Chapter 2078 Wait And See
“Mr. Lindberg had Gordon stay here to protect the orphanage and arranged for Kerrie to follow Ms. Felch. It might sound like he’s taking care of her, but he’s actually monitoring her.”
William didn’t know how to reply to Robin’s speculation. “Kerrie would babble nonstop about what a lovely relationship Mr. Lindberg and Ms. Felch shared every time she came over. She would also bring up the pair’s promise to meet up in October for their wedding. She was obviously telling those to us on purpose.”
“She is Danrique’s subordinate, so treat her politely,” William ordered. “Yes, Your Highness.” Robin didn’t dare to comment any further. “October…” William glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. “There are two more months left!”
“Yeah, it’s still a long way to go. Who knows what will happen within these two months.” Robin added, “I heard the daughter of Erihal’s president had divorced recently and arrived at Xendale a few days ago. Since she had always admired Mr. Lindberg, who knows if something will happen—”
“Danrique isn’t that kind of person.” Robin’s biased remark didn’t trigger William to lose his sense. Instead, William responded logically, “He’s not a man who changes his mind easily about the decision he makes.”
“That’s true.”
“Ask Francesca. How long will my treatment be on halt? If it’s too long, we can make a trip back to Danontand first,” William demanded.
“Yes, Your Highness. I’ll make a call to Ms. Felch immediately.” Robin dialed Francesca’s number and soon got a reply. “Ms. Felch said the soonest would be a week. She wasn’t sure about the latest.”
“Then, let’s head back to sort out some affairs first.” William ordered, “Make the arrangements now.”
“But the acupuncture session—”
“Acupuncture is easy. I had the condition for so long that I knew a bit about it myself.” William continued impassively, “Ask Kerrie to leave her bag of needles here. We’ll bring that along with the medicine Francesca prescribed to me.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
After Robin made all the arrangements, he had someone send Kerrie back, then left for the airport.
When Kerrie reached home, she mumbled, “Strange. How could they leave just like that? Was it because they don’t want me to help His Highness with acupuncture?”
“What are you mumbling about?”
Francesca’s voice came from behind Kerrie.
“Why are you back so early, Ms. Felch?” Kerrie urgently approached her. “Prince William had left. Do you know about it?”
“Yeah, they decided to take a trip back to Danontand since Prince William’s treatment is currently on halt.” Francesca was riffling through her medicine box when she continued, “There’s a sick child at the orphanage, so I’m only here to get some medicine.”
“I’ll go with you.” Kerrie hurriedly went to help.
“It’s fine. Stay here and look after Anthony. He wants to have some soup today, so please make some for him.”
“All right.”
Francesca left in a hurry after she had taken the necessary medication with her.
Kerrie stayed back to take care of Anthony and informed Sean about William’s departure.
Sean merely answered, “Take good care of Ms. Felch. Report back if anything else happens.”
“Will do.”
Subsequently, Sean relayed the information to Danrique and expressed his opinion. “The royal family of Danontand is a mess at the moment. Prince William’s cousins are all searching for him. Won’t it be too dangerous for him if he goes back now?”
“William is more capable than you think. He has his own plans if he’s going back at this time.” Danrique continued casually, “His cousins might cause a lot of fuss, but they might not win William in a fight.”
“I only know that Prince William had started a company under his name and has a lot of businesses outside. His parents left this world early. Even though he had the old king of Danontand’s love when he was younger, the old king is aging by the day. He’s busy dealing with the nation’s affairs and doesn’t have the time to care for Prince William. Prince William might have inherited his father’s title, but he doesn’t have any power or authority behind his title due to his disability. If his cousins continue targeting him—”
Sean paused briefly before continuing, “Judging from the current situation, it doesn’t look like he can win the power struggle against his cousins.”
“Let’s wait and see then.”
Danrique dropped his gaze back to his work at hand after that comment. I’m confident in my judgment, but at the same time, I don’t care whether William will emerge as the winner.
