“Zachary... Please...” Charlotte begged, picking herself up from the ground with much difficulty, only for Raina to pull her backward.

“Ms. Windt, you must stay still! You'll only get Mr. Brown killed if you try to intervene!” Raina exclaimed.

“But...”

Suddenly, there was a loud scuffle outside the room, and Mrs. Berry came barging in with a broom in her hands. “You bastard! I'm going to kill you!”

Before she could land a single hit on Zachary, the two bodyguards stationed outside the ward grabbed her arms and dragged her away from Zachary.

“Let me go! Let me go!” Mrs. Berry screamed. “How dare you bully Miss and kidnap her kids? Get your dirty hands off Mr. Brown!”

She lunged forward without warning and threw the broom towards Zachary's head.

Everyone watched in horror as the broom slammed into Zachary's forehead and landed with a loud thud on the floor.

She raised a trembling finger and pointed at Zachary accusingly. “I overheard the nurses talking about how you sent Miss here, and that's how I found you. Why is it that she's falling sick and getting hurt so much recently? Why are people breaking in and planting bombs in our house? Where are the kids? It must be you!”

She lowered her finger as she began to sob uncontrollably. “They're only three and a half years old... What did they ever do to you? Why must you hurt them?”

“Mrs. Berry, Mr. Nacht isn't involved in this,” Raina said, panicking a little. “This must have been...”
