Francesca knew that it was too late. Unless she and Chrono came to a mutual understanding, or either one of them died, there was no way to end his vengeance.
It was either that or the children in the orphanage would be living in danger...
Besides that, Layla and Lincoln would also be affected.
Thus, she had to put on a brave front right now.
Thinking of all that, Francesca went over to the car.
“You really aren't afraid of death, are you?”
Chrono took a glance at her. He started his car and started moving forward.
“I don't want to die, and I can't let you hurt those children.” Francesca was extremely calm. “If you want to vent your anger, take it out on me. Don't go after them.”
“Haha. You really are a saint.” Chrono laughed. “I'm curious. Why do you want to get involved with the orphanage?”
“Because I was an orphan myself. I want to do something for those children who don't have parents,” Francesca answered simply. “That's it.”
“Those words sound familiar.” Chrono laughed mockingly. “My adoptive father once said that to us too. However, he ended up training all of us into killers to do his bidding! None of us will ever escape him for the rest of our lives...”
Hearing that, Francesca's heart couldn't help but shudder. She never realized that Chrono was forced to become a killer. He wanted to retire with Candice but the organization went after him.
“Of all the orphanages I've seen, none of them were truly doing good,” Chrono said flatly. “They were either raising criminals or selling organs...”
“Mine aren't.” Francesca felt defensive.
