Chapter 1014

Zachary played with the kids for half an hour after breakfast before going to the office.

On the other hand, Charlotte worked at night and spent time with her kids in the morning recently.

After Robbie was nearly abducted, the kids stopped going to school due to safety concerns. Hence, Robbie and Jamie had no choice but to attend online classes instead for the time being.

Meanwhile, when Ellie didn’t have to undergo any treatment, she spent most of her time sleeping.

When Ellie woke up, Charlotte would chat, play games, or watch anime with her.

After treating Ellie in the afternoon, Dr. Felch also began to examine Charlotte’s health condition to provide necessary treatment.

Considering that the residual toxin had remained in Charlotte’s body for too long, she had to endure the pain to get rid of it.

Besides, Dr. Felch was professional enough to prescribe medicine with the exact amount. As such, Charlotte would have to endure more pain than she usually experienced in the previous treatments.

As expected, Charlotte had to suffer pain once Dr. Felch began treatment. Nonetheless, after undergoing physical training for two years, her pain threshold had increased considerably.

Since both the adult and the kid received treatment, the smell of medicine permeated the house.

Robbie and Jamie were well-mannered and didn’t disturb Charlotte when she underwent treatment. After attending online classes, they would bring Fifi and Little Fifi to the hill. Lupine and other bodyguards always followed the kids to ensure their safety while they had fun.

At night, Zachary would check the kids’ homework once he got home. Then, he would play football with the boys and accompany Ellie when she practiced piano.

Two years ago, after the three kids came to the Nacht residence, Zachary pledged to spend 90 minutes with them every night.

Zachary could always have fun with the boys regardless of the games they wanted to play. However, his head ached a little when it came to Ellie, for she always forced him to attend music classes together to learn piano and singing.

After all, Zachary had always been cold and wasn’t good at singing. Although singing was a form of torture to him, he forced himself to learn it to make Ellie happy.

After two years, Zachary didn’t resist Ellie’s music classes anymore. All the more so, he asked Ellie to be the judge now to assess his piano skills.

Initially, there was an air of lethargy around Ellie. Nevertheless, upon hearing Zachary’s suggestion, she got excited and clapped her hands delightedly. “Sure! I haven’t heard Daddy playing piano for a long time.”

“Well, please don’t scold me if I’m not good at it.”

With that, Zachary took off his jacket and sat in front of the piano.

“I can’t do that. As a mentor, I have the responsibility to criticize you if you don’t play it well,” Ellie pretended to put on a stern face and said, “Do your best, okay?”

“Sure, Ms. Ellie.” Zachary handed a whip to Ellie as he replied to her.

Ellie swung the whip a few times and smiled happily. “Hehe—let’s start.”

“Yes, Ms. Ellie.” Zachary forgot a beat soon after he played “Twinkle Twinkle” that Ellie taught him before.

“Argh! No way! You missed a beat.” Ellie whipped Zachary’s hand softly and said, “Play it again!”

“Yes, Ms. Ellie.”

Later, Zachary played the song again and finished it perfectly.

“Hmm, not bad,” Ellie nodded in satisfaction and said, “However, since you’ve been practicing piano for two years, how can you only know this simple song? It can’t be. Didn’t I teach you ‘The Shepherd’s Song’ before? Play that.”

“I don’t remember the song, Ms. Ellie.”

“In that case, get the sheet music from the shelf.”

“Yes, Ms. Ellie.”

“Hehe!”

Ellie enjoyed role-playing a teacher and felt particularly happy when she could teach Zachary.

At that moment, Charlotte happened to stand outside the room. She saw that Ellie finally let out a relaxed smile ever since she was ill. Hence, Charlotte couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Deep down, Charlotte thought she didn’t have much energy to spend time with the kids, for she would be tired after undergoing treatment recently. As such, she thought letting Zachary stay here was the right choice. At the very least, the kids were happy because Zachary could accompany them.

With Zachary’s care and love, Ellie should recover sooner.
