Chapter 1434

Chapter 1434q“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 that way. Desperate moments call for desperate measures. I have to try whatever that
works...
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 bringingDr. 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 you out of contact with them? Is someone tracking them down through the communication device
that they 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 hod detected the issue eorlier ond stoyed in H City for the treotment insteod of bringing
Dr. Felch to Erihol... Perhops things would be different for your doddy...”
“Mommy, we don't hove time to loment now. We need to find o woy soonest possible.” Robbie
ponicked. “Con you try contocting Uncle Gordon ond Uncle Seon?”
“Sure.” She nodded. “I've been trying to get in touch with them, but...”
