Mrs. Berry panicked as she didn’t know what to do.

However, Charlotte replied at once, “I’m here. I’ll be over right away.”

“Alright, Ms. Windt. The wind is strong outside, so remember to grab your jacket,” Mrs. Rawlston reminded warmly.

“Mmm-hmm. Thank you.”

Charlotte tried to support herself to sit up. Although she looked pale and was still sweating, her nose had stopped bleeding.

“Miss, why don’t you stay here instead.” Mrs. Berry helped her nervously. “You really don’t look good.”

 

“I’m fine. It no longer hurts.” Charlotte collected herself. “Go to my room and get me a change of clothes. There’s blood all over me now.”

“Alright. I’ll get them right away.” Mrs. Berry quickly headed upstairs to get them.

When Mrs. Berry returned, she brought with her a casual full-length dress and a cardigan.

After a change of clothes, Charlotte perked herself up before heading out.
