“Silly old bugger, you’re getting bolder, huh? How dare you chide me?” scolded Henry furiously as he hit Spencer’s
leg with his cane.
Spencer lowered his head as he received Henry’s blows silently.
However, after two hits, Henry stopped. Panting weakly, he said, “Your punishment is that you’re not allowed to
speak tonight.”
“Okay.”
After cleaning the blood and dirt away from Charlotte’s body, Zachary took a bath and slept beside her.
Propping his head up with an arm, he lay on his side and watched her silently.
It was rare to see her so quiet. Instead of making a fuss, she was lying beside him so obediently.
He recalled how two years ago, they had such passionate nights on this bed. While he could never bear to let go of
her, she would also cling to him so longingly.
They were reunited on the same bed two years later, although in a different way.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStretching his hand out, he flicked her hair away from her forehead gently before stroking her beautiful face with
the back of his palm. Then, he moved closer, kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly in his arms.
He really wished that they could continue like this forever.
I hope that she won’t ever wake up.
However, just when that thought flashed across his mind, he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door. “Mr.
Nacht, I need to report something to you.”
Left with no choice, Zachary got up, put on his robe and opened the door. “What happened?”
“We have captured Sharon,” said Ben softly. “Raina also sent a message, saying that Morgan’s condition has
already stabilized. Her life is not in danger anymore…”
“Where’s Ms. Lindberg?”
Lupine and a few female bodyguards had hurried back rapidly. On their way, they heard about Morgan being shot.
Feeling anxious, she immediately dispatched two bodyguards to the hospital to check on Morgan.
Meanwhile, she and the remaining two other bodyguards rushed back to look for Charlotte…
“Softer,” reminded Zachary as he frowned. “She just fell asleep.”
“I need to check on her.” Lupine was still worried. “Please let me in to take a look.”
Zachary moved aside.
Lupine crept over quietly. Through the dim lighting, she could see that Charlotte was deep asleep. It was only after
confirming that Charlotte had not suffered any serious injuries that she left, feeling relieved.
“Sorry for disturbing you.”
Lupine bowed to Zachary before heading toward Ellie’s room.
“Keep an eye on Sharon and don’t let her escape again,” Zachary instructed Ben. “You must also pay attention to
what’s happening in the hospital. Don’t let anything happen to Morgan.”
“Understood.” Ben nodded before whispering, “Marino has already found Dr. Felch. However, he said that he’ll only
come to H City if he can contact Ms. Lindberg.”
“I’ll talk to her after daybreak.” Zachary glanced at his watch and saw that it was already three in the morning.
“You may leave now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.”
Ben rushed away quickly to supervise the others, who were monitoring Sharon.
Meanwhile, Lupine went to Ellie’s bedroom and asked the two female bodyguards, “Is Ms. Elisa alright?”
“She’s fine,” one replied softly. “However, Ms. Lindberg got bullied today…”
“What?” Lupine was startled. “What happened?”
The bodyguard quickly told her about what happened between Charlotte and Cynthia.
“We could hear shouts from outside. However, as this room is soundproof, we can’t really hear what was being
said. Since Ms. Lindberg told us to protect Ms. Elisa to our best abilities and that we’re not allowed to exit no matter
what happens, we did not leave.”
After a slight pause, she continued, “Afterward, we heard from Molly that Ms. Lindberg and Morgan got attacked
after leaving and ended up getting caught in a thunderstorm. When Ms. Lindberg’s illness acted up again, Mr. Nacht
carried her home. Probably out of jealousy, Cynthia forcefully barged into the room when Mr. Nacht was not around
and provoked Ms. Lindberg. This was despite Mrs. Rawlston’s frantic attempts to stop her! Ms. Lindberg retaliated
angrily and almost suffocated Cynthia. Hence, Mr. Henry sent a few bodyguards to restrain her, even chaining her
down…”
