Chapter 1515qJust as “Zachary” spoke, he leaned in to kiss Charlotte's ear, but she avoided it by reflex and even
pushed him away. “There's a huge controversy brewing now. Didn't you read the news?”
“Just ignore them,” he reassured her. “They will naturally stop in a couple of days.”
“Stop?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Did you actually read the news? Given how haywire the
speculations have become, how can they stop naturally? When you were missing, an internal conflict
occurred within the company, with the board of directors trying to remove me. After painstakingly
suppressing them, we now have another controversy on our hands. Do you really think it will go away
by itself if we don't do anything about it?”
“I...” The man was taken aback at first. However, he quickly apologized, “I'm sorry. It's all my fault.”
“Did Kallum come and see you just now?” she asked candidly. “What did he say?”
“Nothing much. He came to see for himself whether I was still alive and asked me if the auditor could
return to the company. Also, he even said...”
Looking at Charlotte meekly, “Zachary” dared not continue his explanation.

“He said that it's inappropriate for a lady to be at the helm and that I should return to take control,” he
answered as he observed her reaction.
“He's right.” Not only was Charlotte not angry, but she also lamented, “In the few days in which you
were missing, I was flooded with accusations from all kinds of people. Now that you're back, a new
controversy has been ignited. The last few days have been the most tiring time of my entire life. If I
could, I really don't want to do this. Therefore, you'd better receive treatment so that I can hand this
mess over to you once you've recovered. I truly can't be bothered anymore.”“Speaking of my health, I have something to share with you,” “Zachary” remarked with an earnest
expression. “These few days, I can feel my condition improving significantly, and I also feel more
energetic. In fact, I was wondering if this incident had removed the toxins in my body by accident.”
“Really?” Charlotte was elated. “I noticed the same about you too. Since the poison came about under
strange circumstances, it wouldn't be a surprise if it disappeared in an equally mysterious manner.”
“In that case—”
“I'll get Raina to come over and do a blood test for you. That way, we'll know for sure.”
While speaking, Charlotte picked up her phone to make the call.
“Zachary” hastened to stop her. “Wait, I don't think there's any need to do so. If she finds out that I've
not healed, it might cause me unnecessary stress.”
She nodded. “That's true. Why don't you continue with the treatment Dr. Felch left behind? We can
observe the results over a few days.”
“There's no need for that. It's not like I have any symptoms—”
“What do you mean you don't?” Charlotte grew concerned suddenly. “Ever since you returned, you've
been behaving strangely. In fact, many have been wondering what's wrong with you. If you hadn't
intermittently lost your memory before the fire, I would have thought that you weren't my husband.”
Her words stunned “Zachary” for a moment, and he quickly explained, “Of course, I'm your husband.
Fine, you're right. My sickness is getting to my head. I do need to receive the treatment.”
“That's the way.” Charlotte nodded in relief. “I'll get Hayley and Sam to do it later. Recover as soon as
you can so that you can manage the company again. As of now, I can barely keep it together bymyself.”
“All right, I got it.” “Zachary” forced himself to agree. “But Kallum told me that the board of directors is
causing trouble again. How are you planning to deal with them?”
“What else can I do? They don't respect me at all. On my way home, Johann even called me to get you
to show your face, even if it's just to say a word or two. Therefore, receive your treatment tonight and
follow me to the company tomorrow morning.”
