“I’ve never heard about how Uncle Dan has kids. How did the three of them suddenly show up? Has the
DNA test been done?” asked Robbie suspiciously.
Cough! Charlotte was sipping tea at the time and almost spat out.
“Robbie, what’s a DNA test?” asked Ellie curiously.
“It’s a medical test that can determine whether two people are related by blood,” explained Robbie.
“Okay,” murmured Ellie, who still wasn’t entirely sure what that was.
“The tests are done, and they are definitely his kids,” answered Charlotte before she quickly taught her
son, “Robbie, never talk about this matter again, okay? They will be heartbroken if they overhear you.”
“Okay,” replied Robbie before he nodded and asked, “But, why are we suddenly heading to F Nation?”
“I don’t want to go to F Nation. I want to go back to H City,” requested Ellie sadly.
“I can’t really explain why we have to go there,” cooed Charlotte sweetly, “But you can trust me. It doesn’t
matter where we are. I will always take care of and love you both.”
“Is Uncle Dan facing some issue?” asked Robbie, who had long sensed that something was off.
“Err…”
“Mommy, I understand if Uncle Dan wants to send us away temporarily to keep us safe,” replied Robbie
with a straight face on, “But we don’t have to go to F Nation. We can totally return to H City.”
“I will never return to H City.”
Charlotte panicked a little. It was almost one o’clock, and they had to leave for the airport. Everyone was
waiting right outside as well.
Hence, she didn’t have the time to explain everything to them. All she could say was, “I have my own
plans. I just hope that you’ll both understand that it didn’t matter where we are. Both of you will always be
my kids, and I will always love you both.”
Robbie stopped talking. Instead, he tilted his head down sadly.
Ellie asked sadly, “Then does that mean we will never see Daddy again?”
“Didn’t I tell you? Your daddy will come pick you up forty-five days later,” cooed Charlotte sweetly as she
stroked her daughter’s face. “Okay. Be good and go get changed. We’ll be heading over to the airport
soon.”
“But we’ve lost contact with Daddy. We don’t even know how he is now,” said Ellie while sobbing a little,
“What if something had happened to him?”
Charlotte couldn’t bear to see Ellie that sad. In the end, the adult compromised and suggested, “How
about this? I’ll call him now and ask him how he’s doing.”
“Okay,” replied Ellie while nodding.
Charlotte tried dialing Zachary’s number, but as expected, he was unreachable. She called Ben
immediately after, and the line was established soon.
“Ms. Lindberg?”
Ben was surprised. He never anticipated a call from Charlotte.
Before Zachary went away to receive treatment, he gave specific instructions. They could ignore calls
from absolutely everyone, but if Charlotte called, they must pick up.
“Why is Zachary’s phone off?” asked Charlotte to get right to the point.
“Mr. Nacht is dealing with some crises in M Nation. Something happened at the headquarters, and he
had to cut off all contact to prevent anyone from spying on him,” lied Ben before he asked, “Why are you
looking for him? I will have Bruce relay the message later.”
“It’s fine. The kids just miss him,” replied Charlotte. She thought that something seemed off, but Ben was
deliberately being discreet. Hence, she was not in a position to ask for more information. She simply
requested, “Please have him return Robbie’s call when he’s free.”
“Understood. I will surely relay the message,” replied Ben respectfully.
“Thank you,” said Charlotte before she hung up. She then turned to her kids and pointed out, “You heard
that, right? Your daddy is busy working now, but he will return your call when he is free.”
“Okay,” replied Ellie as she pouted and nodded in disappointment.
“Thank you, Mommy.”
Robbie sensed that something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it, so he had no choice but
to obey his mother obediently.
