Chapter 1807
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
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. Itâs 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
âHow is it my fault?â argued Sean, feeling slightly aggrieved. âSheâs not even afraid of Mr. Lindberg himself. What makes you think I have any say?â
âSpeaking of whichâ¦â Gordonâs frown deepened. âMr. Lindberg couldnât have fallen for her, could he? Otherwise, why would he be so tolerant of her?â
âI think itâs a bit off as wellâ¦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 naïveâ¦â Gordon could not help but feel worried for Danrique. âThis is really dangerous. He could easily be fooled. Once heâs recovered, we must bring him out to experience the cruel reality of this worldâ¦â
âLetâs 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, sheâ¦â
âAlright, 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.
âStay calm,â said Sean, to himself as much as it was to Gordon. âIâll go in and ask about his condition again after half an hour,â reassured Sean.
âFineâ¦â
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 Seanâs 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?â
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, Gordonâs rage suddenly spiked. Aware of Gordonâs anger, Sean quickly pulled the former away.
âHis fever has dropped.â
âReally? Thatâs good⦠but, that womanâ¦â
âForget about it. Just turn a blind eye.â
âButâ¦â
âPatience. Weâll 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 facesâ¦
