The Unveiling of Secret Queen-Chapter 1384: Who Do They Take Nathalie For?

Audrick Zachmann didn’t expect that he had considered these things. For a moment, he was even more unsure of how to address him: "Dad, since you care so much about Nathalie, why do you..."

"Many things are not as you think, not everything is strictly black or white." Leonardy Zachmann didn’t want his son to lecture him, so he sighed, patted his hand, and said, "Give her this bank card, but don’t say it’s from me. Just tell her it’s some living expenses from you."

Audrick Zachmann held the bank card; it felt both hot and heavy.

Leonardy Zachmann seemed to know what he was going to say: "I know what you want to tell me, and I also know what you want to ask. I can only tell you one thing, there’s no way!"

"It’s not that I don’t care about Nathalie, nor do I forget the gratitude I owe your uncle... but on one side is a wife and daughter, and on the other, an old father, brother, and niece. If you were caught in the middle, what would you do?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Audrick Zachmann tightened his grip on the card. He didn’t know what he would do, as he had never thought about these things.

Leonardy Zachmann’s eyes were filled with flickering shadows. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked towards the direction of Nathalie’s hospital room, giving a bitter smile and a faintly self-mocking laugh: "...Today, this uncle of hers might have disappointed her."

Audrick Zachmann didn’t know how to comfort him either. He only felt that his father’s back had become much more hunched than before, and said with difficulty, "Nathalie is not that kind of person."

"It’s me who has wronged her," Leonardy Zachmann said quietly.

After speaking, his gaze drifted into the distance. Eventually, he pulled himself back to reason, gathered his emotions, gave Audrick Zachmann’s shoulder a pat, and said with helplessness in his tone, "Let’s go, we’ll head back first."

Nathalie Quinlan only had a scratch on her right arm, plus a wrist fracture. Though the injuries looked quite serious, they weren’t ones that required hospitalization.

Amadeus Yancey took anti-inflammatory ointment from the doctor and then went with Mr. Avalon to the Chinese Medicine clinic to get some Traditional Chinese Medicine for Nathalie to condition her body.

After doing all this, he went with Sadam Vinson to handle Nathalie’s discharge procedures.

Once everything was settled, he informed Mr. Zachmann and Stanley Zachmann, and then took Nathalie back to Rhine first.

When it came to Nathalie’s injury, Alfred Garland was the most tense.

Once they got home, Alfred didn’t need any instructions. He took the Traditional Chinese Medicine that Mr. Avalon had prescribed for Nathalie and hurried about in the kitchen to brew the medicine.

After Nathalie came back, she went upstairs first, saying she needed to check on something.

In the downstairs living room were Brian Bonette, Govert Griffin, and Sadam Vinson. Govert, being an attentive person, saw Alfred busy in the kitchen brewing medicine for Nathalie and decided to make a pot of tea himself, pouring a cup for Sadam Vinson, Brian Bonette, and Amadeus Yancey.

Sadam Vinson’s mind was ablaze with anger, feeling anxious. He picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it in one gulp as if it were liquor, then placed the teacup back on the tea table, suppressing his anger, and said, "The entire Gordon family must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall; even if they brought a reckless Mateo Gordon, his mom had to join the fray. Are they afraid their family won’t die thoroughly enough?"

Amadeus Yancey crossed his legs, under Sadam’s gaze, leisurely picked up his tea cup, lowered his eyelids, lazily watching the tea leaves rise and fall in the cup, and said, "Maybe they’re too idle and looking for something to do."

"Tsk, yes, now they’ve found something to do. It’s said that Mrs. Gordon was making phone calls to ask for help everywhere before the police took her away."

Sadam Vinson found this situation quite laughable, so he snickered and said, "I have no idea what she’s thinking. Does she seriously think that after such a huge incident, she can still find some connections to resolve it? What’s she treating Nathalie like!"
