Chapter 1574
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1574 I Want Mommy Gordon burst into laughter. âThatâs what we thought too. In this world, only Francesco could subdue Mr. Lindberg.â
After making that remark, he instantly covered his mouth with his hand. âOops. I hope no one else heard what I said. Mr. Lindberg will punish us for badmouthing her.â
Charlotte responded with a laugh.
âIâm gonna go now. Keep in touch.â
âAll right.â
After Gordon left, Charlotte began to think of Danriqueâs relationship with Francesca. I canât believe Danrique has fallen in love with Francesca. How does she look? I canât wait to see her in person!
âMs. Lindberg.â Lupine knocked on the door and came in with a simple breakfast. âEverythingâs ready. Come and grab something to eat. You need to get some sleep after this.â
âOkay.â Charlotte walked over to the couch and said, âCome. Join me.â
âMe?â Lupine was taken aback by the invitation. Charlotte had always treated her and Morgan like her sisters, but she had never dined with Charlotte in such a manner.
âSit.â Charlottesâ expression turned grim, and she ordered Lupine to sit down.
âOkayâ¦â Lupine felt awkward but had no choice but to sit down and eat with Charlotte.
âYouâve worked very hard in the last couple of days.â Charlotte gave her a piece of chipolata. âYouâve been staying by my side all this while and didnât get a chance to visit Ben, even though the hospital is just a stoneâs throw away.â
Charlotte might have said that in a calm voice, but deep in her heart, she felt sorry for Lupine as she knew how much Lupine cared for Ben.
She also noticed Lupine had always looked in the hospital buildingâs direction during her free time. Yet, Lupine still chose to accompany her and tried not to think of Ben.
Charlotte, who had been observing Lupine all this while, could not help but feel sorry for her.
âItâs my duty to be here for you,â Lupine said steadily.
âSilly girl.â Charlotte looked at her and sighed. âLetâs find out if Francesco is in Southridge tonight. Once we ascertained her whereabouts, we should be able to rescue both Zachary and Ben.â
âReally?â Lupineâs eyes sparkled with hope for a second before she expressed her concern. âDr. Langhan mentioned that Dr. Felch is good at treating patients who have been poisoned with traditional medicine. I suppose she wouldnât have the expertise to provide a cure for Ben, right?â
âThatâs not the case,â Charlotte said and shook her head. âHayley told me that Dr. Felch told Francesco to leave because she wanted to study modern medicine and see if she could integrate it into traditional medicine. At that point, Dr. Felch was not a fan of her aspiration.â
âBut looking at the situation now, they should be fine, as Francesco is a medical professional who has experienced the best of both worlds,â Charlotte explained.
âThatâs great!â Lupine was thrilled to hear that. âBen has been lying in bed for two weeks now, and there was nothing Dr. Wright could do. Letâs hope Francesco could find a cure for him.â
âI have faith in her.â Charlotte patted Lupineâs shoulder. âEnjoy your breakfast now. You must be famished too.â
âOkay.â
Just when they were about to dig in, they heard the childrenâs calling out, âAunt Charlotte!â
In a matter of seconds, two children barged into the study.
âBeta, Gamââ Before Charlotte could react, the two girls hurtled over and nearly pushed her to the couch.
âItâs okay, girls. Itâs okay. Iâm here. Donât cry.â Charlotte comforted the two girls.
âBut Iâm scaredâ¦â Beta could hardly speak clearly. âI want Mommy. Aunt Charlotte, can you help me find my mommy?â
Gamma pouted, and tears rolled down her cheeks. âI want Mommy tooâ¦âq
