Chapter 2321 Poisoned
However, the pediatrician at the hospital said it was already a miracle that the triplets could see the light of the world when the mother’s health was lacking, and they were born prematurely.
All three children were exceedingly weak then, especially Gamma. As such, they would possibly have to visit the hospital frequently in the future, coming every week for injections to survive.
After thanking the doctor, Francesca left with the babies without saying anything further. She’s right, but I’ve now recovered, and I’ve got the confidence that I can restore my kids to good health!
Francesca and Anthony brought Alpha, Beta, and Gamma back to the loft in the middle of the mountain in Phoenix City. Kimberley even tagged along to take care of them.
At first, Anthony merely planned on finding a domestic helper. But after all the interaction with her throughout this time, she had become a part of their family. Verily, she took great care of Francesca and the girls.
When they returned home, Kimberley even asked her husband to come and help buy groceries and the like since she was too busy. The atmosphere in the house turned lively and warm, and they were all happy.
Francesca started treating the triplets with peace of mind, focusing all attention on improving her medical skills. She also had Anthony build a small cabin at the back of the mountain for her to use as a laboratory to research new weapons and drugs.
“Why do we need to do all this? Our life is already very stable right now,” Anthony questioned anxiously.
“Prevention is always better than cure.”
Francesca kept Layla’s teachings in mind at all times, determined to learn to protect herself and her family.
“All right, then. You’re right. How strange! Those from the Lindberg family had already hiked up the mountain previously. Yet, they didn’t scour the area. If they continue searching, we won’t be able to escape detection.” Unease lingered within Anthony.
In response, Francesca sneered, “Well, Danrique is probably likewise aware that the Lindberg residence is a horrible place. Besides, so what if he finds me? Is he going to tie me up and drag me back?”
“Makes sense. He didn’t even stop you when you left back then.” Anthony proceeded to heave a sigh.
Just the thought of it had Francesca’s temper spiking. “Don’t mention him anymore henceforth.”
“Okay, okay, I won’t mention him.” Hastily changing the subject, Anthony declared, “I’ll go and look in on the triplets. It’s feeding time.”
Francesca had no breast milk, so the children had to drink formula milk as soon as they were born. They were allergic to cow’s milk, so they could only have goat’s milk.
Anthony initially wanted to purchase imported goat milk formula, but Kimberley argued that it would be more nutritious to milk the goats they reared before refining the raw milk.
In truth, he felt that it wasn’t scientific, but Francesca agreed. She refined the goat’s milk for the triplets every day, and they had been fine drinking it.
Time passed, day after day.
In the blink of an eye, three months flew past. By then, the triplets were already half a year old. That day, Anthony held a laptop and showed it to Francesca, divulging, “I received news that the Lindberg family is looking for renowned doctors everywhere. They even sent men to Phoenix City, seemingly in search of your master.”
At once, Francesca’s expression changed drastically. “What happened? Danrique is hurt?”
A deep frown marred Anthony’s countenance. “I’m not sure about that, but the situation seems urgent, so it’s likely a matter of life and death for real.”
Francesca said nothing, but her mind was already a mess.
Actually, there are many skilled doctors in this world. For the average injury or illness, one can be treated by going to other doctors. Once someone goes to my master, it’s, in all probability, a matter of life and death. On top of that, the Lindberg family is disregarding the president and the Nacht family’s scrutiny to openly search for renowned doctors, so the situation must be really critical, and they can’t hold out anymore. Considering the severity of things, it’s definitely Danrique. It’s him, no doubt!
“Make some inquiries about the identity of the patient and the type of illness,” she urged.
“Sure.” Just as Anthony was going to investigate the matter, a call came in from Justin. He quickly answered the call. “Hello, General Jablonski. Yes, I’ve heard of that. Francesca has also learned about it. Who exactly took ill? You’ve got no idea, either? If so, the Lindberg family is really good at keeping things under wrap. Do you know what kind of illness it is, then? Huh? Oh, I see…”
After hanging up the phone, he reported to Francesca, “It’s uncertain who took ill, but the Lindberg family is looking for a traditional medicine practitioner this time. They’ve already sent men to Phoenix City to seek your master out. It’s rumored that the patient has been poisoned with a deadly poison.”
