NovelEnglish“Don’t worry, we understand.” The three nurses nodded understandingly.
q“I will not say anything either.” Ellie used her chubby little hands to cover her mouth.
“What should we do then? Do we sit back and do nothing?” Jamie asked uneasily. “I’m worried about
Mr. Henry.”
“Me too…” Robbie lowered his head. “Mr. Henry treats us well. If he’s really sick, we should go and see
him.”
“Don’t worry,” Charlotte tried to comfort her children. “I will try to find out about what happened. Once I
confirm the news, I will arrange for all of you to visit him.”
“Okay,” the children nodded obediently.
“Alright, you should all eat breakfast first before heading to school.”
“Yes, Mommy.”
Then, Charlotte got changed and sent the children to the school bus.
As Jamie’s leg was still in a cast, the nurses followed them, so they could come back home together
when school was over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Charlotte returned home, she took a while to think about what to do before she decided to call
Zachary.
It was engaged.
She knew he was probably busy and did not want to bother him. Instead, she decided to talk to him
after he returned home that night.
She proceeded to tidy the house and make some soup for Mrs. Berry. Then, she was about to take a
nap when Simon suddenly called.
Pausing for a moment, she answered, “Hello?”
“Charlotte, do you have some time to spare? Can we meet?”
“I’m afraid, I’m a bit held up at the moment…”
She did not want to see them. Firstly, there was no need to do that. Secondly, she was afraid that they
would misunderstand that she ditched Luna purposely, and they would want to take revenge against
her.
“Don’t worry. We don’t have any ill intentions, but we only want to ask you some things in person,” the
other person assured.
“I have already told the police what I know. You can ask them directly.”
“Give me your phone.” At that moment, she heard Amanda’s voice. The woman was trying to control
her emotions and sound calm. “Charlotte, if you don’t wish to see me, it’s alright. I only want to ask you
a few questions. You can answer me over the phone instead.”
Charlottes gave in. “Ask away then.”
“I already understood the situation from the police, and I believe what you said was true. Back then,
when we mistreated you, you did not take revenge against us. Now, it’s even harder to believe that you
would get someone to hurt Luna. After all, even if you wanted to, you would not be able to bring
yourself to do that.”
“You sure understand me well.”
Charlotte let out a bitter laugh. If Luna had half of Amanda’s wisdom, things would not have gotten to
this point.
“Regarding the incident, there are certain things that the police refused to reveal. I wanted to ask if you
saw the people who dragged Luna into the van. Did they bully her there?” Amanda probed.
“That…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlotte felt like she was in a difficult position. She understood that the police wanted to protect the
suspect’s identity before carrying out a thorough investigation of the matter. Therefore, they did not
want to reveal the details.
As an eyewitness, it was not her position to disclose anything.
“It seems like the person who ordered it is someone I’m familiar with,” Amanda commented.
She was clever and could guess from Charlotte’s hesitation. Trying to sound her out, Amanda
muttered, “Was it Hector?”
“No,” Charlotte immediately denied.
“Then, it must be Helena then,” Amanda used the same method again.
Charlotte was stunned. When she was about to speak, Amanda already confirmed her guess. “It was
her! I knew that it was that sly b****! Our family has already ended up in this situation. Why can’t she let
Luna off? Why is she so insistent on pushing her to a dead end?”
“You should calm down…” Charlotte quickly persuaded. “This matter has yet to be investigated. You
should wait for the police to conclude it.”
“Calm down? How can you ask that of me?” Amanda howled. “My daughter was raped and suffered a
huge blow. She can’t get pregnant ever again and is mentally unstable. Her life is over…”q
