Chapter 2232 Uneasiness


    “Maybe she didn’t want the crowd in the hall to overhear her talking earlier,” Francesca postted. “Especially


    when Monica was around. It seems that the firstdy doesn’t quite like Monica.”


    La weighed up Francesca’s reasoning and instantly acknowledged it, for the former, too, wasn’t that fond of


    Monica herself. From her perspective, Monica had always been acting shady, seemingly shrewd and cunning to the


    core.


    Yet, she knew very well that Monica was merely working for William. Even if William had been harboring any sort of


    ulterior motive, he would still have to take Francesca’s side for the time being.


    After all, both Francesca and Danrique could offer him the protection that he needed.


    “Danrique has already been missing for so long. I’m really worried,” uttered Francesca with concern. “I’m not going


    to give up any chance, so even if it were a trap, I’d still go check it out.”


    “All right, then. I’ll go with you,” said La as she held Francesca’s hand.


    Thetter shook her head. “No. I can handle it alone. You guard the house. Considering that we don’t have as many


    bodyguards with us, I’m afraid those two sc*mbags might send someone to steal the seal.”


    “True enough.” La bobbed her head upon hearing that. “Sloan and the rest won’t be able to manage on their


    own. And if those two were to reallye after the seal, it’d be a disaster…”


    “But with you around, there’s nothing more for me to worry about.”


    Just when Francesca was speaking, a call came through. It was William, requesting her presence. She then ordered


    someone to fetch her the medical kit and went on her way.


    For the past few days, Francesca had been busy dealing with the horde of her enemies while having all her thoughts


    fixated on Danrique. She was understandably moody and preupied with troubles, thus failing to treat William


    wholeheartedly.


    During the visit on that very night, she gave William a check-up right away. Given that William had been on his


    medication, his injuries weren’t affected, but at the same time, there weren’t any improvements either.


    Thus, Francesca performed the treatment and even prescribed him a new course of medicine.

    Looking at Francesca’s haggard appearance, William knew he had to offer some kind offort. “Don’t worry,


    Francesca. L will be fine…”


    “Everyone keeps telling me that, but how can I not worry when he has gonepletely radio silent, to the point


    where not even Gordon can locate him?” The worried look on Francesca’s face didn’t abate.


    “Actually, have you ever thought about—”


    William’s voice trailed off just when words began to leap out of his mouth.


    “Thought about what?” questioned Francesca curiously.


    “O-Oh, it’s nothing,” William blurted out, abruptly changing the topic. “Anyway, you shouldn’t act alone while L isn’t


    by your side. If you really have to go out there, take Monica with you.”


    “Yes, that’s right! I can tag along any time,” Monica hastily chimed in. “By the way, what did the firstdy talk to you


    about a minute ago? I only realized that she was still speaking to you after I left.”


    “Nothing much.”


    Truth be told, Francesca detested the way Monica had been behaving toward her. It felt like thetter was spying on


    her round the clock.


    Furthermore, since the firstdy found Monica distasteful, Francesca would never disclose to Monica her n of


    meeting Gerard together with the firstdy.


    Needless to say, Monica noticed how Francesca was growing wary of her and immediately tried to exin herself,


    “Ms. Felch, have I—”


    Unfortunately, she had to swallow her words when she saw William shooting her a meaningful nce.


    With that, Francesca gave William a few pointers before spinning on her heels and heading home.


    “I’m sure something’s up with the firstdy,” Monica grumbled. “She didn’t say much when I was around, but when


    I stepped away to the car, I saw her chatting up a storm with Ms. Felch. And after seeing how Ms. Felch dodged my


    question earlier—”


    “You’re right to think that Francesca doesn’t want to tell you more, but have you ever wondered why that’s the


    case?” retorted William with a frown. “You ought to act more naturally instead of making her feel like you’re spying


    on her, don’t you think?”


    Monica straightaway hung her head low in shame. “I suppose.”


    “Now that Francesca’s obviously keeping you at arm’s length, you should take this time to reflect on yourself. If this


    continues, she’s not going to bring you anywhere she goes,” fumed William.


    “Please forgive me, Your Highness…”


    “The situation isn’t looking good right now. The Lindberg family is short-staffed, and if Francesca does meet up with


    the firstdy tomorrow, there’s a possibility that she might end up falling into the other party’s trap…”


    William’s heart was filled with uneasiness as those words escaped from his lips.
