Hesitating momentarily, Bruce asked, “Why are you asking this all of a sudden? What happened to Mr. Nacht?”
“Nothing…” Ben didn’t elaborate before ending the call. He raised his gaze at Ellie. “Ellie, can you contact Robbie? Don’t you have your smartwatch?”
“I do, but Robbie’s phone has been turned off. Perhaps, its battery is out.” Ellie felt dejected. “I miss, Robbie, Jamie, and Mommy…”
“Mommy! Mommy!” At that moment, Fifi flew in from the window.
“Fifi, you’re back!” Ellie was delighted to see her. “Is Jamie back too?”
“Back! Back!” Fifi squawked as she flew out.
“Let me take a look.” The moment Ben walked out of the room, he heard Jamie’s voice shouting excitedly as he came running in. “Daddy! Ellie…”
“Mr. Jamison is back!”
Mrs. Rawlston hurried out to welcome him. They were thrilled to see him as he could lighten up the somber mood of the house.
“Mrs. Rawlston, where’s Daddy and Ellie?” Jamie asked warmly.
“Upstairs, I’ll take you there now.” Holding his hand, Mrs. Rawlston led him up. Unable to contain her excitement, she remarked, “Mr. Jamison, it’s great to have you back. I am so happy to see you again.”
“I feel the same way too.” Jamie looked up at Mrs. Rawlston. “Mrs. Rawlston, what’s wrong? Why are your eyes red? Did someone bully you?”
“I’m fine. I’m just overwhelmed by the moment.” Mrs. Rawlston collected herself quickly. “Come, I’ll take you to see Daddy.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Jamie nodded and even greeted Ben, “Mr. Ben!’
“Good boy!” After chatting briefly with Jamie, Ben headed downstairs to see Spencer.
“Since Mr. Zachary mentioned that Ellie was bored at home, which isn’t helpful to the recuperation, Mr. Nacht instructed me to bring Jamie here to keep her company,” Spencer explained while drinking coffee.
“Mr. Nacht is attentive indeed.” Ben asked, “How is he by the way?”
“He is better now, but we can’t be too careful.” Spencer added, “Given Cynthia’s exceptional medical skills, I’m here to take her to the hospital where she can treat Mr. Nacht.”
“Doesn’t Serene Hospital have a lot of specialists? Actually, I think we should heed their advice-”
“Mr. Blackwood is here!”
Before Ben could finish, Taylor walked in from outside, causing him to hold his tongue.
“Ben, I appreciate what you have done.” Taylor acted as if he was the host. “Please take care of Spencer while I head upstairs to see Zachary.”
“Alright.” Ben smiled awkwardly.
“Given that the worst is over, shouldn’t you feel happy? What’s with the glum face still?” Spencer noticed his sullen expression. “Is Lindberg Corporation applying pressure again?”
“No…” Ben felt the urge to discuss the Blackwoods with Spencer. However, given how much Spencer and Henry trusted them, he knew it would be a waste of time. In fact, his intentions might even be misconstrued.
Hence, he changed the topic. “Mr. Nacht has yet to fully recover. Hence, I’m still worried about him.”
“With Cynthia around, he will be all right.” Spencer patted him on the shoulder. “I’m going off first. I’ll see you around.”
“I’ll walk you out.” After escorting Spencer out, Ben called Marino when he saw that there was no one around. “Please contact Ms. Lindberg and tell her I have something to discuss with her in private.”
“Ben, did you call the wrong person? Why are you asking me to get in touch with Ms. Lindberg…”
“Drop the act. Don’t think that I’m not aware of you going out with Morgan.”
“I… I didn’t.”
“Enough. Go get it done.”
“I understand. I’ll tell Morgan about it. Whether Ms. Lindberg is willing to see you or not is out of my hands.”
“Once you tell Morgan everything that’s happening within the Nacht family, Ms. Lindberg will naturally want to see me.”
