“Do you think he heard us?” Bruce was concerned.
“I doubt so,” Bruce answered. “Jamie isn’t like Robbie. He isn’t the kind to keep things in his heart.”
“That’s true.” Bruce nodded. “We’re heading back tonight, right? Let me give Mr. Spencer a call.”
“Alright.”
Then, Bruce went back to work as Ben stood guard by Zachary’s door.
Jamie returned to his room and found two maids preparing his bath. He cleared his throat and said, “Excuse me,
ladies, you may leave. I can wash up on my own.”
“What’s wrong? You love it when we bathe you,” the maids asked with a smile.
“I’m a grown-up now. I can’t rely on you to bathe me all the time…” Jamie answered, embarrassed.
“Hehe, are you embarrassed, Jamie?” one of the maids snickered.
“Urgh yes, I am. Quit it, you’re making me blush.” Jamie hid his face in his hands. “I’m hungry. Go make me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething to eat while I take a bath.”
“Alright. We’ll do so right away.”
Jamie’s expression instantly changed as soon as the two maids left. He then called Robbie with his smartwatch.
“What is it, Jamie? Why are you calling at this hour?” Robbie asked in a sleepy voice.
“Robbie, I think Daddy’s sick,” Jamie choked. “I overheard Mr. Bruce and Mr. Ben persuading Daddy to seek
treatment…”
“Really? What’s wrong with Daddy?” Robbie asked panickily.
“I’m not sure either. But I noticed he’s lost weight and doesn’t seem as energetic as before.” Tears began to well up
at the corner of Jamie’s eyes. “Robbie, what do we do? Is Daddy going to be okay? I’m scared.”
“Don’t panic, Jamie. You should find out what disease is it first,” Robbie said calmly. “Perhaps it could be a minor
cold? Or he’s just upset because Mommy took Ellie and I with her when she left? Maybe that’s why he’s in a bad
mood?”
“But he doesn’t seem to have a cold. He isn’t sneezing nor is he down with a fever…” Jamie muttered.
“Then you need to find out what exactly is going on with him! That’s your latest mission! Find out what happened to
Daddy and report back to me!”
“Okay, I will!”
“Good. Do you still remember what I taught you? Stay calm and don’t panic in all situations…”
“Yes, I do. That’s what I did just now. Hence, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Ben weren’t suspicious of me.”
“Good. Stay calm, alright? Daddy has a strong and healthy body. Thus, it’s probably nothing serious even if he’s
sick. But, you have to make sure and let me know, alright?”
“Okay…”
Once they hung up, Jamie thought about Robbie’s word. He felt encouraged and was driven to find out the truth.
As for Robbie, he could longer go back to sleep after the call.
Robert came by with Louis to meet Mommy this morning. I believe they must have gotten what they came for

However, Daddy is sick at such times…
What should I do?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as he was lost in his thoughts. It was Charlotte. “Are you awake, Robbie?”
Robbie quickly got up to open the door and saw Charlotte, fully dressed. “Mommy, where are you going?” His heart
dropped.
“I have to make a trip to the company.” Charlotte bent over and cupped his cheeks. “Can you play with Ellie once
you wake up from your nap? Don’t forget you have an online class at three o’clock, alright?”
“Okay.” Robbie nodded obediently. “I thought you didn’t have to take care of the Lindberg Corporation’s business
matters? Why do you have to go to the company now?”
“There’s a press conference I have to attend to,” Charlotte answered briefly. “Anyways, I have to go now. Please be
a good boy while I’m away. If you need anything, go to Ms. Morgan or Mrs. Ramos.”
“Mommy…” Robbie tugged Charlotte’s sleeve. He knew what the press conference was about.
He didn’t want Charlotte to attend the press conference. Yet, he loosened his grip around her sleeve when he was
reminded of Zachary. “It’s nothing. Go on.”
