Jamie glanced timidly at Zachary. He felt that he should be apologizing, but words failed him.
He was only three and a half, but he had pride.
“It's fine,” Zachary said loudly, sparing Jamie the necessity to speak. “Have a good rest.”
He then turned around to instruct the nurses, “Take good care of them!”
“Yes, Mr. Nacht,” the nurses replied, scrambling to round up the children.
Zachary glanced at Robbie once more before departing, with Ben hurrying to keep pace.
Zachary addressed him in a low voice, and he turned around to address the guards, “You four, the children's safety is in your hands.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Robbie, Jamie, Ellie, let's head back to the ward.” The nurses led the way.
Outside, the four bodyguards stood as still as statues, barring the entrance with their wide physiques.
“What are they doing?” Ellie asked in a frightened voice. She hid in the folds of Violet and peered timidly outside.
“Don't be afraid, child. They are sent by Mr. Nacht to protect you,” Violet assured Ellie.
“Robbie, is he a bad man?” Jamie frowned, concerned. “Was he the one who captured Mommy?”
“No, he wasn't,” Robbie replied, feeling exhausted as he stretched out on his bed. “He did not capture her. He told me that Mommy will be back tomorrow.”
“Really?” Jamie was overjoyed. His young handsome face was radiant.
“That's great!” Ellie clapped excitedly. “We can finally see Mommy again.”
“Mommy! Mommy!” squawked Fifi the parrot.
“Alright, children. You need to rest now,” Amelia said. “Jamie, Ellie, these two beds are for you. You tuck yourselves in, I will bring you some milk in a while.”
“Did you bring my bottle?” Ellie asked, her eyes widening expectantly. “And my little lamb!”
