chapter 1378
"Mr. Giblo, I just looked into the matter and it is as Ms. Gold had said. Sir Lucas is missing, and he was diagnosed with depression. It seemed that the family is hiding a huge secret as well, " reported Benard hurriedly at that moment.
"I want the specifics! D_rn it, is that all you have to tell me after I told you to investigate the matter?" scolded Zayn.
"Right, of course. I'll further investigate the matter…"
"Leave!"
Zayn was losing his temper and was getting frustrated again.
His most recent injury showed him that Carla still cared, and their relationship was getting better.
However, he learned about how there was a secret between Lucas and Carla. That got him agitated once more.
He thought about what he saw at the time in the hotel in Arkfield, and a sting ambushed his heart. It hurt so much that he felt like he was suffocating.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Giblo. I shouldn't have shared all that with you. I was just worried that Sir Lucas will hurt you and wanted to warn you, " said Nella while staring apologetically over.
"I understand. Thank you, " replied Zayn. He regained his footing and added, "I have been busy working on my own matter lately and forgot about keeping an eye on the situation. Hence, I'm glad you reminded me."
"I'm just doing my part, " replied Nella as she stared lovingly at him, "By the way, my project is kicking off on the first of next month. I'll throw a banquet then. If you recover by then…"
"There's still nine more days till the banquet. I should be fine and will be there, " promised Zayn.
"That's good to know, " said Nella while smiling happily. She handed the invitation card to him and added, "We've only invited thirty guests for this event, and they are all business tycoons. My father will be there too. You'll be the most prestigious guest we have there, though, so I truly wish to see you there."
"Okay, I'll be there on time, " replied Zayn as he accepted the invitation card.
"Then I better leave now so that I won't disrupt your rest, " said Nella as she stood up and added in a concerned tone, "You must rest well. If you haven't recovered when the month ends, maybe…"
"Don't worry, I'll be there, " promised Zayn once again.
"Pinky promise, " requested Nella before she extended her hand to him.
Zayn was slightly taken aback, but he eventually reached out and gave her a pinky promise.
Nella grinned gleefully before leaving reluctantly.
Benard walked her out, then returned to the study room to share the fruits of his investigation with Zayn. "For now, all we can figure out is what Ms. Gold had just shared with us. The Srinsot family is keeping the secret well hidden, so it will take us some time before we get to it, " reported Benard.
Zayn didn't even bother reading the file handed to him. He tossed it aside and got up to return to his room. Unfortunately, the pain from his injury was too severe, and he turned pale from it.
"Mr. Giblo…" said Benard as he hurried over to help Zayn up.
Zayn crouched down but had one hand on the sofa to support himself. He put his other hand on his head. The pain he experienced was so sharp that it got him to distort his face.
"I'll go get Naya over right away…"
Benard thought that the source of Zayn's pain was the injury on his head, so the former rushed to call Naya.
"No!" halted Zayn. He reached out to stop the guy, then fell onto the sofa and said, "It's not my injury. It's…"
The pain was so intense that Zayn couldn't even finish speaking. He gritted his teeth and leaned against the sofa as his sweat dripped down.
"Is the poison acting up again? How did this happen? It had never hurt you that badly before, so why… Mr. Giblo? Mr. Giblo!"
Zayn fainted on the sofa before Benard could even finish speaking.
That prompted Benard to call Naya immediately. The latter was staying in Southridge, so she was quick to show up with her medical staffs.
Bugara, Remon, and the others kept the kids away from the room. They made up some excuses and banned the children from entering the room because they didn't want to traumatize the kids.
Naya and her team started treating Zayn right away. They treated his issue as an emergency.
Benard stood at the side and was so worried that he was trembling. This can't go on. If things keep progressing this way, Mr. Giblo might actually…
As Benard walked away, he dialed Freda's number. He couldn't reach her, though.
