Charlotte, accompanied by Mrs. Berry, rushed to the nearest children’s hospital to get Ellie immediate medical attention. It was already twenty minutes to midnight, yet there was still a long line at the hospital.

Then, Charlotte left Ellie with Mrs. Berry and quickly get in line with the other registrants. She was extremely anxious and worried for her sickly daughter.

“I didn’t even get to check on Robbie and Jamie when I rushed out of the house with you. I wonder how they’re doing right now.” Mrs. Berry was still perturbed about the vexatious ones at home as she was feeding Ellie.

“Those two can take care of themselves, so there’s no need to fret about that.”

Charlotte was feigning to be unconcerned, but she was more worried than anyone else about Robbie and Jamie. Both of them are still toddlers. Although their bodies aren’t as frail as their younger sister, still, how can I not worry? Please be okay.

“I’ve told Fifi to keep an eye on them,” said Mrs. Berry. She then rambled on, “Fifi was acting weird today too, though, ensconcing herself inside that little cage of hers all day long. She only came out to play with Ellie at night right after you left.”

“Yeah. With Fifi by their side, they’ll be happier.”

At the same time, Charlotte was getting more and more distressed by the minute as there was still a long line of registrants ahead of her. Come on… If this keeps up, Ellie would have recovered on her own before we even get to see the doctor.

“In my days, getting a family doctor would have done the trick. There’s no registration whatsoever…” Mrs. Berry sighed.

The moment Mrs. Berry brought that up, Charlotte reminisced about her days back in the Windt family. They had a personal doctor. Even if the illness were chronic, they would just go to a private hospital to get treatment immediately, without the need to wait.
