Chapter 1444
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1445 In His Remaining Days Everyone was busy with their own work. Although Morgan and the other female bodyguards were watching over the trio, their attention was focused on upstairs.
All of them were worried about Zachary. Thus, no one paid attention to the conversation between the three children.
After a while, things began to settle down.
However, that time around, even Raina broke down in tears. âI really donât know what else I can do. When I called Dr. Wright, she told us to prepare for the worst. Iââ
âThere has to be a way.â Ben refused to give up. âIâll give Bruce a call right away. Earlier today, he told me that Ms.
Lindberg had provided him with some new leads. Perhaps, just perhapsââ
âBen, Ms. Lindberg has returned,â Marino interjected to report Charlotteâs arrival.
Ben hurried over to receive her.
At that moment, Charlotte had just gotten out of the car. When she saw the look on the bodyguardsâ and subordinatesâ faces, her heart sank, and she dashed into the house.
âMs. Lindberg!â Ben ran into her at the staircase.
âWhat happened to him?â she inquired anxiously.
âHe fainted right after having dinner. But for now, his condition has stabilized.â His voice was quavering. âH-
However, at this rate, heâ¦â
Charlotteâs expression froze as she rushed into the bedroom. When she saw how frail Zachary looked on the bed, her body began to tremble.
âMommyâ¦â
The children, who had been led out a while back, came back in crying when they heard that their mother had returned.
âMr. Nacht fainted by the dinner table, which frightened the children,â Ben whispered.
Charlotteâs heart broke when she saw the children crying so hard to the point that they were even trembling.
Squatting down to hug them, she put on a strong front and reassured, âKids, donât cry. Daddy will definitely recover.â
Despite the childrenâs desperate attempt to stop crying, they still could not hold back their sniffles.
âMommy, is Daddy going to die?â Ellie could not help but ask.
âNo, he isnât,â Charlotte replied in a shaky voice. âDaddy will definitely get better. I will save him no matter what.â
âBut, butââ
âThere are no buts,â Robbie interrupted. With tears streaking down his cheeks, he asserted, âIf Mommy says that Daddy will recover, he definitely will. We have to have faith in Mommy!â
Covering her mouth, Ellie trembled from bawling. Even so, she did not dare to make a sound.
âItâs all my fault for being too naughty. Daddy must have been so angry with me that he has fallen sick.â Jamie was filled with remorse. âIf I behave well, will Daddy recover?â
âHe will, Jamie.â Charlotte stroked his head. Taking a deep breath, she maintained her composure and instructed, âAll right now, I have something to discuss with Mr. Ben. You should go back to your rooms.â
With that, Lupine and the maids led the children away.
Yet, as they walked, the triplets kept turning to look at her with misty eyes.
After rising to her feet, Charlotte wiped off her tears and ordered, âMrs. Rawlston, get everyone to turn in for the night. Donât worry. Everything will be fine tomorrow.â
âYes, Mrs. Nacht.â Hanna went off to carry out Charlotteâs instructions.
âMarino, stand guard outside,â Charlotte commanded.
âYes, Mrs. Nacht.â Marino nodded and left.
At that moment, only the unconscious Zachary, Raina, Ben, and Charlotte were left in the room.
âRaina, be frank with me. How much time does he still have left?â Charlotte inquired.
âI spoke to Dr. Wright on the phone today, and she mentioned that it doesnât look good,â Raina forced out. âBased on the earlier estimates, he only has fourteen days left. As the days go by, his condition will only deteriorate further.â
âIf we still canât find Francesco, the consequences will be dire.â Ben was extremely distraught. âBut now, we have run out of ideas.â
âI managed to find some clues.â Charlotte took out some of the medical books and handed them to Raina. âRaina, why donât you go through them quickly to see if theyâre of any use?â
âAlso, thereâs this.â Charlotte handed the photo over to Ben. âThis is a picture of Francesco. Can you try and see what you can find out from it?âq
