Chapter 2305 I Really Miss Her
“The current situation—” “William, you should return to Danontand first,” Danrique interjected coolly. Upon hearing that, William knew Danrique had no intention of carrying on the conversation. He nodded and said, “All right.”
“I’ll walk you out,” Sean said politely. As Robin pushed William out, they ran into Danrique’s subordinate, who came in to make a report. “Mr. Lindberg, Ms. Atkinson wants to see you.”
Danrique furrowed his brows. Immediately, Sean replied, “Mr. Lindberg has just returned. He needs to rest.” “Understood.” The subordinate quickly went away to inform Hazel, who was waiting outside.
She was craning her neck and staring impatiently at Danrique’s room, hoping to see him. However, much to her disappointment, Danrique’s subordinate returned to tell her that Danrique would not be seeing anyone for the time being, as he needed rest.
I am leaving soon with William, and I don’t know when I can meet Danrique again. Now, only a wall stands between us. I just want to see him again, but sadly, he doesn’t want to see me.
Upon seeing Sean show William out, Hazel instantly went forward and was about to speak when William shook his head at her. She stopped herself.
Right… Since Danrique doesn’t want to meet me, whatever I say will only irritate him. It’s better that I leave obediently. When Norah and the others saw that Danrique had returned, they refused to leave, declaring that they would live and die with him.
Even Robin’s words could not sway them, so Sean decided to let them be. William didn’t force anyone, and he left first with Hazel. Gordon ordered Squad One to send them to the airport.
Norah made Danrique’s favorite Chanaean cuisine and personally brought it to the study room. “Mr. Lindberg, have something to eat first. You can settle your business after you fill your stomach,” she said, concerned.
Raising his head to look at her, Danrique realized that she seemed to have aged a lot in over a month. Her hair had turned white, likely out of worry for him.
He wanted to comfort her and ask her not to worry, but he didn’t know what to say.
In the end, he could only utter, “Thank you!”
“No need to thank me. This is what I should do. Mr. Lindberg, we’re not going anywhere. We will stay here with you. Nothing will happen to you. Ms. Lindberg will protect us while she watches from heaven.”
Upon hearing Norah mention his aunt, Isabella, Danrique felt a sense of warmth. He remembered that Isabella had once said to him, “Danrique, we, the Lindbergs, are born leaders. No matter what issues we face, we must have the confidence that we can deal with them. Nothing can bring us down.”
I have never feared anyone or anything, but now, I have a weak spot, someone I worry about. I’m not afraid of death, but I can’t let anything happen to Francesca.
“Mr. Lindberg.” Sean’s voice rang out.
Lifting his head, Danrique realized Norah had long left. He gathered his thoughts and ordered, “Tell everyone to eat and sleep well tonight. They don’t need to worry about being attacked. That silly old bugger won’t dare to make a move for the time being.”
“Understood. I will inform them.”
Sean immediately went to convey Danrique’s orders and told Norah and the others to prepare some delicious food to reward the subordinates.
They had been through life-and-death situations with them and hadn’t had a nice meal or good sleep in over a month. Now that they were back, they could finally rest.
After arranging everything, Sean served Danrique his medicine. “Mr. Lindberg, it’s time for your medicine.”
Danrique’s wounds had not healed, so he had been taking modern medicine.
Seeing the handful of medication reminded Danrique of Francesca. If she’s here, she will force me to drink immensely bitter herbal concoctions. Although it’s easier to take modern medicine, I miss the scent of herbal concoctions. It will be nice if she’s here.
“Mr. Lindberg, why not give Ms. Felch a call? She must be waiting,” Sean reminded softly.
