Ben pulled the covers around him and stood at the side silently.

His heart ached at the sight of Zachary's wretched condition. Sharing the same sentiments as Bruce, he resented himself for being useless. If he could, he wished to endure the excruciating pain and sorrow on behalf of Zachary.

Ring! Ring! His phone rang abruptly, snapping him out of his thoughts.

It was a call from Charlotte, and he answered it hastily. “Ms. Lindberg.”

“What's the matter? Why did Bruce come over with a large group of men to guard my place? Did Zachary instruct him to do so?” Charlotte questioned.

Ben replied softly, “It was an instruction from Mr. Nacht a while ago. He's already asleep.”

“I'm fine here, so he doesn't have to instruct Bruce to do so. In fact, I'm worried about him over there...” Somehow, she started to feel a prickle of restlessness.

Sensing her anxiety, he tried to reassure her by explaining, “Ms. Lindberg, don't worry. There are still quite a few of us here. Since this is an instruction from Mr. Nacht, we dare not go against him. After the incident two years ago, he's traumatized and is worried that something will happen to you.”
