Knock! Knock! Someone knocked on the door.
Lucky looked at the monitor and reported, “Mr. Nacht, Dr. Langhan is here.”
“Let her in,” Zachary responded.
“Yes.” Lucy opened the door and invited Raina in.
“Mr. Nacht, I have something to report after careful deliberation.” Raina whipped out a file and told him, “Ms. Lindberg called me this afternoon. It’s about Olivia…”
After hearing what she had to say, Zachary took the file and glanced at it briefly. “It seems pretty hard to invite Dr. Wright here. Do you want me to do it?”
“Of course not,” Raina replied with a bitter smile. “Truth to be told, even if Dr. Wright is here, the chances of her saving Olivia are pretty slim. Ms. Lindberg will feel better if she’s here.”
“Let’s do it, then.” Zachary made up his mind. “Give me Dr. Wright’s number. I’ll call her now.”
“Yes.” Raina gave the said number to him at once.
At the same time, on the way back to Northridge.
Charlotte was gripping her phone, her expression livid. “How could she? I did my very best to convince her and even offered a huge reward, but Dr. Wright refused to say yes.”
“Those capable doctors are usually difficult to please,” Lupine said with a grin. “She doesn’t know your identity. She must be afraid that it was a prank call and rejected your offer.”
“That seems plausible,” Charlotte answered, her brows knitted together. “Do I have to fly to M Nation and extend an invitation personally?”
“If you leave, what about the kids?” Lupine said hastily. “Though you’re usually busy, and Morgan takes good care of them, at least they get to see you at night. Knowing you are here gives them a sense of security. If you leave, they will fret for sure.”
“Yes.” Charlotte was plagued with worry. “Robbie, Jamie, and Ellie have their father, but the little ones only have me. Their parents aren’t with them.”
