Chapter 654
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Charlotte knew Henry was lying to Robbie. Clearly, she had to leave no matter how reluctant she was.
Gradually, she calmed down and regained her sanity.
Charlotte had seen firsthand what happened to Timothy. I canât let the kids suffer because of me.
Iâve been poisoned and might die anytime. Thereâs no way I can take care of them.
Itâs better for them to remain in the Nacht family instead of wandering around with me.
As that thought occurred to her, Charlotte nodded, her eyes sparkling with tears. âYes, heâs right. Iâm sick and need to be treated.â
âWhy did youâ¦â Robbie trailed off in confusion.
âSilly boy. It hurts to get a shot, right?â Charlotte bent down and patted his head gently. She forced out a smile and said, âIâm afraid of that so I refused to go to the hospital.â
âMommy, donât be scared.â Robbie flung his arms around her and patted her. âYouâll recover after getting a shot. Be brave!â
âMm!â Charlotte bit her lip and gave a firm nod, trying to stop herself from crying out loud.
âLook, I didnât lie to you!â Henry waved him over. âCome to me. Your daddy will make sure your mommy gets treated.â
Robbie looked at Zachary, seeking confirmation.
Zachary gave him a little push. âGo!â
Both Charlotte and Zachary had come to a tacit agreement that they shouldnât involve the kids in their matters.
Hence, they played along with Henry.
Robbie went to Henry and took his wrinkly hand.
The bodyguards stepped up and said politely, âMs. Windt, this way, please.â
Charlotte didnât fight back. She took the hem of her dress and followed them out.
When she walked past Robbie, she glanced at her son as tears rolled down her cheeks. A smile flitted across her lips as she told him, âRobbie, take good care of yourself and your siblings, alright?â
Her voice was trembling along with her heart.
She couldnât understand why the Nacht family insisted on sending her away and that Zachary, who had always been on her side, would suddenly go back on his word.
It came as a complete shock to her.
However, she knew she was powerless to resist.
She could only pray that the kids would get to live a great life in the Nacht family.
âGot it,â said Robbie as he nodded, tears glistening in his eyes. âMommy, listen to the doctor. Tonight, me, Jamie, Ellie, and Fifi will visit you in the hospital.â
At his words, Charlotte sobbed silently. She lowered her gaze and scurried out lest Robbie sensed her sorrow.
âDaddy!â Robbie called out. âWonât you go with her?â
Zachary snapped back to reality and dashed after Charlotte.
At the door, Robbie reminded him, âDaddy, take good care of Mommy.â
Zachary nodded with his back to the little boy. His eyes turned red without warning.
The boy trusted him enough to hand his mother to him, but he was going to break his promise.
Henry glanced at Spencer, who immediately caught up with them with his men.
Soon, Zachary led Charlotte out of the back door to avoid running into the guests and her kids.
âMiss!â Upon spotting Charlotte, Mrs. Berry hurried over. âWhat happened?â
Half an hour earlier, Henryâs men had brought her here.
Puzzled, she asked them what was going on, but their reply was, âJust wait here. Ms. Windt will be here soon.â
Mrs. Berryâs phone had been confiscated, so she could only wait here anxiously. She only relaxed at the sight of Charlotte.
