After dinner, the children expressed their wish to take a stroll on the beach.
Zachary had initially planned for it in their itinerary, but as Zara’s yacht was parked by the sea, he was
concerned that the insane woman might scare Charlotte and the children. Hence, he decided to call it a
day and took them home.
The children were slightly disappointed at first. However, they swiftly cheered up when Zachary offered
to play a game with them in the car.
It was already nine o’clock at night when they arrived home. Zachary went to help settle down the
children while Charlotte returned to the bedroom and sat on the sofa in a daze.
A while later, Zachary returned to grab a change of clothes. “I’m going out for a while,” he informed her.
“It’s so late. Where are you going?” She was rather surprised. Ever since he’d reunited with the
children, he hardly ever went out on his own in the night.
“I’m going to see Grandpa.” He walked toward her and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “Rest well and
stop worrying so much.”

He left in a hurry thereafter.
Charlotte got up listlessly and headed to the bathroom, only to realize he had forgotten his jacket. She
hurriedly brought it out, intending to hand it to him, when she accidentally overheard his phone call at
the door.
“I don’t care whether it’s intentional or not. Don’t ever appear within my sight and scare my woman and
kids.
“No matter what tricks you pull, the Nachts’ inheritance would never land in your hands.
“That’s right. Grandpa has woken up. Whether he sees you or not is his decision.”
As soon as he hung up, he hurried down the stairs while instructing Bruce and Ben, “Bruce will come
with me. Ben, stay home to guard Madam and the kids.”
“Yes.”
Witnessing that, Charlotte had an inexplicable feeling. Zachary wanted to protect the children and I
wholeheartedly, while all I think about is leaving.
She knew she shouldn’t let him down. Instead, she needed to gear herself up, look for Dr. Felch to

remove the poison in her body, and return to marry him. All she wanted was to raise their children
together and live happily ever after.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Jeffrey Judd called. “Miss, we’ve found Dr. Felch.”
“Really? That’s great!” Charlotte was overjoyed. “Where is he?”
“In Phoenix City, about 800km away from H City. I’ve informed him about Mrs. Berry. He said that he
was indebted to the chairman. Mrs. Berry was the Windts old butler and has taken good care of you.
Hence, he’ll do his best to treat her.”
“Okay. Send me his address and contact details. I’ll look for him in two days,” Charlotte said, feeling
slightly emotional.
“Sure.” Jeffrey sent the information immediately. “What will happen to the kids while you and Mrs. Berry
are being treated? Why don’t I accompany Mrs. Berry instead?”
“No need. Don’t worry. I’ll arrange everything. Let me go inform Mrs. Berry of the good news.”
“All right. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Mm, thank you.”

Hanging up the call, Charlotte hurried downstairs to look for Mrs. Berry to tell her the good news.
Mrs. Berry was ecstatic and said anxiously, “Then let’s go tomorrow morning.”
“I have to accompany Zachary to a wedding at noon. We’ll go in the evening.” Charlotte could hardly
wait either. “I’ll let him know later. Prepare your luggage tomorrow morning. We’ll depart as soon as I’m
home.”
“All right.” Mrs. Berry nodded. “Do we have to take a plane to Phoenix City? Have you seen the
address?”
“I have. The place is rather remote and is a good distance away from the airport. It’s much more
convenient to take the train. Pass me your identity card. I’ll book the tickets right away.”
“Mm.”
They quickly planned their itinerary and booked the train tickets. All that was left to do was to wait for
the next day.
At the thought of seeing Dr. Felch and receiving treatment, Charlotte’s heart was full of hope. She
couldn’t wait to be relieved of the poison and return to marry Zachary.
