Henry had fallen ill, and he was due to stay in the hospital for a period of time to recuperate. Mrs. Ralwston was hoping that Charlotte and Zachary would seize this golden opportunity to talk things out and reconcile with the help of the children.
She did not expect that Henry would return so soon.
Dumbfounded, Mrs. Rawlston was unsure of what to do.
“Ask Jade to come down.” Charlotte rose to her feet as she put on a jacket. “Don't wake the kids up.”
“Err...” Mrs. Rawlston hesitated for a moment before getting Jade back.
Right then, there was a commotion upstairs. Morgan bellowed, “Get lost! I'll end your life if you utter just one more word.”
“You... How could you say that? We're here to give Ellie her medication.”
“Get lost!”
Knitting her brows, Charlotte rushed upstairs to see what happened.
It turned out that Cynthia brought two maids to feed Elisa some medicine, but the latter refused to drink it. She was very resistant, and even bawled her eyes out, asking for them to leave the room.
Morgan requested the maids to acquiesce in Ellie's decision, and subsequently check with Charlotte for further action.
However, Cynthia was relentless. Instead, she urged Ellie to drink her medicine at that instant. Her insistence made Morgan go ballistic.
After understanding the entire situation, Charlotte went to comfort Ellie. “There, there, Ellie. It's okay. Take it easy and rest.” Elisa was curling up in a fetal position, holding her stuffed alpaca. Her whole body was shaking, which made Charlotte feel so sorry for her.
“Mommy, I'm terrified...” Her voice was hoarse due to her prolonged sickness whereas her sunken eyes welled up. “I don't want to drink any medicine. It makes me feel worse.”
“All right. It's fine. You don't have to take the medicine if you don't want to,” Charlotte consoled her gently. “Rest well, I won't let anyone disturb you.”
“Okay...” Elisa took a peek at Cynthia and nodded timidly.
“Guard the room,” Charlotte commanded the two bodyguards.
“Noted!” They shut the door and stood outside.
“Hang on...” A nurse from the Blackwood family blocked the door and argued, “Ms. Ellie isn't well, and she should be consuming her medicine. If you lot don't allow her to do so, how can her illness be healed? When that happens, Mr. Nacht is going to put the blame on Ms. Blackwood. How can this be?”
