Chapter 100

Chapter 100 His rank in the family has been sinking lower and lower; he used to be the top dog, but now he’s ranking even lower than the family pet.

Robb reached out and gently patted Astrid’s head with his big hand; his touch was incredibly gentle. “That’s right, Star’s a delicate little flower who can take on ten big blokes all by herself. She’s so fragile.”

“Buzz off...” When Robb took off, Astrid had just gotten out of the car with her drink.

She looked at the empty and somewhat desolate street, left speechless. She turned towards the parking lot, where Gracie still awaited her in the car.

She hadn’t even reached the car when her phone started ringing.

When she saw it was Roman who was calling, she immediately picked up, “Hello, Roman.”

“I miss you.” A soft voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding weak and feeble.

Astrid immediately felt something was off and asked, “What’s wrong, Roman? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine, just... dizzy...” Roman’s voice trailed off, and she heard a loud thud.

Then she heard Wylie and the maid’s panicked voices from the phone, “Roman!”

“Roman, wake up! Roman!”

A sudden pain shot through Astrid’s heart, and she quickly ran towards the car.

She didn’t have Wylie’s number, so she called Elio instead.

After a while, Elio picked up, “Astrid, what’s up?”

“Roman’s sick; which hospital is he in?” Astrid asked hurriedly.

Elio replied, “Wylie just called me. He’s taken Roman to the nearest hospital; I’m on my way there too.”

“Okay.” Astrid hung up the phone, immediately kicked off her high heels, and bolted towards her car.

Seeing Astrid in such a hurry, Gracie asked, “Astrid, what’s wrong?”

Seeing the color drain from Astrid’s face, Gracie didn’t dare to ask further and hurriedly got into the car.

Though there wasn’t any traffic then, the hospital was pretty far. It took them forty minutes to get there.

Elio had arrived a bit earlier. Seeing Astrid huffing and puffing, he steadied her, “Don’t panic, he’s okay.”

“He’s okay?” Astrid breathed a sigh of relief, “What happened to him?”

Elio replied, “I wasn’t home all day; Roman was alone in the playroom. He often plays alone, so no one noticed when he started to have a fever. His temperature had risen to 39.8°C when he was brought here.”

Astrid looked at Roman through the glass door of the sick room. He was hooked up to an IV and was already asleep.

But his brows were furrowed; he looked very uncomfortable.

“Oh dear, where is my little grandson... where is my little grandson?” Amanda Lampard hurriedly stepped out of the elevator. She spotted Astrid and Elio standing at the doorway of the sick room from a distance.

She immediately stopped and quickly grabbed Matthew Lampard, who was beside her.

Then she adjusted her reading glasses and suddenly said, “Lucas Lampard was right, what a beauty she is, her figure, looks, and demeanor are all top-notch; such a perfect girl, I... I think Elio is not worthy of her.”

Matthew coldly replied, “Can you drop the “I think’? He isn’t worthy!”

“But I didn’t bring any gifts; it’s our first meeting; it’s not proper to come empty-handed, right?” Amanda stood in place, unwilling to move forward with a troubled expression. After a few seconds of pondering, her eyes lit up, and she said mysteriously, “I got it; I know what to gift!”
