Military Staff House.
Several teams of men with loaded guns patrolled back and forth at the Military Staff House, keeping a firm watch on all those people inside.
In front of the Heath residence, six soldiers guarded the door, and all of them were Otis' cronies.
Inside the guest room on the first floor, Charlotte's eyes were slightly closed. She was leaning on the side of the bed, her face was gaunt, and her lips were pale without a trace of blood. She sometimes frowned, and sometimes sighed. The torment of the illness made her lose her old brightness. In just a few days it seemed like she had aged many years.
Suddenly, she coughed violently and never stopped. She almost thought she would die from it.
Tommy, the personal escort, heard it from the outside and rushed in with a cup of hot water.
"Miss Charlotte, drink some water to wet your throat while Jane goes to wash your sheets and clothes." He let out a sigh.
Charlotte just took her cough medicine and still the coughing never stopped. He had no idea what had happened to her.
The military overhaul happened overnight and no one told him what was going on.
Otis called him in to keep an eye on Charlotte and also hired a caregiver, Jane.
When he first arrived, Charlotte had a lot of blood coming out of her body every day, staining the sheets and clothes, and Jane, the caregiver, was responsible for changing her clothes and cleaning her body.
He spoke to the guards outside several times, yet they all looked indifferent.
He had to take out some of the spare medicine stored here and give Charlotte some anti-inflammatory medicine and cough reliever.
In the last two days, the bleeding finally decreased, but Charlotte's face also looked extremely bad.
Charlotte reluctantly straightened up, took the glass of water from Tommy and took a few sips.
