qWhen that thought crossed Francesca's mind, she shuddered. No! I can't make that mistake right now! I have already made up my mind to never marry, never give birth to a child, and never be bound to anyone by a vow. I don't want to be kept in this castle, this luxurious cage. That's why I mustn't be moved by Danrique. I need to leave as soon as possible.
She took in a deep breath and kept reminding herself to find an opportunity to escape.
Danrique had already left for his company when she woke up.
Upon washing herself and finishing her breakfast, a doctor came to check her wound and change her medicine.
After resting for a few more days, her wounds had more or less recovered. The doctors were surprised by how quickly her wound healed.
She also felt that her injury recovered really quickly. However, the metal pieces in her brain were still lodged in there, which was a problem.
“Are you feeling discomfort anywhere else, Ms. Cece? Mr. Lindberg asked me to give you a full-body examination. If there are other problems, we can take care of them together,” Killian asked politely.
“No,” Francesca immediately replied. “I'm feeling quite well. I don't need a check-up.”
“Your wound may be healing, but you aren't looking any better. I'm afraid there are still issues affecting your health. It will be for the best if you go through the examination and receive early treatment—”
“I said I don't need it.” She cut him off. “I know my own body.”
“Very well.” Killian lowered his head.
She was a little ticked off. Has Danrique started to suspect my identity? Is that why he intentionally sent this doctor to test me?
It was then Norah walked in with a smile. “Mr. Lindberg is taking you to a circus later, Ms. Cece. You should get prepared. You'll be leaving in an hour.”
“A circus?” Francesca was excited. “Where?”
“In Xendale Theater.” Norah laughed. “It's where the biggest performances are held.”
“Is the theater in the middle of the city?” Francesca asked.
