q“I wonder what happened to Nancy.” Lupine was curious. “Wasn't she with Chris? Did she discover something and regret it after that?”
Charlotte turned silent for a while and then sighed. “She must be desperate about getting sold by her father.”
Lupine let out a deep sigh too.
“All right. Please accompany Ben. And don't forget about the prescription.” Charlotte reminded with a low voice. “I'll go check on Jamie.”
“Okay.”
Charlotte went back to her room and took a shower. After getting changed, she went to the first floor to see Jamie.
Jamie was on a drip, and Raina was treating his wounds.
Ellie hugged her white stuffed alpaca, standing in a corner and staring at Jamie. Her eyes were brimmed with tears.
She used her hand to cover her mouth, worrying that her crying sound might disturb Jamie.
“Ellie!” Charlotte hugged Ellie tightly and comforted her. “Don't be afraid. Jamie will be fine.”
“Mommy...” Ellie jumped into Charlotte's embrace. Her tears could not stop flowing. “What about Robbie? Will he be back?”
“Of course. Uncle Gordon will bring him back soon.” Charlotte wiped the tears off Ellie's face. “Our family will be united soon.”
“Okay!” Ellie nodded despite still crying profusely.
Charlotte let Jade take Ellie outside. Then, she walked toward the bed and whispered to Raina, “How is he doing?”
“His wounds are not serious, but the severe cold has caused pneumonia.” Raina frowned. “Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts, and he is strong. Otherwise, it will be more serious...”
Raina paused for a while and changed the topic. “The medical equipment here is enough. I will bring some medicine here later.”
