Chapter 1761 Master Felch
George's face turned pale in anger, but just as he was about to speak, Danrique gave a signal,
indicating Sean to drag the doctor away.
âWait! Listen to me, Mr. Lindberg...â
George tried to explain himself but to no avail, and his voice quickly faded from earshot.
"Are you happy now?" Danrique gazed at Francesca.
âVery,â the woman responded with a smile. âBy the way, the treatmentâs going to cost you a
hundred million. You don't have a problem with that, do you?â
âNot at all,â Danrique answered readily. âBut if I'm not better in half a month, I'm going to take your
life.â
He sounded calm, but there was something chilling about his voice.
"A hundred million or my life?â Not only was Francesca not afraid, but she even beamed smugly. âI
guess my life's worth that much, huh?â
Danrique merely stared at her while remaining silent.
This was the first time a woman didn't fear him one bit.
Or rather, the second.
The first woman was the one who had used a knife against him back at Casino Inferno.
Interesting.
âJust to be safe, give me my one-hundred-million check first. It's not like I can run away while I'm
here, anyway.â
Having already lost his patience, Danrique frowned as he emanated a frosty aura.
âLeave it to me.â Sean quickly stepped forward. âLet's talk outside. By the way, what's your name?â
âI'm...â Francesca pondered for a moment. âI'm Master Felch.â
âHuh?â Sean thought he had misheard. âHow do you spell that?"
"F-E GH."
The man was speechless.
Still, he handed Francesca the check before returning to the study room.
He then served Danrique some tea as the latter went through some documents. âCan we really trust
her, Mr. Lindberg?â
âFor her to be able to manage my injury in such a short time and with such limited resources, she
has to be skilled. On top of that, sheâs not even afraid of Sam.â
Danrique had been observing Francesca the whole time. The nurse he had placed beside her would
report the woman's every move.
I thought she was just slightly capable, but from the way she played with Sam, sheâs definitely not
an average Joe.
âThat's a surprise.â Sean was visibly stunned too. âSam's been bathed in toxins all its life and is
covered in poison. Even we wouldn't dare go near it.â
âWatch her closely,â Danrique instructed.
"Yes, sir.â
Sean prepared the medicinal ingredients as requested by Francesca.
âThese won't do,â the woman remarked with a frown. âThey're all crude herbs that have been
filtered. They won't be effective.â
âI'll keep lookingâ"
âIt's fine,â Francesca decided. âThese herbal concoctions are hard to come by in the first place, let
alone high-grade ones. You also didn't manage to prepare everything on the list I gave you. Just
one missing ingredient makes a world of difference.â
"What should I do, then?â Sean asked in a panic.
âIt'd be best if we could go to Chanaea. That's the only place we can get high-quality herbs.â
âBut we can't leave yet. Mr. Lindberg still has some matters to take care of,â Sean replied helplessly.
âHow about I get someone to send the herbs over from Chanaea?â
âThat could work if you manage to get the quality I'm looking for, but time is of the essence.â
Francesca glanced at the calendar. âThe longer we wait, his condition will become worse. Also, his
wound is near his kidneys. So, I won't be responsible if anything happens to his manly functions.â
âUhh...â
A pale-faced Sean quickly reported to Danrique, who grew just as worried.
"Get someone to send the herbs over right away.â
âYes, sir!"
In just a few days, Francesca went from being just an injured woman to Danriqueâs personal doctor.
Now, everyone would greet her no matter where she went. âGood day, Master Felch!â
