Chapter 970
“Let me check. Is the wound severe?” Zachary reached out his hand to take off Cynthia''s mask.
Cynthia immediately avoided him while taking a few steps back. ”l‘ve not taken out the needle. My look
is terrible now. I don''t want to startle you.”
“It''s all right. No matter how your look bes, you''re the prettiest in my eyes.” Zachary uttered gently,
“Please let me have a look. If it''s serious, I''ll ask Raina toe to treat you right away.”
‘‘There''s no need for that. Really. I look hideous now...” Cynthia shook her head insecurely while
signing.
“Cynthia, please take it off and show it to Zachary.”
Taylor stepped toward her abruptly and swiftly took off her mask.
At that instant, everyone in the room was shocked upon seeing Cynthia''s face. They did not expect it
would be so severe.
“How could this be?” Henry was befuddled. “Was the needle poisoned?”
Spencer took a closer look and said, “It must be.”
Cynthia lowered her head with embarrassment, covering her face with her hands.
“The Lindberg family expertise in poisons, and Danrique is a master in dealing with poison.” Taylor
uttered emotionally, “First, they poisoned Ellie, and then they used a poisonous snake to bite Zachary.
Now, they pierced Cynthia with a poisonous needle. This is outrageous!”
Spencer cut a side nce at him without saying anything.
“I didn''t know Charlotte had be so inhuman.” Henry was trembling incessantly with rage. “Zachary,
do you see that? That woman can''t be trusted.”
“Does Mr. ckwood mean this needle belongs to Charlotte?” Zachary observed Cynthia''s face. “I
don''t recall she owns something like this. But Cynthia is the one who has always been using needles.”
“The needle is not Ms. ckwood''s.”
One of the nurses weighed in abruptly.
“I''ve no idea where she got the needle.” Cynthia cried while signing. ”1 intended to treat her wound. But
there was a rumble of thunder, and she opened her eyes suddenly. After that, she
charged at me fiercely and used the needle to pierce me..."
“Did she use the needle to pierce you?” Zachary narrowed his eyes. “But why Mrs. Rawlston said that
you were the one who pierced Charlotte first?”
"No, that''s not it. I didn''t carry any
needle.” Cynthia immediately exined with her signnguage. ”1 merely wanted to check on her
wound. My hands were empty. ”
“The medical kit was still in my hand at that time,” The nurse added. “Ms. ckwood didn''t carry
anything.”
“Absolutely.” The other nurse spoke too. “Mrs. Rawlston was standing far by the door that time. And it
was dark inside the room. How could she possibly see what Ms. ckwood was holding in her hand?”
“Probably that''s right.” Zachary nodded faintly. “Mrs. Rawlston doesn''t have good eyesight after all.”
Spencer stared at Zachary with aplicated expression.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
“So it means that the needle belongs to Charlotte,” Henry spoke again in his harsh tone. “We can''t drop
this matter just like that. What if Cynthia''s look got disfigured?”
“Then what do you propose?” Zachary shifted the question back to Henry.
“Well...” Henry was rendered speechless for a while. If we settle this in private, the Lindberg family will
find us. If we send her to the cops, what''re we going to tell the three kids?“Forget it,” Cynthia signed
while crying. ’’She''s a mother of three, after all. And she''s the daughter of the Lindberg family. The
ckwood family can''t afford to piss them off And I don''t want to put Grandpa and Zachary in a bad
spot. ”
“But look at what she''s done to you...” Tears started welling up Taylor''s eyes at that moment.
“It''s all my fault. I wasn''t able to protect you.”
Just when Henry was about to say something, Zachary interrupted again, “The Nacht family owes you
this, and I make it up for you. To avoid further conflict, I''ll send here away tomorrow.”
After hesitating for a while, Zachary took out his phone. “Now, let''s send you to the hospital first.”
