Bruce gave Zachary first aid hastily and rushed him to the hospital. He managed to give Raina a call on the way there.
By the time they reached the hospital, both Ben and Raina were already waiting anxiously at the main entrance. They darted toward Zachary and called out incoherently, “Mr. Nacht...”
“He has been poisoned! Hurry up and treat him immediately!” Bruce urged, his forehead beaded with sweat.
“What happened?” Ben asked apprehensively.
“Mr. Nacht bumped into Mr. Linberg when he went to fetch Robbie just now. They had a conflict...” An utterly vexed Bruce switched to grumble, “Why didn't you and the others tag along with him? How could you let him go there by himself?”
“He rushed out all of a sudden just now, and we had to take good care of Ms. Elisa here...” Ben heaved a deep sigh and mumbled, “Anyway, this is not the time to argue now. Let's keep our fingers crossed that Mr. Nacht will be fine.”
Raina attended to Zachary right away. The moment Spencer knew about Zachary's current condition, he was a bundle of nerves.
At the moment, the Nacht family was in a precarious situation, troubled by internal and external threats. If anything happened to Zachary, it would surely be a deadly blow to the family.
After the press conference earlier, a series of matters were pending to be settled by Zachary. If he were unable to show his face during this period of time, the others might start to sense something awry and spread rumors. Hence, Zachary must have a speedy recovery.
Spencer instructed a few experienced specialists from Kindness Hospital to assist Raina. Apart from that, he reminded Ben to keep the news of Zachary's injury under wraps.
At the same time, he kept reminding them to cool their heads off so they would not act impulsively. They could not take the risk to let their guards down and must brace themselves for any potential obstacles.
When the hospital was in chaos, there were some hiccups in Northridge as well.
Crash! Robbie smashed something on the floor. It turned out to be Danrique's favorite antique teapot which was priceless. The maids usually handled it with extra care when they cleaned it, fearful of even leaving the slightest stain.
At the sight of the shattered pieces on the floor, both Lupine and Morgan were ashen-faced, holding their breaths.
Meanwhile, Danrique was gardening in the backyard. His slender figure could be seen through a well-crafted wooden partition.
