qFrancesca raised her head and looked at his handsome features. Her gaze shifted to his injured arm once more, and she couldn't help but feel a little touched.
At that moment, she suddenly recalled how he had previously disregarded his own safety and well-being just to save her.
Furthermore, Kerrie had been continuously telling her about what had gone on in the outside world while she was still in a comatose state.
From the day she had her surgery til that day, he had never left her side for even a single moment. Through it all, he stayed next to her the entire time and ceaselessly cared for her.
That was especially touching for Francesca, especially since she knew he was the kind of man who lorded over everyone else and always had others at his beck and call to do his bidding. The fact that he had gone on to learn how to care for her spoke volumes about the man. Not only did he learn how to wipe down her arms and face, but he had also diligently fed her her medication and even picked up snippets of medical knowledge so he could care for her better in the future.
Aside from that, Danrique had also personally escorted Dr. Felch when the latter was out and about. That was because Francesca had once mentioned that he needed to treat Dr. Felch with the utmost respect fitting for someone of his stature.
Item by item, Kerrie slowly told Francesca all these in detail to keep her up to date on the happenings while she had been dead to the world.
As Francesca took all the information in, she couldn't help but feel touched by Danrique and how he had quietly expended an immense amount of effort in caring for her and looking out for her.
Through his actions, she could truly pick up on the depth and sincerity of the affection he had for her.
That said, she was still confused by a single point. She wondered if Danrique would find out about her relationship with Dr. Felch since he had learned that Dr. Felch's dog was named Cece. Did Dr. Felch not recognize me?
At that thought, Francesca couldn't help but feel a tinge of unease creep over her.
“What are you thinking about?” asked Danrique suddenly in his coarse and low voice.
She couldn't stop herself and ultimately decided to reveal the truth. “Actually, I'm Dr. Felch's apprentice. When I was about three years old, he rescued me from the wilderness where I had been living amongst a pack of wolves. Since then, he had raised me up and imparted his medical knowledge to me. Aside from that, he also taught me how I should behave and carry myself as a decent human being. That's why he's more than just a mentor to me, but also my father.”
“Yes, I know that. You are indebted to him!” said Danrique as he shut his eyes and seemed to be able to sense her emotions.
She asked lightly, “Did he recognize me?”
“Did you hope for that to happen?” he countered as he opened his eyes and looked at her gently once more.
