Ch. 2311..2320

Chapter 2311 No Other Choice

Danrique fell asleep groggily on the couch after taking his medicine. Worried that he might catch a cold, Norah covered him with a blanket before turning off the lights and retreating quietly.

Though she did not know much, she understood that that night was critical. Mr. Lindberg and the president had come to an agreement: If Sean could bring Mr. Lincoln back, Ms. Felch would be able to come home, and the matter would be resolved

Norah watched the clock on the wall and counted the seconds in her heart. One minute passed. Ten minutes. Half an hour. Sean would be at the presidential palace by now and would be picking them up soon.

Danrique suddenly jerked awake while she was lost in her reverie and grabbed his phone to make a call. “Yes, Mr. Lindberg?” “Have you picked up Mr. Lincoln?”

“Not yet. He should be arriving at the back door of the presidential palace soon.” Danrique’s expression shifted drastically. “Did they tell you to collect him at the presidential palace?”

“That's right.” “Mr. Lincoln must be in our hands before the president returns,” Danrique urged. “If you catch sight of Francesca, stop her immediately.” “Yes—"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Before Sean could complete his sentence, a series of gunshots sounded nearby. Spinning around, he saw an emaciated figure falling at the entrance not far away amidst a storm of bullets. At the same time, another fell to her knees in the pool of blood.

“No! Mr. Lincoln!” Francesca's scream pierced the night sky. As Sean was rooted to the spot, his eyes widened in disbelief. His head rang with the words—It's over. We're too late.

Danrique’s order and his execution had been late, and the president succeeded in his scheme. Danrique heard the noise on the other end and, in a rage, sent the coffee table over with a kick and hung up. Summoning his men, he dashed outside.

“Be careful with your injury, sir!” Norah cried behind him. Danrique did not appear to hear her. Without even donning his jacket, he leaped into his car.

Fresh blood stained the white snow at the back door of the presidential palace. The president's expression remained impassive as the two bodies fell before him.

Though his wife, who had shared his bed for decades, fell at his feet, he did not appear sad in the slightest. He gazed at her quietly and then at Lincoln, who had been shot by a bullet, and his lips curled in a victorious arc.

Even though it looked disadvantageous to trade his wife's life for Lincoln's, the president had, in fact, benefitted a great deal.

As Danrique’'s maneuver had already incited hatred in the first lady for her husband, it was not his wife that the president had brought back with him but an enemy who constantly wished him dead. Furthermore, he needed his wife to bear all the charges on his behalf to free himself completely, but she may not be inclined to anymore, given her current hatred for him.

Only by exterminating all evidence can the doubts be silenced.

However, the president would be branded an ingrate if he ordered his wife's arrest or found pretexts to cause her demise.

With things turning out the way they did, my wife being assassinated by one of Danrique’s men... Not only would he be absolved of any blame, but he would also gain legal grounds to place all the blame on his wife. The damning evidence would be indefensible.

Everything would then fall into place.

In addition, Lincoln's death may prompt a wedge to be driven between Francesca and Danrique. Without her help, Danrique would lose the support of his powerful backers, and his diminished influence would humble him.

“Mr. President,” reported one of his men quietly, “Sean and his men are here, and Danrique is on his way over.”

The president gave a grim smile. “Good. We'll bag them all at once.”

"Will Mr. Lindberg refuse to reconcile out of rage?” the man asked uneasily.

“The pact will not be changed because of a single death,” the president said with a cold laugh. “Besides, Danrique has no other choice.”

 

Chapter 2312 We Will Meet Again

The president knew very well that his and Danrique’s feud would only incur a hefty loss for both sides if it were to continue much longer.

Despite Danrique’s dissatisfaction, he would take it lying low for the sake of the bigger picture. What goes around comes around, after all. Having once made a threat to me, it is only fitting that Danrique received one in return. Besides, I owe him a proper thank you for releasing my wife at such an opportune moment and using Lincoln to kill her. It was a great help to me.

The smile on his face widened at the sight of Francesca’s anguish. Danrique is going to suffer soon and will have his hands too full to deal with me.

The president maintained that it was more important to stabilize the situation first, so he could find other ways to deal with Danrique later.

After all, Danrique suffered a massive loss due to the incident. Even if I cannot subdue him now, there will be another opportunity. “Mr. Lindberg is here, Mr. President,” his subordinate whispered into his ear.

