Chapter 1830 The Future
"Why?" Francesca was flustered. âIt's just a necklace. It isn't even expensive.â
âYou're noisy,â Danrique said curtly. He was too tired to continue arguing with her. âGet out now.â
"Hey!" Francesca huffed.
Right then, Sean knocked on the door and came in to report to Danrique. He saw Francesca inside
and his employer wearing just a pair of pants, his shirt nowhere in sight. Utterly rattled, he spun on
his heels to flee the scene.
"Come back!â Danrique demanded.
âYes.â Sean came to a halt and turned over cautiously. He stood rooted to the spot as awkwardness
engulfed his entire being.
âPay her the medical fee,â Danrique ordered
âYes.â Sean instantly offered the check to Francesca. âI've prepared the check for you. Here you go.â
Francesca accepted the check. The sight of the amount made her beam in delight. âBesides this,
what about the reward I should get after saving you?â she inquired.
Hmm, what excuse should I conjure to get the necklace back?
âI...â Sean shifted his gaze to Danrique.
âI donât owe you one,â Danrique said in exasperation. âIf it wasn't for you, William wouldn't have
gotten shot, and things wouldn't be this complicated. How dare you ask for a reward?â
"What do you mean?â Francesca was confused. âAre you being ungrateful?â
âThe snake bit Pastor, and he has one foot in the grave. As he is in possession of important
information, the force behind him is doing their best to capture Mr. Lindberg and Prince William,â
Sean explained.
âIs that even my fault?â Francesca was dumbfounded. âIf I didn't take action, you would've been
controlled by Pastor. Even if you had a plan and killed all the assassins out there, his men were
inside the room...â
âMr. Lindberg could take care of those minor figures easily,â Sean revealed with a grin. âEven if you
didn't take action, we were certain of our win!"
âDo you mean I made things worse?â
Comprehension dawned on Francesca. If I didn't butt in, everything will still be under Danriqueâs
control. He would've cowered Pastor into submission without hurting the man. That way, the force
behind Pastor would show themselves. After getting bitten, Pastor is on the brink of death. Things
had gotten out of control.
Sean let out a cough. He didnât dare to offend Francesca and had to be tactful. âAnyway, you were
kind enough to offer help.â
"Wait a minute.â Something occurred to Francesca. âThe force behind Pastor is going after you to
get the antidote to save him. Will you hand me to them when we land in danger?â
âYou're thinking too much,â Danrique hissed in displeasure. âIf I have a dog, I won't leave it behind!â
âGreat.â Francesca heaved a sigh of relief before belatedly realizing the underlying meaning of his
words. âYou're the dog!â she retorted.
âNo matter what, Prince William was dragged into the mess because of Mr. Lindberg. We need to
send him home to Danontand safely.â
Sean gave another check to Francesca.
âThanks for your help. Mr. Lindbergâs poison had been expelled, and his wound is recovering well.
Please take good care of Prince William and make sure he recovers before you leave. This is your
reward for treating him.â
âWhat do you mean?â Francesca took the check and asked uneasily, âIs this goodbye for us?â
âSee you never!" Danrique announced before striding into the bathroom.
A wave of fury crashed through Francesca. Is he that eager to get rid of me? See me never?
âDr. Felch, we're running out of time. Let's not delay any further, shall we? I'll see you out,â Sean
urged and gestured for her to leave.
A deep line appeared between Francescaâs brows as she gazed at the bathroom. Inwardly, she felt
really agitated. In ordinary circumstances, she would've kicked the door to the bathroom open to
get the necklace from him.
However, after getting the necklace, she wouldn't be able to escape.
As Pastor's men were searching for them, she was most probably their target too. If I were to leave
alone, I'll be in danger. Forget it. The odds are against me, and a wise man knows when to back
down. There will be more chances for me to get it back in the future.
