Raina snickered from her position at the door, but she wiped her smile off her face the moment she noticed Zachary’s chilly glare.

“Ahem. Mr. Nacht, Ms. Windt is rather feeble, and she fainted due to excessive anxiety, but I’m sure she’ll wake up soon,” Raina reported.

“Excessive anxiety?” Zachary asked, frowning. “Was it because of Mrs. Berry’s illness?”

A strange sense of jealousy gripped his heart. I bet she’s closer to Mrs. Berry than me!

“Yeah, she’s probably exhausted,” Raina said. “She had to take care of Mrs. Berry and her three kids while nursing her own injuries, which must have been really hard.”

“What happened to Mrs. Berry?” Zachary asked.

“She is diagnosed with mild stroke, so she needs time to recover,” Raina said.

“Direct all attention to her and get in specialists from overseas if needed,” Zachary ordered.

“Of course, Mr. Nacht,” Raina said with a smile. “I didn’t expect you to be so caring towards Ms. Windt’s loved ones too!”

“I’m just being compassionate, you know,” Zachary said coldly. Though, Raina could hear the lack of confidence in his voice.
