q“I'm not angry.” Danrique flashed a faint smile. He then pointed at Francesca and said, “I'm just afraid that she might get pissed off. You know how women are, right? I'm not so good at appeasing her.”
With that, he turned toward Francesca and asked, “Are you still mad?”
Francesca shook her head absent-mindedly because she was still dumbfounded.
“That's good. That's good.” Federico forced a smile. In order to ease the tension, he changed the topic by asking, “Are you guys hungry? Would you like to have some food?”
“That won't be necessary,” Danrique replied while putting his cup aside. While acting as if he was leaving, he said, “I would like to visit William.”
“Huh?” Federico was stumped. What is he up to now?
“Not only is he a good friend of mine, but he's also a business partner of Lindberg Corporation. Since I've come to Danontand, how could I not visit him? By the way, Your Majesty, I heard he has fallen sick. Is it serious?” Danrique asked with a straight face.
“It's just an old illness.” Federico smiled. “Since it's already so late and Francesca is injured, perhaps you all shouldn't go to the hospital. Why don't you stay in the palace? I can get someone to bring him here.”
“That sounds good.” Danrique nodded immediately.
Federico gestured at Silas, who immediately obliged his king's instructions. Before Silas left, he even shot Francesca a grateful look.
Meanwhile, Francesca was looking at Danrique gratefully. He knew what was on my mind. Before I even said it, he had already done me the favor.

Federico smiled and asked, “Should we have some food now?”
“Sure. She's famished.” Danrique held Francesca caringly and led her into the banquet hall.
Federico was right behind them. He threw a vicious glance at Danrique before putting on a warm smile.
While following from behind, Sean and Gordon glanced at each other and snickered silently.
The moment Monica saw Francesca, she quickly went up to Francesca with an agitated look on her face.
Seeing that, Francesca sent her an “okay” sign. Right away, Monica knew what she meant. Moments prior, she had seen Silas leaving hastily while instructing some men to go to the hospital. She figured the men were going to fetch William, and Francesca had just confirmed her speculation.
Monica was so touched that tears welled up in her eyes. She was extremely grateful to Francesca.
The group took their seats in the banquet hall and started eating.
As Federico was chatting with Danrique, Francesca hung her head low and ate. At that moment, mixed feelings were stirring within her.
Once they were done with the meal, a subordinate came in from outside and informed everyone about William's arrival.
Francesca hurriedly turned toward the voice and saw Silas walking in with a group of men. Behind them, a medical staff was pushing a wheelchair into the hall. The skinny man in the wheelchair was none other than William.
Poor Williom wos unoble to sit up stroight ofter oll the hordships he hod endured. When he wos wheeled in, his entire body wos curled up.
Although he wonted to sit up stroight to greet Donrique ond Froncesco in on elegont posture, his body simply couldn't do so.
