Ben looked at Lupine and explained the situation. “There's a misunderstanding here. Mr. Nacht and
Ms. Gold were having a walk by the beach when she realized her period came, so they went to a
nearby hotel.”
Ben looked at Lupine and explained the situation. “There's a misunderstanding here. Mr. Nacht and
Ms. Gold were having a walk by the beach when she realized her period came, so they went to a
nearby hotel.”
“Uh-huh. What a scheming woman. She can well settle it on her own. Why does she have to bring him
along?”
“Well... She didn't realize it herself. I was the one who found out.”
“You?” Lupine's eyes widened in disbelief and rage. “I didn't know you're that observant!”
“Just what are you thinking? She's wearing a white dress and she's walking in front of me,” Ben
explained frantically, “It's not like I'm looking at her on purpose!”
“Whatever! I won't believe a word you say.” Lupine pushed him aside forcefully, spilling all the water on
him.
Ben shook his hand dry and lowered his voice, “It's not the time to fight over this. You can do anything
you want after Mr. Nacht comes out safe. We don't even know if he will pull through yet. Can we deal
with this later?”
Lupine looked away. “I know. I'm not that unreasonable. I'm sure Mr. Nacht will survive. You just wait.”
She filled up another cup and walked off.Charlotte was looking blankly at the emergency room when Lupine came over. Zachary had been in
there for an hour, but they had received no updates about his condition.
“Have some water, Ms. Lindberg,” Lupine said, passing Charlotte the cup.
Beside her, Ben came over with a cup as well. “Have some water, Ms. Gold.”
Nancy took the cup but did not drink. Her hand was shaking.
She was trying to get a grip of herself, but she was so nervous she could not stop shaking.
“The doctor's here!”
Everyone stood up the moment someone shouted.
A surgeon emerged from the emergency room and took off his mask. “He's fine. He lost a lot of blood,
so it'll take some time before he regains consciousness. We need to monitor him tonight.”
“Is there other complication?” Ben asked.
Navig@te back to th€ roots of thïš substance at n0v^lebook“We've dressed his wounds. There won't be a problem. Don't worry. He'll be awake by tomorrow
morning.”
“Thank you so much!” Charlotte cried out in relief, but Ben still looked worried.
He knew the doctor was unaware of Zachary's sickness. That was why he said everything was fine with
the patient.
Ben did not want this injury to develop into something more complicated later on.
The poison had already affected Zachary's sensory nervous system, causing him to lose his vision.
Ben was disquieted. What if this leads to something else?Just as Ben was still deep in thought, Raina came out from the emergency room and talked to the
surgeon.
“Thanks, Dr. Hansel. I'll take over from here. You should get some rest.”
“Sure. Thanks, Dr. Langhan.”
Dr. Hansel excused himself and left.
Raina looked at Charlotte and Nancy before turning over to Ben. “Mr. Nacht is still unconscious. He
needs to rest. I don't think we need so many people here.”
“Understood,” Ben replied and walked over to Nancy. “Why not you rest at home while we wait, Ms.
Gold? I will inform you once Mr. Nacht wakes up.”
“Sure. I'll make a move first then,” Nancy said readily, standing up. “Do you want to leave together, Ms.
Lindberg?”
Although Ben did not ask Charlotte to leave, Nancy went ahead. It was obvious that she was asking
Charlotte to let Zachary have a good rest, but although her message was clear and direct, her tone was
polite.
“I'll leave in a bit.”
Charlotte knew what Nancy was trying to get at, but she did not want to play along.
