Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort Chapter 1363

Chapter 1363 Staying By His Side

Nancy took a long look at Charlotte and then at Ben.

Ben did not say a word but lowered his head.

Nancy understood his body language. They did not want unnecessary company.

“Then I’ll get going first. See y’all.”

Nancy nodded at Charlotte courteously and left.

Ben sent a few subordinates to stand guard outside and the emergency room became less crowded.

“Can I go in and see him?” Charlotte asked Raina softly.

“Sure.” Raina brought her to get a change and went into the room with Charlotte.

Zachary was sleeping on the bed with an infusion needle attached to the back of his hand. He was on a ventilator and there was monitoring equipment beside his bed.

His wound was already dressed neatly with layers of bandages around his head, but there was still a hint of blood smell wafting in the air.

Charlotte was brought to tears looking at him in such a state.

She did not dare to move closer. She was afraid she would disturb his rest, but at the same time, she wanted him to see her when he woke up.

“Mr. Nacht kept calling out for you when he came in. You should just stay here tonight,” Raina told her.

“I will.” Charlotte walked over to the bed slowly without taking her eyes off Zachary.

“I’ll step outside first. I need to talk to Ben.”

Raina and her assistant left as Lupine came in to accompany Charlotte.

When Ben saw Raina coming out of the room, he dashed over and asked, “How’s everything?”

Raina looked back at Charlotte from the corner of her eyes and closed the door. The two stepped aside and discussed softly. “We don’t see anything peculiar as of now, but it’s difficult to say what this injury will do to his body with the poison in his system. I can’t tell for sure what will happen, so we can only keep monitoring his condition.”

“Gosh. Things are already serious enough as it is and now he’s got another injury to deal with. He doesn’t even care about himself,” Ben said with a sigh.

“I heard he got injured because he saved Ms. Lindberg?”

“Yes.” Ben moved on to fill Raina in on what happened.

Raina looked at Ben in resignation after learning the whole happening. “She’s the only person he cares for.”

“But he’s already sick! He should think of himself too. You have no idea how worried I am.”

“There is nothing we can do, isn’t it. The only solution is to find Francesco. I’ve been asking around among my colleagues as well. Dr. Wright will be here in a few days. I’ll ask her to look into this.”

“Thanks.”

“I’ll go request for a room for Mr. Nacht first. See you around.”

“Sure. See you.”

Raina transferred Zachary to an isolated room so Charlotte and he can be alone.

Lupine got Charlotte some clothes from home and Charlotte showered and changed into some casual outfit. She made herself comfortable on the chair and waited for Zachary to wake up.

She switched off the lights, leaving behind a dim yellow light just so she could keep an eye on Zachary.

He was deep in sleep and his breathing was barely audible. The beeping sound from the electrocardiograph was the only sign that assured her that he was still alive.

Other than that, the whole room was in dead silence. Charlotte watched him as she thought of how he risked his own life just to save her.

She held his cold hand and brought it close to her face, hoping she could bring him some warmth.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell on his hand, but the senseless patient was still asleep.
