Ben pouted aggrievedly, not daring to utter a word.

“Don't take it out on him,” Zachary said calmly. “The truth is I've been struck with an incurable disease, and I don't know how much longer I'll live. That's why I drafted this will—just in case anything happens.”

“What?” Flabbergasted, Spencer fell into a daze and snapped back to reality after a long while. “What incurable disease? Are you joking around, Mr. Zachary? D-D-Don't do this to a geezer like me. I won't be able to take it at this age.”

“I'm not joking,” Zachary answered coolly. “Do you remember Cynthia Blackwood?”

“You're talking about Taylor Blackwood's eldest daughter, right? Yes, I do remember her. But why are you bringing her up now?” Spencer replied anxiously.

“After I exposed her tricks in front of Grandpa back then, she threw some poison at Charlotte, but I took the bullet instead.”

Zachary recounted the previous incident calmly and sighed.

“She shot me a vicious look before being taken away by the cops, signing that I would join her soon. I thought nothing of it at first, and it was only later that I realized what she had meant. I never expected the poison to be so deadly that I'd fall sick from it just by getting some in my eyes.”

“How could this have happened? That horrible woman!” Spencer shook with rage. “Have you talked to Dr. Felch? He's an expert in toxins, isn't he? If he could cure both Charlotte and Ellie, surely he'd be able to help you too—”

“It's too late,” Zachary cut him off. “Dr. Felch has passed away.”

Spencer froze in astonishment. “He's gone? When did that happen?”

“Just a few days ago. Charlotte and I sent him off after taking care of everything necessary,” Zachary answered flatly. “That's why there's no one who can cure me anymore.”

“How is that possible...” Spencer refused to accept the truth. “No, there has to be another way.”

“There's a guy called Francesco, who used to be Dr. Felch's apprentice. We've been searching for him all this while, but we haven't got a clue about his whereabouts,” Ben chimed in.
