Chapter 1386


    Fortunately, Nancy knew better than to let the little things in life bring her down. Besides, if she didn''t


    have the tolerance, she never would''ve made it to where she was today.


    Her lips curled into a smile as she gazed tenderly at Zachary. “I''ll take my leave now. Get some rest, all


    right? I''lle by againter.”


    Zachary said nothing else, merely blinking to show his acknowledgment.


    With that, Nancy gave Ben and Raina a polite nod and walked away.


    Ben couldn''t help but admire her. He was impressed at how Nancy always kept her cool and remained


    friendly to everyone, regardless of the situation. Most people could never be like her, no matter how


    hard they tried.


    With Nancy gone, Raina proceeded to give Zachary a thorough check-up. “Mr.


    Nacht, I''m going to start with taking your blood pressure...”


    Ben stood at the side, relieved that Zachary had regained consciousness and was slowly recovering.


    “It''s good to have you back. You had all of us worried sick.”


    Zachary squinted his eyes and murmured, “What time is it?”


    “It''s half-past seven in the morning. The kids are awake and having breakfast downstairs. I told them


    you were still resting and that they shouldn''t disturb you—


    “Is Charlotte here?” Zachary interrupted.


    Ben was stunned for a moment as he exchanged nervous nces with Raina. After collecting himself,


    he replied, “Ms. Lindberg reached Mount Phoenixst night and is now paying her respects to Dr.


    Belch. When I spoke with Lupine, she said they might return a littleter.”


    Upon hearing that, Zachary nodded contentedly and slowly dozed off


    Ben heaved a silent sigh of relief even though deep down he was still in aplete state of panic.


    It was his first time lying to Zachary, after all, but what other choice did he have? Zachary was so weak


    that Ben couldn''t risk worrying him and aggravating his condition.


    Even though Zachary continued to drift in and out of sleep, his condition had stabilized enough for Ben


    to give Raina a much-needed break. More importantly, she needed to rest well to take care of Zachary


    throughout the night.


    After getting two of her most reliable medical staff to stay behind, Raina made her way downstairs.


    “Dr. Langhan!” Nancy greeted when she saw her walking over. “How is Mr. Nacht?”


    “His condition is stable, and it''s all thanks to you. Thank you for getting Dr. Wright to assist us.”


    A smile of relief crept across Nancy''s face.


    “Don''t mention it. I''m only d to have been of help. By the way, if there''s anything else you need, feel


    free to ask me.


    “Don''t worry. I know.”


    “I''ll be off now then,” Nancy said as she threw onest reluctant look up the stairs. “There''s nothing I


    can help with anyway, and I''d only get in your way if I stayed.”


    “N-No, not at all—” Raina stammered.

    “It''s okay. I''lle back when Mr. Nacht wants to see me,” Nancy cut in, still smiling warmly.


    Raina then walked Nancy to her car and only returned to the house when she had driven away.


    “Has she left?” Ben asked as he walked down the stairs.


    “Yes,” Raina replied, albeit with a tinge of guilt. “If she hadn''t brought Dr. Wright herest night, the


    consequences would have been disastrous. But now that we no longer have a use for her, we''re


    sending her home. It''s so—”


    “Once Mr. Nacht has recovered, he can thank her personally,” Ben interjected.


    “There''s nothing we can do for now.”


    “That''s true... All right, I’ll take my rest now. Watch over Mr. Nacht, and call me if anythinges up.”

    Sure.


    As soon as Bain a left, Ben immediately ordered Marino to take the three children to Northridge for a


    short stay.


    Even though Ben gave the excuse that the children miss the three little girls, the truth was that he didn''t


    want them to worry about Zachary and vice versa.


    Naturally, Marino knew Ben''s real intention and did his best to coax all three children to follow him to


    Northridge.


    Even when Jamie insisted on bidding goodbye to Zachary, Marino had to stop him with various


    excuses. Thankfully, Robbie stepped in just as Jamie was about to protest. “Daddy''s still sleeping. Let''s


    not disturb him!”


    “Oh, okay then!” Just like that, there were no more questions asked as Jamie happily hopped into the


    car.
