q“Good. Now, come on over and have some snacks.” Jamie eased the situation and ended the topic.
As an elder brother, he was always doting on his three little sisters.
“Hmm... Jamie did it again. He's the one spoiling them instead of teaching them a lesson.” Ellie shook her head
helplessly and proclaimed like an adult, “I have no choice but to be the bad guy here.”
“Haha! It must be hard on you.” Charlotte caressed her face and urged, “Go ahead and have some snacks.”
“All right, I'll bring them to wash their hands first.” Ellie had become very responsible ever since she was made a big
sister.
Jamie assisted her to take care of the three younger girls whereas Robbie headed upstairs with his laptop. The
latter even requested the maid to deliver some snacks to his room.
“Robbie, don't you want to hang out and eat with us?” Charlotte was concerned.
“My laptop is running out of battery. I need to go back to my room and work on something,” Robbie replied briefly
and then darted to his room.
Charlotte was well aware that he was anxious about Francesco. Her heart ached when she saw him behaving in

Charlotte took over the snacks from the maid and decided to personally deliver them to Robbie.
When she opened the door, Robbie was typing speedily on his keyboard. He heard someone coming in and simply
responded without lifting his head, “Just leave them on the table. Thanks.”
Charlotte did exactly what he asked for, but she did not leave the room. Instead, she sat down quietly next to him.
“You may leave...” He stopped when he raised his head. “Oh, it's you, Mommy.”
“I came to bring you some snacks.” Charlotte gazed at him lovingly. “Don't be so stressed. Have some snacks
before continuing your work.”
“Okay.” Robbie saved his document, washed his hands, and returned to eat.
“Robbie, how is the lead on your aunt?” Charlotte brushed some hair off his forehead.
“Yes, I am. I could clearly see the clues right below my nose, but I keep getting stuck at the same spot.” Knitting his
brows, Robbie vented his frustration.
“Daddy's health is getting worse. I heard from Mr. Ben that he has only sixteen days left to live. During this critical
period, we must locate Francesco. But first, we must find Aunt and contact Uncle Dan via her. Then, we'll be able to
get to the doctor. We're running out of time...”
“Don't get too worked up, Robbie,” Charlotte comforted him, “Mr. Ben and Mr. Bruce are coming up with a solution,
and so am I. This is not your burden to bear for you're only a child. You just need to do your best.”
“But I want to save daddy...” Robbie choked up as he thought about his father's illness. “It wasn't easy for the both
of you to make up. Now that your wedding is just around the corner, Jamie, Ellie, and I are going to have a happy
family soon. I don't want to lose daddy at this juncture, he...” Tears streaked his little face.
“Oh, Robbie!” Charlotte hugged him tightly. Her heart wrenched seeing him so downcast. “It's all my fault. If only I
had detected the issue earlier and stayed in H City for the treatment instead of bringing Dr. Felch to Erihal...
Perhaps things would be different for your daddy...”
“Mommy, we don't have time to lament now. We need to find a way soonest possible.” Robbie panicked. “Can you
try contacting Uncle Gordon and Uncle Sean?”
“Sure.” She nodded. “I've been trying to get in touch with them, but...”
Charlotte was in a dilemma. If I don't reach out to them, Zachary's life is at stake, and we'll lose our last trace of
hope. If I do, I might get Danrique implicated in the process.

are using?” It was a piece of cake for Robbie to see through the dilemma Charlotte was in.
“Yup.” She nodded. “It's been an extreme challenge to do so lately. Anyway, I'll try my luck and make a trip to
Mount Phoenix.”
“Oh, Robbie!” Chorlotte hugged him tightly. Her heort wrenched seeing him so downcost. “It's oll my foult. If only I
