Due to circumstances beyond their control, Zachary and his family were not able to take their wedding photos. Instead, they had to head to the hospital.
Zachary’s arms were badly injured. Raina worked rapidly to treat the angry boils that had erupted on his forearm.
Charlotte was not hurt. She sat by him the entire time.
Olivia was at Raina’s hospital as well. She was being treated in a different ward.
When Zachary’s arm had been bandaged, Charlotte took the opportunity to pay a visit to Olivia.
She wept in remorse when Charlotte appeared. She did not have a choice in luring Charlotte to the men as they had threatened to harm Olivia’s mother.
Charlotte had learned after questioning Olivia that her mother had already regained consciousness and was discharged a couple of days ago. She was recuperating in her home.
Olivia had been working tirelessly to make ends meet. Her routine had been hectic but productive. She did not expect to be cornered on the street after work the day before and to be blackmailed to luring Charlotte out alone.
She refused at first, which was why they had beaten her up.
After that, they kidnapped her mother and extorted her. Olivia had no choice but to make the phone call to Charlotte.
Now that Olivia’s mother had been rescued by Bruce and his men, and that she was undergoing treatment for her wounds, Olivia couldn’t help but feel guilty towards Charlotte.
“Who are they?” Charlotte asked Bruce. “Those are the men hired by Ms. Blackwood,” Bruce replied in a low voice.
This piece of news shocked Charlotte. I thought that Sharon had given up. Turns out, she is still hell-bent on committing atrocities.
“When Mr. Nacht received word of your danger, he rushed out to you. Her people tried to slow him down by blocking his way on the road. However, she did not expect me to follow you when you left. We were lucky to have been able to avoid a disaster today.”
Bruce narrated the general flow of events to Charlotte. “Now that we have gotten to the bottom of this,” he added, “Mr. Nacht will take care of the rest. Don’t worry.”
Charlotte nodded. “Please take care of Olivia and her mother.”
“Don’t worry, ma’am, I will,” said Bruce.
