qWhen “Zachary” saw Hanna and the other take away his things, he gritted his teeth and glared at Charlotte. “You're a cruel woman!”
“I'm doing this for your own good.” Looking at the untouched bowl of vegetable soup, she frowned. “If you don't eat that, there won't be anything else for you.”
“I refuse.” “Zachary” turned his head away in defiance.
“Fine. Put on your shoes. We're going to the loft in the backyard,” Charlotte urged. “Hayley and Sam are already waiting for you.”
He furrowed his brows. “Must I go?”
“You can choose not to.” Charlotte did not insist. “If you don't want to be treated with traditional medicine, you will have to see Raina and do a full body checkup. After that, you will have to accept treatment with modern medicine, and—”
Before she could even finish her utterances, “Zachary” was already putting on his shoes. “Traditional medicine is a legacy of our nation. Therefore, we should believe in it.”
“That's the spirit.”
Breaking out into a smile, Charlotte led him to the loft in the backyard.
Along the way, she reminded the maids and subordinates. “From today onward, Mr. Nacht will be continuing his treatment. Therefore, all of you have to monitor him closely. He isn't allowed to drink nor eat whatever he wishes to. Also, he cannot leave on his own accord. If he has any instructions, report them to me and get my permission first. And if anything happens, inform me immediately.”
“Yes, Mrs. Nacht!”
Everyone took orders from Charlotte as if she was the head of the household.
Meanwhile, “Zachary” was flabbergasted by everything that had just transpired. Why does it feel like I've come to the wrong place? This place feels more like the Lindberg residence than the Nacht residence.
“Stop looking around. We're in Northridge,” Charlotte stated as if she knew what he was thinking. “Although most of them are your men, they only take orders from me.”
“Zachary” was rendered speechless as a gloomy look crept into his eyes. It was as if he had a premonition of imminent danger.
By the time they arrived at the loft, Hayley and Sam had prepared the herbal concoction and poured it into a wooden bucket. At the same time, the needles for acupuncture were also ready.
