In the meantime, one of Zara’s men broke the window of the Rolls-Royce and yanked Charlotte out of the car.
Charlotte gave him a strong kick in response. “Die!” uttered Zara as she pointed her gun at Charlotte.
“Ms. Lindberg…”
At this crucial moment, a person swooped in front of Charlotte and took the bullet for her.
Bang!
Charlotte was shell-shocked as blood splashed onto her face.
When she came back to her senses, she saw Morgan lying down beside her…
Morgan suffered another shot on her chest and was bleeding profusely. Her body twitched a few times before she passed out.
Charlotte stared vacuously at Morgan.
Her heart felt like it was being pierced through by a bullet.
Suddenly, the image of Mrs. Berry getting shot by Sharon was evoked in her mind.
Subsequently, all her other tragic memories started popping up in her head.
She was fraught with resentment and hatred.
Due to her intense emotions, the back of her head started aching.
My head. It hurts. It hurts so much…
“Charlotte!” Having evaded the bullets in the air, Zachary finally arrived by her side. “I’m sure she’ll make it. Don’t worry,” he assured her.
“Get Raina over here. Quick!”
“Yes!”
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, signaling the arrival of a thunderstorm.
Raina brought a few people with her before rushing over to Morgan’s aid.
“How is she?” Bruce was all worried.
“We need to head to the hospital now. The bullet was shot close to her heart. She’s in critical condition.”
Bruce hurriedly ordered his men to carry Morgan onto the ambulance.
“Let’s go! A thunderstorm is coming.”
Zachary helped Charlotte up from the ground.
Out of the blue, a thunderclap was heard.
Charlotte’s face immediately stiffened up. She lifted her head up and glared at Zachary.
“You! It’s all your fault! On the day of our wedding, you betrayed my trust. I was separated from my own kids because of you.
“How can the Nacht family be so callous and cruel? First, they took Mrs. Berry away from me. And now, they even want to take my bodyguard’s life.”
Zachary was taciturn.
She’s starting to remember…
“Zachary, you’ll pay with your life—”
Charlotte lunged herself at Zachary with murderous intent.
Instead of dodging her, Zachary merely closed his eyes.
At this moment, another thunderclap was heard.
Covering her head, Charlotte screamed in pain. There was blood coming out of her nose.
“Charlotte!” Zachary covered her ears and comforted her, “Everything’s fine. You’ll be okay.”
“Bruce, get the car over here,” he commanded.
“We’re still in the process of removing the traps on the road.” Bruce responded.
Raina was unable to send Morgan to the hospital because of the traps as well. Without any tools, the bodyguards would require at least two hours to finish clearing up the road.
“This is taking way too long. We won’t be able to save Morgan at this rate. Mr. Nacht, why don’t we bring her to our clinic? We can provide her with the necessary treatment there.”
“Okay. Quick. We must save her at all costs.”
“Yes.” Raina quickly brought Morgan over to the Nacht residence.
Under the lighting storm, Charlotte was behaving like a crazed animal. She was screaming frantically and pulling her hair.
Zachary held tightly onto her to deter her from harming herself.
Unfortunately for him, Charlotte’s attack didn’t stop there. She scratched his arm and even bit his neck trying to break free from him.
