Chapter 196
As they passed by Whitney's Place, Wrenna stopped the car.
“Give me a moment. My daughter loves drinking pumpkin soup from this stall. I'm going to buy some for her.” After Wrenna said that, she got out of the car.
However, she did not drive Harold and Margarette to the hospital right after buying the pumpkin soup. Instead, she brought them back to the high-end residential area near Midaronto River where she lived.
Just as Harold was confused as to why Wrenna had brought them to her house, the latter brought out a military uniform and a badge from the room.
“This outfit was my brother's. He had sacrificed himself on the battlefield, and his comrade handed it to us. Put this on to meet Charlotte,” said Wrenna sadly.
Harold remained calm when he looked at the military uniform. However, when he saw the badge, a gleam flashed past his eyes.
He recognized the badge as it was endowed by the intelligence department of Eagle Special Operations Unit that used to work under him.
Members from the Eagle Special Operations Unit were special to Harold, as they were made up of people that had fought alongside him in the underground back then.
They felt obliged to lend a hand when their country was in danger. Thus, they followed Harold and became soldiers.
All of the soldiers, including The Four, had fought alongside Harold ever since they were in the underground circles.
Harold had led all his comrades to the battlefield, but not all of them survived the war.
It was then that he realized Wrenna was the younger sister of one of his comrades that fought alongside him during the war.
Thus, he could not turn a blind eye to the situation that Wrenna and Charlotte were in.
Harold saluted solemnly at the military uniform and badge before putting them on.
By the time the trio got to the hospital, it was already seven.
They went straight to the hospital's VIP ward.
When they arrived, the nurse practitioner that Wrenna had hired was feeding five-year-old Charlotte dinner.
“I don't want to eat. I want Mommy! I want Mommy!”
They heard the cries of a little girl from within the ward.
When they entered the ward, Harold saw a little girl with delicate facial features sitting on the hospital bed.
Her face was pale and she did not look as energetic as other kids her age.
Charlotte was throwing a tantrum and refused to eat her food. She kept asking for her mother.
“Char, stop messing around. Look who's here to see you,” Wrenna said as she walked into the ward.
Charlotte stopped throwing a tantrum and lifted her head quickly to look at the door.
She realized that apart from Wrenna and Margarette, there was a man clad in military uniform standing behind them.
“Are you my daddy?” questioned Charlotte timidly after rubbing her eyes and seeing that the military uniform and badge Harold was wearing were exactly the same as the one Wrenna had frequently shown her.
On the way there, Harold had already prepared himself mentally. However, after hearing Charlotte address him as “Daddy,” he still stiffened up.
Although she wasn't his daughter, Harold still felt an inexplicable sensation spread through his body.
“What are you waiting for? Hurry up. Go and give her a hug,” Margarette reminded him as she tugged his shirt.
Harold finally regained his senses after being reminded by Margarette. He walked over to Charlotte's bed.
“Daddy's here to see you, Char. Why won't you listen to the nurse and eat?” questioned Harold, feeling sorry for the frail-looking girl. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you're really my daddy, would you accompany me to the kindergarten tomorrow?” Charlotte asked tentatively though her eyes were gleaming with excitement.
