Chapter 1812 Taken Advantage Of
“Well, think about it. Master Felch really is just a regular doctor, and all she did was diagnose Prince William’s condition. She didn’t even administer any treatment, so why would he get out of his way to invite her to a meal?
“Moreover, his gaze kept lingering on her when they ate. He even put in a good word for her when the meal was nearing its end.
“And then there’s the part where his illness is a long-term issue. It cannot be cured right away.
“He also consulted her and obtained her medical advice yesterday, so why is he complaining about his leg and inviting her over yet again? What could she actually do to help?
“That is obviously just an excuse to get her there and to spend some time with her.”
Danrique nodded after he heard Sean’s rational analysis. After that, he said, “That does seem to be the case, but why would William do all that?”
“Well…” murmured Sean. He couldn’t quite figure that out at that moment.
“Would his actions cause any trouble or inconveniences for us?” asked Danrique again.
“That doesn’t seem possible,” answered Sean before he shook his head. “She is a doctor, and there is no problem with her examining Prince William so long as it won’t affect your treatment.”
“Then there you have it,” replied Danrique before he turned his attention back to the document he had with him.
Sean understood what Danrique was saying, even though the latter didn’t really say much. So basically, he’s saying there’s no need to bother, so long as it won’t affect us.
Danrique’s calm response and nonchalant attitude allowed Sean to sigh a breath of relief. I guess that means Mr. Lindberg isn’t into that doctor… That’s good news.
“By the way, have you learned anything about her?” asked Danrique. He suddenly thought about that, so he asked the question while messing with the necklace he had on.
“Ah, I was just about to update you on the matter,” replied Sean hurriedly. “I’ve found the surveillance footage from Maze Hospital, but the lady never showed up there.
“My men also located the vehicle she stole and examined the footage of the camera installed in the car. We learned that she went to a shopping mall after she left Casino Inferno.
“We highlighted the time and period she was in the mall, so I’ve already sent some men to retrieve the relevant surveillance footage. They are examining it frame by frame, and we believe that we will find her soon.”
“Investigate the matter in person,” ordered Danrique.
“Understood,” replied Gordon while having his head down.
“I’m guessing you wish to find her before returning to Erihal, right?” asked Sean who could tell what Danrique was thinking. “That way, you’d be able to take her there with you.”
“Yeah,” answered Danrique. His lips curved into a smile. “That is the most important task at hand, and I want this done as soon as possible.”
“Understood!” replied Gordon who worked on the matter right away.
“No, the most important task at hand is to find an antidote for the poison and cure you,” said Sean. He was feeling a little uneasy at the time, so he reminded, “That is crucial. We won’t be able to relax as long as that poison remains within you…”
“Stop nagging,” grumbled Danrique while frowning.
“Understood,” replied Sean. He tilted his head down and stopped talking.
“I hope we find the cure soon. That way, we can chase that arrogant doctor away,” commented Gordon all of a sudden. “That woman is just too annoying and is relentless. She keeps taking advantage of Mr. Lindberg.”
No one spoke for a moment there.
Danrique was slightly taken aback as well. He turned his attention to Gordon and demanded, “What are you talking about? What did she do?”
“Uh…”
Gordon panicked immediately after. Shoot! I forgot that Mr. Lindberg was unconscious the two times she fed him the medicine with her mouth. He is unaware of any of that.
Sean frowned and glared at Gordon. The former then cursed internally. Keep your mouth shut, you busybody. Everything is fine as long as Mr. Lindberg is unaware of it all. Now that he’s discovered the truth, things will become ridiculously bad.
“What the hell happened? Tell me!” demanded Danrique in a scary tone after he put the tablet away.
“Please calm down, Mr. Lindberg,” replied Sean quickly. “She didn’t really take advantage of you. Dr. Felch was just worried…”
“Err… Yes, that is exactly it. Here’s how it all went down.”
Gordon was rather insensitive, so he shared the whole story. He even ended everything with a deadly sentence. “You couldn’t swallow the medicine, and it was an emergency, so Dr. Felch had no choice…”
By then, Danrique’s expression had already become scarier than the ominous lightning in the dark clouds. His eyes glowed with so much fury that they seemed vicious.
Even if Danrique regarded the incident at the hot spring as an accident, even if he believed that she was careless when she fell into his arms and kissed him, essentially stealing his first kiss…
Then how the hell does she explain what happened the next two times? She’s definitely after me and has malicious intentions!
