Monica was stunned by those words. It took her some time to return to her senses. “You're going alone?”
Francesca felt utterly helpless. “Yes. You may not know Danrique that well, but no one can make him change his mind. Not even I. Besides, he's always suspected that there's something going on between William and me. Danrique's extremely bothered by it, so there's no way he'll help William. But you're right. William is in terrible danger. I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left if I don't take any action. So, I've decided to return to Danontand tomorrow and come up with a plan to rescue William. By the way, did you get any information from your people? Send them to me.”
Monica said hurriedly, “I'll go with you. I have all the information here. In fact, I have more. Besides, two is better than one.”
“But your leg is injured. There's no use in you going back. On the contrary, I'll even have to take care of you. Why don't you just stay here and recuperate? The bodyguards won't hurt you as long as you don't mess with Danrique.”
“No way. I have to go back with you. Don't worry; I won't be a burden to you. I might be injured, but I can at least provide you with information. Besides, my partner is still in Danontand, and I have some connections who will surely be of help.”
“All right, then. Pack your things. We're leaving in a while.” Francesca got up to look for her travel documents.
“Will Mr. Lindberg let you go?” Monica sounded a little worried.
“I'm free to go wherever I want. He can't stop me!” Francesca declared.
“Really?”
A voice suddenly came from behind her.
Francesca jumped in shock. By the time she turned around, Danrique was already standing in the room, staring at her with a sharp gaze under the dim lights.
He looked like a raging beast.
“Tell me. What am I to you?” he hissed.
“I...” Francesca was stumped by the question. She did not understand why he was asking such a question at a time like that.
“Answer me!”
Danrique was so furious that he pinched her chin harder, causing her pain.
“Let me go. It hurts...” Francesca shoved him away angrily.
Danrique gritted his teeth. “Oh, so you know what pain feels like? Remember how you wanted to stay at S Nation because of the orphanage, Anthony, and even the two elders back then? Sure, I can understand all that, but you and I are officially dating each other now. Yet, you still want to fly to Danontand to save William. What exactly am I to you? You prioritize all those nonsensical people, but what about me? What am I to you?”
