Zachary was well aware of how the poison reacted. When the attacks came, Charlotte would be in excruciating pain. But after that, she would be no different than an ordinary person.
However, once the poison seeps into the bone marrow, the frequency of the attacks would increase. When it is fully absorbed into the blood, Charlotte would then lose her life.
At that point, there was no point in relying on Dr. Felch. Even if he woke up, he still needed time to recover before he could start treating Charlotte.
That would take at least one to two months. Charlotte couldn’t afford to wait that long.
Hence, the only choice was to find Zara.
Perhaps, she might have the antidote.
Holding that thought, Zachary gave Chris a call.
During that period, Zara seemed to have disappeared and was just uncontactable. Nevertheless, Zachary knew Chris must have some way of getting in touch with her.
Soon, the call connected and a guilty voice was heard over the line. “Zachary…”
“Tell your Mom to state her demands and hand over the antidote!”
“What? What happened?” Chris was stunned.
“Just pass the message.”
The moment he finished, Zachary ended the call.
He knew that if anyone in the world could find Zara, it would be Chris. As long as he had passed the message along, Zara would naturally get in touch with him.
“Zachary, are you ready?” Charlotte yelled from outside. “The makeup artist is here. So, I’ll head over first.”
When Zachary came out of the bathroom and saw that Charlotte was in high spirits, he smiled in satisfaction. “Go on. Let them help you cleanse your skin before applying makeup.”
“Mmm-hmm.” Charlotte came closer and gave him a peck. “I’m really happy today.”
