Take Charge 3
When they arrived at the hospital, Charlotte brought Lupine to visit Ben in the ICU first.
After three days of emergency treatment, the doctor announced, “The patient is no longer in critical
condition. However, since he inhaled a lot of toxic fumes after being shot, his situation is quite dire. It’s
possible that…”
“What?” asked Lupine anxiously.
“He might never wake up,” continued the doctor with a frown. “We’ll need to observe him for a longer
period to be certain of his condition.”
Lupine was appalled to hear that, so much so that she staggered to her feet, swaying a little.
Charlotte quickly grabbed her and consoled, “Don’t worry, there must be a solution. I’ve already asked
Raina to invite Dr. Wright over. If there’s hope for Olivia, there’s hope for Ben too.”
The overwhelming sorrow made it impossible for Lupine to say a single word. Hugging Charlotte, she
burst into tears.
She had always been much calmer and stronger than Morgan.
However, she could not control her emotions anymore.
She regretted not being nicer to Ben in the past and not spending more time with him. Instead, she kept
bullying and ignoring him. Lupine was truly afraid that he would never wake up. In that case, there would
be no way for her to make amends to him.
“He’ll definitely get better. Trust me!” Charlotte patted her back and reassured her, “I’m here for you.
Don’t be scared!”
As of then, Charlotte was everyone’s pillar of support.
Unfortunately, there was no one for her to rely on.
After visiting Ben, Charlotte went to check on Ellie.
The doctor said Ellie’s injuries were not severe, but she sustained a minor concussion from the head
injury. He also explained that she had yet to regain consciousness because she was heavily frightened
and inhaled too much smoke.
Gazing at Ellie, who was lying on the bed, Charlotte felt her heart aching terribly. Ellie was the weakest
among the three children, so she had always been particularly protective of her.
Yet, over the past few years, accidents always befell Ellie.
Firstly, Cynthia poisoned her, then Sharon kidnapped her and held her captive. That time around, she
was injured in a fire.
Remorse ate away at Charlotte. She despised herself for failing to protect her child well.
“Don’t be too worried, Ms. Lindberg. Ellie will be fine,” consoled Raina softly. “From a medical
perspective, she’s not in critical danger. The biggest reason why she’s still unconscious is that she was
too traumatized. She’ll be fine two days later.”
“When will Dr. Wright arrive?”
Charlotte had no time or energy to be sad. All she could think of was to deal with the problem at hand.
“She’ll arrive tonight,” said Raina. “I’ve already reached an agreement with her. She’ll be staying in H City
for the long-term, at least until Ellie and Ben have fully recovered.”
“Okay.” Charlotte nodded. Patting Raina’s shoulder, she said, “I’ll leave everything in the hospital to you.
Thanks in advance.”
“It’s what I should do.” When Raina spoke, she sounded like she was on the verge of tears. “Although I
can’t help you with Mr. Nacht, I can still help you with Ben, Ellie, and the rest…”
“Ben’s injuries are quite severe. You and Dr. Wright must treat him carefully,” exhorted Charlotte.
“Don’t worry,” Raina promised. “Although Ben’s situation is quite grave, I think there’s still hope. You can
just leave this to me and go ahead and deal with the other matters.”
“And Marino…”
“Marino’s injuries are only external. There’s no need to worry about him.”
“That’s good.”
After settling everything in the hospital, Charlotte went to visit Spencer in Garden Villa instead of heading
straight to the office.
Ever since Zachary went missing, Spencer fell ill and had been bedridden for a few days.
Although Johann also fell sick, he had forced himself to head to the office the previous day. In
comparison, Spencer seemed to be in a worse situation.
Charlotte had the right to helm Divine Corporation, but those in Nacht Group’s headquarters were still
unconvinced of her abilities. Hence, she needed Spencer to take charge first.
Those troublemakers in the board of directors were all from the headquarters.
Therefore, Charlotte needed to get Spencer to go with her.
