Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary) novel Chapter 2104

Even though Robin didn't comprehend the meaning behind William's words, he knew that they had no choice but to take the risk.

Knock! Knock!

Right then, there came a knock on the door. A subordinate came in and reported, “Your Highness, Mr. Faulkner has arrived.”

“Come in.” William and Robin exchanged glances.

The subordinate opened the door, and Silas strode into the room.

After bowing to William, he said straightforwardly, “Your Highness, His Majesty has instructed me to take you and Dr. Felch to the palace.”

The words triggered a drastic change in Robin's expression, but William—who managed to remain calm—replied with a faint smile, “I'm ready to go at any time upon His Majesty's summons. As for Francesca, let me talk to—”

Halfway through his reply, Francesca swung the door opened and entered. She was dressed in a white coat and holding a medical kit in her hand.

Surprised by the sight of Silas, she turned toward William.

“Francesca, let me introduce you.” After briefly introducing one to the other, William added, “Francesca, His Majesty has sent Silas to take us to the palace.”

“Isn't he coming over tomorrow?” Francesca asked directly. “Why are we going over now?”

“About that—”

“Dr. Felch.” William was about to explain when Silas stepped forward. “His Majesty has learned of your impressive medical skills and is filled with admiration. He would like to invite you to the palace and he hopes that you'll grant him the honor.”

As one of the king's close aides, Silas had shown Francesca great respect by the graciousness he had displayed.

Unfortunately, it failed to work on her. “I don't like to be a guest. If His Majesty has any questions, he can come here himself and ask them.”

“Francesca...”

“It's fine if you don't want to go. It has nothing to do with you anyway.” William was always gentle with Francesca. “I already feel bad for getting you involved. Whatever it is, I'll deal with it myself. I don't want to place any burden on you.”

“But how are you going to explain yourself at the palace?” Francesca was concerned about him.

“It's no big deal. I'll take care of it.” William patted her on the shoulder. “All right, I'll be off now. I don't want to keep Silas waiting. Anyway, don't push yourself today. Once you have examined Robin, you should get some rest.”

“Okay.” Francesca nodded before watching William leave.

Robin let out a sorrowful sigh. “I thought we could turn things around smoothly, but it seems we are finished.”

“What do you mean by finished?” Francesca asked curiously.

“It's my fault. It's all my fault,” Robin continued to blame himself. “I shouldn't have appealed to His Majesty and revealed your identity. More importantly, I shouldn'thave exposed Mr. Lindberg and your relationship.
