qFrancesca tensed up from the shock and turned around, only to see that Danrique had woken up.

“I-I was just...”

She desperately tried to explain herself, but Danrique cut her off, “Water...”

Feeling relieved that he didn't realize what she did, Francesca quickly put the necklace back and poured him a glass of water.

“Is Mr. Lindberg awake?” Gordon asked when he came in and saw her feeding him some water.

“He has regained a bit of consciousness, but still quite groggy at the moment,” Francesca replied while eyeing the necklace.

Good thing I didn't take it with me, or these guys would surely notice and think I'm trying to steal from Danrique! Oh, well... I'll just have to try again some other time...

“Is he still having a fever?” Gordon asked worriedly.

“It won't subside so soon. I think it'll be morning before it goes down,” Francesca said after placing her hand on Danrique's forehead.

Gordon stared at Danrique with a pained look on his face. “This is the first time I've seen Mr. Lindberg fall sick in so many years. I used to think he was ridiculously strong and tough.”

“Everyone falls sick at some point. Still, he got sick because he was bitten by his own pet snake, so he kind of brought this upon himself,” Francesca mentioned casually.

Gordon got furious when he heard that. “How could you say that? What do you mean he brought this upon himself?”

“Why would he keep a venomous snake as a pet? I bet he was trying to poison someone with its venom, wasn't he?” Francesca snapped back at him.
