Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1369
“I need to run an errand. I will be away for two days. I’m flying at two later. I will be back by tomorrow night.”
“What do you have to do? I can send someone to get it done,” Zachary insisted, still holding her and. “I don’t want to leave you.”
“Dr. Felch just passed and I need to check if everything was properly taken care of. I need to see to this myself. This is the last thing I can do for him.”
“Alright…” Zachary finally let go of her.
“I will be back in no time. You take care,” she said gently.
Zachary nodded lightly.
“I’ll go home first to check on the kids,” she added, looking at her watch. It was already eight in the morning. She would need to hurry. She held Zachary’s hand and bent down. “I’ll see you tomorrow night.”
“Sure.” Zachary did not want her to leave, but he knew she had to. “Bring more men with you. I’ll make sure the kids are fine.”
“Thanks.” Charlotte took another reluctant look at him before leaving.
“We’ll make a move first, Mr. Nacht,” Lupine said with a bow.
Zachary looked grave watching them leave.
“The wounds look fine. I’ll get the paperwork ready to check you out,” Raina said.
“Great,” Ben replied.
He closed the door after the doctors left and poured Zachary some water.
“Call Hayley and Sam. Make sure they don’t tell Charlotte anything,” Zachary reminded.
Ben looked at him in bewilderment. “Do you think she will ask them?”
“I think so. We need to take preemptive steps,” Zachary said solemnly with his gaze low.
“I’ll do it right away.” Ben went out to make a call. After about ten minutes, he entered the room again. “It’s all done, Mr. Nacht.”
“They are trustworthy people. They won’t betray us. I’m just afraid they will give in to Charlotte’s entreat or accidentally say something wrong. Did you make it clear to them?”
“Yes, I did. I told them to hurry her home after she paid her respects.”
“Good,” Zachary said weakly. He sat back down to rest, gradually closing his eyes into a slumber.
Ben pulled his blanket over him and stood watch beside him. He was worried about Zachary.
Outside the hospital, Lupine had been making a few calls. “Ms. Lindberg, as you expected, I can’t get through to Hayley. It keeps saying she’s on another call. Do you think she’s been over the phone with Ben?” Lupine asked.
“Hayley and Sam don’t have a lot of friends. They don’t know anyone else other than us,” Charlotte noted seriously, “It will be too coincidental. Her phone has been busy ever since we came out of the hospital.”
“Does this mean Mr. Nacht is really hiding something from us?” Lupine was worried sick.
Charlotte fell into silence, a stoic expression hanging on her face.
Morgan’s car pulled up in front of the hospital and the two women were about to get in when a silver Maybach drove over. The window on the backseat rolled down to a beautiful face. “Do you have a few minutes to spare, Ms. Lindberg? It won’t take long.”
Charlotte looked at her watch and went into her car with Lupine.
Morgan’s car followed closely behind.
The two cars drove toward Rokan Hill and Nancy spoke first. “Is Mr. Nacht awake?”
“Yes, he is. You should go check on him if you’re worried,” Charlotte said briefly.
“I will drop by later, but I’d like a word with you before I see him. I’ll send you home, so I won’t delay you. I hope you don’t mind just having short chitchat with a friend.”
“What is it you want to talk about?” Charlotte went straight to the point.
