Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 2037 Toys

Not long after, Lincoln brought up yet another question. “By the way, Francesca, do you remember what Layla said about developing poison and hidden weapons for self-defense? Since we’re still healthy and agile, we can help you with it. Otherwise, you won’t be able to protect yourself if you run into any dangers again.”

In the past, Francesca had always stuck to her master’s teachings of not making poison, but with how things were going, she knew it was time for a change.

I was told not to leave the mountain or learn modern medicine, yet I did them anyway. I’ve also already gone against my master’s advice by treating a royal family member, so what difference would it make if I violated another one of his rules?

Having made up her mind, Francesca replied, “Okay. I’ll start preparing for it after Lacy’s operation.”

“Good,” Lincoln said, nodding in relief as he grabbed a leather bag from the shelf and handed it to her. “Here’s your most treasured possession. I found it for you.”

“You found it?”

Elated, Francesca tore into the leather bag and found herself staring at a large knife.

As it turned out, the knife was the only item she had taken with her from Mount Phoenix.
