Zachary had just reached the hospital when his phone rang. He was slightly taken aback.
This number… It has to be Charlotte.
His leg was still in the air when he retracted them and went back into his car to take the call. “Hello.”
“Where are you?” asked Charlotte to get right to the point.
“Home, why?” asked Zachary.
“I want to meet up,” said Charlotte, “See you in Sultry Night at ten tonight.”
“Sure, see you tonight,” replied Zachary as he checked his watch.
After hanging up the call, Zachary replayed Charlotte’s words in his mind repeatedly. He wondered why she asked
to meet him that night…
She had probably met up with Olivia, so she should know what happened back then. Does she simply want to know
who I am and where I stand?
That’s probably it.
“Mr. Nacht, you have a meeting with Ms. Blackwood tonight,” reminded Ben softly, “It’s at six in the restaurant in
Storm Hotel.”

he made things clear with her.
“Understood,” replied Ben, who didn’t say anything else.
The group headed towards the hospital. Just then, a strong wind howled at them and swept up some dust.
Zachary narrowed his eyes and looked at the sky. Looks like a storm is brewing.
“It’s the rainy reason, so it’s natural for the weather to be like that,” said Ben. He knew what Zachary was thinking,
so he comforted, “You haven’t slept well in days. Let’s take a break after the issue in the hospital is settled.”
“Okay,” replied Zachary. Truth was, he hadn’t been feeling well that day. Thinking back, it had been four days since
he had a good night’s sleep. He only slept a few hours, and even the strongest man would have trouble keeping it
up.
Still, he had to deal with Henry’s matter first.
Zachary spent the entire day busying away in the hospital. Henry’s condition was still unstable, even though his life
was no longer threatened after surviving on the night before. In fact, his illness acted up several times that day.
The team of experts that the hospital gathered never left his side and guarded the ward the entire time.
Henry’s condition finally stabilized when evening rolled by, and the doctors could finally sigh a breath of relief.
Spencer, who had been awake for over twenty-four hours, slumped down on the chair.
“Mr. Spencer, you should go rest. Bruce can take care of things here. We can’t afford to have you down at a crucial
moment like this,” said Zachary.
“I am too old to be useful now,” sighed Spencer sadly.
He was almost eighty years old, so he couldn’t handle the stress, even though he was pretty healthy.
“Mr. Hooters got a room ready for you. You can rest there and come back over after you’ve slept.”
Zachary gestured with his hand to get Bruce to take Spencer to the room.
Bruce hurried back after helping Spencer settle down. He had a few men with him to help keep guard outside the
ward.
Everyone had to be alert at that crucial moment, and no one dared to slow down.
“Hang in there for just a little longer. Once Mr. Nacht finishes working tonight, I will rush over to take over a shift,”
said Ben while tapping Bruce’s shoulder.
“It’s only been two days. I can handle it,” insisted Bruce. He acted like he didn’t need Ben’s help at all.
“I’m glad to hear that,” replied Ben before punching Bruce’s chest a little.
“Let’s go,” said Zachary as he checked his watch and hurried out of there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBen quickly followed suit.
Just then, Raina called to tell them that the triplets wanted to visit their great-grandpa.
Zachary rejected that request immediately. He ordered, “Tell them that their great-grandpa’s condition has
stabilized, but now is not a good time to visit. I will take them to the hospital in person after a few days. For now,
they need to stay home.”
“Understood,” replied Raina, before she sent his message to the kids.
Zachary left the hospital to rush to his meeting with Cynthia. He had just gotten into the car when Bruce called to
say, “Mr. Nacht, we just received news that Ms. Nacht’s private jet has just landed in H City.”
“She works fast.”
Zachary narrowed his eyes dangerously. Last night, he had Ben spread the news that Henry would be celebrating
his ninety-eighth birthday soon. He did that to draw Zara out of hiding.
However, he never thought that Henry would suddenly get into an accident.
To make matters worse, Zara had shown up earlier than expected.
Still, things had progressed to that extent, so he had no choice but to go with the flow.
