q“Mr. Lindberg had Gordon stay here to protect the orphanage and arranged for Kerrie to follow Ms. Felch. It might sound like he's taking care of her, but he's actually monitoring her.”
William didn't know how to reply to Robin's speculation.
“Kerrie would babble nonstop about what a lovely relationship Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Felch shared every time she came over. She would also bring up the pair's promise to meet up in October for their wedding. She was obviously telling those to us on purpose.”
“She is Danrique's subordinate, so treat her politely,” William ordered.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Robin didn't dare to comment any further.
“October...” William glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. “There are two more months left!”
“Yeah, it's still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen within these two months.” Robin added, “I heard the daughter of Erihal's president had divorced recently and arrived at Xendale a few days ago. Since she had always admired Mr. Lindberg, who knows if something will happen—”
“Danrique isn't that kind of person.” Robin's biased remark didn't trigger William to lose his sense. Instead, William responded logically, “He's not a man who changes his mind easily about the decision he makes.”
“That's true.”
“Ask Francesca. How long will my treatment be on halt? If it's too long, we can make a trip back to Danontand first,” William demanded.
“Yes, Your Highness. I'll make a call to Ms. Felch immediately.” Robin dialed Francesca's number and soon got a reply. “Ms. Felch said the soonest would be a week. She wasn't sure about the latest.”
“Then, let's head back to sort out some affairs first.” William ordered, “Make the arrangements now.”
“But the acupuncture session—”
“Acupuncture is easy. I had the condition for so long that I knew a bit about it myself.” William continued impassively, “Ask Kerrie to leave her bag of needles here. We'll bring that along with the medicine Francesca prescribed to me.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
After Robin made all the arrangements, he had someone send Kerrie back, then left for the airport.
When Kerrie reached home, she mumbled, “Strange. How could they leave just like that? Was it because they don't want me to help His Highness with acupuncture?”
“What are you mumbling about?”
