qFrancesca got into a car among William's convoy, and Gordon escorted them to the airport.
After two days of receiving treatment, William finally regained consciousness. He was still weak, but he was in a good mood as Francesca was keeping him company. Thus, his condition was improving steadily.
Before the convoy left, Danrique came to bid goodbye to them. William was gazing at Francesca gently, and Francesca was wiping his sweat off using a warm towel. She paid no heed to his gentle gaze.
They seem intimate...
“Your Highness, Mr. Lindberg is here,” Robin reported in a low voice.
William snapped back to reality and turned to look out of the window. “Are you leaving with us?”
“You should leave without me.”
After glancing at Francesca, Danrique gave some orders to Gordon in a soft voice before turning to leave.
“Take care,” William said feebly.
Danrique waved without bothering to turn.
As the engines roared to life, Danrique thought, I should feel relaxed after sending that nemesis off. But why do I feel somewhat disappointed? No, this must be an illusion.
“Mr. Lindberg,” Sean called out and opened the door to the car.
Danrique got into his car. This time, he occupied the driver's seat.
He would be distracting Pastor's men so William and the rest could reach the airport safely.
Sean took the passenger's seat while Sloan and two other subordinates sat behind them. They were all armed, prepared to face their enemies.
With the three men in tow, Danrique drove in the opposite direction.
There were ten cars tailing William's convoy stealthily to protect them.
Through the window, Francesca spotted a silver glint disappearing from sight. She knew Danrique and the rest had also departed.
Her forehead creased as indescribable emotions welled up in her heart.
After spending some time with Danrique, she grew to realize that his cool demeanor masked his kind heart underneath.
Previously, when they ran into Mafia's trap, he told Sean and Sloan to head down the mountain to send a signal and get help, but in fact, his plan was to stay behind and get rid of those men.
