“You’re right.” Spencer felt suspicious about it after Henry voiced his doubt.
“I’m not sure about that. However, I think Mr. Zachary knows what to do, for he has planned it all along,” Cain added.
“What did he plan?” Henry asked.
“Well…” Cain explained cautiously, “Mr. Zachary’s luggage was in the car. Besides, Bruce purposely drove around the place before returning to Northridge so that the Lindberg family wouldn’t suspect anything. As far as I can tell, Mr. Zachary knew that he could stay there.”
“Pfft!” Spencer burst into laughter. “This is really what Mr. Zachary would do.”
“That lad has all sorts of tricks in his mind.” Henry was slightly annoyed. “Anyway, you guys made a good point. Since Zachary has made preparations in advance, he should’ve expected what will happen next.”
“Yes. You don’t have to overthink it,” Spencer comforted him, “anyway, it’s getting late. You should get some rest.”
“Ah—” Henry heaved a sigh, for he still couldn’t put his mind at ease.
Nonetheless, after the incident related to Cynthia happened, Henry kept persuading himself to give more freedom to Zachary, even though he cared about him very much.
“Alright. You may leave now.”
Cain lowered his head and left after Spencer shot a look at him.
Then, Spencer helped Henry to the bed and consoled him. “Don’t worry, for the children will take care of themselves. Besides, Mr. Zachary is more competent than you can imagine. So, please don’t overthink it.”
“Have you found anything about the things that I asked you to investigate?” Henry suddenly asked.
After remaining silent for a few seconds, Spencer said in a low voice, “Mr. Zachary and the Lindberg family are searching for Ms. Zara. They have sent a lot of men to do it, yet I believe they haven’t had any important leads.”
“We mustn’t let the Lindberg family find Zara first.” Henry frowned and continued, “She will be dead if the Lindberg family gets her first. Instead, she might have a chance to survive if Zachary finds her first.”
“I think the Lindberg family won’t let go of Ms. Zara easily. After all, Mrs. Berry died because of her. Besides, she abducted Robbie and almost killed Charlotte. The animosity between them has reached the point of no return, and the Lindberg family must take revenge on her,” “ Spencer said worriedly.
Upon hearing Spencer’s words, Henry fell silent and frowned.
“I understand that you’re in a difficult position. Given that Ms. Zara is your daughter, you hope that she can survive. However… she committed many unforgivable crimes. Also, she seems to have gone crazy now. So, I’m afraid she can’t escape her fate no matter how much you wish to protect her,” Spencer persuaded patiently.
“I get it…” Henry heaved a sigh and continued, “Every adult has to be responsible for what he does. I only hope that there can be a better way to solve it. For instance, hand her over to the police and punish her by the law. By then, she can at least stay alive!”
“I understand.” Spencer nodded and replied, “Well, let’s hope that Mr. Zachary can get Ms. Zara first.”
“No, I’ve to remind him.” With that, Henry struggled to get up from bed.
“Please don’t,” Spencer comforted him and said, “Mr. Zachary is already aware of it even though you haven’t told him. After all, what makes you think that Ms. Zara could escape a few times easily?”
Spencer paused for a while and continued, “ Mr. Zachary doesn’t intend to hurt his family. Besides, as far as I know, there is a lack of evidence to prove that Ms. Zara committed all of the accused crimes. So, with the help of a prominent lawyer, I think she will only be jailed for a few years.”
“We hope that it comes true. However, the only concern is that the Lindberg family won’t let her off the hook,” Henry responded anxiously, “Hopefully, Charlotte is reasonable in dealing with Zara. Since Sharon was the one who harmed Charlotte and Mrs. Berry, Charlotte can take her life for revenge.”
“Ms. Lindberg will understand it. After all, she didn’t stop Mr. Zachary when he wanted to bring Cynthia to the police station,” Spencer assured him, “when it comes to Ms. Zara, I believe she won’t act recklessly as well.”
“I hope so…”
