Chapter 1758


    Eventually, Francesca decided to prepare her own prescription and instructed the nurse to get


    her the necessary medication before beginning treatment.

    Of course, the nurse had inquired about Sean''s opinions and only did as instructed when the


    latter gave her his permission.


    It only took several days for Francesca''s injuries to recuperate, and by then, she could get off


    the bed and walk stably.


    The nurse was surprised by her speedy recovery and even asked if she was a doctor.


    Francesca did not answer the question and only requested her to prepare some water so that


    she could take a good bath.


    After all, she felt ufortable and unnerved for not getting to bathe for days because of her


    injuries.


    The nurse was in the bathroom preparing a tub of warm water when her high-pitched screams


    reverberated through the ce.


    “What is it?” Francesca walked in with a limp.


    “Snake... There''s a snake...” The nurse shivered violently, her face as white as a sheet. Fear


    gripped her heart as she glued her eyes to the green snake slithering in the bathtub.


    Seeing that, Francesca was not frightened and instead broke into a wide smile. “What a pretty


    green snake!”


    “I-Is the snake venomous?” The nurse stumbled backward in fear.


    “It’s a green viper, so yes, it''s venomous. But since it’s still a snakelet, its venom is less potent.”


    Francesca hobbled over and ran her slender hand across the warm water toward the green snake in


    the bathtub.


    Strangely enough, the snake was unrmed by her action and instead gently twined its body around


    her wrist. It looked just like a jade bracelet, glimmering under the lights.


    “Oh, my God!” The nurse stared at her in shock. “A-Aren''t you scared?”


    “Oh, my God!” The nurse stared at her in shock. “A-Aren''t you scared?”


    “What is there to be scared of?” Francesca gently ran her fingers over the green snake and chuckled.


    “This little one is so adorable!”


    “I''m afraid this might not be an ordinary snake. Mr. Lindberg might have raised it...” the nurse said. “You


    might die if it bites you.”


    “What? That guy raises snakes?” Francesca appeared excited upon hearing the nurse''s words.


    “Um...” The nurse did not dare to reveal more and nervously ran out. “I''ll get out first. Take your time to


    bath. And be careful not to let water touch your wounds.”


    Unbothered by the nurse''s reminder, Francesca took off her bathrobe and sat in the bathtub for a soak.


    She had her injured leg propped along the edges of the bathtub while she thered soap on her body


    with one hand and yed with the snake with the other.


    Despite their first encounter, the reptile seemed to hit it off well with Francesca. Instead of shying away


    or even biting her, it behaved unusually docile and gentle, almost as if it was having fun and enjoying


    its time with the human.


    Being overly immersed in ying with the snake, Francesca did not notice a slender figure casually


    walking in from outside.


    A shadow cast in from outside since the bathroom door was left ajar.


    Only then did Francescae around and have her guard up. She raised her gaze to meet with a pair


    of icy eyes.


    The man instinctively swept his gaze downward to her busty chest. He seemed slightly astonished at


    first but quickly looked away.


    “You...” Francesca only snapped back to her senses a few secondster before wrapping her arms


    around her chest as she screamed, “Ahh!”


    Danrique shut his eyes tight and blew a whistle into the air.


    Following that, the snake slithered away from Francesca''s arm.


    Bending down slightly, Danrique reached his hand out toward the snake, and it obediently


    slithered to his palm, staying there.


    “I''m here to look for this little one.” He turned to leave after leaving thatment.


    “You b*stard!”


    Francesca mmed her hand against the water in the bathtub angrily.


    Water sshed onto Danrique''s pants, but he remained unfazed and strode out emotionlessly.


    Seething with anger, Francesca turned to look at the mirror hanging on the wall.


    Now that I''m in short hair and half of my face is covered in bandages, that jerk surely can''t


    recognize me. But even so, he still wants to peek at me taking a bath? What a sicko!


    “Hey, are you all right?” The nurse rushed over and looked at Francesca, baffled.


    “Why didn''t you lock the door?” Francesca sounded awfully hostile. “That guy just saw


    everything!”


    “No one here has the habit of locking doors.” The nurse put on a bitter smile. “Hurry and finish


    your bath. Mr. Lindberg is requesting your presence.”
