Chapter 1017

“I’m so sorry…”

Morgan immediately brought the rest out and closed the door behind her.

After a long while, Charlotte finally collected herself as she dozed off on her bed.

Just then, Zachary looked at his hand, which was almost torn apart by Charlotte. Blood was dripping down as a piece of flesh almost got bitten off his hand.

He cast a glance toward Charlotte, who was sleeping soundly. What a heartless woman.

Nonetheless, he was relieved that she did not hurt herself.

Enduring his pain, Zachary wandered toward the door and opened the door. “Please get the medical kit.”

“Your hand…”

Morgan’s heart skipped a beat upon seeing Zachary’s injured hand.

“Hurry and go get the medical kit,” Morgan instructed her subordinate right away.

“Yes, Madam!”

“A wound like that needs more than just applying some medicine.”

At that moment, Dr. Felch’s voice sounded.

“Dr. Felch, sorry for waking you up,” Zachary spoke guiltily. “It’s just a small injury. I’ll be fine. Please go back to your sleep.”

“You’ll need to treat the wound right now.” Dr. Felch furrowed his brows. “The thunder has stopped now, and she’ll be fine. Please follow me to the clinic now.”

“Her lips got torn. Please treat her wound first.” Even at that moment, Zachary was still thinking about Charlotte.

“Don’t worry.” Dr. Felch’s eyes flashed with slight admiration. “Let Hayley handle that. Please follow me.”

“But…” Zachary could not let go of his worries.

“Leave it to me.”

Just then, Hayley took the medical kit and went right into the room, followed by Morgan.

Zachary had no choice but to go downstairs with Dr. Felch.

With that, Dr. Felch stitched the wound for Zachary.

Zachary merely frowned slightly throughout the whole process without making a sound.

“Doesn’t it hurt?” Dr. Felch cast a glance at him.

“It looks fine,” Zachary responded with a low voice. “Dr. Felch, could you please tell me when Charlotte could recover fully from this?”

“If she carries on with the treatment, I guess around three more months.” Dr. Felch narrowed his eyes while applying medicine to his wound. “She must not stop the treatment halfway, or else there will be no room for maneuver.”

“Then, you’ll have to take good care of yourself.” Zachary spat out another sentence.

“Hahaha…” Dr. Felch let out a boisterous laugh. “Thanks for your frankness.”

“Indeed.” Zachary displayed an embarrassed smile. “If you didn’t get into the car crash two years ago, things would have been different now…”

“It sounds like you mean I’m the key to this entire thing.” Dr. Felch cast a curious look.

“That’s right.” Zachary smiled bitterly. “If you didn’t get into the accident, our wedding wouldn’t have gotten canceled. She wouldn’t be sent to T Nation and endured such difficulties. Mrs. Berry wouldn’t even have died…”

Dr. Felch’s expression turned stern upon hearing those words. “Hayley did tell me what happened back then.

Charlotte experienced a relapse on the wedding day, and it got out of hand. Later, the Nacht family canceled the wedding and sent her and Mrs. Berry overseas. And they kept the children…”

Dr. Felch let out a long sigh before continuing. “Everyone thought the Nacht family was merciless. But I thought they could’ve done it long before the marriage if they wanted to chase the mother out. There was no need to make such a big fuss out of this. But later I learned from the news that the bride was changed to another woman.

Only then did I realize their cruelty. Hence, after I woke up, I left this family with Hayley and Sam. I didn’t want anything to do with you guys as I thought it was a dangerous place here. Even when you came to find me later, I refused to return.

Only after that young man approached me again and showed me footage of Charlotte still alive, did I start to change my mind. Nonetheless, I started to change my view of you recently. I think you’re not a heartless man after all.”
