q“Don't worry about the children. We will take good care of them,” Ben replied earnestly. “Nevertheless, it's still too dangerous for you to go back to Erihal. I'm sure you know how important you are to Mr. Nacht. If anything happens to you, it will be meaningless even if you found Francesco.”

Charlotte was touched by his words. She never knew how important she was to Zachary.

“In my opinion, we should try and locate Francesco first,” Ben suggested. “Bruce is now in Erihal, so he can take action the moment he receives your instruction. I believe he will be able to bring Francesco back to H City very soon.”

“You don't know how difficult Francesco is.” Furrowing her eyebrows, Charlotte remarked, “He might look like a doctor on the surface but is actually a mysterious and massively wealthy man. No one knows his true identity. When he was treating me back then, he wore a mask all the time. Hence, even I don't know what he looks like. Furthermore, he's quite eccentric. Other than my brother, he doesn't respect anyone else. Even if we found him, he may not agree to follow Bruce back to H City.”

“Unless what?” he asked frantically.

still hopeful. “Danrique might seem cold, but he treats me very well, unlike Francesco, who doesn't have a relationship with me. I'm afraid he won't agree to do it on my account. At the same time, I'm not sure if he will make an exception for Dr. Felch's sake. After all, Dr. Felch was the one who
