In the taxi, Charlotte called Zachary, but there was no response. She recalled that he told her he would return home late tonight.
Maybe he is busy.
After she hung up, she looked out of the window and recounted what happened today. She could not seem to process it.
Who the hell ordered the attack on Luna?
Was it Helena?
It is probably her.
Well, does Hector really not know about it then?
Did Owen really save Luna at that time?
Otherwise, did he participate in it too?
Charlotte's head started to hurt as she pondered over it. Taking a deep breath, she blocked it out.
It had nothing to do with her, and she did not wish to interfere.
By the time she reached home, it was past midnight. All her children were asleep. Changing into a new set of clothes, she headed upstairs.
Zachary had yet to return, and the house seemed empty and lonely.
It made Charlotte feel depressed. Since she could not sleep, she decided to wash her dress and hang it up to dry.
Then, she stood on the balcony and watched the traffic go by, hoping to spot Zachary's car.
At that moment, she missed him very much.
She only felt safe with him.
It was close to two in the morning, but Zachary was still nowhere in sight.
As Charlotte was too tired to wait any longer, she took a bath and slept first.
Probably because today's events were too shocking for her, she had a nightmare. She dreamt of Luna being covered in blood while questioning her for not saving her.
In her dream, Charlotte eagerly tried to explain but could not seem to make a sound...
Before she knew it, Luna pounced on her and squeezed her neck.
Charlotte jolted awake from the nightmare, sweating profusely while trembling in fear.
