Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Already Caught.
"Annie, be a good girl, your mommy is fine," Charlotte whispered comfortingly, even she felt her nose tingle with sourness.
She gently patted Olivia’s back, but the little one showed no sign of calming down, clearly, today’s events had left her deeply traumatized.
Charlotte looked at Olivia with worry, afraid that such intense crying would harm her own body.
What if she fainted again?
Seeing Charlotte’s pained expression as she looked at Olivia, Justin moved forward a step and touched Olivia’s head.
"Annie, your mommy is no longer in danger. The doctor has treated her, she’s just been too exhausted from filming lately, and needs to rest well."
"Rest?"
Hearing these words, Olivia looked up at Justin through tear-blurred eyes.
She hiccuped but managed to stop her crying.
"Mommy needs to rest, Annie won’t cry... crying would disturb mommy..."
Olivia, such a well-behaved child, lowered her voice after hearing Justin’s words, truly not wanting to disturb the now resting Annie.
But tears continued to fall, pitter-patter, from her eyes, soon soaking Charlotte’s blouse and shoulder.
"Annie, you’re such a good girl. Your mommy would be heartsick to see you like this," Charlotte said, hugging her and placing her on the bed as Olivia’s mood somewhat stabilized.
But Olivia shook her head, grasping Charlotte’s hand.
"Annie... wants to stay with mommy... to see mommy wake up."
Saying this, Olivia ran to Annie’s bedside and clutched the blanket that covered her.
Charlotte pressed her lips together, a look of worry painted across her face.
Justin wrapped his arm around Charlotte’s shoulders, drawing her close to his chest.
Looking at Annie on the hospital bed, Charlotte felt a dull ache in her chest.
Why did Annie always have to suffer like this?
Such a gentle girl, yet treated so cruelly by the world.
Charlotte rested her forehead on Justin’s shoulder, her trembling body betraying her current emotions.
Justin said nothing, simply comforting Charlotte in silence.
Suddenly, the hospital room fell into an eerie calm, only the cold, steady sound of machinery filled the air.
It wasn’t long before the room’s door was gently opened, Oliver’s assistant peeking in.
He intended to say something, but seeing the quietness of the room, he quickly shut his mouth, directing his gaze towards Oliver.
Oliver got up from beside Annie’s bed, and as he was about to leave, he looked at Charlotte.
"Please take care of her for me."
Charlotte nodded.
She knew exactly what Oliver was off to handle.
Oliver exited the hospital room, his expression terrifyingly cold, making his assistant involuntarily shrink his shoulders.
It had been a long time since he’d seen Oliver wear such a look.
He knew what it meant.
"Where are they?"
Oliver’s voice was as cold as icy water.
"They’ve been caught."
The assistant, well-versed in Oliver’s personality after years by his side, had quickly apprehended the person responsible - Mia Carter, upon discovering her as the mastermind.
"Don’t let her die," Oliver said coldly.
"And those people in the crew."
Oliver had never been a saint, especially not when it came to matters involving Annie.
The assistant acknowledged the command but seemed to recall something.
"Mia Carter admitted to tampering with the ladder, but there’s something that doesn’t add up."
