qChapter 1980
"Candice!"
The man went on a killing spree while in a crazed state, fending off the men in black alone.
Francesca immediately rushed over to hold Candice.
When she realized there was still hope for the child, she stopped the bleeding and gave Candice first-aid right away.
When the man finished off all of the men in black who were after him, he held Francesca at gunpoint, intending for
her to keep Candice company on the way to the afterworld.
Just when Layla was about to retaliate, Francesca interrupted, "There's still hope to save Candice.I'm a doctor, so
I'm confident about saving her.We need to go to the hospital now."
"Is that true?"
The man had assumed that Candice was beyond saving, but Francesca’s words reignited a spark of hope within
him.
Immediately hailing a taxi, he and Francesca rushed Candice to the hospital.
After that, Francesca operated on Candice.
Candice had lost a lot of blood, and she had a rare blood type that the hospital had not stocked up on, so Layla had
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto usher the hospital staff to arrange for some to be delivered.
All the while, the man waited around inside the operating room and even pointed a gun at the medical
superintendent, threatening to kill everybody, including Francesca, if something happened to Candice.
The operation should have gone smoothly until Francesca discovered that not only did Candice have asthma but
she had also had her heart operated on.
The gunshot had triggered a heart attack, so Candice was in critical condition.
Moreover, the blood wasn't delivered on time.
Coupled with various other reasons, the operation was a failure.
In the end, Francesca couldn't save Candice.
Before Candice drew her last breath, she held onto the candy that she had intended to give to Francesca.
It wasn't until her heart stopped that she released her grip, and the candy dropped onto the floor.
At that moment, Francesca broke down.
The child's father held Francesca while interrogating her in a frenzy, "Didn't you say you can save Candice? Didn't
you promise she would be all right? Why didn't the operation work? Why? She wouldn't have been shot in the first
place if she wasn't trying to deliver you the candy.The operation wouldn't have failed if you truly were an
exceptional doctor.This is all because of you! It's your fault!"
Francesca was unable to refute him, so she could only endure his rage in passive silence.
After that, the man went on a rampage and began slaughtering the doctors and nurses in the operating room.He
even attempted to kill Francesca so that she could keep Candice company on the way to the afterworld.
However, Layla injured his arm and fled the scene alongside Francesca.
The hospital staff had called the police, but the man had managed to take thirteen lives before the police could
arrive.
After that, he was subdued by the police, arrested, and sent to jail.
Thus, it was Francesca who had organized Candice's funeral.
After she finished handling everything, she even visited the man in the jail.
She came to know that his name was Chrono and that he was the world's top assassin who hailed from Rodunst.
Chrono had led the life of a wanderer but had, by then, wished to go into hiding and live in seclusion alongside
Candice.
However, his enemies weren't willing to let him off the hook.
Therefore, they tracked him down wherever he went, and he had been trying to escape from them while protecting
Candice.
When they were at the airport, he killed two people who were tracking him down when Candice went to the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmrestroom.
Then, he brought her away in haste, only to bump into the same bunch of people at the exit.
Not wanting to drag Candice into the ensuing mess, he told her to wait on a stone block.
He returned in search of her after killing off the men discreetly, only to bump into Francesca again.
All he wanted was to leave with Candice as soon as possible, but Candice got the idea of sharing her candy with
Francesca, so she wrenched herself from his arms to run back to Francesca.
At that moment, Chrono’s enemies caught up and fired their guns at him, leading to the tragedy.
Feeling guilty, Francesca apologized while sitting opposite him behind the glass panel in the prison.
Candice might not have suffered such a fate if she hadn't tried to give me some candy.
Moreover, she couldn't figure out the reason the operation failed when she was certain she could save Candice.
Although she wished to know what kind of operation Candice had undergone for her heart, she had missed out on
the opportunity to do so.
She had gone to the police station to retrieve Candice's body after the incident, but the police had already
cremated her body.
Thus, she could only hold the funeral with Candice's ashes before handing the address and information of her grave
to Chrono at the jail.q
