Chapter 944

Slap! Before Freya could finish, Lupine hit her forcefully. "How dare you!"

"I didn't. I really didn't..."

With blood coming out of her lips, Freya fell to her knees, crying.

"We'll know for sure once we investigate." Charlotte gestured.

"Understood." Lupine was about to order Freya to be taken away when she suddenly screamed, "No! Uncle Taylor save me!"

"Wait!" Taylor hurried over and stood in front of Freya. "She's my niece and is also Cynthia's assistant. She might be stubborn at times but she does not harbor any ill intention."

"I don't care who she is!" Charlotte bellowed. "Even if it's you, I will kill you without hesitation if you touch my children!"

"You..." Taylor's face reddened in anger.

"Uncle Taylor, save me. I don't want to die." Freya burst into tears.

"Zachary, say something." Taylor looked desperately at Zachary. "We came here to help. And now, we're being bullied by outsiders. What's the meaning of this?" Zachary responded with indifference.

"Fine." Taylor took out his phone. "Since you don't care, I'll get Mr. Nacht to judge."

"Fine." Finally, Zachary spoke and gestured to Ben.

Ben ordered men to bring Freya and the two nurses who fed Ellie out.

"Uncle Taylor, Uncle..." Freya cried in defiance.

"Enough, shut up," Taylor snapped.

He knew that Zachary would at least show them mercy on Henry's account.

If he continued to argue, they might not even get the chance.

"Are you going to let her go just like that?" Lupine couldn't accept it. "At the very least, shouldn't she be interrogated?"

Charlotte stared intently at Zachary with mixed emotions.

What is he up to? Given the thoughtful look in his eyes, he doesn't look like he's hobbled by sickness. There's something obviously wrong with Freya. A simple investigation would quickly reveal the truth. But, he refuses to do it. Even if he is worried about Mr. Nacht, there's no need to back down without reason, isn't it? Mr. Nacht would also insist that the matter be investigated if he knew about it. So why does Zachary want to let Freya and the two nurses go? Why is he unwilling to investigate? Is it because he truly loves Cynthia and is protecting her? No, even if he loves her blindly, he wouldn't put the children's life at risk. That isn't him. In that case, what is he really up to?

"That's the end of the matter. No one is allowed to say anything else," Zachary warned. Next, he turned to Taylor. "Mr. Blackwood, it's been a long day for you. I think you should go home and rest now." "I have been planning to do that since the beginning," Taylor replied awkwardly, "It's just that I was supposed to take Cynthia to see Mr. Nacht."

Taylor was smart. He knew Cynthia would have a difficult time with Charlotte here. Hence, he wanted to take her with him.

"I'll let Mr. Spencer know that Cynthia can't make it today," Zachary plainly answered. "Grandpa's condition is stable. It's Ellie who is in danger now."

"That's true." Taylor nodded. "Or else, why don't I wait for her to be done with Ellie before leaving together?"

"Now that both Ellie and I rely on her treatment, I can't allow her to leave."

Zachary gave Taylor a thoughtful look.

"But..." Just when Taylor was in a dilemma, one of the nurses approached them, "Mr. Blackwood, Ms. Blackwood says that you should go on home first. She will stay back to look after Ellie and Mr. Nacht." "All right." Left without a choice, he probed, "Now that Freya and the others are gone, do you need me to arrange for more help?"
