“Mr. Lindberg, your fever has subsided. When you recover completely, we can kick her out,” Gordon assured him carefully.
“I've sent someone to contact that elderly doctor. He'll do his best to bring the good doctor here as soon as possible. We can ask that doctor to treat you using acupuncture and feed you your medicine while Dr. Felch watches from aside,” Sean reported.
He had already started making the arrangements.
“Get out,” Danrique ordered in
irritation.
“But—” Gordon was about to protest when Sean stopped him. “All right. We shall excuse ourselves now.”
After shutting the door behind them, Gordon asked in a low voice, “What was that? We can't leave Mr. Lindberg alone in his room. What if he gets a fever again?”
“If Mr. Lindberg feels unwell, he’ll summon us,” came Sean's answer. “He wants to be alone now, so let's not disturb him.”
“All right.” Gordon nodded. “Our priority is to find that girl. After finding her, Mr. Lindberg will return to Erihal.”
“That's right. After today's events, Pastor won't give up. He might take action soon, so we need to leave as soon as possible.”
“Mm. I'll go dig for more clues regarding the girl.”
“Sure.”
Gordon was about to leave when his phone rang. It was a call from Robin. “Gordon, we've been ambushed by Pastor's men.” “Where are you?” “I've sent you the address. Please send backup.”
“I'll be there right away.”
Gordon promptly gathered his men to help them out.
Sean reminded him, “Bring more men and be careful. Don't expose our whereabouts.”
“I know.” Gordon left in a haste.
It began to pour outside.
Strangely, Sean felt uneasy. I wish Mr. Lindberg can leave M Nation soon and return to Erihal. Otherwise, his presence is inevitably going to spark a bloodbath.
Francesca was sleeping so soundly that she didn't realize her phone was vibrating. Anthony gave her a few calls, but she didn't answer them.
The next morning, Francesca was woken up rudely by someone knocking on her door urgently. “Dr.
Felch? Dr. Felch, wake up!”