The president turned around and saw two vehicles arriving with frantic haste. As soon as the cars ground to a halt, Danrique emerged and dashed toward Francesca, who was kneeling beside Lincoln's body, her body heaving with sobs.

Anthony was also distressed.

Danrique went forward to help Francesca up, who came to life when the desolation in her eyes was suddenly replaced by vengeance. She snatched the gun from Danrique’s hip and pointed it at the president. “Go to h*Il!"

Though it was the first lady who had caused Layla's death, and everything looked as if she had orchestrated it, Francesca knew that the president was the mastermind.

That includes having me pick up Mr. Lincoln tonight and for me to see him shot dead with my own eyes. It has all been a ploy against Danrique.

“No, Ms. Felch!” Sean hastened forward to stop her.

At the same time, dozens of guns aimed at Francesca’s head, including lasers from sniper rifles in the shadows.

They were at the backdoor of the presidential palace. Aside from the soldiers standing guard, several hidden snipers armed with rifles lay in wait and oversaw the president's safety at all times. Francesca did not care. She uncocked the gun.

Danrique grabbed the barrel and whispered, “Calm yourself!”

“Let go!” Consumed by rage, all Francesca wanted to do at that moment was to shoot the president, and she did not care if it cost her her life.

“Francesca!” Danrique implored through gritted teeth. “Now's not the time to be stubborn.”

“I'm telling you to let go,” Francesca yelled, “or I'll shoot you too!”

Danrique did not speak. Instead, he only stared at her with a frown.

Their eyes met. Francesca’s were ablaze with a vengeance, whereas Danrique’s was filled with guilt and a mix of complicated emotions.

After our time apart, I can't believe we're reunited under such circumstances.

The president said sadly, “Oh, Danrique. There has been a serious misunderstanding on Francesca's part. You should tell her we have reconciled.”

His pretense was nothing short of nauseating.

Not just Danrique but even Sean wanted nothing more than to choke the life out of him.

However, all of them knew now was not the time.

“Reconciled?” Francesca gazed at Danrique in disbelief.

Danrique averted his gaze. He grabbed her hand and snatched the gun away, quick as lightning. “Danrique!” Francesca shrieked, demented, but he rapped her sharply on a spot at the back of her neck. Her vision went dark, and she fell limply into his arms.

Anthony rushed forward in a rage. “What are you doing? Let go of her!”

Danrique glanced at him with such a cold look that the latter became so frightened that he froze in his tracks.

Danrique lifted Francesca in his arms, then turned to address the president. “We'll meet again, Mr. President.”

We still have much time ahead. Just wait and see. This is war, and it's only just begun.

 

Chapter 2313 It Was Real

Danrique placed Francesca into the car and said politely to Justin, who had come forward to stop him, “Francesca is my woman, General Jablonski. I will not hurt her.”

“As I was the one who had brought her to Xendale, I am responsible for her safety,” Justin protested firmly. Danrique’s gaze was steely. “She will be safe with me. You are welcome to visit the Lindberg residence if you're not assured.” “Uh...”

Justin hesitated. He wanted to protect Francesca, not ruin her marriage; she had once declared that Danrique was the man she loved. At last, he relented. “I will hold you accountable if anything happens to her.”

Danrique did not reply but sank into a bow before bringing Francesca away. “Francesca...”

Anthony was about to run after her when Sean gestured him toward another car. Danrique’s men departed with Lincoln's remains. Francesca felt her head splitting open as if it was about to explode when she finally regained consciousness.

Flashes of Layla and Lincoln meeting their end played over and over again in her mind's eye. Each one felt like a knife piercing her. “Ms. Felch. Ms. Felch!”

Regaining her composure at the cries of concern, Francesca opened her eyes in a daze and was instinctively disconcerted by Norah's kind face looming over hers. It felt as if time had stood still several months before the tragedies struck.

Norah wiped the beads of sweat off her forehead and asked tenderly, “You've been talking in your sleep. Did you have a nightmare? Don't be scared. Everything is all right now.” Francesca rubbed her eyes. "How long have I been out for?”

Norah helped her up and propped a pillow behind her lower back. “A whole day and night. Mr. Lindberg brought you home last night, and it's currently the second night.”

"Where is Danrique?” Francesca asked instinctively. “Mr. Lindberg is not home yet,” Norah replied softly. “Many things happened today, and Mr. Lindberg has been out since this morning dealing with them.”

