qFrancesca rolled her eyes and snapped, “That's none of your business!”

Anthony grinned cheekily and leaned closer. “I'm just concerned about you. Where's your

luggage?”

Tossing her backpack at him, she said, “There are valuables inside. Take good care of it.”

“What is it? Whoa! Where did you get all this jewelry?” His eyes lit up as soon as he

opened the backpack.

“They're a gift from that b*stard.” The mere thought of Danrique made her blood boil.

The light in Anthony's eyes died instantly. Then, he said arrogantly, “What's so great about

that? I'll buy some for you in the future too. So what if he's rolling in money? He's

promiscuous and unfaithful, and his feelings for you aren't genuine—”

“Shut up! You talk too much!” Francesca growled in a low voice, frowning.

Not daring to utter another word, he hurriedly opened the car door and protected her head

as she got into the car.

Francesca scanned the surroundings carefully but did not spot anyone suspicious.

Then, Anthony started the engine and drove off. He even put some music on as he drove

at a leisurely pace on the wide road.

Nonetheless, she was still a little on edge and dared not let her guard down, only

breathing a tiny sigh of relief when they reached the deserted highway. She asked

Anthony, “Where are Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln now?”

He replied, “Mr. Lincoln is at the foundation, and Ms. Layla is at the orphanage. She has

been at the hospital the past few days and only returned to the orphanage today because

something came up.”

“It's nothing serious, is it?” she asked.

“It's nothing serious.”

“In that case, head straight to the hospital,” Francesca said decisively. “Contact the

hospital. I want to know the details of Lacy's condition.”

“Okay.”

Anthony got in touch with the hospital as he drove. When the latter learned that Francesca

was on the way over, they said they would immediately inform Lacy's attending doctor to

await her arrival.

Layla called while they were still on their way to check if Francesca had landed, and the

latter told her that she had already arrived some time ago. After assuring Layla that

everything was fine, Francesca also mentioned that she was heading straight to the

hospital.

Layla said she still had some business to attend to at the orphanage and would meet up

with Francesca at the hospital later. The older woman also kept reminding Francesca that

she and Anthony had to be careful.

After hanging up, Francesca mused with a relieved sigh, “It looks like Chrono still hasn't

recovered after getting bitten by Sam and doesn't have the strength to get up to anything.

His accomplices probably won't dare to strike alone either.”

Anthony nodded. “That seems to be so. It's been quite quiet here, and there's been

nothing much over at the orphanage. The only issue is Lacy's illness.”

“Ms. Layla only mentioned that Lacy's condition has worsened, but she didn't give any

specifics. Do you know what happened?” she asked.

“Previously, when there was an explosion at the orphanage, a piece of metal got lodged in

Lacy's body. Although there was damage to her spleen when they operated on her to

remove the piece of metal, her condition was stable. But for some reason, complications

suddenly started arising over the last couple of days,” he explained.

“Who did the surgery? Were the person's skills up to par?” she pressed hurriedly.

“I heard that it was S Nation's best surgeon. Lacy's condition wasn't that complicated at

the time, so a surgeon would've been able to handle it. Nobody expected things to take a

turn after so long. That doctor was also extremely shocked,” Anthony replied, continuing

to relay what had happened to Francesca as he drove.

Francesca could not help feeling uneasy. It stands to reason that even if there were such

complications, they would've cropped up during the observation period. But in Lacy's

case, it has been quite some time. She should be fine by now. Why is it suddenly occurring

now? Could it be that they didn't remove all the remnants of that piece of metal during the

operation? Or are there any other hidden injuries or conditions they didn't detect at the

time? However, the chances of that are very slim. After all, those surgeons are the best in

their field. They couldn't possibly lack such professionalism... But if that's not the problem,

then what is?
