Someone had dropped a glass vase from above.
Someone had dropped a glass vase from above.
Zachary was bleeding profusely, and half of his face was covered in blood in no time. Soon, blood stained his white shirt, coloring it scarlet.
Charlotte widened her eyes in shock as she stared at him dumbfoundedly. Her heart was aching so much as if that vase had struck it.
If Zachary had not pushed her away, the vase would have landed on her head, and she would be the one bleeding instead of him.
Stupefied, Michael stood rooted at the spot.
“Mr. Nacht!” Ben dashed over and supported Zachary while instructing, “Call Raina now! Quick!”
“Understood.” One of the subordinates made the call immediately.
“Mr. Nacht, you...” Nancy was in so much shock that she started crying. “Why are you so silly? Why did you...”
“I'm fine.” Zachary had his head lowered as he pressed his hand against his wound. He was obviously in so much pain since even his face had turned pale, yet he remained calm and gave out an order. “Ben, send Ms. Gold home.”
“Yes, Mr. Nacht.”
“That's not what you should be worrying about now,” Nancy said in between sobs. “I'll take you to the hospital.”
“It's okay.” Zachary held up his hand and rejected her offer. “Have you forgotten that you... Go back now.”
“But—”
She wanted to say something else, but he was not in the mood to listen. Instead, he turned toward Charlotte and pointed at the woman. “Get in the car with me,” Zachary ordered domineeringly.
Charlotte was still standing motionless, her face as white as a sheet.
“Charlotte...” Michael snapped out of his shock and gave her a nudge.
“Ms. Lindberg, get in,” Ben said while helping Zachary into the car.
At the same time, one of Zachary's subordinates escorted Charlotte into the vehicle.
Michael watched as the car sped off and only regained his senses when it was out of his sight. Immediately, he instructed his subordinate, “Check which room did that vase drop from. Go now!”
