Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1519 You Are Cruel When âZacharyâ saw Hanna and the other take away his things, he gritted his teeth and glared at Charlotte. âYouâre a cruel woman!â
âIâm doing this for your own good.â Looking at the untouched bowl of vegetable soup, she frowned. âIf you donât eat that, there wonât be anything else for you.â
âI refuse.â âZacharyâ turned his head away in defiance.
âFine. Put on your shoes. Weâre going to the loft in the backyard,â Charlotte urged. âHayley and Sam are already waiting for you.â
He furrowed his brows. âMust I go?â
âYou can choose not to.â Charlotte did not insist. âIf you donât want to be treated with traditional medicine, you will have to see Raina and do a full body checkup. After that, you will have to accept treatment with modern medicine, andââ
Before she could even finish her utterances, âZacharyâ was already putting on his shoes. âTraditional medicine is a legacy of our nation. Therefore, we should believe in it.â
âThatâs the spirit.â
Breaking out into a smile, Charlotte led him to the loft in the backyard.
Along the way, she reminded the maids and subordinates. âFrom today onward, Mr. Nacht will be continuing his treatment. Therefore, all of you have to monitor him closely. He isnât allowed to drink nor eat whatever he wishes to. Also, he cannot leave on his own accord. If he has any instructions, report them to me and get my permission first. And if anything happens, inform me immediately.â
âYes, Mrs. Nacht!â
Everyone took orders from Charlotte as if she was the head of the household.
Meanwhile, âZacharyâ was flabbergasted by everything that had just transpired. Why does it feel like Iâve come to the wrong place? This place feels more like the Lindberg residence than the Nacht residence.
âStop looking around. Weâre in Northridge,â Charlotte stated as if she knew what he was thinking. âAlthough most of them are your men, they only take orders from me.â
âZacharyâ was rendered speechless as a gloomy look crept into his eyes. It was as if he had a premonition of imminent danger.
By the time they arrived at the loft, Hayley and Sam had prepared the herbal concoction and poured it into a wooden bucket. At the same time, the needles for acupuncture were also ready.
The moment Charlotte entered with âZachary,â the two greeted him, âZachary, weâre glad to see that you are fine.
We were worried sick!â
âIâm all right. Thanks for your concern,â âZacharyâ answered cordially.
âZachary, why do you look so much better than before? In fact, you look reasonably spirited.â Hayley found it strange after observing âZachary.â âItâs as if you are not sick at all.â
âThatâs right. Also, I feel as if your noseââ
âThatâs enough,â Charlotte interrupted Sam before changing the topic. âAfter a brush with death, he has been reinvigorated and looks better than before. However, the poison in his body hasnât cleared yet, which is why we need your help. The previous treatment Dr. Felch used on me was pretty useful. Hence, you should just repeat the same procedures on him this time. Anyway, you can begin now.â
âYes, Charlotte,â Hayley replied in acknowledgment. Then, she stepped out and called out, âAll of you, come over here.â
âRight away.â A few burly men rolled up their sleeves and gradually approached âZachary.â âMr. Nacht, do you want to take it off yourself, or do you want us to help you?â
âW-What?â âZacharyâ knitted his brows. âTake what off?â
âYour clothes,â Hayley replied while giggling. âAfter that, you will have to soak yourself in the bucket for an hour before Sam performs acupuncture on you.â
âAcupuncture?â âZacharyâ widened his eyes in shock.
âYes, look.â
Sam took out his equipment and spread them out for him to see. In it were seventy-two needles with one thicker and longer than the other.
âWe will stick all of them into your body so that the toxins can be excreted. By doing it once a day for eighty-one days, we will be able to see its results.â
Terrified till his face lost all color, âZacharyâ looked at Charlotte in disbelief. âCharlotte, isnât this too cruel?âq
