After a long while, Charlotte was still looking at Zachary in a daze, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile, Ben had taken off his shirt and pressed it on Zachary’s wound as a makeshift bandage to stop the bleeding.
However, the man gradually lost consciousness from the excessive loss of blood.
“Zachary…” Charlotte caught Zachary as he fell sideways. In a state of panic, she burst into tears. “Stay with me, Zachary!”
“The hospital is right ahead; we’re reaching soon!” Ben yelled anxiously. “Mr. Nacht, please hold on!”
Just then, the car came to an abrupt halt. A team of medical staff, led by Raina, rushed over. They opened the car door hastily and lifted Zachary onto a stretcher.
Ben, Charlotte, Lupine, and the rest followed the medical team until Zachary was brought into the emergency room.
While they were waiting outside, Lupine tried to comfort Charlotte. “Mr. Nacht will be fine, so don’t worry.”
The latter did not respond, merely standing at the doorway with her eyes fixed on the emergency room. Her hands were trembling, and her face remained pale.
She dared not imagine a life without Zachary.
What would I do without him? What will happen to the kids…
As she thought about it, fear and remorse washed over her.
Ring, ring.
Just then, Charlotte’s phone suddenly rang. Lost in her thoughts, she did not hear it at all until Lupine nudged her. “Ms. Lindberg, your phone.”
Charlotte whipped out her phone with her bloodied hands and saw it was Jamie. Immediately, she walked toward the side and picked it up. “Hello?”
“Mommy, when are you coming back?” Jamie asked.
Over the line, Charlotte could also hear the sounds of the other kids playing.
