Chapter 1075: Chapter 1075: Not Just One Person
"What?" Oliver Hudson glanced at his assistant.
"Mia Carter is really scared now. She has spilled a lot of things while on set, but she said she only touched the middle layer and didn’t touch the topmost level of the ladder."
However, everyone at the scene saw clearly that it was only when Annie Anne climbed to the last level of the ladder that she fell.
"I checked the level Annie said she had tampered with, and indeed, the support was broken, but..."
The assistant paused before continuing, "But when Miss Anne climbed the ladder, she bypassed that level."
Oliver Hudson’s brows furrowed deeply.
This statement from the assistant implied there was more than one person who tampered with the ladder.
A few moments of deep thought passed through Oliver’s eyes, then he instructed the assistant to keep a close watch on Mia Carter before he turned back to the hospital room.
Inside the hospital room, the silence remained, unchanged by Oliver’s departure and return.
As time ticked by, the sky outside gradually darkened, yet Annie Anne showed no signs of awakening.
In the meantime, the doctors came for another check. Apart from her injuries, Annie Anne wasn’t in any other great danger.
If you had originally planned to stay here with Annie waiting for her to wake up, it’s getting late now, and the children are still at Stardust Garden. Plus, with Justin Battleson having left in a rush, it was time for Charlotte Thompson to go back and inform the children.
"If there’s any problem, contact us immediately."
Justin looked at Oliver, who had stood guard by Annie’s side all afternoon, without moving an inch, and spoke.
"Annie..."
Charlotte took Annie’s hand, but this time, Annie did not go with Charlotte.
"Mommy Charlotte, I want to stay here," Olivia Thompson turned to look at Charlotte, her face looking quite pale, but in the next second, she nearly fainted.
Olivia was only so old, and after experiencing such a drastic emotional turn today, it was natural for her to be exhausted, yet she still forced herself to stand by Annie’s side, making Charlotte’s heart wrench.
"Annie wants to stay. Annie wants to see Mommy wake up," Olivia pleaded with Charlotte with a desperate gaze.
And the more Olivia behaved like this, the more Charlotte’s heart ached.
"Annie..." Charlotte muttered, her lips trembling.
Olivia slightly lowered her eyelashes, whispering softly, "Daddy... will take care of me, too."
Concerned for Olivia’s wellbeing, King Samuel took her into his arms while he stood watch in front of Annie’s hospital bed.
Even though Olivia was still somewhat resistant to Oliver, she now quietly stood by his side.
Charlotte was aware that she couldn’t take Olivia away now.
"Please take care of Annie."
Charlotte could hardly bear to think that the reunion of their family of three would again be in a hospital.
Seeing Oliver solemnly nod, Charlotte finally managed to leave, reluctantly.
"It’s all my fault, why did I have to secretly bring Annie here?"
In the car, Charlotte regretted her actions of the day.
Earlier, when she had called Annie, Annie had told her not to bring Olivia.
"Annie knew you were going to meet Annie Anne, she would follow you no matter what."
Justin stretched out his arms, pulling Charlotte into his embrace.
"How can we let Annie, just a small child, bear all this?"
Charlotte felt as if her heart had been scooped out, leaving behind a bloody hollow that hurt with every breath.
