Chapter 787
Zachary walked past Cynthia''s room, only to see the door left slightly ajar. Cain was alert as he stood in
the corridor, guarding the ce.
After some thought, Zachary decided against going upstairs and knocked on Cynthia''s door.
Two nurses came running to open the door and greeted him.
"Is she still awake?"
"Yes, Mr. Nacht. Ms. ckwood has been waiting for you." The nurses then smiled and excused
themselves from the room.
Waiting for me?
Zachary''s curiosity was piqued as he walked slowly in.
Cynthia was dressed in a whitece nightgown with her hair let down in the room. After fiddling about
at the incense table, a wisp of purple mist slowly appeared, emitting a fresh fragrance.
The effect of the mist entuated Cynthia''s beauty even more. She broke out into a warm smile when
she saw Zachary and gestured in signnguage. "Grandpa said you haven''t been sleeping well. I''ve
mixed somevender oil for you to ce in your room. It will help you sleep better."
"Oh, thank you."
Ben waited for Zachary''s order before he went in to take thevender oil and aromamp from Cynthia.
"Rest early." Cynthia remained still and looked tenderly at Zachary.
After saying goodnight, Zachary nced at
Cynthia and left the room.
Cynthia continued standing in her spot, watching Zachary walk away until he waspletely out of
sight.
Ben finally heaved a sigh of relief when they got back to Zachary''s room. "Do you want to light the
aromamp?” he asked.
"Go ahead."
For thest two years, Zachary had had nightmares every night, which took a toll on his mental health.
Henry told him that Cynthia might be able to help, but he never gave it much thought. Since she had
already prepared it for him tonight, he decided to give it a try.
"It looks like it''s going to rain tonight," Ben remarked as he lit the aromamp. "I''ll close the windows for
you. Have a good sleep after your
shower."
Zachary nodded and went into the bathroom,pletely unaware that his phone was vibrating.
Ben left the room after finishing his tasks, closing the door behind him. He got two subordinates to
stand guard outside Zachary''s before heading to his room to retire for the night.
At that moment, Zachary finished his warm shower and stepped out of the bathroom. Thevender
scent from the aromamp had engulfed the entire room. He had to admit that it had a very calming
effect.
After a few sses of wine, Zachary sat on the sofa to towel-dry his hair.

Just when he thought he could sit back and rx, his phone started vibrating again. It was Louis.
"Zachary, I need to talk to you. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got," Louis barked over the
phone. "You''re aware of my feelings toward Charlotte, so why did you do that?"
"She won''t like you," Zachary advised. "It''s best to give up now before you waste any more of your
time."
"How do you know she won''t like me?" Louis got increasingly agitated by the minute. "She caught my
hint yesterday and said we could date and see where it leads us. I even made preparations to profess
my love to her tonight, but you''ve ruined all that..."
"Oh really? That''s wonderful news!" Zachary replied with a smirk.
That was the straw that broke the camel''s back. "Zachary Nacht, I thought you were my best friend. But
after the way you''ve treated me, we''re no
longer friends!"
Zachary was about to exin himself when a deafening p of thunder rang out.
Soon after, he heard a blood-curdling scream over the phone.
That voice sounded so familiar that it stunned Zachary. "What was that?"
"I think that was Charlotte," Louis muttered. "I''m hanging up now. I need to check on her."
With that, the call ended.
Zachary held on to his phone with furrowed brows. That voice definitely belonged to Charlotte, but why
was there so much fear and panic in it?
