Chapter 572


    "What happened to Mommy?" Jamie looked at Charlotte in puzzlement.


    "I guess Mommy must be having an upset stomach and needs to poo. I''m always like that, too." Ellie


    "Daddy, did you quarrel with Mommy?" Robbie asked abruptly with his brows furrowed. "Mommy


    seems to be unhappy."


    Zachary exined patiently to the kids, "No, we didn''t quarrel. Maybe she''s not feeling well. Let me


    check on her. You guys go ahead and have fun."


    "Alright." The kids nodded obediently.


    Zachary let Mrs. Rawlston and the three nurses apanied the kids to the garden. Then, he darted


    toward the washroom and yelled as he knocked lightly on the door, "Charlotte! Are you all right?"


    "Anything?" Charlotte gritted the word out with great difficulty. She broke into a cold sweat and slumped


    on the floor, enduring the excruciating pain. She was too feeble to say anything else; there was a sense


    of weariness in her voice.


    "Are you all right?" Zachary asked again, sensing something strange in her voice.


    "I''m just having an upset stomach..." Charlotte forced herself to sound as natural as possible. "Don''t


    worry about me. You go ahead and apany the kids first."


    "Alright."


    As Zachary did not have any experience staying under the same roof with women, he did not know


    how to read a woman''s mind.


    He really thought that Charlotte was just having a normal upset stomach and needed to answer


    nature''s call. It was quite embarrassing for both of them if he continued to stand outside the washroom


    and ask further. Hence, he decided to give her some space and just walked away.


    At the moment, Charlotte was writhing in pain on the floor.


    As time went by, the unbearable pain on her right arm spread gradually to her right shoulder. Even the


    right side of her head was in pain now...


    Meanwhile, Mrs. Berry started to wonder why it took Charlotte so long to join them in the garden. She


    instinctively stepped into the house to look for her. "Where is Miss?" she asked the maids when there

    was still no sign of Charlotte.


    "She''s in the washroom," she replied.


    "She''s in there for such a long time?” Mrs. Berry started to sense something amiss and ran hastily


    toward the washroom. She knocked on the door while yelling, "Miss, are you inside? Miss..."


    There was no response. Mrs. Berry twisted the door handle anxiously, yet it was locked from the other


    side.


    Instantly, her face turned pale. She was about to knock herself on the door with full force.


    At the same time, the door was suddenly opened.


    Mrs. Berry almost lost her bnce and bumped into the wall.


    She managed to bnce herself and turned to look at Charlotte. To her astonishment, Charlotte was


    lying on the floor. Her face was as pale as a sheet, and she was drenched in sweat.


    "Miss!" Mrs. Berry panicked and quickly helped her to sit up.


    "Shh... don''t let anyone hear you..." Charlotte signaled and whispered at her weakly.


    "Miss, w-what happened to you?" Mrs. Berry started to quiver. "Let me call... Dr. Langhan now..." she


    said incoherently.


    "Don''t call her!" Charlotte gripped her hand and stopped her. "Just help me back to your room first. I''ll


    be fine after having a rest there."


    Mrs. Berry helped her up at once.


    Charlotte was too weak to stand, so she leaned on Mrs. Berry.


    Mrs. Berry helped her out from the washroom and headed slowly toward her bedroom. Fortunately, all


    the other maids were upied so none of


    them discovered anything.


    Mrs. Berry''s heaved a sigh of relief when they reached her bedroom. She let Charlotte lie down on her


    bed and closed the door hastily. After that, she poured some warm water for her.


    After taking a sip of the warm water, Charlotte was still in pain and did not have any strength to move.


    Mrs. Berry brushed her hair aside and wiped the sweat off her forehead. Looking at Charlotte''s piteous


    condition, her heart ached as she asked anxiously, "What''s the matter with you? You''re not feeling


    well? Why don''t you see a doctor?"


    "I was poisoned. It''s useless to see doctor. Dr. Langhan had carried out a full body checkup for me, yet


    nothing could be traced..." she smiled bitterly at Mrs. Berry.


    "What? You have been poisoned? Don''t scare me! What type of poison is that?” Mrs. Berry was


    astonished.


    "I''ve no idea..." Charlotte held her hand and replied weakly, "Mrs. Berry, looks like I need to leave for a


    while. I''ll try to see if I cane across any TCM doctor who is able to treat me."


    "Alright. Let me tell Mr. Zachary..."


    "No! Don''t tell him about this!" Charlotte grabbed hold of her arm anxiously before she could finish her


    sentence.
