qAfter Peter took his leave, Charlotte sent someone to look into Queenie's case. It was confirmed that she
contracted AIDS, and she was undergoing treatment in a hospital.
She had an elderly mother and a young daughter at home, and the situation wasn't looking good for them. After
Charlotte knew about Queenie's condition, she regretted not giving Peter more money. She was about to call him
back so she can issue another check, but then she got news that Peter gave all the money to Queenie.
Charlotte didn't talk about it, but she thought it was a considerate move from Peter. Olivia found a good boyfriend.
Peter might be working in a shady line of work, but he's kind and compassionate.
Charlotte told Raina to contact the hospital Queenie was receiving treatment. Raina's hospital would cover all of
Queenie's treatment costs. She even donated some money to Queenie's mother and child anonymously.
After she was done, she told Raina to check everyone's blood, including Spencer and his men. The chances of them
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgetting infected were slim, but it was never zero.
Zachary was working while all of this was happening. Bruce suddenly hurried over and hesitated for a moment,
then he said, “Mr. Nacht, I have news for you, but...”
“What is it?” Zachary asked without even looking at him.
Bruce hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Um, Raina called me earlier. She told me to get Andy and the guys
checked. A blood test, to be specific.”
“What?” Zachary finally looked up at him. “Did she say why?”
“It's Ms. Lindberg's orders.” Bruce had mixed feelings about it. Back then, he stumbled upon Charlotte coming out
of Chris' room, her clothes messy. And he even overheard their conversation.
That matter had been frustrating him for a long time now, and he blamed himself for keeping it a secret from
Zachary. He blamed himself for failing to protect Charlotte.
He was about to bring the secret with him to the grave, but now that Raina was telling him to get a blood test done,
he knew it must be about AIDS. If Chris is diagnosed with AIDS, then Ms. Lindberg might be a carrier as well.
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. He wondered if he should tell Zachary about it. If he
kept it a secret, he would be betraying Zachary, but if he told him the truth, he would be betraying Charlotte.
They had just gotten reunited after going through so many challenges. If they were to break up again because of
this, it would be bad.
“What are you hiding from me?” Zachary saw through Bruce easily.
“Mr. Nacht...” Bruce was in a dilemma. He was struggling with himself, wondering if he should tell Zachary the
truth.
“Tell me!” Zachary suddenly roared.
Bruce quickly knelt before him. “Mr. Nacht, please cease your anger. I... I...” he stammered. When Bruce looked up
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmagain, he saw the flame of anger flaring within Zachary's eyes.
He looked down nervously and told him about what he saw, though he felt guilty about it. He only had limited
information about the whole matter. All he knew was that Chris booted Charlotte out of the company after he
impersonated Zachary, and Nancy kidnapped Robbie and Jamie to blackmail Charlotte.
Charlotte was in a disadvantageous position, and she had to play by their rules. Chris eventually used the kids to
lure Charlotte to Sultry Night, and then Bruce bumped into Charlotte coming out of Chris' room.
Bruce was wracked with guilt after he was done talking about the events he saw. “I failed you, Mr. Nacht. I have
failed to protect Ms. Lindberg.”
Zachary didn't fly into a rage after he heard what happened. He stared down, and he was immersed in his
thoughts. I know Charlotte. If she did have sex with Chris, she would have been embarrassed and nervous when she
was facing him alone, but she didn't. Instead, she was calm.
Also, this blood test stuff only happened after Peter came. He must have something to do with this. Maybe he struck
a deal with Charlotte or something, and they did a switcheroo.
