Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1382
"S-should we punish her?â asked a subordinate carefully.
âNo, we cannot hurt her,â answered Nancy while frowning, âShe is f*cking annoying, but Mr. Nacht
cares about her. He will be affected if anything were to happen to her.â
"Alright, then,â replied the subordinate who didnât dare to say much else.
âI wonder how Mr. Nacht is doing now.â
Nancy was on edge. She wanted to see how Zachary was doing, but she further considered the
situation and realized that Ben probably wouldn't let her see him. Hence, she had to back down.
She kept reminding herself. I must remain calm.
I cannot lose my footing and must have what it takes to remain unaffected despite the
overwhelming difficulty ahead. Only then will I have a shot at being Mrs. Nacht.
If I canât even do this, the maids and bodyguards will look down at me.
Still, Nancy was too worried, so she opened her door and told the maids stationed outside, âPlease
remember to come to get me once Mr. Nacht wakes up.â
"Okay, don't worry. We'll keep you posted on the matter,â replied the maid politely.
"Alright, thanks.â
Nancy shot a look at Zachary's room and noted that entire floor was extremely quiet. The treatment
is probably still going on.
âHow is he?" asked Ben when he entered Zachary's room.
Shh! gestured Raina.
Ben clamped his mouth shut instantly and waited patiently at the side.
Helen scanned Zachary's reports and examined his injuries and his condition before sharing grimly,
âYou overestimated my skills as a doctor. I canât do anything about his condition.â
âPlease take a closer look, Dr. Wright. Think hard. I'm sure you can come up with something,â urged
Raina nervously.
âThe best I can do is stabilize his condition and make it so that it won't worsen for the time being.
Unfortunately, I am unable to cure him. You will have to hire someone else for that. The chances of
him being healed are low, though,â shared Helen directly.
Ben's heart gripped upon hearing those words. He had prayed that a miracle would happen and
had a little hope left, but the good doctor squashed that hope.
âLet's start with stabilizing his condition, then,â requested Raina grimly, âWe'll be counting on you,
Dr. Wright.â
âI'll need some medical equipment. Please get them ready for me,â requested Helen right away as
she informed Raina, âI will perform a minor surgery on Mr. Nacht. If everything goes smoothly, we
should be able to stabilize his condition for a while.â
"Okay, sure. I'll get everything up and running right away.â
The aura in the Nacht residence was grimmer than it had ever been. Every bodyguard and maid
were on edge, and they struggled throughout the night.
Ben, Raina, Marino, and the others didn't sleep at all. They stood guard outside Zachary's room the
entire time.
At around one-thirty in the morning, Helen performed a minor surgery on Zachary and gave him
some treatments. She ended everything with a warning to Raina.
âThis surgery will temporarily slow down the effects of the poison, but you must keep a close eye on
him. Do not let him get hurt again. Even the angels won't be able to bring him back if you do.â
âUnderstood,â replied Raina before she nodded.
"He must recuperate for the time being, and it is best if he remains physically idle. That would
further slow the poison down,â advised Helen, âAs for his medication, just prescribe him the same
medicine he had been taking all this while. There arenât any other special medication that can help,
anyway.â
"Okay, understood.â
The more Helen spoke, the heavier Rainaâs heart felt. Everything Helen had said pointed to Zachary's
condition being critical.
âPardon me for being direct, but this surgery can, at most, prolong his life by one month,â shared
Helen, âThere is no saying how things will be after that. My recommendation is that he should
prepare for everything within the month. His will, for example, can be updated and..."
Ben and the other glared over evilly before Helen could finish speaking. She changed her stance
right away and said, âLet's pretend I never said anything.â
"Dr. Wright, please allow me to take you to your room,â suggested Raina quickly to lead the good
doctor away.
