Recently, it had been extremely easy for Zachary to feel lethargic. Although he had just woken up in the morning, he wanted to take a rest again.
Noticing how his health had been deteriorating, Ben could not help but feel concerned. If we still can't find Francesco, I'm afraid that...
At that thought, he was ridden with worry. After making the rest of the arrangements for Zachary and Nancy's meeting in the evening, he was thinking of calling Bruce when Lupine's call came in.
As she had asked to meet him, he had no choice but to delay the call.
Due to the lesson from last time, Ben became much warier and kept reminding himself not to let her pry out information from him.
Meanwhile, before Lupine left, Charlotte exhorted her repeatedly, “Remember what I said! You must dig out the truth from Ben.”
“Understood.” Lupine nodded.
“Go on, then.” Charlotte gestured for her to leave, and she hurried out.
Ever since Charlotte discovered by chance that Zachary would lose his sight intermittently, she had suspected that something was wrong with his health. Although she had sent Lupine to investigate it, she did not find anything.
When she met Zachary earlier that day, she thought he looked rather pallid. Even his eyes seemed clouded. At that observation, worry gnawed at her.
Hence, she instructed Lupine to ask Ben out and fish for some clues.
Although Lupine was brilliant, she could not compare to Ben. With that in mind, Charlotte taught her a method and told her to act as instructed.
Ben and Lupine arrived at the agreed-upon meeting place simultaneously.
After getting into his car, she passed him an apple.
“Thank you!” Delighted, Ben took a bite of it.
