“What did the doctor say?”
As Zachary's wife cum able aide, it was natural for Charlotte to manage all household matters when he
had his plate full.
“Not good.” Raina's forehead creased even more. “Otherwise, I wouldn't have disturbed you.”
“Let's go have a look at him.”
Charlotte hurried into the ICU and was met by the doctor-in-charge. The latter greeted her, “Ms.
Lindberg.” “How is he?” Charlotte was extremely worried.
“Things aren’t going too well for Mr. Spencer...”
The doctor went on to explain his health condition. Charlotte listened to him attentively without noticing
a pair of eyes were watching her from the corner of the hallway...
“That's the current update. I'm afraid he only has a couple more days to live,” the doctor announced.
“Oh my...” Charlotte sighed and then turned to give Morgan an instruction. “Get someone to notify Mr.
Nacht now.
“Duly noted.” Morgan left to carry out her duty.
“May I go in and see him?” Charlotte asked the doctor.
“For sure.” He nodded. “Let me lead you to change into the isolation gown first.”
“Thank you.”
After getting herself changed, Charlotte entered Spencer's ward.
It had only been half a month since she last saw him, but she could not really recognize Spencer. He
looked as thin as a rake and extremely frail. He lay on the bed with his eyes halfopened. His gaze was
fixated on the entrance as if he was waiting for someone.
“Mr. Spencer.” Charlotte leaned forward and uttered softly, “Zachary is busy with a product launch
event lately. I've sent someone to notify him. Don't worry, he will be here in a jiffy.”
Upon hearing the last line, Spencer blinked his eyes. Lo and behold, he wanted to see Zachary just
once more.
Rest well.”
Charlotte tucked him in and stayed by his side.
Although Spencer was just a butler, he was always held in high regard by others. He had served three
generations of the Nachts, worked hard, and performed great feats for the family.
When Zachary was in trouble, Spencer stood by Charlotte and assisted her in resolving the company
crisis.
Recalling his good deeds, Charlotte vowed to be Spencer's guardian angel until Zachary's arrival. She
was afraid that Spencer would bid farewell forever as a lonely old man, without having any loved ones
by his side.
After a while, he fell asleep.
Charlotte requested Morgan to call upon a few of Spencer's subordinates to interrogate them. "When
Mr. Nacht and I paid Mr. Spencer a visit recently, he was perfectly well. Why did things get so bad all of
a sudden? And none of you said a thing?”
“Indeed, everything seemed fine until last night... He had a heart attack. We were all caught by surprise
and quickly called the ambulance...” A few of the senior subordinates got increasingly worried and
regurgitated everything they knew.
Soon, it was night fall.
“Hmm,” Charlotte acknowledged. “Send someone to examine Mr. Spencer's house. Check if anyone
suspicious came by last night or anything unusual happened. Act on this without further delay.”
“Noted,” replied Morgan.
Though the chance was slim, Charlotte insisted on checking Spencer's house thoroughly just in case
there were any clues left behind. Dr?мanоvels.com
“Ms. Lindberg, it's getting really late. Please take a rest at the lounge that we’ve prepared for you and
have a simple dinner,” urged Raina.
“All right, I'll go take a quick shower. Keep me if anything happens.”
“Sure, don't worry.’
