“Either way, the Blackwoods will be finished sooner or later...” Bruce had always been the one not to mince his words. “But if Taylor were to come to you to beg now, how would you respond?”
“I'll leave him alone,” Zachary replied as he frowned, “There are always consequences to one's actions. The Blackwoods will have to live with the outcome they have brought upon themselves.”
After all, he himself was fully exposed and vulnerable. Unable to protect himself, he could not afford to care for others.
Bruce caught his hint and acknowledged, “Understood. If he calls again, I'll find another excuse to reject him.”
Very soon, their car reached the hospital.
Raina was already waiting at the door. Seeing Zachary's car pulling over, she immediately rushed to meet him. “Mr. Nacht.”
“What's up?” Zachary hurriedly headed towards the hospital.
“He's out of the critical stage,” Raina informed, but continued solemnly, “However his current state is still dangerously unstable. We'll have to observe for another twenty-four hours to access the situation.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, Zachary was glad. After all, not being in a life-threatening situation was already a blessing in the midst of misfortune.
“What went wrong? How could he just fall down like that?” Zachary frowned as he questioned.
“Here's the surveillance recording of Fairytale Land. You can view it yourself.” Raina handed the tablet in her hand to Zachary.
He took a look and furrowed his brows even deeper. This showed Henry's lapse of judgment. After all, Robbie had a safety harness coupled with his climbing rope. Yet Henry chose to jump out to save others, causing his own fall...
“Mr. Zachary, you're finally back.”
Spencer greeted him excitedly. His pair of muddled old eyes were bloodshot red.
“Grandpa was really...” Zachary was both anxious and angry. “At such an advanced age, does he still think that he is young? He's nearly a century old, yet he chooses not to pay any heed to his own body condition at all.”
“Mr. Henry cares too much for the children,” Spencer defended in a choking voice. “His fall two years ago resulted in two full months of hospitalization. Since then he never really stood up well. For him to experience another fall now... Even though it may not be life-threatening, yet...”