Francesca clutched her head to recall the events of the night before. Mr. Lincoln is dead. He had been shot dead before my eyes. Was it a nightmare, or did that really happen?

As realization dawned upon her, she realized it had all happened for real.

Mr. Lincoln is really dead. The president had released him and told him that he and Danrique had reconciled. Enraged, Mr. Lincoln became consumed by the thought of killing the president and his wife to avenge Ms. Layla. As soon as he was uncuffed, he grabbed the guard's gun and fired at the president's car without stopping. However, he had only killed the first lady as the president was in another vehicle.

“Let me in! Francesca!” Anthony's voice sounded outside. Francesca quickly had Norah open the door, who placed a jacket on Francesca’s shoulders before letting him in.

“Let's go, Francesca,” Anthony said upon dashing in. “Let's get out of here.” “What happened?” Francesca gazed at him, bewildered.

“Danrique reconciled with the president,” Anthony spat. “The two of them held a press conference this afternoon to explain to the reporters that everything that had happened was a misunderstanding and banned all news regarding the matter. Look, we can't find anything about it.” As he spoke, Anthony handed her his phone.

Francesca received his phone and conducted an online search. True enough, all news regarding the first lady, her, Avery and Chrono, and the first lady's scandal had been wiped clean.

Not a trace of evidence could be found as if it had never happened.

Francesca gaped at the phone, then gazed up at the clock on the wall. The date and time were correct.

Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln's deaths were real, and so were Sloan's, Morty’s, and Zolt's. Everything was real.

 

Chapter 2314

Outside the cold wind was howling and the snow was flying.

Francesca was dressed in thin clothes, barefoot, and walking quickly forward.

All she wanted to do now was to get out of here, to leave this place, as if it was a dragon's den, and if she continued to stay there she would be swallowed up.

Anthony followed behind, anxiously dialing the phone to have someone come and pick them up. This freezing weather, the cold wind howling, continue to walk, people are afraid that will be wasted. “Ms.Felch!!!” Sean anxiously chased out and explained, “Sir is also forced to do so, the situation now "Compelled?” Francesca couldn't understand, “So many people died because of him, and instead of taking revenge, he easily reconciled with the president, and this is called compulsion?”

"Before he didn’t come back, there was no way to control a lot of things, I don’t blame him for what happened, but now, when he came back, the first thing he did was not to save Uncle Lincoln, but he was busy reconciling with the president, even though the president brutally killed Uncle Lincoln in front of me, he still chose to reconcile.”

The more Francesca said, the more agitated and angry she became, “In his eyes, his position of power is more important than anything, including the lives of us people!!!”

Sean: “That's not true, Ms.Felch.”

“Last night I was going to kill the president to avenge Uncle Lincoln, why did he stop it?” Francesca roared in agitation, “Just because he killed that dog thief, he has no one to reconcile?”

“No, Ms.Felch.” Sean hurriedly explained, “In that situation at that time, you couldn't kill the President at all, because there were guns and infrared lasers aiming at you everywhere, once they fired, the one who died first must be you, and Mr.Lindberg did it to protect you.”

“I don't need his protection.” Francesca was very angry, “My auntie Layla and Uncle Lincoln are dead, what am 1 still living for? I just want to take revenge for them!!!”

PBUL .....”

“That's enough, don't say that.” Francesca didn't want to continue the nonsense, “Tell him that from now on, I'm done with him, he better not appear in front of my eyes, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist killing him!”

“Ms.Felch ....." Sean still wanted to say something, Francesca had already turned around and left. Her back looked lonely, desolate, and determined in the snowy sky.

Sean talked a breath, he knew Francesca’s temper, he couldn't persuade, so he simply stopped persuading.

Danrique did not explain anything today, nor did he retain her, probably because he also wanted to leave her alone.

She was now in a fit of anger, and probably couldn't listen to anything.

Sean returned to the villa and instructed the two brothers who had previously been with Sloan to drive to see Francesca off, and also asked Norah to bring her clothes and follow her there.

After this was done, he went to the study to look for Danrique.

There were no lights on in the study and the room was dim.

Danrique sat alone on the sofa, drinking in silence.

The atmosphere was somewhat sad, he usually rarely drank unless he was in a bad mood.

