Chapter 2326

Danrique hastily grabbed Francesca. Just when she was about to struggle, he pinned her against the wall. “Listen to me. I can explain—”

Francesca was both emotional and enraged. “What do you want to say? What is there to explain? You went to great lengths to trick me into returning just because you want me to treat another woman? Who is she? Your mistress? How daring of you, Danrique Lindberg! Are you not afraid that I'd kill you?”

“We're in the ward here. If you want to hit or scold me, you can do so as you please back in the bedroom. But right now, please listen to me first, okay?”

“I don't want to listen! I don't want to hear it! Mmph!”

Before Francesca could go off the deep end, Danrique clapped a hand over her mouth and restrained her body. Only then could he start speaking quietly.

“The woman on the hospital bed is known as Charlotte Windt. She's my aunt's daughter and my biological cousin. The Nacht family poisoned her with a deadly poison, and she's hanging on by a thread. I hired other medical teams, but they all failed to cure her. I only sought you out because there's no other recourse. Right now, you're the only one who can save her!”

Pausing for a moment, Danrique added, “As you know, I owe Aunt Isabella a debt of gratitude. She's the person who treats me best in this world, and Charlotte is her only daughter. I must save her, even at the cost of my life. Therefore... I beg you. Please save her. As long as you do so, I'll agree to anything!”

Subsequently, he moved his hand away and looked at her anxiously.

Francesca shot daggers at him, but she no longer clamored as she did earlier, merely walking over for a look at the woman on the hospital bed. She took the latter's pulse and checked her eyes before scrutinizing her countenance.
