Chapter 2269
Layla had just fallen asleep when she heard the sound of a car coming from outside, and she immediately rolled out of bed and took a big step to the window to check.
It was Gordon’s caravan.
Layla immediately changed her clothes and went downstairs.
When Sloan and the others saw Gordon returning, they all went out to greet him, excited that it was Danrique who had returned.
But when they opened the car door, they found that only Gordon had returned with a team of people, and there was no sign of Danrique in the car at all.
Sloan and the others hurriedly asked about Danrique’s condition, but Gordon only said, “Sir is still alive, don’t worry.”
“Great!”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Danrique was still alive, they had hope!
“Let’s talk first.”
Gordon hurriedly walked in, and when he saw Layla walking in front of him, he first bowed his head in greeting, and then asked Sloan about the specifics.
Sloan reported everything that had happened in the meantime to Gordon.
Layla also added a few words, and finally asked after him, “Why hasn’t Danrique come back? Has he been injured? Does he know about Francesca’s pregnancy?”
“Sir was indeed injured, badly, and he was still in a coma when I left.” Gordon said in a low voice, “I’ve already relayed the matter of Ms.Felch’s pregnancy to Sean, he should tell Mr.Lindberg.”
“So he was in a coma, no wonder….” Layla dawned on her, “I say, if he knew such a big thing was happening at home, he should have come back long ago.”
“Half a month ago, Sean and the others met with an attack, Mr.Lindberg could have gotten away, but in order to take care of Sean and the others’ safety, he turned back to save them, so he got ambushed.”
Gordon briefly recounted what happened, and finally said, “Mr.Lindberg is badly injured, there is no way he can come back now, I will try to save Ms.Felch first.”
“Yes, yes, save the people first.” Layla nodded her head repeatedly, “When are you going to act? I’ll go with you.”
“No need, you should stay at home and sit down, I will inform you if anything happens.” Gordon said respectfully, then took some documents before hurriedly leaving with a few people.
Layla was a bit confused and asked Sloan, “Isn’t he going to save Francesca? Why did he only bring so few people with him?”
“Gordon said we can’t do it the hard way, we have to go through the formal procedures.” Sloan frowned and said, “He should be going to see the Ministry of Law now.”
“What’s the point of going to the Ministry of Law when the whole of Erihal is at the President’s disposal?” Layla was anxious, “I thought he was talking about getting the people out first, he was going straight to the prison robbery, how long is this granny going to delay?”
“Don’t worry, Auntie, Gordon has a sense of propriety.” Sloan hurriedly reassured, “He should have discussed the plan with Sean, and the two of them can directly represent Mr.Lindberg. Now that he is personally taking action, he should be able to get the man out.”
Layla didn’t say anything else, but her heart was still uneasy, she felt that things weren’t that simple, no matter whether Gordon approached the Ministry of Law or the Supreme Police Department or the military, in the end, she couldn’t escape the President’s end.
The president wanted to fix Danrique and Francesca, who dared to loose his tongue?
But Sloan was right, as Danrique’s right hand, Gordon’s presence must be effective, perhaps paving the way for Danrique’s return.
So, now they could only wait a little longer.
In the prison, Francesca was already hungry and dizzy, lying on her bed not wanting to move, the little green snake twirling around in her sleeve, obviously a little annoyed.
Francesca said breathlessly, “Little Green, go and find yourself something to eat.”
Little Green burst out of her sleeve and slipped away along the plank bed, quickly returning with a small mouse in her mouth and placing it next to Francesca.
Francesca glanced at it and closed her eyes again, “Thank you, you’d better keep it for yourself.”
