“Also, I would like to know the details about you and Danrique. Does he really love you? Is he really

serious about marrying you?”

Francesca didn't feel like continuing this conversation. “I guess so... But now’s not the time to talk about

this. If there’s a chance, I would like to talk to Chrono on the phone. I still think Candice's condition was

a little weird

Layla cut her short immediately. “Don't be silly, Francesca. That person is crazy. There’s something

wrong with his mind, and you can’t talk sense into a crazy person. Don’t try to save someone who is

mentally ill. Some diseases are just incurable, and you have to learn to accept that. No matter how

powerful you think you are, there are just some things you can't do. No one is almighty enough to solve

everything.”

“I know you're right, but Candice's death has left me trauma.” Francesca sighed.

“Francesca—”

“All right, Ms. Layla. I'm just thinking out loud here. I know my limits, so you don't have to worry about

me. I'll be fine because so many people are protecting me,” said Francesca, changing the subject.

“Okay then. Stay safe. Call me every day to let me know you’re fine.” Layla dropped the topic, knowing

what she said wouldn't make any difference.

“Got it.”

After ending the call, Francesca looked at the dark sky outside and wondered if Chrono would come

again that night, or if he would contact her through some special way.

If he would, she would still like to have a proper chat with him.

Right then, Heidi and Samantha knocked on the door and entered. After inspecting the place to ensure

Francesca's safety, they planned to stand guard in the room like how they did the previous night, but

Francesca sent them away.

The duo was concerned, but they respected Francesca's decision. In the end, they chose not to disturb

her and stood guard outside the room.

Francesca switched off the main lights on purpose and left the wall lamp on as she waited for Chrono

to contact her.

As expected, her phone received a call from an unknown number soon after that. She glanced outside

and answered the call. “Hello?”

“I have to give it to you for having the Lindberg family to back you up.”

Chrono was fluent in speaking Ustranasion, and his voice was hoarse and deep, bringing with it a tinge

of chillness.

“You came last night. Are you thinking of taking revenge on me?” asked Francesca without beating

around the bush.

“You have quite the self-awareness. Don't think you're safe under the Lindberg family's protection. Just

you wait. I'll come at you soon,” uttered Chrono ferociously.

“There's something I want to ask you about.” Francesca tried talking sense into the man.

“Yes?” Chrono was confused.

“Had Candice undergone a heart surgery before?” Francesca queried.

“What are you talking about?” At the mention of Candice's name, Chrono became agitated.

“Candice’s main cause of death was the trigger of her heart problem coupled with excessive loss of

blood. When she was shot, the bullet didn't hit her vital organs. She died because

“I just want to make sure—”

“Make sure about what? Can you revive Candice? If it hadn't been for you, Candice wouldn't have

died!” Chrono bellowed in rage. Co?tent of Dr?мovеls.cоm
