Chapter 1130
You Hit My Heart
Military Staff House.
Several teams of men with loaded guns patrolled back and forth at the
Military Staff House, keeping a firm watch on all those people inside.
In front of the Heath residence, six soldiers guarded the door, and all of
them were Otisâ cronies.
Inside the guest room on the first floor, Charlotte's eyes were slightly
closed. She was leaning on the side of the bed, her face was gaunt,
and her lips were pale without a trace of blood. She sometimes
frowned, and sometimes sighed. The torment of the illness made her
lose her old brightness. In just a few days it seemed like she had aged
many years.
Suddenly, she coughed violently and never stopped. She almost
thought she would die from it.
Tommy, the personal escort, heard it from the outside and rushed in
with a cup of hot water.
"Miss Charlotte, drink some water to wet your throat while Jane goes to
wash your sheets and clothes." He let out a sigh.
Charlotte just took her cough medicine and still the coughing never
stopped. He had no idea what had happened to her.
The military overhaul happened overnight and no one told him what
was going on.
Otis called him in to keep an eye on Charlotte and also hired a
caregiver, Jane.
When he first arrived, Charlotte had a lot of blood coming out of her
body every day, staining the sheets and clothes, and Jane, the
caregiver, was responsible for changing her clothes and cleaning her
body.
He spoke to the guards outside several times, yet they all looked
indifferent.
He had to take out some of the spare medicine stored here and give
Charlotte some anti-inflammatory medicine and cough reliever.
In the last two days, the bleeding finally decreased, but Charlotte's face
also looked extremely bad.
Charlotte reluctantly straightened up, took the glass of water from
Tommy and took a few sips.
The warm water flowing down her throat made her feel better.
"Thanks." She gave a reluctant smile.
In the Military Staff House, Tommy was the only one who was loyal to
her.
Although Tommy initially followed Cecelia, Tommy had been loyal to her
since Cecelia assigned him to her. She had few contacts within the
military, so she was informed through Tommy.
She sure knew what happened to her own body.
Undoubtedly, she did not have a clean miscarriage. After that, she had
a lot of nightmares every day, and she did not have any supplements
for her body.
Fortunately, after her miscarriage, she did not have a high fever,
otherwise it would have triggered a puerperal infection, and she might
have got killed easily by that.
But she was too weak, and after she caught a cold at night, she started
coughing, and the more she coughed, the worse it got.
"Miss Charlotte ..." Tommy looked sadly at Charlotte and choked up,
"Just talk to Mr. Robertson properly ... how did ... how did you get into
this ..."
Charlotte's eyes dimmed, "Huh."
Otis was intent on torturing her.
To have Tommy here to take care of her was the bottom line for Otis.
Of course, she was well aware that Otis was only doing this to cover his
tracks and make it appear to the outside world that everything was fine.
âI'm fine. I'll be fine after I get some rest.â Charlotte suddenly tugged on
Tommy's arm, "How's my mom doing? Do you know? And my dad?"
Tommy shook his head, "All I know is that Ms. Cecelia is being treated
in a secret hospital and that the general is being treated for a sudden
heart attack.â
"What secret hospital had they sent my mother to?" Charlotte asked
again.
