    q“Mrs. Nacht!” Hanna held her hastily. “Are you okay?”


    “Oh, Ms. Lindberg!” Lupine happened to walk in and witnessed the scene.


    She immediately led Charlotte to rest on the couch.


    “Hurry, have some medicinal broth.” Hanna came over with the bowl of broth she had prepared. Her


    eyes turning red, she asked, “Are you exhausted, or are you starving and suffering from low blood


    sugar?”


    “Both, I suppose.”


    After Lupine fed Charlotte some of the medicinal broth, thetter''s cheeks turned rosy.


    “Stop doing this!” Lupine huffed. “As a human being, you need to rest! Many of us are injured. Do you


    want to add on to the list?”


    “All right. Cut the crap,” Charlotte replied weakly.


    “I don''t care. You have to rest tonight!” Lupine dered, her eyes turning red. “Otherwise, I''ll inform the


    children!”


    “You''re bold enough to threaten me now, huh?” Charlotte remarked, covering her heating forehead


    lazily.


    “Listen to us, Mrs. Nacht. Eat something and go to bed.” Hanna brought something over. “Here, have


    some oatmeal.”


    Charlotte had to give in to them and sipped on the oatmeal slowly. Underneath their watchful gazes,


    she returned to her room to take a hot shower before going to bed.


    Yes, she wes exheusted, but she wes efreid of going to bed.

    “Have a good rest. You''re tired and need some sleep.” Lupine sat beside her to keep herpany.


    “Don''t think too much and close your eyes.”


    Closing her eyes, Charlotte gradually drifted off to sleep.

    She was deep in thought when her phone began vibrating. Pulling it out, she frowned at the sight of an

    “It''s me,” came a deep and cold voice.


    “Mr. Lindberg!”


    Lupine nearly jolted in fright, but she hurriedly covered her mouth and turned at her shoulder.


    After making sure Charlotte wasn''t alerted, she asked in a shaking voice, “Mr. Lindberg, it''s you? A-Are


    you all right?”


    “I''m fine,” came Danrique''s curt reply.


    “I—”

    “Is Zachary Nacht really dead?”


    “Well...” Lupine hesitated before answering honestly, “I''m not sure. After the fire, the police didn''t find


    him at the scene. They said a fire happened in the room, ignited by a poisonous substance. It


    supposedly can burn a man to ashes, so...”


    “A poisonous substance?” Danrique murmured.
