“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?”

“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.
