Chapter 1098

“Don't let anything happen to my children..." Just as she prayed, she suddenly felt the weight on her

lifted.

“Mrs. Marwood!”

The bodyguards that hurried over immediately surrounded Anne and the children and shielded

them from the fans. As she was being pulled up from the ground, Anne recognized Ivan’s voice and

grabbed onto his arm frantically. “Leave me. My kids... the kids...”

Ivan stood in front of Chris and Chloe protectively and lifted Charlie up, noticing that there was a

bleeding wound on Charlie's forehead.

He realized that the situation was worse than he had anticipated.

He turned around to find Bianca on the ground and Meredith surrounded by the crowd.

They had only been surrounded by the fans inside the mall, but even passers-by began to gather

out of curiosity, even with all the bodyguards and nannies here to help, there were only six of them.

“Mama...” Chris and Chloe cowered in fear as they threw themselves into Anne's arms. They were

merely toddlers and had never seen such a chaotic scene.

Anne held them close. “It's okay. It's okay...where’s Charlie? Charlie?”

“Mama, Charlie is hurt..." Chloe sobbed.

"What...?" She let them go and reached out to find Charlie, before noticing that Charlie's head felt

wet. “What is this...” She placed her hand under her nose and instantly paled as tears fell down her

cheeks. “Blood... Ch—Charlie....h-hurry! Send him to the hospital...”

More and more people gathered around and forcing their way out might hurt Anne and the

children. In the end, lan decisively took out his gun and shot three times in a row at the sky.

Startled, the excited crowd all fell to their knees, covering their ears as they tried to comprehend

what had happened; none of them knew what they had done.

“Let's go!” Ivan carried Charlie, while the other two bodyguards picked Chris and Chloe up.

The nanny took Anne's hand as they ran out of the mall and got into the car, before hurrying

toward the hospital.

Anne kept her hand on Charlie's and mumbled in a quivering voice, “Charlie, it's going to be fine.

Mama is going to take you to the hospital. Don't be afraid. It's going to be fine..."

She desperately wished that she could see her son and hold him closer, but with her vision taken

from her, she was rendered helpless and could only wait.

Chris and Chloe remained in their mother's arms quietly with tears in their eyes, but did not dare to

cry.

The car arrived at the hospital at the fastest speed possible and Charlie was hurried into the

emergency room where Kathryn was already waiting.

Anne stood in the corridor with her hands on her two children, not daring to burst into tears as she

did not want to scare them by making them think that Charlie was in critical condition.

"It's okay. Charlie is going to be fine,” she mumbled. “Is Anthony here?”

Anthony had to be here for this.

"We've already informed Mr. Marwood and he is almost here,” Ivan said in all seriousness. “This is

our mistake. We had not anticipated for something like that to happen within such a short period of

time.”

Feeling like she was at the brink of a mental breakdown, Anne said to the nanny, Bring the children

home.”

“Mama, we want to be here with Charlie!” Chloe held onto Anne's hand, reluctant to leave.
