Chapter 1982


    “Also, I would like to know the details about you and Danrique. Does he really love you? Is he really


    serious about marrying you?”


    Francesca didn''t feel like continuing this conversation. “I guess so... But now’s not the time to talk about


    this. If there’s a chance, I would like to talk to Chrono on the phone. I still think Candice''s condition was

    La cut her short immediately. “Don''t be silly, Francesca. That person is crazy. There’s something


    wrong with his mind, and you can’t talk sense into a crazy person. Don’t try to save someone who is


    mentally ill. Some diseases are just incurable, and you have to learn to ept that. No matter how


    powerful you think you are, there are just some things you can''t do. No one is almighty enough to solve


    everything.”


    “I know you''re right, but Candice''s death has left me trauma.” Francesca sighed.


    “Francesca—”


    “All right, Ms. La. I''m just thinking out loud here. I know my limits, so you don''t have to worry about


    me. I''ll be fine because so many people are protecting me,” said Francesca, changing the subject.


    “Okay then. Stay safe. Call me every day to let me know you’re fine.” La dropped the topic, knowing


    what she said wouldn''t make any difference.


    “Got it.”


    After ending the call, Francesca looked at the dark sky outside and wondered if Chrono woulde


    again that night, or if he would contact her through some special way.


    If he would, she would still like to have a proper chat with him.


    Right then, Heidi and Samantha knocked on the door and entered. After inspecting the ce to ensure


    Francesca''s safety, they nned to stand guard in the room like how they did the previous night, but


    Francesca sent them away.


    The duo was concerned, but they respected Francesca''s decision. In the end, they chose not to disturb


    her and stood guard outside the room.


    Francesca switched off the main lights on purpose and left the wallmp on as she waited for Chrono


    to contact her.


    As expected, her phone received a call from an unknown number soon after that. She nced outside


    and answered the call. “Hello?”


    “I have to give it to you for having the Lindberg family to back you up.”


    Chrono was fluent in speaking Ustranasion, and his voice was hoarse and deep, bringing with it a tinge


    of chillness.


    “You camest night. Are you thinking of taking revenge on me?” asked Francesca without beating


    around the bush.


    “You have quite the self-awareness. Don''t think you''re safe under the Lindberg family''s protection. Just


    you wait. I''lle at you soon,” uttered Chrono ferociously.


    “There''s something I want to ask you about.” Francesca tried talking sense into the man.


    “Yes?” Chrono was confused.


    “Had Candice undergone a heart surgery before?” Francesca queried.


    “What are you talking about?” At the mention of Candice''s name, Chrono became agitated.


    “Candice’s main cause of death was the trigger of her heart problem coupled with excessive loss of


    blood. When she was shot, the bullet didn''t hit her vital organs. She died because


    “I just want to make sure—”


    “Make sure about what? Can you revive Candice? If it hadn''t been for you, Candice wouldn''t have


    died!” Chrono bellowed in rage. Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm
