Chapter 1226

Charlotte felt sorry for making Dr. Felch run around with her, especially at his old age.

Still, it would be far worse to leave him and Danrique's children at the manor while she traveled to Pillere alone; after all, her relationship with the Laurents was, at best, strained.

Louis was as loving as ever toward her, but Robert and Sherlyn had begun to behave differently around her.

Charlotte knew that Danrique's continued absence as the wedding approached complicated matters.

Robert and Sherlyn had probably begun to assume that Danrique's agreement to the marriage was no more than a safety net for Charlotte and her children.

They might even be beating themselves up for allying with the wrong family now that the Lindberg Corporation was in trouble while the Nacht Group had successfully made a comeback.

If the Lindberg Corporation toppled, they would have nowhere to turn to after Sherlyn's irredeemable behavior toward Zachary.

They would have lost more than they had expected.

While Robert and Sherlyn's behavior was understandable, it spoke volumes about their lack of compassion.

Charlotte could not believe how she had ever thought of Louis' family as noble and sincere people. I must've been blind.

She went to the loft to tell Dr. Felch about her plans to go to Pillere.

He seemed confused as he asked, "Aren't you and Sir Louis getting married in three days? Why are you heading to Pillere early? Did something happen?"

Charlotte knew she would eventually have to come clean about her motives. "To tell you the truth, Zachary came by a couple of days ago and brought our children away. I'd like to talk to him in Pillere about it." "All right." Dr. Felch smiled in response. "I'm always in this loft preparing medicine when I'm not treating anyone, and I've been sorely unaware of the happenings in the manor."

She eked out regretfully, "I'm sorry for forcing you to travel again, Dr. Felch. After I've settled things in Pillere, I promise I'll send you home."

"Are there direct flights from Arkfield? I can fly back myself." Dr. Felch had been planning on returning home for a while now.

"You're thinking of leaving now? But I haven't been able to thank you properly for your service yet," Charlotte said uneasily.

The doctor merely smiled and replied, "There's plenty of time for that. You and Ellie have almost recovered, so there's no need for me to stay any longer."

Just then, his thoughts drifted to Zachary. "I do recall Zachary falling sick some time ago. Is he feeling better now?"

Clueless about his illness, Charlotte answered, "He lost a lot of weight when I saw him last, though he seemed to be in good spirits. I guess he has recovered."

"That's wonderful." Dr. Felch nodded before adding, "I'll get going then; the two of you have almost completed your courses of medication anyway. Please feel free to visit me in Phoenix City if you require my services in the future."

"Okay, I'll handle your travel arrangements right away."

Charlotte had Morgan hire a private jet for Dr. Felch. There were no routes directly connecting Arkfield to Phoenix City, and upon further discussion, Dr. Felch decided to transit in H City.

He wanted to pay his respects to the late Richard Windt and visit some friends. He also insisted that flying home from H City afterward would not be a hassle.

Charlotte assigned two bodyguards and two maids to accompany Dr. Felch, Sam, and Hayley to the airport. She instructed them to take care of the doctor and ensure his safe return to his home in Phoenix City.

After settling Dr. Felch's travel arrangements, Charlotte was ready to depart for Pillere with Danrique's kids in tow.

Her convoy began approaching the gates of the manor, only to be stopped a moment later by bodyguards from the Laurent family. "Apologies, Ms. Lindberg, but you cannot leave the manor without Sir Robert and Lady Sherlyn's permission."

Charlotte was furious. They must've told their staff that only Dr. Felch was allowed to leave.
