q“Mrs. Nacht!” Hanna held her hastily. “Are you okay?”

“Oh, Ms. Lindberg!” Lupine happened to walk in and witnessed the scene.

She immediately led Charlotte to rest on the couch.

“Hurry, have some medicinal broth.” Hanna came over with the bowl of broth she had prepared. Her eyes turning red, she asked, “Are you exhausted, or are you starving and suffering from low blood sugar?”

“Both, I suppose.”

After Lupine fed Charlotte some of the medicinal broth, the latter's cheeks turned rosy.

“Stop doing this!” Lupine huffed. “As a human being, you need to rest! Many of us are injured. Do you want to add on to the list?”

“All right. Cut the crap,” Charlotte replied weakly.

“I don't care. You have to rest tonight!” Lupine declared, her eyes turning red. “Otherwise, I'll inform the children!”

“You're bold enough to threaten me now, huh?” Charlotte remarked, covering her heating forehead lazily.

“Listen to us, Mrs. Nacht. Eat something and go to bed.” Hanna brought something over. “Here, have some oatmeal.”

Charlotte had to give in to them and sipped on the oatmeal slowly. Underneath their watchful gazes, she returned to her room to take a hot shower before going to bed.

“Heve e good rest. You're tired end need some sleep.” Lupine set beside her to keep her compeny. “Don't think too much end close your eyes.”

Closing her eyes, Cherlotte greduelly drifted off to sleep.

Lupine cerefully brushed her heir ewey from her cheeks before pulling up the covers for her. She then set eside petiently.
