Chapter 927
“Don't say that... I've watched Ellie grow up, so she's like family to me. There's no way I'd just sit by when
something like this happens to her. Besides, being a doctor is like being a parent, so I was just doing my job!”
Cynthia signed.
“Yeah, that's right! A doctor is just like a parent!” Taylor chimed in as well, placing extra emphasis on the word
“parent” to remind Zachary that Cynthia treated Ellie like her own daughter.
“A ward has been prepared for you, so go ahead and get some rest. Thank you very much, Ms. Blackwood,” Ben
said.
“Don't mention it!” Taylor replied with a smile.
I feel like there's something off about all this, but I can't seem to put my finger on what it is exactly... Oh, well... I
guess all that matters is Zachary and Ellie being all right now... Ben thought to himself as he watched someone
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtescort them to the ward.
“You should get some rest too, Mr. Nacht. We can take care of things here, so you have nothing to worry about!
Now that Ellie has puked up the poison, her condition will be a lot more manageable!” Raina promised him
confidently.
“Make sure you take good care of her. We can't afford to have any more accidents like this.”
Zachary was still feeling uneasy as he had yet to see Ellie hop down from the bed and call him “Daddy” in her usual
sweet voice.
“I know, don't worry!” Raina reassured him before hurrying off to examine Ellie.
“We have everything under control here, Spencer. Mr. Henry must be worried about you being gone for so long, so
you should head back too. Besides, you haven't slept all night, so this would be a great time to get some rest,” Ben
said as he was concerned.
Spencer nodded. “Yeah, it is about time I get going now. I'll bring Jamie with me, Mr. Zachary. The shock kept him
awake all night, and he just fell asleep a while ago.”
Having him stay here wouldn't do him any good, as everyone would have to look after him in addition to Zachary
and Ellie. On top of that, Mr. Henry would feel a lot better if he saw Jamie.
“All right, I'll go tell him,” Zachary replied with a faint smile when he saw Jamie curled up in a bed and sleeping
soundly while drooling all over the pillow.
Guess I never really have to worry about this kid, huh... I thought he'd cry at first, but he's sleeping like a log right
now!
“Haha, Jamie sure is a good boy!” Spencer said with a smile.
Zachary gently ran his hand through Jamie's hair. “Head on over before he wakes up, or he'll have a ton of
questions for all of us. You know how much of a chatterbox he can be.”
“Haha, okay...”
Spencer motioned at Cain who then wrapped Jamie up in a blanket before carrying him in his arms.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJamie turned his body to one side and nuzzled his head against Cain's chest while making a suckling motion with his
mouth, much to Cain's amusement.
“All right, get going,” Zachary urged them.
“Is he heavy?” Spencer asked with a chuckle as they left.
“He seems to be about Robbie's size, but weighs a little more.”
“Hahaha! He can eat more than Robbie!”
Zachary's smile faded when he saw them disappear from sight, and a cold look filled his eyes as he gave the order,
“Have Bruce investigate the security footage from Seacrest Restaurant in great detail. Tell him to go frame by
frame if he has to!”
Ben leaned in and asked softly, “Are you suspecting someone other than Danrique, Mr. Nacht?”
“Danrique may be cruel, but he is still a man of pride. He wouldn't deny it if he was the one who did it. Judging by
how angry he got when I accused him of poisoning Ellie, it's quite obvious that he's innocent. If he didn't do it, then
it must be someone else!” Zachary said as he recalled Danrique's reaction.
