Chapter 1852


    They soon arrived at the airport. Once they passed through the security check, they arrived at the


    boarding gate.


    Anthony gave Francesca a bottle of water and couldn’t help butment, “Say, since you''re so rich


    now, why do you still act thrifty? All our flights have been in the economy ss. I can''t even stretch my


    legs!”


    “But I could.” She was reading a medical document.


    “That''s because you''re short. I''m one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, you know. My legs cry out in


    pain every time we sit in an economy-ss seat,” he mumbled.


    “You can upgrade your seat, but you''ll have to do it out of your own pocket.” Francesca rolled her eyes


    at him.


    “Also, I''m one hundred and sixty-two centimeters tall. That''s not short.”


    “Right, right. You''re not short, you''re just dainty.” Anthony immediately tried to tter her. “I’m not going


    to upgrade my seat. I wanna sit with you.”


    She ignored him and continued to read the document.


    He was very bored, so he decided to do his work. As he did, he checked out the news on Windt


    Corporation and found out that thepany had had a very big problem in the recent months.


    After checking the numbers, hemented, “Seems like a powerful force really is messing with Windt


    Corporation.”


    “What is done cannot be undone. There''s nothing we can change.” Francesca seemed calm. “The only


    thing we can do now is to give his daughter a helping hand when she needs it.”


    “Mhm." Anthony nodded. “You''ve already seen through life and death being a doctor. Have you seen


    through the worldly matters now too?”


    “When I was young, I thought as long as I''m powerful enough, I can control everything. However, in


    reality, some things can''t be controlled even with power...” She couldn''t help but sigh.


    “You''re still thinking about that?” He looked at her with a pained expression. “You did your best. The


    final results have nothing to do with you.” “If I wasn''t arrogant, perhaps that child would''ve still been


    alive.” She felt pretty gloomy when she recalled that.


    A few years ago, when she just became a doctor, she once treated a patient. It was a six-year-old girl.


    The child''s father went through a lot of effort so she could have an operation. However, ultimately, due


    to a few reasons, the operation failed, and the child passed away.


    It impacted Francesca a lot because before that, she thought there was nothing she couldn''t do.


    She arrogantly swore to the patient''s father that the operation would seed.


    The father trusted herpletely, so much so that he even started to prepare his child’s birthday party.

    However, the child died at the operation table.


    The father was plunged into despair. He hated her to the bone and swore to make her pay the price.


    After that happened, she cut herself off from the outside world and stopped performing her duties as a


    doctor for a year until she received William''s invitation to go to


    Danontand.


    “You were neen at the time. It’s only natural that you aren''t experienced enough...” Anthony


    consoled.


    “Let''s not talk about it anymore.” She changed the topic and headed to the restroom.


    She wanted to wash her face to readjust her mood.


    Bang!


    Suddenly, a muffled sound was heard. Something zipped past her head and hit the wall behind her.


    When she turned back, she saw it was a bullet.


    Before she could dwell on it, a battle had ensued.


    Two groups of people were engaged in a violent gunfight, and she was unintentionally stuck in-


    between.  Draмa?ovеls.cом


    When she raised her head, she saw Danrique''s men among the chaos.


    So, it was likely that someone was ambushing him, and his people were fighting back.


    "Die, Danrique!” Suddenly, someone shouted from behind and fired their gun at Danrique.
