qFrancesca slept soundly, utterly oblivious to what had happened the previous night.
She fell into a daze when she saw Heidi and Samantha in the room by the time she woke up the next morning.
Heidi immediately explained, “Ms. Felch, someone attempted to intrude into your room last night but was discovered by Sloan in time. We are afraid something bad might happen to you, so we decided to stand guard in your room. We hope we did not interrupt your rest time.”
“That's all right...” Francesca had yet to wrap her mind around the whole incident. “Are you telling me that someone barged into my room? Who is that?”
“Judging from his silhouette, the culprit appears to be a man. We are still investigating for further details. Sloan ordered his men to chase after the culprit at once but to no avail.”
Francesca frowned upon hearing those words. Could it be that person?
Knock! Knock!
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Kerrie, leading the maid, entered to help Francesca get washed up and dressed.
As Heidi and Samantha exited the room, Francesca expressed her gratitude and reminded them to rest well.
After Francesca finished washing up, she had her breakfast on the balcony. By accident, she found a piece of candy underneath the recliner.
She picked up the candy and saw the familiar wrapping. Her face darkened instantaneously as memories from two years ago flooded her mind.
Francesca and Layla had just gotten off the plane at the airport in Tayhaven and were heading toward the exit. Suddenly, they saw a little girl crying outside the restroom.
The little girl had a cute appearance. As a result of the hysterical cry, her face flushed, and she experienced difficulty breathing, seemingly unable to catch her breath.
Francesca immediately gave the child the appropriate medication. After the little girl's condition stabilized, Francesca asked, “Hello, why are you here alone? Where are your daddy and mommy?”
“I don't have a mommy. Daddy is bringing me home, but I went to the restroom earlier and can't find him now. Boohoo...”
The little girl seemed to be slightly afraid as her petite body trembled.
“Don't be scared. I'll bring you to search for your daddy.”
Francesca was planning to bring the little girl to the airport staff. They've only taken a few steps when a man's voice suddenly rang from behind them. “Candice!”
