qChrono wasn't appreciative of Francesca's kindness. Instead, he stared at her grimly while issuing a threat. “Candice is lonely in heaven. Since she likes you so much, I will make sure to send you to heaven to keep her company when I get out of jail!”
Francesca ignored his threat, for he had been sentenced to life imprisonment.
However, Candice's death dealt her a huge blow. She even began questioning her own medical skills. Thus, she spent the following two years closed off and stopped practicing medicine.
It wasn't until Prince William found her, repeatedly asked to meet her, and invited her out, coupled with the fact that the foundation was short of funds and the orphanage needed a huge sum of money, that she left for Danontand.
She thought that would be the end of things, so she didn't foresee Chrono getting out of jail so soon and tracking her down.
“Ms. Felch! Ms. Felch! Ms. Felch!”
Kerrie's voice interrupted Francesca's thoughts, causing the latter to snap back to reality. As she tightened her grip around the piece of candy, she raised her head to look at Kerrie. “What is it?”
“You seem pale. Are you okay?”
Kerrie looked at her with concern.

After that, Francesca stared at the hearty breakfast but didn't have the appetite to enjoy it. The sea breeze blew past as she was leaning on the recliner. While staring at the candy, she was reminded of Candice, who had passed away. The emotions she felt were indescribably complicated.
She didn't even notice when her phone on the nightstand was vibrating.
Throughout the day, Francesca locked herself in the room, not feeling like going anywhere. She slept after eating, without even checking her phone.
Danrique had called her twice, to neither of which she responded, nor did she reply to his texts.
He was deeply affected by her actions, lacking the drive to do anything, nor did he have the appetite to stomach anything.
At night, he called Sloan after finishing all of his tasks.
Sloan was taken aback upon receiving his call, nearly dropping his phone before he answered the call in a panic. “Hello, Mr. Lindberg!”
“What's Francesca doing?” Danrique inquired directly.
“Um, she's...”
