q“Did anything happen?” Sean continued asking.

“No. I've been keeping Ms. Felch company all along. Sometime later, there was a series of knocks outside. I was about to open the door when you knocked me to the ground.” Kerrie had a lost expression on her face.

Hearing that, Sean finally dispelled his worry. He didn't only transfer Kerrie back to take care of Francesca but also to keep an eye on her.

After all, she was exceedingly important to Danrique. If she were to make a run for it again like yesterday and cause a series of kidnappings, things would be troublesome.

“I'm glad everything is fine!” Sean bowed at Francesca before continuing, “In that case, please excuse me. Rest for a bit, Dr. Felch. I'll have someone come over to help you change.”

While saying that, he left the ward.

Layla breathed a sigh of relief before exchanging a look with Francesca.

Francesca frowned, feeling a tad resentful.

“I'll help you change, Ms. Felch.”

Kerrie came over to help Francesca change.

Meanwhile, Layla acted as though she was leaving, but her eyes remained fixated on Francesca.
