Chapter 2018


    That''s Hazel''s voice! Francesca grew so enraged that her hand began to shake as she clenched her


    phone. Like a bomb, the woman was ready to explode. "Danrique Lindberg!"


    The shout was so loud that it almost deafened Danrique. With his eyebrows furrowed, the man was


    about to exin himself when he was distracted by a noise outside.


    "You better have a good exnation for that. Otherwise, I''ll —" Before Francesca could finish her


    sentence, the call ended.


    The woman stared at her phone with widened eyes because she could not believe what had just


    happened. Did he just hang up on me? At a moment like this? This means he must be guilty of seeing


    that woman!


    Francesca''s heart hurt even more when she thought about how Danrique had hugged and kissed her


    before leaving. The man had even proposed to her romantically.


    Suddenly, everything seemed like a big fat joke to her. How naive and stupid can I be? Why did I


    believe his words?


    When Francesca felt as though she was on the brink of losing her mind, she felt a sharp pain from the


    wound behind her head.


    The woman then reminded herself to stay calm as she leaned back on the sofa while holding her head.


    Francesca tried to convince herself that it was all just a misunderstanding. Maybe it''s not what I think;


    maybe Hazel''s trying to gain attention by fabricating a scandal; maybe it''s just a part of Dan rique''s


    marketing strategy I have to believe that he won''t cheat on me.


    With that thought in mind, Francesca suppressed her emotions and tried calling Danrique again. This


    time, her call was outright declined. When she tried again, all she could hear on the phone was a busy

    tone.


    Obviously, her phone number had been cklisted.


    Wonderful! Francesca''s face turned as grim as a graveyard as she mocked herself for trying to defend


    Danrique.


    After tossing her reasoning out the window, the woman wanted nothing more than to fly over to


    Summerbank to strangle both Danrique and Hazel.


    Just when Francesca was about to go crazy, her phone suddenly rang.


    She hurriedly answered the call, thinking it was Danrique on the other end of the line. "Danrique, you-"


    "It''s me, Francesca," informed La. "Is this a good time?


    Can I talk to you?"


    "Sure, Ms. La." Francesca did not want to worry La, so she did her best to control her emotions.


    "How''s your recovery?"


    Even though La sounded calm, Francesca could immediately tell that something was wrong. "I''m


    much better now; I can move around without any trouble. What''s wrong, Ms. La? Did something


    happen at the


    orphanage?"


    "Lacy is suffering fromplications, and it doesn''t look good. There was nothing the hospital could do


    to help, so I had no choice but to call you," revealed La anxiously.


    "Just hang on. I''ll be right over." Francesca immediately began to collect her credentials.


    "Are you sure?" inquired La worriedly. "I know I shouldn''t have called you, but Lacy is hanging by a


    thread. You''re the only one who can save the child."


    "It''s fine. I''ll be back as soon as possible."


    "Wait! You should have the Lindbergs'' men escort you.


    "Don''t worry about me; I know what to do. I''m hanging up now."


    After ending the phone call, Francesca was ready to do as suggested. However, she changed her mind


    when she

    The woman then booked a flight and quickly packed her bags before heading downstairs.


    "Ms. Felch, are you... going somewhere?"
