Chapter 1249


    “But now, we have no choice but to go against them. Let''s think of how we can solve the problem at


    hand first.” Morgan felt unsettled. “Considering Lady Sherlyn''s attitude, I don''t think she will let the


    matter slide. Why don''t we leave and return to either Erihal or H City?”


    “Erihal is definitely out of the question, as we might add to Mr. Lindberg''s troubles there.” Lupine gave


    Charlotte a look. “In H City, we have Mr. Nacht there...”


    “It''s toote to do anything now.” Charlotte stared in front of the car.


    Raising her gaze, Morgan slowed the car down at once.


    More than ten military vehicles had formed a barricade to block their way.


    “It''s the Laurent family''s men.” Lupine frowned. “I knew it. Lady Sherlyn isn''t going to let us off easy.


    “What do we do?” Morgan''s expression turned grim. “Why don''t we give Gordon a call?”


    Just as she spoke, she took out her phone.


    “We can''t.” Charlotte stopped her. “Even if Gordon and his men are here, they wouldn''t stand a chance


    against them. Furthermore, they need to deal with the assassins from Erihal and protect the children.”


    “In that case, we...”


    “We''ll just have to go along with them.” Charlotte stared intently ahead. “I will have to face the


    consequences of my own actions.” “Perhaps, that''s for the best. After all, the few of us are here with


    you.” Lupine remarked defiantly, "I''m confident that the Laurent family won''t darey a finger on you.”


    “Mmm-hmm.” Charlotte ordered, “Slow down and drive ahead.”


    “Yes.”


    “Mr. Nacht, Lady Sherlyn has brought in the military to stop Ms. Lindberg and escort her back,” Ben


    reported.


    “Mmm-hmm.” Lowering his gaze, Zachary continued sipping his wine.


    “Everything is going ording to your expectations.” Ben looked grim. “However, will


    Ms. Lindberg and the others be in danger?”


    “Sir Robert knows where to draw the line. Now that there''s no news of Mr. Lindberg, he wouldn''t dare


    harm Charlotte yet,” Zachary was extremely calm.


    “But...” Ben stopped abruptly as he didn''t dare to continue. He knew that although Robert and Sherlyn


    might not darey a finger on Charlotte, the same couldn''t be said for Charlotte''s bodyguards.


    In fact, the Laurents might end up venting their frustration on Lupine and Morgan to threaten Charlotte


    instead.


    “Get someone to send her back home,” Zachary ordered as he looked at the unconscious Nancy.

    “Also, take proper care of her.”


    “Yes.” Ben made the arrangements at once.


    With his wine ss in hand, Zachary walked out to the hotel balcony. Looking out at the vibrant city


    skyline, his eyes were filled with mixed


    emotions.


    “Mr. Nacht, it''s time for your medication.”


    Havingpleted his assignment, Ben returned with a ss of water and handed Zachary a big box.


    Inside the box, there were ten types of tablets of different colors. Although they looked like candy for


    children, all of them were potent medications.


    After receiving the medicine, Zachary downed them all quickly. Just when he was about to drink from


    his wine ss, Ben stopped him. “The doctor has said that you can''t mix alcohol with your medication.


    Why don''t you have some water instead?”


    “Since I''m not going to live much longer, what difference does it make?”


    Zachary downed the entire ss of wine to wash down the tablets.


    “Don''t act that way. The doctor said that if we can find Francesco and Dr. Felch, there might still be a


    sliver of hope,” Ben consoled softly. “We shouldn''t be here struggling with Ms. Lindberg right now.


    Instead, we should return to H City to search for Dr. Felch.”


    “Hope is only useful whenforting someone,” Zachary inly remarked. “Life and death aren''t


    important. What really matters is that we live life to its fullest!”


    Not knowing what to say in response, Ben hung his head gloomily.


    Despite having received treatment for the past two months, Zachary was still unable to rid the poison


    from his body. Although his condition had improved, he would still feel immense pain at


    night.


    Having run out of ideas, the doctor suggested that they find Dr. Felch and Francesco as soon as


    possible.


    However, given that Charlotte and Louis'' wedding was around the corner, Zachary couldn''t wait any


    longer. After getting the doctor to prescribe him some medications, he led his subordinates to Arkfield


    to pick up Charlotte.


    s, what he got after arriving at Arkfield was not the happy ending he wanted but instead more


    heartbreak.
