It took Charlotte almost twenty minutes to let Ellie finish the potion. She put away the bottle immediately and whispered, “Ellie, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here and will protect you…”

“Ms. Lindberg, Ben is coming with his men. We have to leave at once. If not, we will land ourselves in hot soup!” Lupine reminded her apprehensively.

Charlotte let go of Ellie’s hand reluctantly and gave her one last glance before she got out of the ward through the window.

“Stop!” Marino rushed into the ward and was about to lash out when he spotted a figure near the window. At that very moment, Morgan turned to look at him. When Marino caught a glimpse of her, he held his tongue at once.

“What’s the matter?” By the time Ben rushed into the ward, Morgan’s figure was already out of sight.

“Nothing. Everything is fine,” Marino replied at once.

 

Ben did not sense anything amiss after scanning the room. Hence, he only advised Marino, “Keep your guard up. We can’t take the risk to let anything happen to Ellie.”

“I get it.” Marino nodded respectfully.
