“Ms. Windt, can we start now?”
Charlotte's stylist was waiting for her by the corridor.
“Sure.” Charlotte prepared to head for the makeup room.
“Miss, Miss...” At that moment, Mrs. Berry cried out from downstairs. “Olivia is here!”
“Olivia?” Charlotte turned around and saw Olivia standing meekly by the stairs.
“Charlotte!” Olivia ran up excitedly. “Congratulations!”
“Thank you!” Charlotte grabbed onto her and scrutinized her from head to toe. “Have your wounds all healed?”
“Yes, they have.” Olivia nodded with a smile. “Thank you!”
“No thanks are needed. We're family, after all, so don't be a stranger,” Charlotte replied, holding her hand.
“Charlotte, I'll need to entertain Mr. Windt's old friends. So, I'll leave Olivia here with you.” Mrs. Berry looked to be in a hurry. “I have to go now. Call me if you need anything.”
“Alright, go on ahead.” Charlotte nodded as she watched Mrs. Berry leave.
The house was bustling with activity as everyone was preparing for the wedding. The festive atmosphere naturally lifted everyone's spirits.
Everyone was busy with their own preparations except for Zachary, who was waiting for a call in the study.
“Mr. Nacht, everything is ready. Mr. Henry has gone to the church ahead of time to receive friends and relatives...”
After he arrived in a hurry to report, Bruce saw Zachary staring blankly at his phone. He carefully asked, “Are you alright?”
Zachary was briefly silent before answering, “Is there any news from Zara?”
“No.” Bruce shook his head and probed, “Has Ms. Windt...”
Bruce didn't dare finish the sentence but he got his answer by reading Zachary's expression.
“Don't worry. I've spoken to Raina in the morning. She said that Dr. Felch's condition is improving. He should be awake very soon,” Bruce reassured softly.
