Chapter 1798 A Secret That Cannot Be Told
Danrique fell into silence as he heard that. âIt does seem that way,â he murmured, his brows
creasing.
âThen...â
âThat d*mned woman.â
The man clenched his teeth in rage, but his wound began to hurt just as he was about to say
anything more.
âIt's fine as long as you're aware of what sheâs like. Don't be fooled,â Sean remarked with concern.
âYou've never dated anyone before, after all, so it's possible you might fall for her schemes.â
"Kick her out once I've recovered.â Danrique frowned. âAlso, get Gordon to keep looking into
Francesco's whereabouts.â
"Yes, Sir,â Sean replied with a nod. âI'll get some information from Robin since heâs been looking for
the same person.â
âOkay,â Danrique answered before slumping into the sofa.
Just then, Robin knocked on the door and entered with a few attendants and a cart full of food.
"Good evening, Mr. Lindberg. It's time for dinner,â said Robin politely. âHis Highness has specifically
hired a Chanaean chef to prepare you your favorite dishes.â
âThank you.â Sean hastily welcomed them.
Not feeling much of an appetite, Danrique greeted Robin casually before heading into his bedroom
to rest.
"Since Mr. Lindberg isn't feeling well, I'll take my leave now.â
Robin spoke to Sean briefly before getting ready to leave, with the latter escorting him.
Then, Francesca so happened to return with the concoction she had made, and her eyes met
Robin's.
After a quick glance, the woman thought nothing of their encounter. Robin, on the other hand,
stared at her in shock and couldn't keep cast his gaze away.
Francesca nodded at him before making her way around them and entering the room.
Just as Sean was about to follow her, Robin quickly grabbed hold of him. âSean.â
âWhat is it?"
"Why does this doctor always have her mask on?â Robin couldn't contain his curiosity. âI first
thought she was a young man, but now that I've taken a closer look, it seems sheâs a woman. What
is her name?â
Sean laughed. âYou just asked me so many questions at a time. Where should I begin? Anyway, why
do you seem so interested in Mr. Lindberg's personal doctor?â
âShe looks a lot like someone I know...â Robin trailed off.
âWho?â
âLike...â Robin paused briefly. âLike the daughter of a distant relative.â
"Oh."
âDon't just stand there!â Robin pestered. âAnswer my questions.â
"She got into a car accident and injured her face. I guess sheâs wearing a mask because she doesn't
want anyone to see what her face looks like now. We don't know her name either. She only refers to
herself as Dr. Felch,â Sean answered briefly.
âFelch?â Robin's gaze fell, as though he was pondering over something.
"Why? Is your relativeâs last name Felch, too?â
âNo.â Robin shook his head. âAll right, I shan't take up any more of your time. I have to return to His
Highness.â
âWait! There's something I need to talk to you about, too.â
âWhat is it?"
As the two continued talking outside, Francesca noted the splendid meal before her. âWow! These
are all my favorites,â she exclaimed with twinkling eyes.
âIf you want it, you can have it,â Danrique responded disdainfully. âGive me my medication.â
âYou'll have to eat something before drinking this. It's not good to take your medication on an
empty stomach.â Francesca placed the medication on the table. âIt's still boiling hot, so why don't
you eat first?â
Danrique was a little hungry, to begin with, so he sat at the dining table and prepared to eat.
Francesca reached for a bun, pulled her mask down, and was about to take a bite.
Suddenly, Danrique glanced up at her.
The woman swiftly turned away and shoved the entire bun in her mouth. She then her mask back in
place and chewed on her food slowly.
"Why do you keep wearing a mask? Are you afraid of people seeing what you look like?"
Danrique gazed at her suspiciously. He had a feeling that this woman had a secret that could not be
told.
