Chapter 710

Zachary checked his watch before telling Taylor, “Mr. Blackwood, I’ll head back now. I have an important meeting to conduct tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, thank you for your help,” replied Taylor politely.

Zachary bowed in return before he hurried off.

Taylor’s expression turned grimmer as he stared at Zachary’s retreating figure.

“Isn’t Mr. Nacht being a bit too disrespectful?” complained a subordinate. “He left as soon as we arrived. It’s as if he is just dealing with some corporate matter. Ms. Cynthia is wounded to this extent, and yet, he won’t even pretend to care.”

“Cynthia loves him dearly. It’s such a pity…” said Taylor before he sighed deeply. “Sharon is aggressive and cruel in nature, so it’s understandable if he’s not into her. However, Cynthia is kind and sweet, so why must she end up like this?”

“She is too kind and too sweet. That is why she can’t hold on to the man,” replied the subordinate. “I think you should help them out and get Ms. Cynthia married into the Nacht family as soon as possible.”

“These things can’t be helped,” reprimanded Taylor. “Let’s just forget all about it. All I wish now is that Cynthia will recover soon.”

Zachary rushed home and took a quick shower before he put on his clothes to get ready for work.

Henry was getting ready to take the kids to school at the time. He was shocked to see Zachary there, so he asked, “What are you doing home? Shouldn’t you be in the hospital?”

“She’s safe now, and Mr. Blackwood has arrived,” replied Zachary as he buttoned up while walking out.

“I have some things to work on, so I’ll be heading to the office now.”

“You…” growled Henry. He would’ve lost his temper then and there if the kids weren’t present.

“Bye, Daddy,” greeted the three kids while waving at Zachary.

“Mm-hmm.” Zachary looked at the kids lovingly before crouching down to pick them up, promising, “I’ll take you guys to the beach and play with you once I’m done with all my work, okay?”

“Okay,” replied the kids. They were obedient and hugged Zachary before hopping into the car.

Henry pulled Zachary to the side and interrogated angrily, “What is wrong with you? Why are you back when Cynthia is still in the hospital?”

“She’s safe now, and her life is no longer hanging on the balance. All that’s left is for the doctor to do their jobs. There is nothing I can do anyway,” replied Zachary calmly.

“You…”

“It’s late, Grandpa,” interrupted Zachary. He then checked his watch and informed, “There’s something urgent that I need to handle and I have to go.”

After saying his piece, Zachary hurried into his car.

Henry was turning red with fury, but there was nothing he could do. He definitely couldn’t lose his temper in front of the kids, so he had no choice but to let Zachary be.

“Great-grandpa, what’s wrong?” asked Ellie when she noticed how Henry’s face was scrunched up.

She was hugging her stuffed alpaca when she walked to him and comforted, “Did Daddy make you angry? I’ll go scold him later.”

“Ellie is such a good girl,” praised Henry. His fury dissipated as he gazed at his great-grandkids. He claimed, “You three are the best. I am happy whenever I see you.”

“Great-grandpa, what did Daddy do to make you angry?” asked Jamie curiously as he cocked his tiny head.

“It’s nothing,” replied Henry before he changed the topic by asking, “Is everyone settling alright in school? Are you getting along well with your teachers and classmates?”

“Yeah, I made so many new friends.”

“I’m sharing my desk with a mixed-blood.”

The two kids started sharing stories about their school, and they did so excitedly.

Robbie, however, was sitting at the side and operating an app on his tablet. He was focused on the image on the screen.

His mechanical dove was flying near Rokan Hill and was video-taping that region. Unfortunately, the mechanical dove couldn’t get too far up in the sky, so he couldn’t capture the video of the entire place.

Robbie planned on retracting his dove that night and giving it an upgrade.

Meanwhile, Fifi the parrot was perching on Robbie’s tiny head and was dozing off.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce zipped past them, and everyone heard an eagle’s screech.

Fifi the parrot was so frightened that its entire body trembled.
