Chapter 1794
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
Chapter 1794 Head Out âBut Mr. Lindberg, youâve had a fever all night, and you look really pale right now. How about we take care of this another time?â
âHeâs right, Sir. You should get some rest for now â â
âSilence!â
Francesca heard Danrique chiding Sean and Gordon as soon as she entered.
The maids and nurses stood nearby with their heads low, not daring to utter a word.
âHelp me get dressed,â ordered Danrique as he attempted to leave his bed.
The nurses quickly helped him down while the maids brought his clothes over.
Sean and Gordon were extremely worried, but none of them dared defy him.
âWhere are you going?â Only Francesca had the courage to speak, and she did it boldly. âYou just had surgery and suffered a fever last night, and now youâre heading out? I canât guarantee you wonât get an infection from your wound.â
Danrique turned to her with a darkened gaze. âWhat makes you think you can talk to me like that?â he asked frostily.
âI know youâre a somebody. But Iâm a doctor, and I treat all patients equally!â Francesca refuted with her head held high.
Danrique glared at her questioningly, his brows furrowing. Youâre saying Iâm no different from all your other patients?
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Feeling oppressed, Francesca looked away. âItâs true that youâre taking a huge risk by going out in this state. Is there really anything more important than your own life?â
Ignoring her, Danrique turned around and lifted his arms so the nurses could help him get dressed. âTake her with us. Donât forget the medical kit,â he ordered Sean.
âYes, Mr. Lindberg.â Sean nodded immediately before turning to Francesca. âYou should go get ready, Dr. Felch.â
Francesca was at loss for words. She knew she wasnât going to have it easy, considering he was paying her a hundred million.
They left without even having lunch.
Taking various factors into consideration â such as her patient possibly having another fever or other injuries â
Francesca brought along a bunch of medication and tools, as well as her pouch of needles.
This time, they used a Rolls-Royce limousine to cater to Danriqueâs injury.
Sean, Francesca, and Kerrie sat inside the vehicle with Danrique.
Despite how grave his injury was, Danrique looked rather well as he leaned against the sofa to read a document.
Meanwhile, Francesca began to doze off.
Sean couldnât resist poking fun at her. âDr. Felch, is it me, or are you always falling asleep whenever youâre not working?â
âItâs important to restâ¦â Feeling uncomfortable while remaining seated upright, the woman lay herself down as she spoke in a daze. âIâm going to take a nap. Donât talk to me unless itâs urgent.â
With that, she quickly fell into a slumber and even began to snore a little.
Sean couldnât help but chuckle. âWhat a simple lady. Thereâs no way Iâd believe sheâs actually up to something â
unless sheâs that good at acting.â
Danrique merely glanced at her before continuing to read his document.
Soon, a wave of pain took over him, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Sean immediately noticed that. âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Lindberg? Dr. Felch! Wake up!â
Francesca jolted up in annoyance. âWhat is it now?â
âMr. Lindbergâs not well. Come take a look at him.â
âWell, thatâs no surprise. Look at how serious that injury is.â
After checking on Danrique, Francesca snatched his document away. âStop looking at these. You need to rest.â
âHow dare you!â Danrique frowned.
âThereâs no use glaring at me like that. You have to lie down now, or youâll get another fever.â
While speaking, the woman took a bottle of herbal concoction that she had long prepared out of the medical kit.
âDrink this.â
