q“Rest well, Daddy.” Robbie expressed his concern to Zachary before turning his attention to Charlotte. “Mommy, don't forget to visit Ellie in the hospital when you're free.”
“How's Ellie?” Charlotte hastened to ask, “Did she talk to you today?”
“She said she's scared, but when I asked her what she is scared of, she cried immediately and wouldn't talk clearly...” Robbie explained. “When we left just now, she kept asking for you.”
“I'll visit her at the hospital later,” she said. “Okay. Go back to your room now.”
“All right.” Robbie looked at Zachary and inclined his head as a greeting before leaving.
“What happened to Ellie?” Zachary asked.
“The fire incident traumatized her,” Charlotte answered briefly before heading to the closet. “I told you before when we were in the car.”
Zachary wanted to follow her to the closet, but his injuries hurt so bad that he had to walk over slowly. By the time he reached the closet, she had already changed into a fresh set of clothes.
“I'm going to the hospital now. Take a good rest at home,” she said while tying up her long hair.
“I'll go with you,” he quickly offered. “Ellie is my child too. I'm worried about her.”
“I know, but you're not feeling well either, so you should rest more.” Charlotte cupped his face with her hands. “Besides, there's still a lot of work waiting for us to settle. I need you to recuperate fast so that you can help me out with it.”
“But—”
“All right, I have to go now.” Charlotte kissed him on his forehead and left in a hurry. “Go and take a shower. Mrs. Rawlston will bring your meal over soon.”
Zachary's eyes darkened as he watched her leave.
Once the sound of Charlotte's footsteps faded, he started looking around as if studying the room. Then, he made his way to the bathroom.
In the meantime, Charlotte told Morgan to stay in the house while she and Lupine brought a few maids to the hospital.
