Chapter 2232

“Maybe she didn't want the crowd in the hall to overhear her talking earlier,” Francesca postulated. “Especially when Monica was around. It seems that the first lady doesn't quite like Monica.”

Layla weighed up Francesca's reasoning and instantly acknowledged it, for the former, too, wasn't that fond of Monica herself. From her perspective, Monica had always been acting shady, seemingly shrewd and cunning to the core.

Yet, she knew very well that Monica was merely working for William. Even if William had been harboring any sort of ulterior motive, he would still have to take Francesca's side for the time being.

After all, both Francesca and Danrique could offer him the protection that he needed.

“Danrique has already been missing for so long. I'm really worried,” uttered Francesca with concern. “I'm not going to give up any chance, so even if it were a trap, I'd still go check it out.”

“All right, then. I'll go with you,” said Layla as she held Francesca's hand.

The latter shook her head. “No. I can handle it alone. You guard the house. Considering that we don't have as many bodyguards with us, I'm afraid those two sc*mbags might send someone to steal the seal.”

“True enough.” Layla bobbed her head upon hearing that. “Sloan and the rest won't be able to manage on their own. And if those two were to really come after the seal, it'd be a disaster...”

“But with you around, there's nothing more for me to worry about.”

Just when Francesca was speaking, a call came through. It was William, requesting her presence. She then ordered someone to fetch her the medical kit and went on her way.

For the past few days, Francesca had been busy dealing with the horde of her enemies while having all her thoughts fixated on Danrique. She was understandably moody and preoccupied with troubles, thus failing to treat William wholeheartedly.

During the visit on that very night, she gave William a check-up right away. Given that William had been on his medication, his injuries weren't affected, but at the same time, there weren't any improvements either.

Thus, Francesca performed the treatment and even prescribed him a new course of medicine.

Looking at Francesca's haggard appearance, William knew he had to offer some kind of comfort. “Don't worry, Francesca. L will be fine...”

“Everyone keeps telling me that, but how can I not worry when he has gone completely radio silent, to the point where not even Gordon can locate him?” The worried look on Francesca's face didn't abate.

“Actually, have you ever thought about—”

William's voice trailed off just when words began to leap out of his mouth.
