Chapter 1045


    Charlotte was not the slightest bit surprised, probably because she knew him too well and was mentally


    prepared. Even so, she asked softly, “How about the kids?”


    “Bring them back. I want you to set off three dayster,” Danrique responded right away, as though he


    could predict that she would ask the question. He hung up right after instructing her on that.


    Holding the phone in her hand, Charlotte stared into space out of the window in silence. After quite a


    while, she finally broke the silence by instructing Lupine, “Get the South Sea projectpleted as soon

    as possible.”


    “Noted, Ms. Lindberg,” Lupine replied respectfully with her head lowered.


    “I will go up now to catch some sleep. Don''t wake me up unless there is something,” Charlotte dragged


    herself up to her room in weariness.


    After taking a shower, she got changed and continued to dry her hair at the dressing table.


    Looking at her own reflection in the mirror, Charlotte''s mind was gradually drifting. She felt a turmoil of


    emotions as snippets of the previous incidents shed across her mind. She recalled how Zachary


    pointed the gun at her to save Henry.


    The moment of Zara scoffing at her before she breathed thest breath kept floating in her mind. “As a


    member of the Lindberg family, it''s a shame that you do not possess assertiveness and determination


    like them. You are indeed a fool by cing righteousness above everything and tend to be over


    submissive, just like the


    others from the Windt family!”


    Sadly, Charlotte shared the same sentiments with her. If her father were more assertive and


    determined, he would not have met with such a tragic end.


    If I were more assertive and determined at that time, the horrible incident might not have befallen Mrs.


    Berry. Other than that, I would not have to go through those obstacles. It is undeniable that I only have


    myself to me for putting myself in a tight spot.


    Charlotte''s phone buzzed all of a sudden. It was a call from Zachary. She hung it up right away and


    blocked his number. At that very moment, she made up her mind that she would have no truck with the


    Nacht family ever again.


    Zachary''s face fell instantly when the line on the other side went dead.


    He turned to look in the direction of the emergency room. The doctors were still attending to Henry by


    all means.


    He had a heart attack after shooting Zara to death earlier on. As a result, Zachary rushed him to the


    hospital.


    Even though the police was aware that Henry was the one who fired and killed Zara, they were unable


    to take any actions under such crucial circumstance.


    Two hours had psed ever since Henry was sent to the emergency room, but there was no sign at all.


    Raina had stepped out once earlier and updated Zachary warily. “Mr. Nacht, you have to be prepared


    for the worst. Mr. Henry has been troubled by health issues all this while. After what happened just


    now, I''m afraid...”


    She paused, gulped, and said softly, “I suggest that you bring the kids over. I bet Mr. Henry is looking


    forward to meeting them again for thest time.”


    That was why Zachary gave Charlotte a call. No doubt, he knew that Charlotte had no intention to see


    him, answer his call, or hear his voice any more. Perhaps she has even made up her mind that she


    won''t cross paths with me again!


    Nheless, Zachary could not think of any other way at the moment.


    “Mr. Zachary...” Spencer called him haggardly. He was weak as a kitten after being shot twice. Seated


    in the wheelchair pushed by a bodyguard, gloominess was written all over his face.


    Zachary advanced toward him without hesitation. “Mr. Spencer, you should not get out


    of the bed. You need a good rest.”


    “How can I rest well when Mr. Henry is still fighting for his life in the emergency room?” Spencer


    murmured with teary eyes. “Mr. Henry is too kind. He shouldn''t have saved that sinful woman who has


    disgraced the Nacht family.”


    “Mr. Spencer, there''s no point to talk about this now...” Zachary mumbled.


    Zachary''s frown deepened into a scowl. Even though he had the same stance as Spencer, he did not


    have the heart to castigate Henry.


    “Mr. Zachary, can you please bring the kids to meet Mr. Henry for thest time?” Spencer choked up


    and pleaded, “This should be his only wish at the moment after the devastating whammy. Can you


    please grant his final wish?”


    Even so, he held back thest few words, which were too painful for him to tell Zachary. Deep down, he


    hoped that it was not just his wishful thinking for Henry to meet the kids onest time before he could


    rest in peace.


    Stifling the simmering anguish in his heart, Zachary mumbled, “I know. I will go and fetch the kids now.”


    “Try to pacify her by talking things out with her,” Spencer advised him. “After all, we have owed her too


    much all this while. Try to bear with it, regardless of how oppressive her words are. We can''t me her


    for harboring a grudge against us. Bear in mind not to exacerbate the situation by infuriating her


    further.”


    “All right, I know what to do,” Zachary nodded and instructed Bruce to keep his guard up outside the


    emergency room. After that, he headed to Northridge with Ben and Marino right away.
