Chapter 2264


    Abruptly, Francesca''s eyes shot open. She flipped over and sat up in a hurry. “What are you doing?”


    The assistants were startled. The doctor exined, “Don''t worry. We''re not going to hurt you. We just


    want to do a blood test.”


    “A blood test? For what?” Before Francesca could go on, a few prison guards came in to hold her


    down.


    Sam, who was coiled around Francesca''s arm, was about to bite them. However, Francesca stopped it.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    It wasn''t the right time for Sam to show itself.


    “We''re doing a test to see if you''re pregnant,” the firstdy stated coldly.


    “Pregnant?” Francesca was dazed. “Are you kidding me?”


    “You throw up every day, and you''re constantly tired. Those are symptoms of pregnancy,” the guard


    said feebly. “Mrs. President brought a doctor to give you a check-up. You should be thanking her.”


    “Exactly.” The firstdy sneered. “If you''re pregnant with Danrique''s child, I have to tell him the good


    news.”


    Mixed feelings surged in Francesca''s heart. When the firstdy said that, she suddenly remembered


    that her period had beente by a month. Besides that, her behavior had been abnormal as ofte.


    Could I really be...


    Francesca hurriedly took her pulse, and her expression changed drastically.


    As a traditional medicine practitioner, she was well aware of what her pulse meant. Even then, she


    could not believe that she was pregnant at a time like that.


    The doctor had alreadye with medical staff to hold her down and draw her blood.


    “I''m making you get a check-up for your own good,” the firstdy said haughtily. “Just stay still and


    cooperate with us. It''ll be bad if we have to use force and end up hurting you.”


    “Okay.” Francesca decided there was no point in resisting. She turned to the doctor and said, “You


    want to draw my blood, right? I''ll do it myself.”


    The doctor nced at the firstdy, who nodded in response.


    He handed the equipment over to Francesca, who then drew a vial of her own blood. “Go ahead and


    do the test. Let me know when the results are out.”


    “I''ll wait here for the results with you,” the firstdy uttered as she took a seat on the chair outside.


    The doctor and his assistants left with the blood sample.


    The prison guard served the firstdy some tea. The firstdy made a gesture, then the guard made a


    pot of tea for Francesca as well and even gave her some exquisite snacks.


    “The food here is absolutely horrible. It should have been changed a long time ago.”


    Francesca didn''t hold back. She drank the piping hot tea and began eating the snacks.


    “Aren''t you afraid that they''re poisonous?” the firstdy asked while staring at her icily.


    “What is there to be afraid of?” Francesca was totally unbothered. “If you poison me, you won''t have


    any leverage over Danrique.”


    “You''re smart.” The firstdy didn''t deny it. “Since you''re that smart, why don''t you take a guess why I


    captured you?”


    “To deal with Danrique, is it not?”


    Francesca was stunned. “I don''t remember having done anything bad. What sins could I have


    “So, you''ve forgotten.” There was a hint of hatred in the firstdy''s voice.


    The only exceptions would be Hazel and— Co?tent of Dr?manovеls


    It was then that a figure shed across Francesca''s mind. Chrono!


    “Are you talking about Chrono?” She stared at the firstdy in shock.


    The firstdy''s gaze flickered.


    “Is Chrono your illegitimate child?” Francesca made a bold guess.