Sean opened his mouth and said cautiously, “Sir, Ms.Felch has already left, I arranged for Auntie Norah to see her off.”

“Mm.” Danrique responded without speaking.

“She's in a fit of anger right now, she might not listen to explanations, let her calm down for a few days, maybe she'll be fine.” Sean said softly, “In a few days, let's go pick her up again?”

"With her temper, I'm afraid it will take more than a few days.” Danrique sighed helplessly, “In fact, if it were me, I would be angry too.”

Danrique understood Francesca’s feelings very well, watching the people closest to her being killed, it was impossible not to have resentment in her heart, not only did he stop her from taking revenge, he also reached a reconciliation with her enemy.

How could she not hate?

Even he himself hated himself.

He who had always done what he wanted and never bowed to anything, this time he actually bowed to reality.

He hated himself for it.

 

Chapter 2315

"You can't be blamed for this, the current situation, there's really no way out.” Sean hurriedly said, "What's more, we are only compromising for the time being, it's not too late for Mr.Lindberg to take revenge, wait until everything is stable, then it's not too late to deal with that old man, the President.”

“Mm.” Danrique nodded, “To do great things, is to be calm.”

“It's just that this will make Ms.Felch suffer,” Sean sighed, “She has to face a lot of heart pressure, and guilt.”

“It will be fine after a while.” Danrique said it in a light-hearted manner, as if it wasn't a big deal. He felt that time would wash away the hatred and resentment, and it would be good to wait until that time to find her again.

He believed that his relationship with her would stand the test.

“But...”

Sean wanted to say something, Francesca’s pregnancy, he had been hiding it from him, before because of all the crises, he was worried that Danrique would act impulsively and affect his own safety when he found out.

Today, he was thinking of waiting for Danrique to communicate with Francesca properly and tell him about this matter after his emotions stabilized, but before he could say it, Francesca left in anger. Danrique was so preoccupied that he did not notice Sean's desire to speak.

Sean hesitated and thought to wait, now Danrique had just reconciled with the president, both sides were on guard against each other, everything was unstable, in case something else happened it would be a problem.

The first thing he needed to do was to wait until everything had settled down, it might be better. But this wait had been a month.

Danrique’s relationship with the President had completely returned to the original peaceful state. As expected, the president blamed all the crimes on his wife, excusing himself cleanly and completely, admitting only one charge of negligence, holding a press conference and publicly apologising to the public.

Then also explained the war of public opinion during this time, affirming that it was all something the president's wife had done, and that it was now clear with Danrique that the two sides had reached a reconciliation and would continue to move forward side by side in the future to develop Erihal together.

Afterwards, the president also personally visited the Lindberg Corporation and urged Harrier and Kevin to assist Danrique with their hearts and run Lindberg Corporation.

After this series of superficial efforts, it seemed that everything was starting to fall into place.

Soon, public opinion subsided, and the president and Danrique jointly used their power to remove all public opinion information during this period, including those related to Francesca.

Now there was not a single trace of it to be found online.

No matter how powerful the news was, it could always be covered up and forgotten by time. A month had passed and no one was talking about that news anymore.

It's as if everything never happened.

D Nation, the courtyard of a villa in the far suburbs.

Francesca was lying on a reclining chair, squinting her eyes and lazily sunbathing.

A month ago, Francesca brought Uncle Lincoln and Auntie Layla's ashes and followed the general to D Nation ......

During this time, she looked calm, but her emotions were always hovering at the bottom.

She wanted to kill the president to avenge Uncle Lincoln and her aunt, but now she didn't seem to have that power.

Everything was back to normal in Erihal and she didn’t even have the chance to get close to the president.

The General advised her to put it down for now, recuperate her body and mind, and think about revenge later.

In fact, the general was able to understand Danrique, sometimes, the higher he stood, the greater the responsibility he carried, he was not living for himself alone, he carried the entire Lindberg Corporation on his shoulders.

And even, there was Francesca’s safety and security.

He couldn't risk it!

These words, the general had also spoken to Francesca, only she could not listen to them.

Perhaps deep down she didn’t resent him, but was just disappointed and, at the same time, wanted more to get away.

Away from Danrique, away from all that strife.

 

Chapter 2316

After so much, she had thoroughly understood what her master and auntie Layla warned her about in the first place.

Many people, many things, look as if they were harmless, but in the dark would bring many hidden dangers that she simply couldn't control.

