Chapter 1019

“I never like to explain anything, as it would feel like I’m trying to find an excuse for myself.” Zachary let
out a bitter smile. “I figure those who truly know me will understand me. Probably this was the reason
why so many misunderstandings occurred.”

“Did someone use the antidote to force you to send her away?” Dr. Felch started to figure out the whole
truth.

“Yes.” Zachary nodded slightly. “But that’s not important. It was my fault since I was the one who didn’t
manage to get hold of the situation…”

“That’s what I thought.” Dr. Felch analyzed rationally from his medical standpoint. “Logically, she wouldn’t
be able to survive if she left like that unless she got the antidote. But still, I can’t understand. If she got
the antidote, why does she still suffer from such serious side effects?”

“Something happened with the last antidote…” Zachary gave a straightforward answer. “On that day,
Mrs. Berry got humiliated in the storm and nearly lost her life. Her brother managed to rescue her at that
critical moment and brought her back to the Lindberg family.”

“Now I understand.” Dr. Felch let out a deep sigh. “So fate is toying with all of us.”



“I owe her too much. I only hope that she could recover soon…”

As Zachary was speaking, a bug flew by and knocked into one of his eyes. He swayed it off, without
much care for his eye.





“What’s wrong with your eye?” Dr. Felch felt he saw something unusual. “I forgot to wear my glasses so I
can’t see clearly. Let me check for you tomorrow.”

“It’s nothing. It’s just a bug flying by.” Zachary was unperturbed. “My eye is fine.”

“No, I feel I saw something strange…” As Dr. Felch was speaking, Hayley entered the room abruptly. “Dr.
Felch, I’ve finished treating Ms. Windt’s wound. And I’ve fed her a bottle of medicine just as you said.
She should be able to sleep well tonight.”

“Great.” Dr. Felch nodded slightly. “I should head back to sleep too. I’m not young anymore.”

With that, Zachary helped him up.

“You get some rest too.” Dr. Felch waved his hand toward Zachary. “Next time, remember to put
something else in her mouth if she keeps biting. You don’t have to sacrifice your hand.”

“Got it…”

At that moment, Zachary was staring at Dr. Felch’s back figure. He got impressed not only by his medical
skill but also by his wisdom in life.

Many times, he was able to see through the whole situation easily.

Maybe, he’s the key toward the truce between the two families.

“Mr. Zachary, are you all right?” Mrs. Rawlston came down from the staircase and greeted Zachary
earnestly. “How’s your wound? Let me have a look.”

“It’s only a small wound. I’m fine.” Zachary hid his hand behind his back.

“How could it be fine? I’ve just come from cleaning the room. I saw the blanket all covered in bloodstain.”



Mrs. Rawlston choked on her words as she spoke.

“I’m fine. The wound is not serious.” Zachary worried about seeing her cry. “All right. Would you please
go and rest? You still need to prepare breakfast for the kids tomorrow morning.”

“Fine then. Since Dr. Felch had checked the wound, I guess there would not be much problem. Please
don’t hurt yourself in the future. Mr. Henry will be sad if he finds out. I’ll need to report to him about your
situation every day…”

Just then, Mrs. Berry realized she had slipped up, and she immediately changed her tone. “It’s late
already. I’ll go to bed now.”

Upon saying that, she swiftly left the scene, covering her mouth with her hand.

“Hahaha…”

Zachary let out a smile while shaking his head. He used to be indifferent to everything around him. But
now, he seemed to start cherishing the good side of life.

He was grateful to Dr. Felch and Mrs. Rawlston for being by his side.

He also appreciated Henry, who still could not stop worrying about him even now.

Just then, Zachary’s phone suddenly rang. Zachary was speechless when he saw it was from
Henry. Mrs. Rawlston indeed has a big mouth.

He swiftly went to his room and answered the call. “Hello!”
