“Don’t disturb them…” warned Zachary threateningly.
“But you…”
Ben wanted to say something but held himself back.
After all, he knew that once Zachary was determined to do something, no one could convince him to change his mind.
“I could feel that I’m becoming better…” Zachary closed his eyes again and mumbled hoarsely, “Perhaps, I’ll be fine after a while.”
“But the treatment is so agonizing.” Ben was worried. “It’s more like torture!”
“They told me that Charlotte underwent the same treatment back then…”
When Zachary remembered what had happened in the past, he was still awash with guilt. “Her condition was worse than mine, so she must have suffered from much more pain. Since she could persist through it, why can’t I?”
“But her treatment wasn’t fully effective. It was only with Francesco’s help that her illness could be stabilized. Furthermore, there were after-effects…”
“Alright!” interrupted Zachary as he closed his eyes tiredly. “Get out.”
“Okay.” Not daring to say anything more, Ben left with his head hanging down.
Zachary lay on the bed alone, looking like a person teetering on the brink of death.
However, he had faith that he would definitely get better. After persisting through this, he would be able to resolve any other problems that may arise.
Ben asked Zachary’s doctor about his condition.
The doctor explained sincerely, “Like what I said before, our treatment can only achieve the bare minimum of helping Mr. Nacht survive. As for how he will be coping afterward, we cannot guarantee anything. Ms. Lindberg faced the same situation back then. Even after our treatment, her illness would relapse every week, making her suffer constantly. Afterward, Mr. Lindberg invited Francesco to develop some medicine and relieve her of the pain. However, I heard that she is recovering slowly with Dr. Felch’s help. I suggest that you contact Francesco or Dr. Felch…”
Naturally, Ben knew that he should contact them now.
However, Dr. Felch was treating Charlotte and Ellie in F Nation, while Francesco was an elusive man whose whereabouts were always unknown.
Bruce had already sent someone to look for him, but the search was still futile.
Just as he was thinking about it, Bruce called him. Ben quickly picked up the call. “Hey! Did you get any information on Francesco?”
“No, but…” Bruce hesitated to complete his sentence.
“What happened? Tell me?” asked Ben anxiously.
“Ms. Lindberg’s relationship with Louis has progressed…”
Bruce told Ben what happened at the grape farm earlier and even sent him a video.
“Look at this! They were hiding from the rain in the wooden hut. When Lady Sherlyn barged in, both of their clothes were disheveled and our surveillance camera captured that scene.”
“Why are they progressing so quickly?” Ben was anxious and flustered. “We mustn’t let Mr. Nacht find out. If he sees the video, he might not be able to persist anymore.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Bruce sighed. “I’ve infiltrated the villa recently to protect Ms. Lindberg, Robbie and Ellie’s safety. However, I realized that other than her own children, there are three two-year-old children with her.”
“Huh?” Ben was confused. “Whose children are they?”
“They’re being treated with as much respect as Robbie and Ellie. Since they’re quite good-looking too, I think that they’re probably Danrique’s children.”
“Looks like Danrique is really in danger. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have entrusted his children to Ms. Lindberg and instructed her to bring them to F Nation.”
“Yeah. As all the information in Erihal is sealed off, we cannot find out how Danrique is doing. However, if something bad actually happened to him, the Laurent family might not treat Ms. Lindberg as nicely as before…”
“Sir Louis is a good man, but Sir Robert and Lady Sherlyn are…”
