Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1515 Accept The Treatment Just as âZacharyâ spoke, he leaned in to kiss Charlotteâs ear, but she avoided it by reflex and even pushed him away. âThereâs a huge controversy brewing now. Didnât you read the news?â
âJust ignore them,â he reassured her. âThey will naturally stop in a couple of days.â
âStop?â She narrowed her eyes at him. âDid you actually read the news? Given how haywire the speculations have become, how can they stop naturally? When you were missing, an internal conflict occurred within the company, with the board of directors trying to remove me. After painstakingly suppressing them, we now have another controversy on our hands. Do you really think it will go away by itself if we donât do anything about it?â
âIâ¦â The man was taken aback at first. However, he quickly apologized, âIâm sorry. Itâs all my fault.â
âDid Kallum come and see you just now?â she asked candidly. âWhat did he say?â
âNothing much. He came to see for himself whether I was still alive and asked me if the auditor could return to the company. Also, he even saidâ¦â
Looking at Charlotte meekly, âZacharyâ dared not continue his explanation.
âWhat else did he say?â Charlotte pressed on.
âHe said that itâs inappropriate for a lady to be at the helm and that I should return to take control,â he answered as he observed her reaction.
âHeâs right.â Not only was Charlotte not angry, but she also lamented, âIn the few days in which you were missing, I was flooded with accusations from all kinds of people. Now that youâre back, a new controversy has been ignited.
The last few days have been the most tiring time of my entire life. If I could, I really donât want to do this.
Therefore, youâd better receive treatment so that I can hand this mess over to you once youâve recovered. I truly canât be bothered anymore.â
âSpeaking of my health, I have something to share with you,â âZacharyâ remarked with an earnest expression.
âThese few days, I can feel my condition improving significantly, and I also feel more energetic. In fact, I was wondering if this incident had removed the toxins in my body by accident.â
âReally?â Charlotte was elated. âI noticed the same about you too. Since the poison came about under strange circumstances, it wouldnât be a surprise if it disappeared in an equally mysterious manner.â
âIn that caseââ
âIâll get Raina to come over and do a blood test for you. That way, weâll know for sure.â
While speaking, Charlotte picked up her phone to make the call.
âZacharyâ hastened to stop her. âWait, I donât think thereâs any need to do so. If she finds out that Iâve not healed, it might cause me unnecessary stress.â
She nodded. âThatâs true. Why donât you continue with the treatment Dr. Felch left behind? We can observe the results over a few days.â
âThereâs no need for that. Itâs not like I have any symptomsââ
âWhat do you mean you donât?â Charlotte grew concerned suddenly. âEver since you returned, youâve been behaving strangely. In fact, many have been wondering whatâs wrong with you. If you hadnât intermittently lost your memory before the fire, I would have thought that you werenât my husband.â
Her words stunned âZacharyâ for a moment, and he quickly explained, âOf course, Iâm your husband. Fine, youâre right. My sickness is getting to my head. I do need to receive the treatment.â
âThatâs the way.â Charlotte nodded in relief. âIâll get Hayley and Sam to do it later. Recover as soon as you can so that you can manage the company again. As of now, I can barely keep it together by myself.â
âAll right, I got it.â âZacharyâ forced himself to agree. âBut Kallum told me that the board of directors is causing trouble again. How are you planning to deal with them?â
âWhat else can I do? They donât respect me at all. On my way home, Johann even called me to get you to show your face, even if itâs just to say a word or two. Therefore, receive your treatment tonight and follow me to the company tomorrow morning.âq
