Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1382
“S-should we punish her?” asked a subordinate carefully.
“No, we cannot hurt her,” answered Nancy while frowning, “She is f*cking annoying, but Mr. Nacht cares about her. He will be affected if anything were to happen to her.”
“Alright, then,” replied the subordinate who didn’t dare to say much else.
“I wonder how Mr. Nacht is doing now.”
Nancy was on edge. She wanted to see how Zachary was doing, but she further considered the situation and realized that Ben probably wouldn’t let her see him. Hence, she had to back down.
She kept reminding herself. I must remain calm.
I cannot lose my footing and must have what it takes to remain unaffected despite the overwhelming difficulty ahead. Only then will I have a shot at being Mrs. Nacht.
If I can’t even do this, the maids and bodyguards will look down at me.
Still, Nancy was too worried, so she opened her door and told the maids stationed outside, “Please remember to come to get me once Mr. Nacht wakes up.”
“Okay, don’t worry. We’ll keep you posted on the matter,” replied the maid politely.
“Alright, thanks.”
Nancy shot a look at Zachary’s room and noted that entire floor was extremely quiet. The treatment is probably still going on.
“How is he?” asked Ben when he entered Zachary’s room.
Shh! gestured Raina.
Ben clamped his mouth shut instantly and waited patiently at the side.
Helen scanned Zachary’s reports and examined his injuries and his condition before sharing grimly, “You overestimated my skills as a doctor. I can’t do anything about his condition.”
“Please take a closer look, Dr. Wright. Think hard. I’m sure you can come up with something,” urged Raina nervously.
“The best I can do is stabilize his condition and make it so that it won’t worsen for the time being. Unfortunately, I am unable to cure him. You will have to hire someone else for that. The chances of him being healed are low, though,” shared Helen directly.
Ben’s heart gripped upon hearing those words. He had prayed that a miracle would happen and had a little hope left, but the good doctor squashed that hope.
“Let’s start with stabilizing his condition, then,” requested Raina grimly, “We’ll be counting on you, Dr. Wright.”
“I’ll need some medical equipment. Please get them ready for me,” requested Helen right away as she informed Raina, “I will perform a minor surgery on Mr. Nacht. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to stabilize his condition for a while.”
“Okay, sure. I’ll get everything up and running right away.”
The aura in the Nacht residence was grimmer than it had ever been. Every bodyguard and maid were on edge, and they struggled throughout the night.
Ben, Raina, Marino, and the others didn’t sleep at all. They stood guard outside Zachary’s room the entire time.
At around one-thirty in the morning, Helen performed a minor surgery on Zachary and gave him some treatments. She ended everything with a warning to Raina.
“This surgery will temporarily slow down the effects of the poison, but you must keep a close eye on him. Do not let him get hurt again. Even the angels won’t be able to bring him back if you do.”
“Understood,” replied Raina before she nodded.
“He must recuperate for the time being, and it is best if he remains physically idle. That would further slow the poison down,” advised Helen, “As for his medication, just prescribe him the same medicine he had been taking all this while. There aren’t any other special medication that can help, anyway.”
“Okay, understood.”
The more Helen spoke, the heavier Raina’s heart felt. Everything Helen had said pointed to Zachary’s condition being critical.
“Pardon me for being direct, but this surgery can, at most, prolong his life by one month,” shared Helen, “There is no saying how things will be after that. My recommendation is that he should prepare for everything within the month. His will, for example, can be updated and….”
Ben and the other glared over evilly before Helen could finish speaking. She changed her stance right away and said, “Let’s pretend I never said anything.”
“Dr. Wright, please allow me to take you to your room,” suggested Raina quickly to lead the good doctor away.
