“I thought Mr. Nacht has repented his mistakes after what happened to Cynthia. However, he still sent some men to keep an eye on us,” Lupine said disgruntledly.
“He won’t repent easily…” Charlotte snickered and said, “I understand that he wants the give the best to the children. However, if he stops me from going after Zara, I’ll not hold back anymore!”
“We’re still searching for Zara. Humph! She’s really good at hiding. On the other hand, Sharon is being kept at Southridge ever since she was captured. Do you think we should get her, given that the Nacht family is in trouble now?” said Lupine.
“It’s fine,” Charlotte replied without hesitation, “Sharon is just a nobody, and we don’t have to waste our time on her. For now, let’s focus on searching for Zara!”
There was another reason Charlotte let Sharon off the hook for now—she didn’t want to have a row with Zachary because Ellie was undergoing treatment. As such, she would settle a score with Zachary after Ellie recovered.
“Understood. I’ll send more man to search for Zara,” Lupine said politely, “I’ve assigned enough men at the hospital. Anyway, it’s time for me to take over the shift.”
“Okay.” Then, Charlotte nodded in response and stood up to go with Lupine. “I want to visit Morgan.”
“It’s rather late now. Why don’t you get some rest?” Lupine said, “Dr. Felch has checked up on Morgan and prescribed some medicine for her too. I believe she’ll recover soon.”
“I’ll feel relieved only after visiting her.” Charlotte felt guilty whenever she recalled that Morgan was shot because she wanted to save Charlotte. “After Mrs. Berry died because of me, I don’t want anyone to get hurt for me anymore!”
Many people from the upper class didn’t value their subordinates and maids at all. Hence, Lupine felt touched because Charlotte treated them as her family.
Later, Charlotte went to Morgan’s room. When Charlotte wanted to open the door, she heard Morgan speaking in a soft voice over the phone.
Since Charlotte knew that Morgan was calling Marino, she withdrew her hand from the doorknob and murmured to herself, “Well, I shouldn’t disturb her.”
“She must be drenched in love now,” Lupine added teasingly.
“It’s not a bad thing, isn’t it?” Charlotte smiled and continued, “You guys should live your own life instead of sticking around me.”
After returning to her room, Charlotte took a shower and blow-dried her hair.
