Success or failure wasn't the only thing riding on the result. It would determine who gets to stay or leave.
Charlotte was waiting for the test results and news from Lupine.
The news from Lupine was more crucial to her than the test results.
The results were not going to matter much to her if she could find Zachary first.
But the results would be imperative if she couldn't bring him back in time.

An hour had passed, but there was still no news from Lupine.
Charlotte couldn't sit still any longer. She was ready to call Lupine when the door to the office opened.
A subordinate pushed Spencer into the room slowly, with Lucy helping Johann enter the room next, followed by
Kallum, Mr. Martin, Mr. Reeves, and the rest. Even Raina, Bruce, and the doctors were present.

The tension within the room thickened further.
Charlotte was puzzled. Only an hour had passed, the DNA result wasn't out yet, but the result of “Zachary's” blood
test should be.
I know he is not poisoned. That must be why I'm feeling guilty.
But why were they acting so strange?
“Zachary” was getting anxious; then, he inquired cautiously, “Is something wrong?”
“Your blood test results are out,” Lucy answered.
Before the doctor could announce the result, Kallum shrieked, “Charlotte, you're one cruel woman. How could you
poison Mr. Zachary?”

“Everyone, look at this.” Kallum was getting more worked up. “A mere subordinate dared to point at Mr. Zachary.
How badly has the Lindbergs been threatening him?”
“I didn't...”
“Shut up!” Charlotte hissed.
Morgan cut her argument off and inched back in silent.
“My apologies. I didn't train my subordinates well,” Charlotte apologized. After a quick look at Spencer and Johann,
she asked, “Doctor, you were saying his test results were out.”
“Right.” The doctor handed the test report to Charlotte. “This is the report of the blood test we ran.”
Reaching for the paper, Charlotte was baffled as she read the report.
The report indicated all indexes were out of the normal range and that meant that he had been poisoned.
Charlotte's eyes were wide as a saucer. She cast a look of disbelief at “Zachary”. There were numerous questions
flashing through her mind.
What's going on?
Could he be the real Zachary?
Have I made a mistake?
