Chapter 2016 Becoming Successful
When Francesca heard the car outside, she could not help but turn to look. The woman had to slowly move her entire body since she could not turn her neck because of the severe injury.
Hence, she missed Danrique’s car. The vehicle was already gone when she finally managed to turn around.
At that point, Francesca was filled with utter regret because she did not get to kiss the man goodbye or even hug him. The two had parted without a proper farewell.
Why did I have to be so proud? It’s too late for me to regret it now. Frances felt terrible when she thought about the way she acted.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Felch. Mr. Lindberg will be back very soon.” Having served Francesca for so long, Kerrie could immediately tell what was going through the woman’s mind.
“I don’t care when he’ll be back. I’m better off without him anyway.” Francesca continued with her pretense.
“Aren’t you going to miss Mr. Lindberg?” inquired Kerrie with a smile.
“Of course not!” Instead of eating her oatmeal, Francesca stirred it so much that she nearly spilled all of it.
“Okay, let’s forget about him and focus on your recovery,” suggested Kerrie with another smile. “You should try this soup, Ms. Felch. It’s delicious!”
“Sure.”
In the following days, Francesca wanted to recuperate in peace, so she came up with an excuse to send Helen and the others away while promising to keep paying them as usual.
Helen was a respectable physician. Even though she loved money, she would not accept it for doing nothing.
Hence, the woman told Gordon that she only needed to be paid for the services rendered. No more, no less.
Having confirmed Francesca was okay with that, Gordon paid Helen her due and sent her and the others to the airport.
After the medical team left, Francesca then had people ready the clinic and some medicinal herbs for her because she wished to treat herself.
