Chapter 970
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âItâs fine.â Cynthia stopped him right away with her sign language. âI have some knowledge dealing with poison too.
Let me solve it myself first.â
âOkay then.â Zachary nodded slightly. âAnything you need, just come and see me anytime.â
âThanks.â
At that moment, Cynthia was shouting desperately internally. Please get lost now, all of you! I need my medicine!
âThen, Iâll excuse myself first. Itâs late already.â Zachary patted her shoulder gently. âGo to rest early.â
Then, he turned to Henry as well. âGrandpa, please go back to your room. Stop disturbing her.â
With that, Zachary left the scene.
Staring at Zacharyâs back figure, Henry felt something peculiar with him today. He seldom talks so nicely to me.
But Henry soon cleared his thoughts as he shifted his gaze toward Cynthia. âHeâs right. Weâll make it up to you.â
âThanks, Mr. Henry.â Cynthia expressed her gratitude with tears in her eyes.
âMr. Nacht, you know about this too. Cynthia doesnât want anything. Her only hope is to get married to Zachary.â
Taylor laid out a timely statement.
âZachary and Cynthia have been getting along well. If it werenât for that woman, I suppose they would have already gotten engaged by now.â
âYouâve mentioned this in the hospital.â Henry furrowed his brows. âEven though Zachary seems like a cold person, he has always placed great value in relationships. After all, that woman is the mother of his children. He wonât be able to wipe that clean⦠And with his feelings toward her, I guess heâll get entangled with her no matter what. But since Iâm back now, Iâll keep an eye on him. Donât worry. Iâll make sure to settle this marriage as soon as possible!â
âThatâs good then, thatâs good,â Taylor nodded his head. âLet me accompany you out.â
âItâs fine. Please stay with Cynthia.â
With that, Spencer pushed Henry out of the room.
Back in the room, Cynthia immediately had the nurses lock the door. After that, they started pulling out the needle and applying the medicine to her face.
Her body trembled incessantly in agony as her tears flowed down uncontrollably. The pain was so extreme that her finger almost tore her clothes apart.
Taylor was heartbroken looking at this scene. âCynthia, Iâm sorry you have to go through this. But I think Zacharyâs heart is still for you. Plus, Mr. Nacht has agreed to the marriage. I believe itâll come true soon.â
Cynthia paid no attention at all to what he said, as she nervously observed her face in the mirror.
Almost half of her face had rotten, and the poison was still spreading. She recoiled in utter fear.
âIt doesnât look good, Ms. Blackwoodâ¦â The nurse noticed nothing changed even after she applied the medicine.
âMaybe we have waited for too long, or maybe the needle was too deep. It seems like the antidote is not working anymore.â
âWhat? How could it be?â Taylorâs heart skipped a beat. âIf your face got ruined, then Zachary will truly leave you for good. Youâre already mute, and nowâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, Cynthia cut a ferocious glare at him. He immediately changed his tone.
âCynthia, donât look at me like this. Iâm just worried about you.â
âAll you care about is your family interests. You donât care for me at all,â Cynthia signed furiously.
âNo⦠Itâs not like thatâ¦â
âThatâs enough.â Cynthia had no mood to continue the conversation. âPlease get in touch with Freya now. Ask her to get a few medicines from my laboratoryâ¦â
She wrote down the laboratoryâs name on a piece of paper and handed it to Taylor. âHurry!â
âAll right, all right. Iâll see to it immediately.â Taylor rushed out of the room.
âWhat now? The wound is too deep. If we donât treat it now, it will get worse,â The nurse reminded in an anxious tone.
âContinue to apply the antidote. Letâs try to suppress it first.â
As Cynthia spread the medicine directly on her face, the pain almost killed her. Right then, she recalled the look of Charlotteâs face when the latter pierced the needle right into her face.
Charlotte Lindberg, I swear I wonât let you go just like this! Iâm going to kill you!
