“You…” Zachary felt a sharp pain in his heart when he got agitated.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Nacht! I’ve sent someone to get Dr. Felch!” Ben reassured him.
Raina sobbed with her head hung low. “Time waits for no one… Ellie is…”
Cynthia walked up to Zachary and signed at him, ”Let me give it a try, Zachary! Trust me!”
With no other options left, Zachary could only take his chances with her. “Fine! If you can treat Ellie successfully, I’ll give you anything you want!”
“Cynthia will be able to treat Ellie for sure!” Taylor then turned toward her and urged her, “Hurry up and get your medical kit!”
Cynthia then grabbed her medical kit and ran into the ward.
Raina and the other doctors watched from the side while everyone else waited outside.
Zachary was incredibly weak at the time, but he insisted on waiting with everyone else and refused to go anywhere until he was certain that Ellie was fine.
It was truly a race against time to bring Ellie back from the brink of death.
Meanwhile, Charlotte was rushing toward South Sea Hotel at the last minute.
One of Danrique’s men, Sean, greeted her the moment she got out of the car and warned her, “Mr. Lindberg is very unhappy. Be careful, miss.”
“Danrique is here already?”
Charlotte knew Danrique never showed up in public and would usually operate behind the scenes.
“Yes, about half an hour ago. Hurry up and head on inside! The ceremony is about to start!” Sean said softly.
“Got it! Thanks, Sean!” Charlotte thanked him with a nod.
A huge crowd of journalists had gathered at the entrance of South Sea Hotel and snapping away as Charlotte came in dressed fully in white with eight female bodyguards around her.
Charlotte simply ignored the camera flashes and made her way straight into the hotel, and a staff member then led them into a VIP elevator which took them upstairs.
Charlotte glanced at her reflection in the elevator’s mirror and fixed her hair as well as her earrings. She even applied some lipstick for the occasion.
There were thousands of journalists waiting for her at the venue for the press conference, and the whole place was in an uproar when Charlotte entered.
Despite being bombarded by tons of blinding camera flashes, Charlotte was able to maintain her composure and gracefully make her way to her seat.
“Charlotte… How could you show up so late when you’re the star of the show here? Even I arrived thirty minutes in advance!” Louis’ gentle voice was heard as he came in through the other entrance.
“Have you seen my brother?” Charlotte asked coldly.
“Yes, I have…” Louis wiped the sweat off his forehead as he continued, “He’s a lot friendlier to me now, but he still gives me the chills.”
As Robert and Danrique had become business partners, they tried to get Louis and Charlotte to date each other; hence, Danrique treated Louis like family.
Even so, that didn’t make Louis fear him any less.
“What’s there to be afraid of? My brother doesn’t bite! Just make sure you stay away from those pets of his!” Charlotte teased him.
“Please don’t bring that up again…” Louis groaned.
Charlotte smiled as she motioned at him, and the two took their seats on stage.
The emcee then began the opening ceremony by announcing the purchase of South Sea’s territorial waters before handing Charlotte the microphone.
Charlotte delivered a simple yet powerful speech about bringing nature closer to humanity and allowing mankind to appreciate the beauty of the ocean through deep-sea exploration.
The main idea was to build an underwater theme park connected by a glass tunnel so people would be able to observe the ocean life up close.
Naturally, an interesting idea like that was bound to attract the attention of all the journalists present. They bombarded Charlotte with tons of questions, all of which she answered with ease.
