“Mm.” Francesca sipped on the coffee and praised, “This is delicious!”
Adoration flashed across William’s eyes. “Remember, since you're not used to drinking coffee regularly, you need to drink some warm water and fill your stomach before drinking coffee. Otherwise, it might be harmful to the stomach.”
“Got it.” Francesca bobbed her head. “Did you do the checkup today?”
“Yes.” Robin handed the medical reports to Francesca.
Francesca read everything and frowned. “I was right. You've been poisoned. How could they be this cruel? They want you dead!”
“I'm used to it.” William was unruffled. “I was only five when they first tried to kill me.”
“When you were five?” Francesca grew emotional. “They are nothing but beasts!”
“I was born a healthy baby but had to rely on the wheelchair to get around after that,” William revealed with a bitter smile. “I thought they would spare my life, but six months ago, they took action against me again.” “By poisoning you?” Francesca huffed. “You're no longer a threat to them. Why won't they give up?”
“I wasn't a threat to them previously.” William exhaled sharply. “I’ve kept a low profile over the years so I wouldn’t attract any trouble. Six months ago, I couldn't help but express my opinions during an important conference. The King, His Majesty, lavished praises on me, so those people started targeting me again.”
Robin added, “They used all sorts of despicable means to try to harm His Highness. Alas, he’s too weak and doesn't have anyone to rely on. We couldn't confront them, so we had to wander around and dared not head home.”
He got so emotional that his eyes turned red.
“Robin, stop talking,” William chided in displeasure.
