Zachary stopped him mid-sentence. “Since it's something that shouldn't be said, then just leave it. Ben, send him off.”
“Yes, Mr. Nacht.” Ben replied.
It was a little awkward at that moment. Obviously, Zachary was chasing Taylor out.
Taylor heaved a sigh and said no more. He then turned around and left.
Spencer turned to Zachary and gazed at him. “I think you should at least let him finish his sentence. Perhaps he was just giving you a gentle reminder.”
“I doubt a woman would be able to influence my judgement.”
Zachary hated to see anyone speak ill of Charlotte, including Taylor.
“Mr. Blackwood is a righteous man who has a reliable and objective voice. Although he doesn't like to mingle with women because of Ms. Blackwood, he won't slander an innocent woman. Perhaps he was going to spill a secret...”
Zachary was annoyed and he cut him off. “Mr. Spencer! You're overthinking.”
“Alright then.” Spencer lowered his head and said nothing else.
Zachary changed into his isolation gown and entered the ward.
Henry was still in a coma and the doctor was checking on him. Upon seeing Zachary, the doctor immediately bowed to greet him.
“How is he doing?” Zachary asked softly.
“Mr. Nacht regained his consciousness from time to time. His head has been seriously injured from the fall. I'm afraid that he would remain in this condition for a period of time,” the doctor replied.
Zachary furrowed his eyebrows. “How long would that be?”
The doctor answered, “It's hard to say. It could be a week, a month, or perhaps longer. However, he is merely unconscious. He isn't suffering from pain.”
Zachary fell silent and looked at his grandpa with a complicated expression.
He used to find Henry annoying back when the latter was being unreasonable and threw tantrums at others. However, Zachary couldn't help but feel guilty towards his grandpa as he saw him lying on the bed, unmoving.
Zachary was well aware that his grandpa was old and his days were numbered.
