“The wound is too deep.” Frowning, Ben took out his phone and said, “I’ll ask Raina to prepare somepainkillers.”
“It’s fine,” said Lupine quickly. “We’ve got some at home.”
“External injury takes some time to heal. It’ll probably become better in a few days,” he reassured.“Raina is a talented surgeon, so dealing with this should be a piece of cake for her.”novelbin
“The thing is, Ms. Lindberg is more used to traditional medicine. If only Dr. Felch is still around.”
“Yeah, if only Dr. Felch didn’t die…”
Ben was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. If Dr. Felch is still around, Mr. Nacht’s illness could’ve beencured.
“It’ll be good if Mr. Lindberg is around too.” Lupine sounded despondent. “His friend, who’s a doctor, isvery skilled too.”
“Are you referring to Francesco?” asked Ben immediately.
“Yeah, Francesco.” She nodded and said, “Whenever Ms. Lindberg fell ill in the past, she would alwaysgo to him, and she’d be cured in no time.”
“Are you still in contact with him?” he asked tentatively.
“We aren’t, but Sean probably is,” she replied in a nonchalant tone deliberately. “If Ms. Lindberg’swound doesn’t heal in a few more days, I’ll call him.”
“Are you talking about Sean Lowe?” asked Ben hurriedly.
“Yeah.” Lupine nodded.
Excitement coursed through his body. How could I’ve overlooked this? Since Francesco is a closefriend of Mr. Lindberg, Sean, his assistant, would probably be in contact with Francesco. Ms. Lindbergwould most likely be able to reach Sean… In other words, if we contact Sean, we can find Francesco!
Glancing at her watch, Lupine said, “Time’s up. I’ve got to go now.”
“Okay.” Ben got out and opened the car door for her.
After getting out of the car, she said, “I’ll go back first. It’s going to be a busy day today, so I’ll contactyou tomorrow.”
“Okay. Take care of yourself!” He reminded her gently.
Nodding, Lupine walked away briskly as she knew Charlotte was still waiting for an update from her athome.
If Ben contacted Sean, it meant that something was wrong with Zachary’s health.
Ben watched Lupine until she disappeared from his line of sight. Immediately, he started the engineand drove back, intending to tell this piece of good news to Zachary. It might be possible for them tofind Francesco through Sean.
At the same time, Lupine rushed home and headed directly to Charlotte’s room.
“Ms. Lindberg!” She knocked on the door and entered the room, still breathless.
“How did it go?” Charlotte poured her a cup of hot tea. “Sit down and tell me.”
After taking a sip of tea, Lupine said while panting, “I followed your instructions. Initially, he refused todivulge any information. But when I mentioned Francesco, his eyes immediately lit up. Even his gazechanged. I could feel his eagerness to contact Francesco, but he held himself back at the most criticalmoment. If something bad actually happened to Mr. Nacht, he’ll probably contact Sean soon.”
Upon hearing her recount, Charlotte pursed her lips, her face turning grim.
I should’ve realized this long ago. Zachary lost so much weight in the brief span of two months. Evenhis complexion has worsened. If he had only suffered a minor injury, he wouldn’t have been in such aterrible state.
At that thought, she tried to make a guess. Does he have a terminal disease? But that seems ratherunlikely. After all, none of his ancestors had a medical history of cancer. Even Henry lived till ninety-eight years old. Why would he fall ill then?
Moments later, Charlotte shook off those thoughts and decided to figure out Zachary’s condition assoon as possible. Only then could she think of a solution.
Considering how prideful he was, she did not know how long he would put on a tough front and pretendto be fine.
“Ms. Lindberg,” Lupine asked softly, “what should we do now?”
“Tomorrow is the memorial service for Dr. Felch, so I’ll make a trip to Mount Phoenix.” Charlotte quicklymade a decision. “We’ll know the outcome by then.”
