Chapter 2025 What Is The Problem


    Francesca rolled her eyes and snapped, “That’s none of your business!” Anthony grinned cheekily and leaned


    closer. “I’m just concerned about you. Where’s your luggage?”


    Tossing her backpack at him, she said, “There are valuables inside. Take good care of it.” “What is it? Whoa! Where


    did you get all this jewelry?” His eyes lit up as soon as he opened the backpack. “They’re a gift from that b*stard.”


    The mere thought of Danrique made her blood boil.


    The light in Anthony’s eyes died instantly. Then, he said arrogantly, “What’s so great about that? I’ll buy some for

    you in the future too. So what if he’s rolling in money? He’s promiscuous and unfaithful, and his feelings for you


    aren’t genuine—”


    “Shut up! You talk too much!” Francesca growled in a low voice, frowning. Not daring to utter another word, he


    hurriedly opened the car door and protected her head as she got into the car.


    Francesca scanned the surroundings carefully but did not spot anyone suspicious. Then, Anthony started the engine


    and drove off. He even put some music on as he drove at a leisurely pace on the wide road.


    Nheless, she was still a little on edge and dared not let her guard down, only breathing a tiny sigh of relief when


    they reached the deserted highway. She asked Anthony, “Where are Ms. La and Mr. Lincoln now?”


    He replied, “Mr. Lincoln is at the foundation, and Ms. La is at the orphanage. She has been at the hospital the


    past few days and only returned to the orphanage today because something came up.”


    “It’s nothing serious, is it?” she asked.


    “It’s nothing serious.”


    “In that case, head straight to the hospital,” Francesca said decisively. “Contact the hospital. I want to know the


    details of Lacy’s condition.”


    “Okay.”


    Anthony got in touch with the hospital as he drove. When thetter learned that Francesca was on the way over,


    they said they would immediately inform Lacy’s attending doctor to await her arrival.


    La called while they were still on their way to check if Francesca hadnded, and thetter told her that she had


    already arrived some time ago. After assuring La that everything was fine, Francesca also mentioned that she


    was heading straight to the hospital.


    La said she still had some business to attend to at the orphanage and would meet up with Francesca at the


    hospitalter. The older woman also kept reminding Francesca that she and Anthony had to be careful.


    After hanging up, Francesca mused with a relieved sigh, “It looks like Chrono still hasn’t recovered after getting


    bitten by Sam and doesn’t have the strength to get up to anything. His aplices probably won’t dare to strike


    alone either.”


    Anthony nodded. “That seems to be so. It’s been quite quiet here, and there’s been nothing much over at the


    orphanage. The only issue is Lacy’s illness.”


    “Ms. La only mentioned that Lacy’s condition has worsened, but she didn’t give any specifics. Do you know what


    happened?” she asked.


    “Previously, when there was an explosion at the orphanage, a piece of metal got lodged in Lacy’s body. Although


    there was damage to her spleen when they operated on her to remove the piece of metal, her condition was


    stable. But for some reason,plications suddenly started arising over thest couple of days,” he exined.


    “Who did the surgery? Were the person’s skills up to par?” she pressed hurriedly.


    “I heard that it was S Nation’s best surgeon. Lacy’s condition wasn’t thatplicated at the time, so a surgeon


    would’ve been able to handle it. Nobody expected things to take a turn after so long. That doctor was also


    extremely shocked,” Anthony replied, continuing to ry what had happened to Francesca as he drove.


    Francesca could not help feeling uneasy. It stands to reason that even if there were suchplications, they


    would’ve cropped up during the observation period. But in Lacy’s case, it has been quite some time. She should be


    fine by now. Why is it suddenly urring now? Could it be that they didn’t remove all the remnants of that piece of


    metal during the operation? Or are there any other hidden injuries or conditions they didn’t detect at the time?


    However, the chances of that are very slim. After all, those surgeons are the best in their field. They couldn’t


    possiblyck such professionalism… But if that’s not the problem, then what is?
