NovelEnglishEveryone around Zachary was startled by his sudden outburst. They knew he was a good fighter, but
they weren’t aware of his immense strength.
Bang! Another kick from Zachary, and the door was open.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Morgan trained her gun on Zachary. “This is Ms. Lindberg’s room.
You aren’t allowed to… “
Before she could finish, Zachary had rushed into the room.
Zachary traced Charlotte’s voice into the bathroom and immediately made his way there.
Lupine, who was at the bathroom door, tried to stop Zachary. “How dare you! This is the Lindberg’s… “
Nonetheless, Zachary had no patience for her either as he roughly pushed her away. He was so strong
that Lupine fell onto the floor.
As soon as he stepped into the bathroom, he was shocked at the scene laid out in front of him.
Charlotte was lying naked in the bathtub, screaming at the top of her lungs as her hands covered her
ears.

dyed red.
Zachary’s heart almost broke at the sight of Charlotte. Despite the terrifying scene in front of him, he
ran up to hug her tight as he shouted for Raina.
When Raina saw the state Charlotte was in, she decided to sedate her first.
However, Charlotte kept struggling and thrashing about like a wild beast on the loose.
Left without a choice, Zachary grabbed Charlotte’s hands to hold her down. Yet she used her legs to
kick Raina instead. No matter how hard Raina tried, she just couldn’t get near Charlotte.
Thus, Zachary decided to step into the bathtub and used his body to press down on Charlotte, his
hands on hers.
Charlotte continued to struggle, but she wasn’t strong enough to break free from Zachary.
When she realized she couldn’t move her arms or legs, she bit down hard on Zachary’s neck.
Zachary screamed in agony. It felt like she was about to rip his flesh off, but he couldn’t care less. “Do it
now!” he ordered Raina.
“Ok, ok,” Raina whimpered, her hands shaking as she injected Charlotte with the sedative.
Just then, Lupine and Morgan barged in and tried to stop them, but Louis stepped in to pull them away.
“That’s a sedative. It’s the only way to ease Charlotte’s pain.”
Sure enough, Charlotte quietened down almost immediately. She went limp in Zachary’s arms and
closed her eyes. “Please, please don’t kill Mrs. Berry. Don’t kill her…” she whimpered.
Upon hearing those words, Zachary felt a throbbing pain in his heart. He couldn’t imagine what
Charlotte had to go through two years ago that left her with such a bad trauma.
With Charlotte asleep, Louis finally heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m so glad that’s over. She almost scared
me to death!”
“Sir Louis, please step outside.” Lupine and Morgan urged. They had a scene to clean up, and they
didn’t want more people getting involved.
“I didn’t see anything.”
That was the truth. Louis had been standing by the bathroom door the whole time. Other than
Charlotte’s face, he couldn’t see anything else.

Before Lupine could continue, Zachary had already carried Charlotte out of the bathtub. He wrapped a
towel around her before laying her on the bed.
Zachary couldn’t stand to see her in so much pain, but he knew he couldn’t stay. Hence, he turned to
Lupine and Morgan. “Wipe her dry and get her dressed.”
With that, he left the room.
Raina was about to follow suit when Lupine stopped her. “Dr. Langhan, please wait.”
Raina instantly stopped in her tracks.
“Can you please help us?”
“Of course.”
Louis ran up to Zachary just as he was coming out of Charlotte’s room. “Oh my god, your neck is
bleeding.”
“Where’s your room?” Zachary replied curtly.
Quickly, Louis led him to his room, and Zachary stepped into the bathroom to clean himself up.
When Zachary stepped back out again in a bathrobe, Louis poured him a glass of wine. “Are you okay?
Do you need to go to the hospital?” he asked with genuine concern.
