Danrique hastily grabbed Francesca. Just when she was about to struggle, he pinned her against the wall. “Listen to me. | can
exin—”
Francesca was both emotional and enraged. “What do you want to say? What is there to exin? You went to great lengths to
trick me into returning just because you want me to treat another woman? Who is she? Your mistress? How daring of you,
Danrique Lindberg! Are you not afraid that I''d kill you?”
“We''re in the ward here. If you want to hit or scold me, you can do so as you please back in the bedroom. But right now, please
listen to me first, okay?”
“| don''t want to listen! | don''t want to hear it! Mmph!”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
Before Francesca could go off the deep end, Danrique pped a hand over her mouth and restrained her body. Only then could
he start speaking quietly.
“The woman on the hospital bed is known as Charlotte Windt. She''s my aunt''s daughter and my biological cousin. The Nacht
family poisoned her with a deadly poison, and she''s hanging on by a thread. | hired other medical teams, but they all failed to
cure her. | only sought you out because there''s no other recourse. Right now, you''re the only one who can save her!”
Pausing for a moment, Danrique added, “As you know, | owe Aunt Isabe a debt of gratitude. She''s the person who treats me
best in this world, and Charlotte is her only daughter. | must save her, even at the cost of my life. Therefore... | beg you. Please
save her. As long as you do so, I''ll agree to anything!”
Subsequently, he moved his hand away and looked at her anxiously.
Francesca shot daggers at him, but she no longer mored as she did earlier, merely walking over for a look at the woman on
the hospital bed. She took thetter''s pulse and checked her eyes before scrutinizing her countenance.
In the end, she turned and asked, “What did you say her name was?”
“Charlotte Windt. But she''s going to change her surname to Lindberg very soon. If she pulls through, | want to restore her identity
as a member of the Lindberg family,” Danrique answered.
“Her father is Richard Windt?”
In all honesty, Francesca had also recognized that fact, but she still needed to confirm it further.
“How did you know that?” Surprise flooded Danrique.
Francesca''s gaze gentled. “I owe her father a debt of gratitude. How could she be your cousin?”
Danrique then exined, “She was born of my aunt and Richard. I''ll exin the specifics to you in a while. Take a look at her first
and see whether there''s hope.”
“The chances are low. She''s presently no different from aatose patient. It''ll be exceedingly difficult for her to survive.
Besides, even if she does pull through, there''ll be seque in the future.” Francesca''s brows were knitted together tightly.
“She must live. It''s imperative that she does, for | owe my aunt that much.” Danrique remained resolved.
“Til try my best.”
Putting on a pair of gloves, Francesca opened her needle pouch and took out a silver needle. She jabbed it into Charlotte''s neck,
only to see that the blood flowing out was ck.
“This is a huge undertaking. | need eight quick-witted medical staff to be my assistants. That aside, I''ll make a list. Prepare the
medicinal herbs and medical equipment for me.”
“I''ll have someone make the arrangements right away.”
Danrique instructed Sean to see to it, and Sean immediately left to execute his orders.

Three dayster, when she walked out of the clinic, she copsed onto the ground.
“Francesca!”
Fortunately, Danrique caught her in time and carried her back to the bedroom.
Verily, he knew that she was dead on her feet.
He wiped her down before hugging her as she slept.
Lying beside her, he propped a hand against his chin and studied her quietly.
