Chapter 1980
“Candice!”
The man went on a killing spree while in a crazed state, fending off the men in ck alone.
Francesca immediately rushed over to hold Candice. When she realized there was still hope for the
child, she stopped the bleeding and gave Candice first-aid right away.
When the man finished off all of the men in ck who were after him, he held Francesca at gunpoint,
intending for her to keep Candicepany on the way to the afterworld.
Just when La was about to retaliate, Francesca interrupted, “There''s still hope to save Candice. I''m
a doctor, so I''m confident about saving her. We need to go to the hospital now.”
“Is that true?”
The man had assumed that Candice was beyond saving, but Francesca''s words reignited a spark of
hope within him. Immediately hailing a taxi, he and Francesca rushed Candice to the hospital.
After that, Francesca operated on Candice.
Candice had lost a lot of blood, and she had a rare blood type that the hospital had not stocked up on,
so La had to usher the hospital staff to arrange for some to be delivered.
All the while, the man waited around inside the operating room and even pointed a gun at the medical
superintendent, threatening to kill everybody, including Francesca, if something happened to Candice.
The operation should have gone smoothly until Francesca discovered that not only did Candice have
asthma but she had also had her heart operated on. The gunshot had triggered a heart attack, so
Candice was in critical condition.
Moreover, the blood wasn''t delivered on time. Coupled with various other reasons, the operation was a
failure.
In the end, Francesca couldn''t save Candice.
Before Candice drew herst breath, she held onto the candy that she had intended to give to
Francesca. It wasn''t until her heart stopped that she released her grip, and the candy dropped onto the
floor.
At that moment, Francesca broke down.
The child''s father held Francesca while interrogating her in a frenzy, “Didn''t you say you can save
Candice? Didn’t you promise she would be all right? Why didn''t the operation work? Why? She
wouldn''t have been shot in the first ce if she wasn''t trying to deliver you the candy. The operation
wouldn''t have failed if you truly were an exceptional doctor. This is all because of you! It''s your fault!”
Francesca was unable to refute him, so she could only endure his rage in passive silence.
After that, the man went on a rampage and began ughtering the doctors and nurses in the operating
room.
He even attempted to kill Francesca so that she could keep Candicepany on the way to the
afterworld.
However, La injured his arm and fled the scene alongside Francesca.
The hospital staff had called the police, but the man had managed to take thirteen lives before the
police could arrive. After that, he was subdued by the police, arrested, and sent to jail.

Thus, it was Francesca who had organized Candice''s funeral.
After she finished handling everything, she even visited the man in the jail. She came to know that his
name was Chrono and that he was the world''s top assassin who hailed from Rodunst.
At that moment, Chronos enemies caught up and fired their guns at him, leading to the tragedy.

Feeling guilty, Francesca apologized while sitting opposite him behind the ss panel in the prison.
Candice might not have suffered such a fate if she hadn''t tried to give me some candy.
Moreover, she couldn''t figure out the reason the operation failed when she was certain she could save
Candice. Although she wished to know what kind of operation Candice had undergone for her heart,
she had missed out on the opportunity to do so.
She had gone to the police station to retrieve Candice''s body after the incident, but the police had
already cremated her body. Thus, she could only hold the funeral with Candice''s ashes before handing
the address and information of her grave to Chrono at the jail.
