Chapter 1151

Zachary decided to tell Johann not only because he trusted him, but he was worried that the treatment might not work as well.

Humans are often sensitive towards their physical condition. Even though I'm very optimistic, I can't help but think I might not wake up if I fall asleep one day.

And if that day comes, I hope the Nacht Group wouldn't be in chaos again. Hence, I have to take all necessary precautions!

Once everything at the Nacht Group was settled, Zachary began his treatment.

Raina cleared the entire medical building and brought in medical equipment in preparation for Zachary's treatment. Similarly, Raina arranged for the medical team from Erihal to stay at Southridge.

Mrs. Rawlston transferred most of the younger maids to Spencer while experienced ones were stationed at the medical building.

The reason behind the change in was staffing was to ensure that Zachary was taken good care of as well as to prevent the news from going public.

Spencer took Jamie back to Henry's Garden Villa to stay for the meantime. Spencer also allowed Jamie to go back to school.

Similarly, Jamie was under Marino and two other medical staff staffs' care when Zachary was away for treatment.

The night before Jamie left, he ran up to Zachary and asked, "Daddy, why are you sending Mr. Spencer and I away to the Garden Villa? Do you not want me anymore?"

"Of course not, silly. You're my son, why would I abandon you?" Zachary rubbed his head and smiled. "I'm sick and need to be treated. Hence, I've decided that you should stay with Mr. Spencer as I can't take care of you now."

"What's wrong, Daddy? Are you having a cold or something?" Jamie asked anxiously.

"It's hard to explain..." Zachary paused. "Daddy's illness is a little tricky and requires some time before I get better. If everything goes well, I'll be as healthy as a horse in a couple of months. Then, we can travel to Erihal to get Mommy, Robbie, and Ellie."

"What?" Jamie widened his eyes in horror. "Daddy, did you just say that you might die?"

"Yup." Zachary nodded. "I might!"

"No! I don't want Daddy to die!"

Jamie clung onto Zachary's neck and cried out loud.

The room was instantly filled with the sound of cries as everyone was saddened by the scene.

Even Bruce and Ben lowered their head sadly while Mrs. Rawlston wiped a tear that escaped from the corners of her eyes.

Spencer wanted to comfort Jamie, but his voice was no match to Jamie's loud cry.

Zachary didn't stop Jamie, instead, he let him cry until he was tired and his voice became hoarse. Then, he gently pulled away from him and wiped his tears. "Are you done? Can we have a man-to-man conversation now?"

Jamie continued to sob as he nodded with tears in his eye.

"Here, take this and wipe your tears before you sit down." Zachary handed him a few pieces of tissue.

Jamie took it and wiped away his tears and blew his nose. His red and puffy eyes met Zachary's gaze. "Daddy..." Jamie choked up once again.

"It's only a matter of time before people die, Jamie..." Zachary gazed at him softly. "We all have to face death one day, do not be discouraged when you face challenges!"

"But I don't want you to die, Daddy." Jamie pouted as he looked at Zachary, teary-eyed.

"Daddy's not ready to die yet too." Zachary laughed. "I still want to bring Mommy, Robbie, and Ellie home. I want to watch all three of you become adults and see what kind of girl our little Jamie is going to marry."

Jamie snorted in laughter and a little bubble popped right out his nose. He quickly covered it with tissue in embarrassment.

"Are you going to stop crying now?" Zachary pinched Jamie's cheeks. "I won't die for sure, it's just a possibility. So we shouldn't get upset about something that hasn't happened, alright?"

"We should face what's ahead of us boldly. Therefore, Daddy's going to seek treatment. As for you, Jamie, you should study hard and keep this a secret from Mommy, Robbie, and Ellie."