Therefore, staying away was the greatest wisdom!

Things had changed, and now Francesca had calmed down and started to re-examine the relationship between her and Danrique, and their future.

Staying away and never seeing each other again was the best outcome for them.

"Francesca ....."

Anthony's voice came and Francesca snapped back to attention, turning her head to look at him, “Is it done?”

“It's done.” Anthony nodded, “The orphanage has all been transferred to the general's name, it's also disassociated from Lindberg’s foundation, it's a free agent from now on.”

"Well, that's good.” Francesca raised the corners of her lips slightly, once upon a time she was the legal person of the orphanage and had a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders, thus she was always threatened.

She listened to William's advice and transferred the orphanage to the general's name, from then on she was all alone and unattached, and there was nothing to be threatened by.

Both Francesca and Anthony deactivated their previous phone numbers and bank accounts and transferred all the money in their accounts to the orphanage, leaving only a small amount of money in a new account provided by the general.

In this way, they cut off all contact and no one could find Francesca.

“The place is also found.” Anthony spoke again, his voice low.

"Hm." Francesca nodded and said to the general, “General, after disturbing you for so long, we should leave.”

"What are your plans for the future?” The General asked worriedly.

“Auntie Layla and Uncle Lincoln loved Phoenix City when they were alive, I want to take them back.” Francesca looked at the white clouds in the sky and said sadly, “I asked Anthony to buy a small building there and I plan to live there.”

Not only did she want to let her auntie Layla and Uncle Lincoln go into the ground, but she also wanted to take the opportunity to sink her teeth into it.

She felt that she had been impulsive and capricious, self-righteous, simple-minded and incompetent, and she needed to change.

"Good, call me anytime you need anything, I'm always here.” The general admonished.

“Thank you.”

The next day, Francesca left the D Nation with Anthony, returned to H City, and then transferred from H City to Phoenix.

The place Anthony found was in a small town halfway up the hill in the western city of Phoenix, the town was not exactly wealthy but lived very comfortably, the small building had been built the year before and the owners were a professor couple who had returned from the city.

The two were now emigrating abroad with their children and have had to sell the small building to a kindred spirit.

The small building was decorated in traditional style, with furniture and decoration in a kind of traditional retro style, and many flowers and plants planted in the yard, light and literary.

When Francesca walked into the courtyard, she had an inexplicable sense of comfort, Anthony really got to her heart, finding places that she liked.

The two of them found a cemetery in the back of the mountain, where they buried their auntie Layla and uncle Lincoln, and planted a laurel tree next to it, which was the scent that Auntie Layla liked. Once everything was settled, Francesca and Anthony stayed here, and the two of them would go every day to spend time with their auntie Layla and uncle Lincoln, talking to them and chatting with them as if they had never left.

They were still the happiest and warmest family as before.

Anthony accompanied Francesca for her prenatal check-ups and hired another granny from the town to help take care of Francesca and take care of her daily life.

Many people thought they were a young couple.

A few months had passed since they started living in such a peaceful and cozy way.

Francesca's belly grew bigger and bigger every day. She checked her pulse every day and made herself tonic herbs to make sure she gave birth to the three children safely.

Yes, she was pregnant with triplets.

She was already not physically fit to have children, but now she was even more dangerous.

Chapter 2317

With Francesca's health condition, having one was hard enough, and now that she was pregnant with triplets, the risk index had instantly tripled.

Francesca went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and was advised by her doctor to undergo a reduction procedure, aborting two and keeping one, which would be safer, but she refused.

They were all her flesh and blood, she couldn't give up any of them, she had practiced medicine all her life to save people and now she was confident to keep her children too.

So she began to study the art of medicine, checking and regulating herself every day and preparing for the birth.

Anthony was relieved and still had a card at the CX Hospital in H City, and also contacted a special plane, thinking that when Francesca gave birth, in case there were any emergencies, she could still fly to H City for treatment immediately.

But he was afraid of being scolded, so all these things were done secretly and silently.

Francesca had been in a very calm mood lately, either reading ancient medical books or tinkering with traditional medicine every day, and she had also gotten a new set of tools to prepare herself for delivery.

The old lady who helped out at home was terrified, going back to her partner and saying that the young couple at Mid-levels could be wanted criminals, how come they were pregnant and still had to pound out births in their own home, not daring to go to the hospital.

