As such, Ben wasn't planning on letting the Blackwoods know what happened to the Nacht family, but Spencer had informed them.
However, having looked after Henry the whole time, Spencer was oblivious to the recent events and told Cynthia everything.
“Ellie is in critical condition right now, and a slight mistake could very well lead to death. I can't bring myself to make that decision, so we should probably wait till Mr. Nacht wakes up,” Ben said with a frown.
“Let me go see Zachary! Spencer told me he was bitten by a venomous snake, and I have a way of saving him!” Cynthia signed at him anxiously.
“I...” Ben was still hesitant.
“Let her in. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong,” Spencer said decisively.
Naturally, Ben didn't dare to protest any further.
“Thank you for trusting me!” Cynthia signed at him in relief.
“Come on. I'll bring you to him.” Spencer then led Cynthia to Zachary to get him treated.
Taylor followed closely behind them, looking concerned like he had already acknowledged Zachary as his son-in-law.
“You head on over the airport,” Ben ordered Marino.
“Yes, sir!” Marino replied and left in a hurry.
Ben then kept a close eye on Cynthia and Taylor to ensure no harm came to Zachary.
Miraculously enough, Zachary regained consciousness an hour later with Cynthia's help.
“Mr. Zachary, you're awake!” Spencer was overjoyed. “You're amazing, Cynthia! I can't believe you were able to save him so quickly!”
“This acupuncture treatment will only help him remain conscious for the time being. It would take more time to fully rid his body of the venom. You'll need to continuously administer this treatment every day along with the use of herbs. It should take about a month for him to make a full recovery.” Cynthia signed.
“Zachary...” Taylor was about to say something but was interrupted by a medical staff who came running in. “Bad news! Ms. Elisa has started convulsing again!”
“What?” Zachary tried to get off the bed, but his body was so weak that he nearly fell down.
“Mr. Nacht...” Ben was quick to catch him and hold him steady.
“He mustn't move about too much or the venom will spread further into his system!” Cynthia signed anxiously.
Taylor quickly fetched Ben a wheelchair, and they both helped Zachary onto it before heading over to the ICU with him.
“What's going on here? How did this happen? All of you doctors can't even treat a single patient?” Spencer asked in a state of panic.
“The venom is simply too deadly! There's practically nothing we can do!” one of the doctors said with tears in his eyes.
