Chapter 918

Robbie was in despair and let out a resigned sigh. He turned to look at the tablet on the desk and was about to use it. Even so, he held himself back as something came into his mind.

No, I shouldn’t take the risk. It is the Lindberg family’s tablet! Even though their technology is not comparable to Divine Corporation, I bet they have no problem installing anti-theft software on it. I might land myself in deep water if I access any app installed. Well, I can only rely on Fifi now. It is a good sign that the eagle is willing to be summoned by me now. Other than that, the glint of hostility seems to have vanished from its eyes. Hmm, I must grab the opportunity to train it well. I’m convinced that sooner or later, it will be able to understand my words like Little Fifi! By then, it will be able to run an errand for me!

Robbie started to see rays of hope at the thought.

The first move right after Lindberg Corporation penetrated the domestic market was to get the contract of the South Sea project signed.

Ever since Charlotte won the bid for territorial waters at the auction with thirty billion, it took them more than one month to prepare for this. Finally, it was the day for the long-awaited opening ceremony. On top of that, it was estimated that more than seven hundred media agencies worldwide would witness the official launching of the mega project.

The grand ceremony of the opening day would be held in South Sea Hotel at two o’clock in the afternoon. Thus, Charlotte stepped out earlier to the hotel to make the necessary arrangements.

In the car, Charlotte stared out of the window and seemed to be lost in her thought. The moment Danrique’s car vanished from her view, she shifted her gaze away and instructed, “Head to Kindness Hospital now.”

“Ms. Lindberg, you have to put anything else aside as the ceremony for the opening day will start very soon. If it turns out to be a success, Mr. Lindberg will return to Erihal soon. By then, you will be able to visit Ellie at the hospital at any time. Let’s hold back and focus on the ceremony for the time being.” Lupine tried to talk her into changing her mind.

“Don’t make me say it again! Go to the hospital now!” Charlotte could barely wait another second. She had been bottling up her emotions and suppressing her agitation, waiting for the ideal moment to take action.

Her mind was preoccupied with Ellie at the moment; her heart wrenched at how her beloved daughter was suffering. Whatever mega project, power, and social status were nothing to her.

Lupine and Morgan exchanged looks with each other. They had no choice but to give in to her instruction.

Morgan turned the car around at once and sped off toward Kindness Hospital.

Meanwhile, Charlotte glanced at her watch nervously. It’s already fifteen minutes after twelve! We are running out of time! I hope I will make it in time…

The car was already accelerating at the maximum speed, yet Charlotte was still urging Morgan. “Hurry up!”

“We are at the maximum speed now,” Morgan replied resignedly.

Charlotte could scarcely breathe as they were racing against time. They had to rush to the hospital to have a look at Ellie secretively before rushing back to South Sea Hotel by two o’clock in the afternoon.

After a while, the car pulled to a stop by the street near Kindness Hospital.

Charlotte instructed, “Lupine and Morgan, go with me. The rest of you, stay here and wait for us.”

The three of them sneaked into the hospital via the back door and managed to grab three sets of doctor’s uniforms. They changed into the uniforms swiftly to disguise as doctors and sneaked into the children’s ICU.

Fortunately, Charlotte had bribed someone in the hospital earlier and located Ellie’s ward. Apart from that, they could get to the children’s ICU effortlessly after knowing about the ways around the hospital.

She gestured to Morgan to distract the bodyguards and nurses outside Ellie’s ward. Next, she sneaked into it with Lupine without hesitation.

Ellie was lying motionless on the bed; her usual rosy cheeks were now as pale as a sheet. Apart from that, her delicate hands were full of tiny needle marks, and she was intubated. Her body was even attached to various types of tubes connected to the medical equipment.

“Ellie…” Charlotte was grief-stricken; her tears flowed down her cheeks in an instant. Cupping her hand over her mouth, she started sobbing her heart out.

Charlotte used to think that she was a tough woman after going through all the hardships in life. Nonetheless, she had to clutch her chest as she endured the stabbing pain which was driving her insane.

“How did this happen? She was still fine yesterday!” Lupine felt the tingle in her heart; tears were welling up in her eyes.

“Ellie, I won’t let anything happen to you.” Charlotte shuddered as she carried Ellie up carefully and let her drink from a bottle.

“Ms. Lindberg, what are you doing? This is the potion to prolong your lifespan!” Lupine’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Shut up!” Charlotte continued to place the potion near Ellie’s mouth, hoping she could swallow more.

Nevertheless, she had only managed to let Ellie swallow a small portion before she heard footsteps outside the ward. She signaled to Lupine, hinting her to take prompt action.
