Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort chapter 1396

“That’s great news.”

Charlotte exhaled a sigh of relief. She was glad that Lupine was fine. Otherwise, she would never forgive herself.

After everything that had happened, Lupine and Morgan were like sisters to her. Everyone around her had left one

by one, her father, Mrs. Berry, and Danrique. Lupine and Morgan were all she had left.

She did not want to lose anyone else.

“Can I go in and have a look at her?” Ben asked immediately.

“Sure, but you’ll have to put on an isolation gown.” The doctor continued, “Also, we have informed the police as her

wound was a gunshot wound. The police will be here soon, and I ask for your cooperation.”

Ben was bewildered by the doctor’s reminder but quickly recollected himself and nodded. “All right. We’ll do that.”

“Thank you.” The doctor sighed. He was worried Ben would cause a scene, so he had not expected him to be so

cooperative. It seems like he’s not a bad guy.

Charlotte wanted to check on Lupine as well, but she knew the latter needed Ben more than her at that moment,

so she stayed outside.

“Ms. Lindberg, have some water.” Cain handed her a glass of water.

“Thanks.” Charlotte asked, “Why are you guys here?”

“After losing contact with you a few days ago, Ben was worried about your safety, so he sent us in to search for

you. We couldn’t find you, so he rushed over to join the search.”

Cain explained the situation succinctly.

“Who gave you the order? Ben or Zachary?” she asked puzzledly.

“Ben did.” He blurted out, “Mr. Zachary, he—”

Before he could continue, Kyle nudged him to cut him off. Getting the hint, Cain immediately held his tongue.

“What? What happened to Zachary?” Charlotte had a suspicion that something terrible had happened to Zachary,

so she hurriedly probed. “Did his condition worsen?”

Cain simply lowered his head in silence.

Kyle and the rest dared not say anything either.

“Give me your phone.”

The assassins discarded Charlotte’s and Lupine’s phones, so she could not contact Zachary.

Cain handed his phone to her meekly.

Charlotte reached for the phone and called Zachary immediately. However, no one answered the call even after a

long time.

Her stomach was in knots as she redialed the number.

Someone finally picked up the second time, but it was not Zachary’s voice. It belonged to a woman. “Hello?”

Charlotte was stunned for a brief moment before she asked, “Nancy?”

“Charlotte?” Nancy sounded surprised too. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

“Where’s Zachary?” Charlotte tried to keep her tone even and her emotions in check as she asked.

“He’s not available at the moment.” Nancy continued casually, “You can leave a message with me, and I’ll pass it

on to Zachary.”

“It’s fine.”

With that, Charlotte hung up the phone. The call had ended, but her emotions were tumultuous like a raging sea.

Zachary has always been careful not to let anyone touch his phone, so why is his phone with Nancy? It’s quarter to

one in the morning, yet they’re still together… Moreover, I called using Cain’s phone, so she wouldn’t have known I

was calling. That proves that Nancy wasn’t acting. What is the meaning of all this?

Insecurity and anger coursed through her body.

Thoughts of Zachary and Nancy being intimate with each other flashed through her mind. Even the mere thought

of them cuddling together in bed spiked her anger.

“Ms. Lindberg,” Ben called as he came out of the emergency room. “Why don’t you catch some rest? I need to

assist the police and provide a statement. Also, I’ve already talked to the doctor. If Lupine’s condition stabilizes

tomorrow morning, we can take a private jet back to H City.”

“Right. Thank you.” Charlotte nodded. “You go ahead. I’ll stay here with Lupine.”

“Okay.” Ben left in a hurry.q
