"He’s not capable of doing much," Justin Battleson shook his head.
Charlotte pursed her lips and then asked softly, "Then... have you seen Evelyn Curtis?"
If Leon Battleson really had a relationship with Evelyn Curtis, then when Leon returned to Druarus this ti, he would surely bring Evelyn along.
After pondering for a mont, Justin shook his head: "I didn’t see anyone with Leon. Moreover, given the current circumstances, even if Evelyn was really with him, he might not let her out."
"That’s true," Charlotte nodded, but the ntion of the na Evelyn Curtis still gave her heart palpitations.
"Don’t worry, everything is under control," Justin reassured her, noticing her concern.
Charlotte curved her lips into a smile.
However, at that mont, a cry of alarm ca from where a few children were.
"Grace, why are you getting a nosebleed?"
Hearing this, Charlotte quickly looked over. Grace seed a bit perplexed as well; she touched under her nose and indeed saw fresh blood.
"Grace!" Charlotte was startled and hurried over.
Cyrus Thompson quickly passed so tissues over to stop Grace’s bleeding.
"What happened?" Jasmine Clarkson saw this and was also worried.
Grace shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Charlotte took Grace to get cleaned up. Fortunately, the nosebleed stopped quickly, but Charlotte was still worried and intended to take Grace to the hospital for a check-up.
However, Grace tugged at the hem of Charlotte’s clothes: "It’s okay, Mommy, maybe I just bumped my nose earlier. And look, I’m not bleeding anymore, right?"
Grace’s smile blossod beautifully across her face.
Seeing that Charlotte’s brows were still furrowed with worry, Grace stepped forward and gently smoothed Charlotte’s forehead with her warm fingers.
"Mommy, don’t frown; frowning makes you less pretty."
With her hands on her hips, Grace lectured Charlotte in a very matter-of-fact manner.
Charlotte pinched Grace’s soft cheek and said with a smile, "I got it, my little princess, go play."
Grace bead with joy and nodded, then she went back to the other children.
Watching her leave, Charlotte still planned to find ti soon to take the children for a health check-up.
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, Charlotte turned to Jasmine.
"Grandma, I rember you went to the hospital a few days ago. Have your test results co back?"
Reminded by Charlotte, Jasmine smacked her palm, "I totally forgot; I didn’t ask the butler to fetch them."
"Perfect, I’ll get the report for you, Grandma, and I can also take a few of the kids to get checked out," Charlotte said with a smile.
"Grace is okay, right?" Jasmine asked, recalling Grace’s nosebleed.
"She says she doesn’t feel uncomfortable anywhere, so I believe it’s nothing serious." Charlotte turned and looked at Grace playing happily, smiling tenderly.
...
The next day, Charlotte went to the hospital to retrieve Jasmine’s dical report and scheduled various check-ups for the children. She planned to pick them up from the nursery afterward and take them directly for the examinations.
"Miss Thompson, here are all the test results."
The nurse handed over a stack of papers to Charlotte, who thanked her and began to flip through a few pages, but she wasn’t paying attention to where she was walking.
The next second, Charlotte seed to bump into sothing, stumbling backward. Fortunately, soone quickly grabbed her wrist, preventing her from falling.
"I’m sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going..."
Charlotte had barely started to apologize when a delighted voice ca from above her head.
"Is it really you, Charlotte?"
