Chapter 1807 Half The Owner
One of the maids replied with a yes subconsciously. Taken aback by her own reflex, the maid toss a
timid look at Sean.
With a gesture from Sean, the maids quickly prepared everything and brought in some warm water
according to Francesca wishes. They then left with a quick bow.
While the maids busied themselves, Gordon frowned before leaving silently for the living room and
took a seat there.
Sean waited till the maids left to have a private word with Francesca. Before long, he too went into
the living room to wait.
Unable to help himself, Gordon made a snide remark. âAt this rate, she might as well be half the
owner of this place.â
Sean cleared his throat a little in response. âShe definitely displays such a manner. It's no wonder
the maids and medical staff are terrified of her.â
âIn other words, sheâs been spoiled.â Gordon shook his head, displeased. âYou tolerate her too
much.â
"How is it my fault?â argued Sean, feeling slightly aggrieved. âShe's not even afraid of Mr. Lindberg
himself. What makes you think I have any say?"
"Speaking of which...â Gordon's frown deepened. âMr. Lindberg couldnât have fallen for her, could
he? Otherwise, why would he be so tolerant of her?â
âI think it's a bit off as well...â Sean turned his gaze upward as he thought out loud. âMr. Lindberg
truly did show her special patience. Even though heâs angry, he would always calm down at the
most important moment.â
âWhen it comes to romantic relationships, Mr. Lindberg is way too naive...â Gordon could not help
but feel worried for Danrique. âThis is really dangerous. He could easily be fooled. Once he's
recovered, we must bring him out to experience the cruel reality of this world..."
âLet's continue this conversation only after heâs recovered.â
Throughout the entire time, Sean stood next to the curtains and kept his neck stretched as he tried
to peek inside the room.
After Francesca had took Danriqueâs temperature and tuck him in, she took a seat on the rug next to
the bed and played âAngry Birdsâ on an iPad.
Even though she had lowered the volume, it could still be heard.
Sean sighed in exasperation. There they were, worrying their heads off while the doctor could not
even be bothered.
âShe, she...â
"Alright, alright.â
Just as Gordon was about to lose his temper at Francesca, Sean quickly interfered. âJust let her play.
He had taken his medications and the injection. It is probably safe to assume that his condition is
stable for now.â
âThis is preposterous!â Gordon was on the edge of exploding in fury.
"Stay calm,â said Sean, to himself as much as it was to Gordon. âI'll go in and ask about his condition
again after half an hour,â reassured Sean.
"Fine..."
Both Sean and Gordon paced around the living room restlessly in subdued anxiousness.
After what felt like forever, half an hour finally passed. Gordon immediately urged Sean to inquire
about the situation.
However, the sight that awaited him upon entering the room left him at a loss for words.
Francesca had gotten tired from gaming and had fallen asleep leaning against the bed.
Perhaps because she was cold, she had pulled a part of Danriqueâs blanket over herself as well.
Meanwhile, Danriqueâs arm dangled from the bed, coincidentally brushing her cheek.
The atmosphere surrounding the two seemed a little romantic.
Annoyance coursed through Sean's veins. He wanted to scold Francesca for not being professional,
but just as he was about to speak, he swallowed his words.
He did not want to wake Danrique.
With a sigh, Sean made his way to the bedside and used a digital thermometer to take Danriqueâs
temperature. Upon noticing Danriqueâs fever dropped, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.
âHow is it?"
Impatient, Gordon went inside to ask.
âShh!â Sean hushed, reminding Gordon to keep his voice low.
At the sight of Francesca sleeping by the bedside, Gordon's rage suddenly spiked. Aware of
Gordon's anger, Sean quickly pulled the former away.
"His fever has dropped.â
âReally? That's good... but, that woman...â
"Forget about it. Just turn a blind eye.â
âBut...â
âPatience. We'll discuss about everything else after Mr. Lindberg recovers.â
âFine.â Gordon finally relented.
Meanwhile, Francesca was dreaming. It was once again regarding a beaming young woman with a
young man whose face was blurred.
That time, the two of them were holding hands and running in a field.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, its warm gentle rays reflected the lucky and joyful smiles on
their faces..
