Sharon was dead.
Her eyes were wide open as she breathed her last.
Perhaps she did not even expect that that would be her last moment, or perhaps she was not willing to accept her fate even in her death.
There were still things she needed to do.
Zachary rushed all the way to Coldbridge just because he wanted to stop Charlotte from killing Sharon, but in the end, there was nothing he could do.
The rain poured incessantly, washing away the blood on the ground.
Charlotte squinted her eyes looking at the gory scene. “This is exactly how Mrs. Berry died.”
Zachary’s heart wrenched listening to her. He could imagine how much she had been through. That was why she behaved so rashly today.
“You didn’t go through this yourself, so you’ll never understand.” Charlotte looked at him in determination. “I will kill anyone that touches my family.”
This was not just a word of advice for Zachary, it was also a reminder for herself.
She should not be merciful toward her enemies anymore.
Danrique did not save you from jail just so you can be a weakling, Charlotte. You need to be strong so people won’t walk all over you.
It’s time you live up to your calling.
Charlotte left with her men right after, leaving Zachary alone in the rain.
Zachary looked at Sharon’s body before his gaze shifted toward the house where Charlotte and Mrs. Berry used to live.
The rain poured relentlessly on him as an indecipherable glint shone in his eyes.
He knew there would be a rainbow after the rain, but he had a hunch that things would not be as easy this time around. He had a premonition that impending doom was looming.
“Mr. Nacht, Ms. Lindberg has already left,” Ben said, holding out a big black umbrella for Zachary, “We should leave before the police come.”
“Send someone to keep an eye at this place. Let me know if anybody suspicious comes.”
Zachary simply has to get to the bottom of this. He had to tie up the loose ends.
“I’ve already ordered them to do so.”
Zachary nodded and left, but before he could even reach the car, a dizzy spell struck him and he felt cold liquid flowing out of his nose. He touched his nose and felt blood.
“Are you okay, Mr. Nacht?” Ben was worried.
“It’s nothing. It’s just Charlotte’s blood.”
Zachary made up an excuse and brushed Ben’s concern aside. Good thing there isn’t a lot of blood.
Although he did not bleed a lot, Zachary was fully aware that there was something wrong with him.
It was definitely not just overexertion.
He lifted his head and looked at the Lindbergs’ convoy driving away. “How’s Ellie?”
“Her condition is serious. Olivia is severely injured too. It’s difficult to tell if she can survive,” Ben reported, “But Dr. Felch is already in Coldbridge. I’m sure he will get her the best treatment and do everything he can to save her.”
“Which hospital is she at? I’ll go over now.” Zachary was worried sick.
“It’s a private hospital for royalties in T Nation that Lindberg Corporation invested in.”
Morgan’s car pulled up beside the hospital in just ten minutes.
Lupine had earlier on called the hospital to spare a whole floor just for them.
Dr. Felch had already arrived ten minutes earlier along with Hayley and Sam. They were pacing around anxiously waiting for them when they arrived.
Once Charlotte got to the hospital, she rushed out of the car holding Ellie in her arms.
“Let her lie down.”
Dr. Felch was alarmed the moment he saw Ellie. He did a quick check on her and realized the situation was grim.
“I think you need to get a few doctors who know western medicine. We will need their help.”
“Alright.” Charlotte turned to Lupine and told her to do accordingly.
Morgan and Raina just arrived when they saw the anxious lot.
“Is there anything I can do to help, Ms. Lindberg? I can help Dr. Felch if he needs me,” Raina offered.
