“That’s nice of you.” Zachary was grateful. “Thank you.”
Ignoring him, Lupine strode toward Charlotte.
“I thought rumor has it that the legendary Mr. Nacht has an icy personality?” a female bodyguard asked under her
breath. “It doesn’t seem so to me.”
“Ms. Lindberg has tamed him.” A smug settled upon Lupine’s face. “No matter how high and mighty he is toward
others, he behaves himself in front of Ms. Lindberg.”
“Hahaha, that’s a wonderful payback; fair enough as the Nachts aren’t nice to Ms. Lindberg.”
“Precisely!”
When Lupine got to the clinic, Dr. Felch had already examined Ellie and prescribed her medication. After instructing
Hayley to prepare the medicine daily, he turned to Charlotte. “Let me check on you now.”
“No rush.” Charlotte thought about Morgan. “I have a subordinate who was shot when she tried to protect me. Can

“Absolutely.” Dr. Felch explained, “Gunshot is one of the easiest things to treat. As long as it didn’t hurt her vitals,
she will be fine upon following my prescription.”
“Thank you so much.” Charlotte commanded, “Bring Dr. Felch to see Morgan immediately.”
“Duly noted. Dr. Felch, this way please.”
With that, Dr. Felchleft with Sam, leaving Hayley in the clinic to take care of Ellie.
Charlotte told Lupine, “The maids and the bodyguards at home don’t have any medical knowledge. Go and arrange
for some reliable medical staff to relieve the burdens of Hayley and Sam.”
“Okay, I’ll do that right away.” Lupine nodded. Right before she left, Charlotte asked, “Is that person still around?”
“Yes.” Lupine glanced at Ellie who was dozing off on the bed. She continued, “He’s been waiting in the living room
for over an hour.”
“I’ll take a look.”
When Charlotte arrived at the living room, she saw Zachary there, sipping tea. She questioned coldly, “Why are you
still here?”
“Has Dr. Felch seen Ellie? What did he say?” Zachary got up and walked toward Charlotte.
“The check-up is done. He has also prescribed medicines to be taken daily,” Charlotte replied indifferently.
“How long does it take for her to be completely cured?” Zachary was anxious.
“This is just the beginning. Dr. Felch won’t indicate a specific time frame.” Charlotte said solemnly, “It may take a
while for the medicines to take effect. We shall see.”
“True.” Zachary nodded. “I have full trust in Dr. Felch’s skills. We need to believe in him.”
“Yup,” Charlotte consoled herself the same way too.
“I see that you might need a hand at the clinic. Should I send more people over?” Zachary tried to find a new topic
to talk to her.
“No, thanks. You can leave now.” Charlotte showed no intention to engage in further conversation with him. She

“Ellie will cry if she doesn’t see me when she wakes up.” Zachary stopped her. “And Jamie will be disappointed too.
Robbie may look calm, but he’s just pretending.”
“So, your point is?” Charlotte shot him an unfriendly stare.
“I think…” He observed her facial expression before continuing. “I should stay here during the course of the
treatment. I won’t trouble you. In addition, I’ll pay for rent and food…”
“Go away!” Charlotte bellowed.
“Is that how you treat your guest?” Zachary was determined to get what he wanted. “The kids will be so sad to see
you treat me like this.”
“How audacious of you to even suggest that, Zachary Nacht!” Charlotte was livid. “When I was in your house, how
did your family treat me? I can let it slide for the sake of the children, but you’re being too much now. Stop being a
thick-skin and leave at once, or I’ll have my bodyguard shoo you away.”
“I’m prioritizing the kids. Don’t you want Ellie to get well sooner?” Zachary added, “She feels better when she looks
at me. In turn, this will aid her recovery. Ask Dr. Felch if you don’t believe me.”
