Chapter 921
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
As such, Ben wasnât planning on letting the Blackwoods know what happened to the Nacht family, but Spencer had informed them.
However, having looked after Henry the whole time, Spencer was oblivious to the recent events and told Cynthia everything.
âEllie is in critical condition right now, and a slight mistake could very well lead to death. I canât bring myself to make that decision, so we should probably wait till Mr. Nacht wakes up,â Ben said with a frown.
âLet me go see Zachary! Spencer told me he was bitten by a venomous snake, and I have a way of saving him!â
Cynthia signed at him anxiously.
âIâ¦â Ben was still hesitant.
âLet her in. Iâll take responsibility if anything goes wrong,â Spencer said decisively.
Naturally, Ben didnât dare to protest any further.
âThank you for trusting me!â Cynthia signed at him in relief.
âCome on. Iâll bring you to him.â Spencer then led Cynthia to Zachary to get him treated.
Taylor followed closely behind them, looking concerned like he had already acknowledged Zachary as his son-in-law.
âYou head on over the airport,â Ben ordered Marino.
âYes, sir!â Marino replied and left in a hurry.
Ben then kept a close eye on Cynthia and Taylor to ensure no harm came to Zachary.
Miraculously enough, Zachary regained consciousness an hour later with Cynthiaâs help.
âMr. Zachary, youâre awake!â Spencer was overjoyed. âYouâre amazing, Cynthia! I canât believe you were able to save him so quickly!â
âThis acupuncture treatment will only help him remain conscious for the time being. It would take more time to fully rid his body of the venom. Youâll need to continuously administer this treatment every day along with the use of herbs. It should take about a month for him to make a full recovery.â Cynthia signed.
Spencer was relieved. âThatâs fine⦠Iâm just glad his condition is curableâ¦â
Ben was equally shocked when he saw Zachary waking up as he didnât expect Cynthiaâs treatment to be so effective.
âEllie⦠How is Ellie?â Zachary rubbed his forehead weakly.
âMr. Nacht!â Ben quickly helped him sit upright on the bed. âEllie is still in the ICU, but her condition is stable for nowâ¦â
âYou fainted after you were bitten by a venomous snake, Zachary. It was all thanks to Cynthiaâs acupuncture treatment that you were able to regain consciousness. Shall we let her take a look at Ellie too?â Taylor said.
âCynthia?â Zachary looked up at her and frowned. âWhat are you two doing here?â
He was able to remain conscious even though his vision was still a little blurry from the venom, but he was still in no condition to be having visitors.
âI came to help you, Zachary! Please believe me! Iâll definitely be able to save Ellieâ¦â Cynthia signed at him, but Zachary cut her off.
âWe have doctors here⦠You two can go home nowâ¦â Zachary smacked his head in an attempt to relieve the splitting headache.
âZacharyâ¦â Taylor was about to say something but was interrupted by a medical staff who came running in. âBad news! Ms. Elisa has started convulsing again!â
âWhat?â Zachary tried to get off the bed, but his body was so weak that he nearly fell down.
âMr. Nachtâ¦â Ben was quick to catch him and hold him steady.
âHe mustnât move about too much or the venom will spread further into his system!â Cynthia signed anxiously.
Taylor quickly fetched Ben a wheelchair, and they both helped Zachary onto it before heading over to the ICU with him.
âWhatâs going on here? How did this happen? All of you doctors canât even treat a single patient?â Spencer asked in a state of panic.
âThe venom is simply too deadly! Thereâs practically nothing we can do!â one of the doctors said with tears in his eyes.
