qWhen Francesca woke up the next morning, Danrique had already gone missing.
A sense of disappointment engulfed her as she stared at the empty sofa beside the bed in a daze.
After a long while, someone knocked on the door. Only then did she snap out of her senses.
Helen had brought the medical staff over to check on Francesca.
Lying on the bed lazily, she let them conduct all sorts of checks on her.
Inspecting the back of Francesca's head, Helen teased, “Do you still remember me?”
“Yeah. We met at Summerbank.”
Francesca had a deep impression of Helen. She thought that Helen's modern medicine skills were very impressive, and she seemed to respect traditional medicine a lot.
At the same time, she was very responsible and had a strong personality as well. This was unlike other doctors, who would act all servile because of Danrique's status.
Hence, Francesca had a good impression of her.
“If you were willing to do the surgery back then, it would have a higher success rate than now.”
Helen looked at her injury and could not help but feel pity.
“Life and death are all up to fate!” said Francesca nonchalantly, as if she did not care at all.
“In Zarain, there's a saying that your body is a blessing from your parents,” said Helen seriously. “If you don't treasure your body, how can you answer to your parents?”
“I don't have parents,” replied Francesca casually. However, she said that, Dr. Felch's image appeared in her mind.
She had been thinking about some people and things for the past two days. Now that Dr. Felch's image appeared in her mind so clearly, she remembered her fight with him when she left the mountain and could not help but feel guilty.
Dr. Felch had a gentle and benevolent personality. He rarely got angry, but when she left that day, he was raging with fury. It was his first time saying such harsh words.
He said that she did not need to come back if she left. In addition, he even warned her against saying that she was his disciple as he would find it embarrassing.
Because of what he said, she no longer contacted Dr. Felch.
Five years had passed since she left. Over those five years, she had experienced quite a lot of hardships. However, she kept reminding herself that she shall become famous and prove herself to Dr. Felch.
Unfortunately, before she could accomplish anything much, her life was already in danger.