Fortunately, Francesca and Anthony usually treat her well, although the granny was nervous and afraid, but also did not think of reporting them, just every day to be afraid of.

Day by day, in the blink of an eye, Francesca was already seven months pregnant, and recently she had a particularly good appetite, eating a large pot of stir-fried meat, a casserole of fish soup, and various fruits and vegetables every day.

The original lean little face was now rounded, and the skin was white and red, which was endearing. When Anthony saw that she was in such good shape, he was relieved and asked granny to buy more food and cook it for Francesca in different ways.

The day Anthony drove to the city to replenish some daily necessities, he found some people asking around for information about Francesca.

He was startled and hurriedly drove back up the hill.

He was on his way back when his mobile phone rang, it was the maid's call, her voice excited and nervous: “Anthony, it's a big deal, Francesca is going to give birth, you should come back quickly.” “I'm on my way back, what's wrong with her?” Anthony asked anxiously.

“At noon she said she was thirsty, holding half of a watermelon and lying on a reclining chair to eat it, I was doing the laundry, before I finished it I heard her screaming in agony, saying that her stomach was hurting badly, asking me to hurry and call you.”

Granny was busy while talking and heard Francesca’s screams of agony still coming from the other end of the phone.

Anthony was terrified and hurriedly sped up the car to rush home.

But he had just driven halfway up the hill when he noticed several black modified cars following him behind, supposedly from the Lindberg family.

His heart was racing, at this time, if he went home, he would take them back with him, if not, then Francesca would be in danger.

As he was thinking, another alarming voice from Granny came over the phone, “Oh my God, Francesca ...."

"What's wrong what's wrong?”

The phone never hung up, connected to the car call.

“Francesca has fallen.” The Granny held Francesca while urging Anthony, “Anthony you should come back quickly, I can't manage it alone.”

“I want to come back right away too, but someone is following me.” Anthony's heart was burning with anxiety.

"What kind of person?” Francesca's weak and feeble voice came from the other end of the phone. “It should be someone from the Lindberg family.” Anthony said anxiously, “Francesca, what should we do? If I go back now, I'll bring them back, if not ......"

“Don’t come back.” Francesca made a decisive decision, “Lure them away.”

Anthony: “But ......"

Francesca: “Do as I say.”

Anthony: “Okay.”

Chapter 2318

Anthony knew Francesca's temper, and no one could change what she had decided.

What's more, Francesca was a doctor, she could handle herself, in fact, Anthony couldn't play a role even if he went back.

If she brought the Lindberg family back, instead, she was causing her trouble, in case the Lindberg family snatched the child away again, then she didn't have to live.

Anthony drove the car and sped off in another direction, and sure enough, the cars immediately followed behind, chasing after them.

Meanwhile.

In the small building at Mid-levels, Francesca was already pale with pain and sweating like rain, but she still gritted her teeth and held on, sticking needles into herself to stop the pain, while instructing Granny, "Help me bring the medicine box.”

“The medicine chest? Where is the medicine chest?” The granny was already in a panic.

“Next to it, in the cupboard.” Francesca gritted her teeth and endured the pain, “Quick!!!”

"Fine, fine ......" the granny hurriedly brought her medicine chest.

“Purple bottle, open it, feed me the medicine.” Francesca’s voice was getting weak, and her whole body was shaking and sweating.

The medicines had been made up long ago and placed in her medicine chest, which was kept in the cupboard next to the bed so that it was readily accessible in case of an attack.

Just in case, she had put each medicine in a different bottle so that the granny could help her with it if Anthony was away.

“Purple, purple ......"

The granny quickly found the purple medicine bottle and fed Francesca the medicine.

After Francesca drank it, she took the knife and had a caesarean section herself.

"Oh my God, what are you doing? Are you going to have a caesarean section by yourself? Don't you scare me?”

The granny was already pale with fear and incoherent.

“Granny, go sterilise your own hands and put on medical gloves, when I cut open my belly, you help me get the baby out.”

Granny: “I, I 1..."

“Don't be afraid, I've taught you that.”

Francesca drank the purple potion and no longer felt the pain, picked up the scalpel and began to give herself a caesarean section.

The granny was shaking with fear, but did as Francesca said.

Francesca: “Put my pillow up higher, I want to see my belly.”

“Ohhhhhhh ......"

