Chapter 2283
Where was she going to find such a good aunt?
How was she going to return such a wonderful aunt to Uncle Lincoln?
What would she tell Uncle Lincoln and Anthony?
What would she tell the children in the orphanage?
How could she explain this to herself?
Tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, Francesca closed her eyes, and Sloan’s handsome, youthful face came back to her mind.
She remembered the first time she met him, when she was still suffering from amnesia, the first time she used a summoning technique to invoke a beast, and then Sloan’s eyes grew full of stars.
From then on he was her little fanboy.
In order to help her, he went out of his way to disobey Danrique’s orders and let her go quietly.
Every time he received an assignment to protect her, he would give his all.
When she quarrelled with Danrique, he always stood up for her.
To her, Sloan was not an ordinary bodyguard, but her good brother and good friend in the Lindberg family.
This time, in order to save her, he impulsively followed his aunt and broke into the prison.
With all the rigorous training he had received, didn’t he know that it was a death sentence?
He knew it.
But he came anyway, because he was his goddess, the one he wanted to protect the most.
And then there was other bodyguards, who, because they were good brothers to Sloan and had been assigned to protect Francesca, had a master-servant bond with her too.
So they just followed along so blindly.
The end result was…
Thinking of that cruel scene, Francesca’s heart was like a knife.
Having lived for twenty-one years, she had experienced a lot, but never had she ever hated a person in the true sense of the word.
Even if it was Chrono.
She was more of a helpless person.
But this time, Francesca hated the presidential couple behind the curtain to the bone.
No matter what the reason was, they harmed her like this, killed her aunt, killed Sloan and other bodyguards, Francesca would never let them go!
Thinking of this, Francesca’s hope for life was rekindled.
She must pick herself up again, make herself strong, protect herself and protect her loved ones around her.
No longer could she be left to fleece.
She now regretted that she had not listened to her aunt earlier and should have made more powerful concealed weapons and poisons and carried them with her to enhance her offensive and defensive capabilities.
But those would need to wait for Xendale to be calm before they could be realized.
After all, even if she was powerful, she couldn’t fight power.
She wondered how Danrique was doing now, had he returned yet, would he be able to save the day and bring down that black-hearted couple?
Francesca looked at the dark cave and braced herself to sit up, wolfing down the wild fruits and wild chestnuts around her.
She had to recover her strength as soon as possible before she could go down the mountain.
She had to get to Danrique.
Danrique woke up from another nightmare, sweating profusely, his amber eyes shining with panic.
He had just had another nightmare, dreaming that Francesca had been blown up in the underground prison, blown apart …… blood splattered all over her body.
He shouted her name at the top of his voice, his heart aching like a tear.
The pain was real and vivid.
“Sir, you are awake?” Sean asked in a whisper through the screen, “Would you like some water?”
“Any news?” Danrique shielded his eyes with his hand.
“Not yet.” Sean said cautiously, “But that bamboo horse of Ms.Felch’s, Anthony, has gone to Xendale to look for her, together with Uncle Lincoln, the two of them acted in secret, thinking no one would notice, but in fact they were watched by the President’s people as soon as they landed.”
“Uncle Lincoln rescued?” Danrique had forgotten about all this.
“Well, he was released a few days ago.” Sean said, “The people from Riz Corporation were quite respectful and sent him straight to S Nation, he probably read the news and couldn’t contact Ms.Felch and Layla and was worried that something had happened to them, so he sulked and came to Xendale.”
“Send someone to protect them secretly.” Danrique instructed, “Don’t alert the snake.”
“Don’t you need to persuade to return?”
