Chapter 1938


    Getting to his feet, Danrique straightened his clothes, his movements as elegant as ever. However, the


    words he then casually uttered carried a beast-like possessiveness.


    “I''m going to devour you when you''ve recovered!”


    His Adam''s apple bobbed slightly with suppressed desire.


    “Buzz off!” Francesca roared furiously.


    Pulling the covers over her, Danrique shed her a faint smile before spinning on his heels and leaving.


    Just then, La disguised as medical staff, entered the room with Norah to deliver the soup. Danrique


    nced at her but said nothing, heading straight for the study room.


    Later, Sean went to Danrique to render his report. In the end, he cautiously reminded, “Mr. Lindberg, I


    can''t shake off the feeling that there''s something strange about that medical staff.”


    In response, Danrique arched a brow. “Oh? What about her?”


    “When I went to look for Ms. Felch this morning...”


    Sean proceeded to tell the man everything that had happened in the hospital in detail.


    After listening to it all, Danrique remarked blithely, “Didn''t Kerrie say that nothing happened?”


    “Yes, but-”


    “Cece asked for her personally, so what if there''s something off about her? It doesn''t matter as long as


    Cece is happy.” Danrique''s voice was detached.


    “But that elderly woman might not be an ordinary person.”


    By then, Danrique frowned, a touch impatient. “So what? Why am I employing the lot of you? Is it not to


    resolve problems? What use are you if you can''t even handle an elderly woman?”


    “Understood.” Sean hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to speak further.


    He knew full well that La and the unfortunate ex-boyfriend were probably in cahoots with Francesca.


    Initially, he wanted to caution Danrique, but he ended up being lectured by the man instead.


    Danrique went out again after lunch. Before leaving, he said to Sean, “Leave a few smart ones to keep


    guard at the castle.”


    “Understood.” Sean immediately made the arrangements. Naturally, he knew that his employer didn''t


    want Francesca to escape.


    Right then, Sloan delivered Francesca''s bag to her room.


    Francesca quickly dismissed everyone else and made up an excuse to have La stay.


    The instant La opened Francesca''s bag and beheld the gems inside, her eyes glittered with


    excitement. “Whoa! He''s really generous and treats you amazingly well! Most importantly, he''s even so


    handsome! You should just yield, Francesca!”


    “What are you saying, Ms. La? Are you not worried at all when Anthony has been captured?”


    Francesca was sprawled on the bed with helplessness etched across her features.


    Contrarily, La wore an expression of disdain. “Why should I be worried? Danrique won''t kill him. At


    most, he''ll keep him locked up to ckmail you. Furthermore, he''s dumb, so he can''t grow without

    being taught a lesson.”


    Likewise, La echoed, “Well, that''s true. It''s cold without a shred of warmth.”


    “You call them pets when they''reposed of an eagle, wolf, and leopard?” La teased.


    In response, Francesca rolled her eyes. “They''re incredibly adorable! Anyway, I want to leave!”


    “Don''t worry, for with me here, I''ll get you out for sure! Be good, take your meals properly, and


    recuperate well. When the right timees, I''ll definitely figure out a way!” La coaxed. Content

    “How are you going to do that when ourmunication device is gone? Besides, Anthony is in their


    hands.” Francesca''s brows were creased deeply.


    “That’s true.” A wealth of relief suffused Francesca.


    “But Francesca, you still have to learn to refine and use poison. It''s not to harm others but to save


    yourself at the critical moment.”