At that moment, lightning suddenly flashed outside and it was raining furiously.

The Granny shivered in fear and hurriedly went to close the window, which had just been closed, when she turned around and Francesca had already broken her stomach open.

She scrambled to fetch the baby.

After luring those people away, Anthony abandoned the car in the mountain wilderness, then followed the path and hurried home against the lightning and thunder.

Just as he ran into the courtyard, he heard a loud baby cry.

He was stunned for a moment and looked at the room in astonishment, his mind going blank. Francesca had given birth, given birth, given birth, given birth?

It took a long time before Anthony came back to his senses and rushed in.

By now, Francesca had already asleep, and Granny was wrapping the three children, smiling from ear to ear. When she saw Anthony return, she hurriedly said to him, “Anthony, Francesca has given birth, three little princesses, they are so beautiful!”

“That's wonderful.” Anthony was so excited that he was at his wit's end, “Is the baby healthy? Let me see.”

“Healthy, but so small, I don’t know how to take care of them, I may still have to take it to the hospital, by the way, you should go check on Francesca, her wounds are not even stitched up, I don't know how to do it.”

Granny reminded.

Anthony hurried over to check, Francesca was bleeding heavily and was in great danger, he was so frightened that he immediately called an ambulance.

On the way to the hospital, Francesca woke up in a daze, heard the sound of ambulance emergency, saw the white-clad medical care around her, and felt that this was her life-saving angel.

She really overestimated her pain tolerance, and thought that after the caesarean section, she could still stitch up the wound and take medication on her own.

Now she realized that she was just an ordinary person, flesh and blood, and simply couldn't cross the line between life and death.

Chapter 2319

On the hill, the bodyguards brought by Mylo swooped in and failed to catch up with Anthony, only seeing an abandoned car.

He knew that Anthony and Francesca should be not far away. He was about to lead his men to search the mountain when Sean's call came.

He reported the situation carefully and after a few minutes, Sean's voice came on the other end of the line, “Stop searching, withdraw!”

"Huh?" Mylo froze, “Sir has spent so much effort to find the whereabouts of Francesca, and now that we are about to find him, withdrawing at this time, isn't it halfway?”

"Withdraw when you're told to.” Sean ordered.

“Yes.” Mylo dared not say more and hurriedly led the men to withdraw.

On the other end of the phone, Sean reported to Danrique, “Sir, Mylo has led his men to evacuate.” “Mm.” Danrique nodded slightly.

“But, why?" Sean asked cautiously, “Seeing that we are about to find Ms.Felch.”

"With Anthony's intelligence, how could she think of abandoning the car and fleeing? She should have taught me that, she is so determined, which means she doesn't want to see me, so why should I force it?”

Danrique looked calm, but it was hard to hide the loss in his eyes

“Maybe it hasn't subsided yet.” Sean sighed, “But if we keep avoiding seeing each other like this, the problem will only get worse, no matter what, we still have to meet to resolve the conflict, ah.” Danrique didn't say anything, just looked at the things she had left on the table in silence.

"So, should we let Mylo and the others continue to guard there, or ......"

"Come back.” Danrique instructed, “Don’t disturb her!”

"Yes!" Sean immediately informed Mylo.

Danrique continued to read the documents, these six months, he spent all his energy on his work, as if this was the only way to forget his worries.

Sean knew that he also wanted to secure his position as soon as possible, no longer be threatened by anyone, and wait until that time to pick up Francesca and go home.

After six months, Lindbergs had returned to full regularity.

After what happened last time, Harrier and Kevin have been kicked out by Danrique, and the two of them are taking shares and waiting for their dividends at the end of the year, and could no longer participate in the management of the group.

In addition, since the stability of Lindbergs's, Hazel has returned from Danontand and was now in charge of helping Danrique with the group, and had a high position in the company.

During these six months, the president did not toss things around anymore, and settled down to be his president. Internally and externally, when Lindbergs and Danrique were mentioned, they were all praised.

This all seemed peaceful, but Danrique knew that a bigger storm was still behind.

So, although he now missed Francesca, he did not dare to force her back, he thought, stabilized it again.

When Mylo led his men away from the mountain, his men said that they had found a small building not far away, halfway up the mountain, with lights on, perhaps the residence of Francesca.

Mylo thought better of disobeying Mr.Lindberg's order, so he did not bother and left with his men. By the time they descended the mountain, it was already dark.

