Nancy took a long look at Charlotte and then at Ben.

Ben did not say a word but lowered his head.
Nancy understood his body language. They did not want unnecessary company.
“Then I'll get going first. See y'all.”
Nancy nodded at Charlotte courteously and left.
Ben sent a few subordinates to stand guard outside and the emergency room became less crowded.
“Can I go in and see him?” Charlotte asked Raina softly.
“Sure.” Raina brought her to get a change and went into the room with Charlotte.
Zachary was sleeping on the bed with an infusion needle attached to the back of his hand. He was on a ventilator and there was monitoring equipment beside his bed.
His wound was already dressed neatly with layers of bandages around his head, but there was still a hint of blood smell wafting in the air.
Charlotte was brought to tears looking at him in such a state.
She did not dare to move closer. She was afraid she would disturb his rest, but at the same time, she wanted him to see her when he woke up.
“Mr. Nacht kept calling out for you when he came in. You should just stay here tonight,” Raina told her.
“I will.” Charlotte walked over to the bed slowly without taking her eyes off Zachary.
“I'll step outside first. I need to talk to Ben.”
Raina and her assistant left as Lupine came in to accompany Charlotte.
When Ben saw Raina coming out of the room, he dashed over and asked, “How's everything?”
