After dropping his words, he turned around and walked to the bathroom.
Charlotte was stunned by his response. She gazed at Zachary till he slowly disappeared from sight.
Did I mishear him?
Was the man Zachary Nacht whom I know?
He was trying to communicate with me. He patiently explained the situation to me and he even reflected on himself.
He even said he will seek justice for my family because he's my future husband and the father of the children. He really took that to heart.
Charlotte couldn't believe her ears.
What's wrong with him?
Why is he so nice to me?
Don't be nice to me, Zachary. I won't be able to bring myself to leave you if you do that.
Charlotte couldn't help but feel a prickling in her nose as tears welled up in her eyes. She looked into the mirror. She looked normal now but she was uncertain about what the poison could do to her.
I'm like a time bomb. I have to stay away from Zachary.
Charlotte sounded firm and harsh when she said those words to Zachary. But deep down, she knew how difficult it could be for Zachary to go up against his own blood. She was well aware of the consequences.
What if she couldn't find a cure... If Zachary and the children witnessed her death with their own eyes, they would be devastated beyond belief. If that happened, Zachary would definitely avenge her.
When that happened, it would just end up hurting everybody.
Not only would Zachary be put in a difficult spot, but the children would also be dragged into the mess.
After all these years, the children could finally live in peace and happiness. Charlotte didn't want them to go through any suffering anymore.
Thinking of this, she drew in a long breath and wiped her tears off, then she continued to dry her hair.
I must be firm with my decision and talk to Zachary about moving out after he comes out of the bathroom. I have to leave, no matter what.