Mylo went straight to the airport. He noticed that there were signs of other vehicles on the road and wondered in his mind if Ms.Felch had come down the mountain early to avoid them.

Anthony was on tenterhooks, afraid that the Lindberg family would come looking for them, always looking around at the window, until late at night, when he was relieved that no strange people were looking for him.

Francesca's wounds had been treated and she was still sleeping, and the children were being looked after by a nurse.

The Granny went out to buy food and daily necessities, while Anthony watched over Francesca in the ward,

Everything seemed fine, they were like a happy and warm family, welcoming the baby together.

It was after seven in the morning when Francesca woke up in a daze and heard the nurse asking, “Quickly give the baby a name, we have to register the children and wear bracelets to avoid mistakes.”

Chapter 2320

"When the baby’s mother wakes up, let her pick it up.” Anthony smiled and said, “I can't do it.” "You're the baby’s father, why can’t you make the decision?” The nurse joked, “Looks like you're afraid of your wife, hahaha...”

“It's not fear, it's love, love.” Anthony scratched his head in embarrassment.

“There aren't many men like that nowadays, how nice.”

A few nurses laughed and joked, it was hard to see such a handsome man in such a small town. "Haha ......"” Anthony was delighted by the compliment.

“Hey, mum is awake.” The nurse noticed that Francesca was awake and hurriedly went up to check her, "How do you feel? Does the wound hurt?”

“It hurts all over.” Francesca sucked in a breath, “Anthony, where is my medical kit?"

“It's with me.” Anthony hurriedly brought her medicine box, “I know which one is the painkiller, but I didn't dare to give it to you indiscriminately when you were unconscious.”

“You can use it now.”

Francesca still had more confidence in her medicine.

"What is this medicine of yours? Can it be used?” A few nurses gathered around curiously, “Shouldn't we ask the doctor first?”

“She's the doctor.” Anthony brought the pain relief potion and fed it to Francesca.

After Francesca drank it, she was only slightly better and fussed that she was hungry and wanted to eat.

The nurse said that it was not yet time to eat, and that she would not be able to eat until her stomach and intestines had been drained.

Anthony was distressed, so he gave her a little water to drink, but only to moisten her throat, not to drink too much.

The nurse came back and asked Francesca what to name the baby, but Francesca was confused and wanted to sleep, so she casually said, “120, I think.

“Huh?” The nurse didn’t understand.

“Just one, two, zero ...... The big name will be thought of later.”

Francesca was drowsy, and the name came to mind as the one-two-zero ambulance that had rushed to her rescue before she felt asleep, so that was the name that came off the top of her head.

“It's quite good, good to remember!”

No matter what Francesca said, Anthony thought it was good.

The nurses felt that it was a bit scribbled, but they had to respect the parents.

The Granny came back from buying supplies and food and was relieved to see that Francesca and the children were all well. She hurriedly put her things down and ran back to make soup for Francesca.

Francesca slept drowsily for a day and a night, and only the next day did she feel well enough to eat and to see her babies.

These three little ones were very weak and had been staying in the incubator, especially the little one, Zero, who had all kinds of health problems as soon as he was born.

The doctor did all the tests on the child and asked Francesca and Anthony if they wanted to receive treatment.

Although Francesca was highly skilled in medicine, such a small child still needed to receive systematic treatment in the hospital, but the medical equipment in this small town was limited, she was worried about delaying the child's condition, and immediately discussed with Anthony to take the child to seek medical treatment in H City.

Fortunately, Anthony had long been prepared and immediately arranged a special flight to H City, taking Granny with him.

The people at the hospital saw a limousine coming to pick up the plane and heard that Anthony was arranging a special plane, thinking that these two people should be some kind of low-profile big shot, and they were all secretly talking about it.

Francesca didn't want to draw attention to herself and hurriedly took the children away.

For the next two months, they spent their time at the CX Hospital in H City, a hospital owned by Raina that specialised in women and children and was very famous in C Nation.

And the confidentiality here was very good and respects the privacy of the patients.

Anthony used a false identity to get a medical card here and brought Francesca to stay in, with Granny accompanying her all the time to take care of her.

For two months, Francesca sat on the moon and the children received systematic treatment, and everything went smoothly.

Two months later, Francesca's body completely recovered and her's condition stabilised.
