q“Why would he do this?” exclaimed Bruce. “He's the boy's uncle, so why would he use the child as a bargaining chip?”

“He won't harm Robbie.” That much Zachary was certain. “He's only trying to make Francesco return to him.”

“What should we do then?” said a vexed Bruce. “Mr. Lindberg has not only saved Ms. Lindberg and me today...”

“Certainly, we cannot turn this into an open confrontation...”

After everything that he went through, Zachary came out the other end having matured a lot. He began to view the relationship between the Lindbergs and the Nachts with a renewed sense of objectivity, and no longer harbored the same degree of animosity he held toward Danrique as he did before.

Reflecting upon what had transpired during this stretch, he lamented, “Regardless, he was the one who saved Charlotte and Robbie, and his wife saved me. That makes us very much in their debt.”

“This...” Bruce was very surprised. Mr. Nacht seems to have gained clarity on the situation.

“Go ahead and attend to things back at the office,” Zachary instructed.

“Understood.” Bruce nodded and departed in a hurry.

Zachary turned back to regard the bed-ridden Charlotte. His heart ached when he caressed her cheeks.

“Ms. Lindberg had lost a lot of blood and is currently in a delicate state, Mr. Nacht. I'm afraid she won't be able to rouse before dark,” the doctor beside whispered softly.

“Understood,” Zachary responded in acknowledgment before he turned to Lupine. “Help me take care of her.”

“Will do.” Lupine nodded. “Are you leaving?”

“I have to make a trip back to the office.” Zachary checked the time on his wrist. “But I'd come by in the evening.”

“All right. Leave it to me. I'll take care of things here.”
