Chapter 1016

“Hold on a second.” Just then, Zachary took a towel and helped wipe off the water on her shoulders and arms.

“Please take off your wet towel. You’ll catch a cold if you sleep like this.”

Covered in a blanket, Charlotte removed the towel from her body. Then she tossed to the other side and went to

sleep.

Zachary was heartbroken upon seeing her exhausted look. He wished to hug her, but he knew he could not.

Her heart was not yet open to him and she refused to let him come close.

And he respected her feelings.

A moment later, Zachary shut the window and was about to leave. But as he noticed the strong wind outside, he

feared there would be a storm tonight.

Since the poison within Charlotte had not gotten eradicated, there was a chance she might still go crazy if she

heard the thunder.

With that in mind, Zachary decided to stay behind and accompany her.

Right then, there was a door knock. Zachary immediately walked to open it as he worried it might wake Charlotte.

“Is there anything?”

“There might be a storm tonight. I’ll have to come in and keep a watch on Ms. Lindberg.”

Lupine was holding a blanket and soundproof headphones in her hands.

“Leave them to me then.” Zachary took over that stuff. “Please go and watch over the kids.”

“But…”

Before Lupine could utter a word, Zachary had shut the door.

She felt somehow uneasy, but she could only arrange two trusted bodyguards to guard by the door. She instructed

them to inform her if they heard anything coming from the room.

With that, Lupine went on to settle other matters.

After closing the door, Zachary sat down on the couch with the blanket in his arms. He stared silently at Charlotte,

with one hand supporting his chin.

All the bad and good memories came flashing back in his mind.

He had lived these two years filled with utter regrets. He blamed himself for not protecting her well two years ago

and caused her to end up in such tragedy.

It’s different now. I’ll protect her regardless of the price I’ll need to pay!



Meanwhile, Charlotte was not having a good sleep. She grabbed her pillow tightly and curled up like an injured

kitten.

As she tossed her body, her blanket fell off.

Zachary walked over and adjusted the blanket for her. Then, he caressed her forehead gently.

Out of the blue, there was a loud thunder.

At that instant, Charlotte shuddered and woke up instantly.

Zachary immediately put the soundproof earphones over her ears. But it was too late. Charlotte knocked off the

earphones at once and started grabbing her head, struggling in pain.

“Charlotte!” Zachary hugged her tightly while covering her ears. “It’s all right. Don’t be afraid…”

Charlotte bit down on her lip harshly, trying hard not to scream as she did not want the kids to be disturbed.

Maybe due to the treatment, her condition seemed better than before.

Or maybe it was because of the soundproof window that made the thunder less loud.

Hence, her relapse was not as serious as the last time.

Nonetheless, it was still hard for her to bear the pain as she kept tossing around on the bed. In the end, her lips got

bitten until they started to bleed.

Zachary’s heart ached upon seeing that as he quickly put his hand between her teeth.

In the next instance, her teeth bit his hand with full strength.

Soon, blood began flowing down and the white blanket became red.

“Holy… So you still have a clear mind, haven’t you? You bit me so hard…”

Zachary’s face cringed as the pain was too much. Nonetheless, he felt relieved that at least Charlotte had stopped

hurting herself.

“Ms. Lindberg, are you okay? Ms. Lindberg?” Just then, Morgan was knocking at the door anxiously. “Mr. Nacht, are

you in there? Is Ms. Lindberg all right? We’re coming in.”

Before Zachary could respond, Morgan had already barged into the room, followed by the other four bodyguards.

They were stunned momentarily by what came into their sight.

Charlotte was biting Zachary’s hand inside his embrace, and she was all naked.
