellie explained anxiously, “Dr. Felch, I ate it of my own volition. It has nothing to do with Robbie.”
“Next time, you're not allowed to steal from my medical kit,” Dr. Felch reminded the children.
“I'm sorry, Dr. Felch.” Robbie explained softly, “However, I didn't steal it from you. Hayley had given the tablet to me when I was experiencing stomach discomfort. However, I kept it instead of eating it.”
Dr. Felch turned toward Hayley.
“It's true.” Hayley nodded.
