Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 2269

Chapter 2269 Starving

Layla was about to fall asleep when she heard the roar of the car engine outside. She quickly got out of bed and walked to the window to check. Upon realizing it was Gordon’s convoy, she immediately changed her clothes and went downstairs.

The moment Sloan and the others saw Gordon return, they thought Danrique was back as well and went out to greet them excitedly.

However, they could see only Gordon and a group of men alighted from the car. Seeing no sign of Danrique in the vehicle, Sloan and the others promptly asked about the former’s condition. “Don’t worry. Mr. Lindberg is still alive,” Gordon simply gave a short reply.

“This is great!” Everyone immediately heaved a sigh of relief, thinking they would still have hope as long as Danrique was still alive.

“Let’s talk inside.” With that, Gordon hurriedly went inside and saw Layla approaching him. After greeting her, he went to Sloan and asked about the actual situation.

Sloan told him everything that had happened during that period of time. Layla, too, added a few things. Only then she asked, “Why didn’t Danrique come back? Is he injured? Does he know about Francesca’s pregnancy?”

“Indeed, Mr. Lindberg is seriously injured. He was still unconscious when I left. I’ve already told Sean about Ms. Felch’s pregnancy. He will probably inform Mr. Lindberg about it,” Gordon said in a low voice.

“So, he has been unconscious all this while. No wonder…” Realization dawned on Layla. “He would have returned long ago if he knew such a serious matter happened.”

“They had been attacked half a month ago. Mr. Lindberg could have escaped safely, but he was worried about Sean and the others and went back to save them. That was how he got injured.”
