Chapter 1148
Spencer returned to Southridge as he stood by the entrance with a cane in hand.
Spencer had aged greatly in a month as he couldn''t ept Henry''s death. He now looked like an old
man with white hair.
Even the way he held the cane had somewhat resembled Mr. Nacht.
“Mr. Spencer!” Jamie got off the car and ran towards Spencer.
The kids had treated Spencer as their Greatgrandpa ever since Henry''s death. They shared the
respect and dependency they had for Henry with Spencer.
“Hello, Jamie.” Spencer bent over to hug Jamie and patted him on his back. “I''m so d to see you.
“Hehe, me too.” Jamie giggled. “Are you feeling better, Mr. Spencer?”
“Much better.” Spencer rubbed Jamie''s head.
“It''s getting cold. We should get inside.”
“Alright.” Jamie nodded as he held the nurse''s hand and walked into the house.
Zachary stood by the car as he watched Spencer. He frowned and turned towards Ben and Bruce.

The duo quickly lowered their heads guiltily.
Raina also kept quiet and looked elsewhere.
“It seems like I''m an unwanted guest, Mr.
Zachary?
Spencer smiled warmly at Zachary.
“Nonsense.” Zachary walked up to him and smiled. “I''ve prepared some tea in my study room while
waiting. Would you like to have some?”
“Well, don''t mind if I do.”
Zachary ordered the servants to make tea as he entered the vi side by side with Spencer. Then, they
made their way to the study room.
Zachary took off his jacket and sat on the sofa. As he instinctively reached out for a ss of wine,
Spencer stopped him. “You shouldn''t be drinking anymore.”
The servants froze in horror.
Zachary waved his hand and the servants quickly backed away.
“Oh, don''t listen to those rascals, Mr. Spencer,”
Zachary exined. “I assure you, it''s nothing serious."
“Don''t try to hide it from me. I know everything.” Spencer sighed sadly. “I knew Cynthia was up to no
good from the start. Yet, I didn''t think she would do such a thing even at the brink of death.”
“I believe if Mr. Nacht had known that you were poisoned, he would have regretted for trusting the
wrong person.”
“Forget it, it''s history now. So, there''s no point talking about it anymore,” Zachary answered.
“Of course. She''s gone now anyway.” Spencer sighed.
“I can only hope that you would be able to recover with the help of the treatment. Charlotte is the best
example, so I believe you will recover
too.”
Mr. Nacht is gone, so you''re all the Nacht Group is left with. Can you imagine what would happen to it
without you? And the kids too! What would they do without you? Spencer thought to himself.
“I know...” Zachary nodded. “I''ll head to the office tomorrow to settle some matters before I start the
treatment. Therefore, I may need your help with the household matters.”
“Okay,” Spencer replied as he nced at Zachary''s hand that was covered with gauze. “I saw the news
and I know it must be very hard on you. But you must know that you have a long life ahead of you!
There''s always hope as long as you''re alive!” Spencer said.
“I know...” Zachary nodded. “I''ll head to the office tomorrow to settle some matters before I start the
treatment. Therefore, I may need your
help with the household matters.”
Zachary''s heart tingled when he heard those words. He''s right. I can turn things around as long as I''m
still breathing.
“Just focus on the treatment and everything will turn out for the better,” Spencer patted his shoulder
reassuringly. “Mr. Sterk will take care of thepany and I can look after the household on your behalf.
So, don''t worry.”
“Alright.” Zachary smiled and nodded. “The tea''s ready. Please try it.”
LL p ))
Sure.
The men then drank tea quietly in the study room as the sound of rain pitter-pattered by the windowsill.
Zachary noticed Spencer''s wrinkled hand when he poured tea for him. He couldn''t help but think of his
father and sighed. “Do you think my father regretted his decision when he passed?”
