Chapter 1085: Chapter 1085: Mommy’s Health is the Most Important
Afterward, Olivia gathered around Annie’s side, handing her things, which left Annie no choice but to squeeze Olivia’s cheeks in resignation.
"All right, sweetheart, take a break. Mommy has been watching you running around for so long."
"But Mommy..."
Olivia wanted to speak or say something else, but Annie rubbed the soft meat on her cheek, making Olivia’s words somewhat muffled.
"If you tire yourself out, wouldn’t Mommy be at fault? You’ve been staying by Mommy’s bedside without proper rest, Mommy is simply heartbroken."
"But Mommy’s health is most important."
Olivia grasped Annie’s palm, gently rubbing her cheek against her hand.
The sound of the hospital room door opening drew the attention of the three people inside.
Justin Battleson walked in, nodded at Annie on the bed, and set down the things he was carrying.
"It’s getting late, Charlotte, you and Justin should head back," said Annie, knowing Justin came to pick up Charlotte Thompson.
"Annie, you should go back with Mommy Charlotte, too."
But Olivia shook her head, her expression full of refusal, "No, Annie doesn’t want to go back, Annie wants to stay here and take care of Mommy."
"There are doctors and nurses in the hospital, Annie doesn’t need to worry. Moreover, you can’t rest well here, and it will make Mommy feel heartbroken. Besides, you’ve already been in the hospital for a long time with Mommy. Annie can come see Mommy again tomorrow."
Touching Olivia’s hair with affection, Annie spoke earnestly.
"But..." Olivia mumbled, but before she could finish, Annie pressed a finger to her lips.
"Isn’t Annie listening to Mommy?"
"Annie listens to Mommy. Mommy, please don’t be angry, then Annie will come to see you tomorrow..." Olivia looked up at Annie with wet eyes.
"Alright, Mommy will be waiting for Annie."
As Annie’s words fell, Justin Battleson’s cell phone rang with a video call.
He glanced at the note, chose to answer, and in the next second, Hank Thompson’s voice came through.
"Dad, have you reached the hospital? Where is godmother?"
These children hadn’t gone to the hospital together at Charlotte Thompson’s request but were continuously worried after knowing about Annie’s injury. Thus, as soon as Justin Battleson went to pick up Charlotte Thompson, they wanted to check on Annie through a video call.
"Yes, yes, where is godmother? Is her injury severe?"
"Where’s Annie?"
Several children crowded in front of the camera, speaking all at once.
Charlotte Thompson was right next to Justin Battleson; after he answered the call, the children also saw Charlotte Thompson in the camera.
Taking the cell phone that Justin Battleson handed to her, Charlotte Thompson walked over to Annie’s bedside and turned the camera towards her.
"Godmother!"
This time, the center of the frame was still Grace Thompson who, upon seeing Annie, pressed forward as if she wanted to jump right out of the camera.
"Godmother, how are you?"
"Godmother, we’re sorry we couldn’t visit you."
Watching the handful of little heads crowded in the camera, Annie smiled softly.
"I’m fine, it’s just some minor injuries, don’t worry about me."
The little ones naturally knew Annie was saying those words to comfort them; each of them wore concern on their faces.
