Chapter 1023

The family had a good breakfast together. While taking care of the three kids, Zachary would chat with
Dr. Felch occasionally.

Dr. Felch mentioned what happened last night again. “Come to the laboratory after eating. I’ll take a look
at your eyes.”

“My eyes are fine.”

Zachary was stirring the oatmeal for Ellie. The steam drifted up, causing his vision to be blurred by a faint
mist.

Charlotte glanced at him. Other than looking slightly bloodshot, his eyes seemed fine. Perhaps, he didn’t
have a good sleep.

“Although your eyes may look alright now…”



Dr. Felch narrowed his eyes and scrutinized Zachary.

“It’s fine. An insect merely flew across my eyes yesterday.”



Turning around, Zachary fed Ellie some oatmeal. At that moment, his phone rang and Charlotte took the
bowl from his hands. “I’ll do it.”

Zachary passed the bowl to her before walking aside and taking the call. “Speak!”

“As you’ve expected…”

Ben was reporting something important over the phone.



Frowning, Zachary quickly regained his composure and instructed solemnly, “I understand. Monitor it
closely first.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Zachary returned to the dining table and took the bowl from Charlotte. “I’ll do it.”

He fed Ellie the oatmeal quietly before wiping her mouth and saying gently, “Ellie, I’ll be busy with work
recently, so I can’t keep you company. You must receive your medical treatment obediently, okay?”

“Yeah, I know.” Ellie nodded.

“Daddy, just focus on your work. We’ll take care of Ellie!” Jamie patted his chest and declared. “You don’t
need to accompany us at night too. We can play chess ourselves!”

“I might not be staying here for the next few days.” Zachary stroked his head. “There’s a lot of work at the
office, so I have to stay there.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard that.

Even Charlotte was startled. She always thought that she had lost all feelings for him. Yet, when she
heard that he was going to leave, a weird sense of disappointment surfaced within her…

Perhaps, the family had been living in such perfect harmony that the sudden change was too great.

Still, Charlotte quickly returned to her senses. Feigning nonchalance, she said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care
of the kids.”

“Are you reluctant to let me leave?” Zachary looked at her with a playful smirk.

“You’re crazy!” Charlotte shot him a glare and rebuked in annoyance, “I’m overjoyed that an unlucky
charm like you is gone.”



“You don’t mean it sincerely, right?” insisted Zachary shamelessly.

“You…”

“Okay, I have to go.” Zachary hugged the three children. “I’ll come back and keep you company after I’m
done with work.”

“How long will you be busy for, Daddy?” With reddened eyes, Ellie gazed at him longingly.

“Not too long.” He stroked her cheeks.

“Take care of yourself, Daddy.” Although Jamie felt reluctant too, he put up a strong front. “After you’re
done, bring us to the amusement park!”

“I’ll keep my promise.” Zachary bumped fists with him before looking at Robbie. “Robbie, why aren’t you
saying anything?”

“I just find it very sudden. I didn’t expect the situation to be so grave this time.” Robbie stared at Zachary
with a complex look in his eyes. “The power of public opinion is really significant.”

When Charlotte heard that, she felt conflicted. Although Jamie and Ellie knew nothing, they did not know
what Zachary was about to face. However, Robbie was different.

As an IT genius, he watched the finance news every day and paid attention to the business trends.

He knew that after Zara’s scandals were exposed online, the Divine Corporation and Nacht Group had
been severely impacted. Initially, he thought that Zachary could resolve everything perfectly.

However, after hearing that Zachary needed to stay in the office to handle all this work, he understood
that the situation was even more serious than he had imagined…
