After Peter took his leave, Charlotte sent someone to look into Queenie’s case. It was confirmed that she contracted AIDS, and she was undergoing treatment in a hospital.
She had an elderly mother and a young daughter at home, and the situation wasn’t looking good for them.
After Charlotte knew about Queenie’s condition, she regretted not giving Peter more money. She was about to call him back so she can issue another check, but then she got news that Peter gave all the money to Queenie.
Charlotte didn’t talk about it, but she thought it was a considerate move from Peter. Olivia found a good boyfriend. Peter might be working in a shady line of work, but he’s kind and compassionate.
Charlotte told Raina to contact the hospital Queenie was receiving treatment. Raina’s hospital would cover all of Queenie’s treatment costs. She even donated some money to Queenie’s mother and child anonymously.
After she was done, she told Raina to check everyone’s blood, including Spencer and his men. The chances of them getting infected were slim, but it was never zero.
Zachary was working while all of this was happening. Bruce suddenly hurried over and hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Mr. Nacht, I have news for you, but…”
“What is it?” Zachary asked without even looking at him.
Bruce hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Um, Raina called me earlier. She told me to get Andy and the guys checked. A blood test, to be specific.”
“What?” Zachary finally looked up at him.
“Did she say why?”
“It’s Ms. Lindberg’s orders.” Bruce had mixed feelings about it. Back then, he stumbled upon Charlotte coming out of Chris’ room, her clothes messy. And he even overheard their conversation.
That matter had been frustrating him for a long time now, and he blamed himself for keeping it a secret from Zachary. He blamed himself for failing to protect Charlotte.
