Chapter 1999
Before she could finish, Chrono yanked on the safety clip of the bomb.
Sam vaulted from Danrique's arm and sank its fangs into Chrono's hand.
There was a sharp pain, and Chrono loosened his fingers, dropping the bomb before Danrique kicked it away from
them.
A loud bang resounded, and the bomb detonated without injuring anyone.
However, the explosion rattled Francesca, and it felt like a blade of agony was splitting her head.
Blood started to trickle out of her ears.
Chrono moved to seize her again, but Danrique clamped his hand around Chrono's neck in a chokehold, snarling,
"How dare you touch a hair on her? I'll send you straight to hell myself!"
Chrono could only groan, and his eyes nearly rolled back in his head.
Noticing that Danrique was almost choking the life out of him, Francesca remembered the bomb in the orphanage
and immediately stopped Danrique.

Danrique released Chrono, who slumped to the ground.
Sam wound itself around his neck and gave him another vicious bite.A shrill scream pierced the air as he fumbled
wildly to rip Sam away.
"Tell me where the bomb is in the orphanage," Francesca demanded.
Chrono drew out a small pistol and took aim at her head.
"Careful!"
Danrique jerked her aside, and the bullet struck him in the arm, blood splattering everywhere.
Sean and his men moved to grab Chrono, but he swung the pistol to aim at them, causing them to recoil
instinctively.He seized the window of opportunity and fled.
Sean and his men were hot on his heels, with the police not far behind them.
Danrique immediately led Francesca into a car and left the scene.
Her headache had sharpened to an unbearable degree in the car, but she clutched his sleeve and urged anxiously,
"You have to find Chrono and the bomb in the orphanage..."
Immediately, Danrique gave Ben instructions to comb the place.
At that moment, he realized that she did have a weak spot too.
Gordon called with an update that Dr.Felch had arrived at the notable Kindness Hospital in H City.
Everything was in order and he would be ready to perform the surgery after taking a short rest.
Danrique immediately turned the car around and drove to Kindness Hospital.
When they were a few minutes away from the hospital, Sean reported his findings at the orphanage, "Ms.Felch
founded hundreds of orphanages and contributed to the Lovely Care Foundation.Three of her S Nation orphanages
were blown up, most likely by Chrono"
Danrique was taken aback.He always thought Francesca was a mere doctor and that her avarice was a woman's
nature.
Now he knew she had done it for the orphanages.
Those orphans were her Achilles’ heel.
"I'm still investigating the feud between Chrono and Ms.Felch.The S Nation police have located the bomb hidden in
the orphanage with the help of two supervisors half an hour ago." Sean sighed.

"At least she's fine now."
Danrique's gaze softened as he looked down at Francesca in his arms.
"Get in contact with S Nation and have them keep an eye on the orphanages.Send a few of our more savvy men to
surreptitiously stand guard."
"Yes, sir"
Sean was about to leave when he thought of something and added, "Right, Mr.Lindberg, remember how I
mentioned that Ms.Felch seems to have a history with Dr.Felch? She seems particularly disinclined to Dr.Felch
discovering her identity."
"Got it."
Danrique ordered Sloan, "Get me Gordon"
"Yes, sir"
Danrique carried Francesca into the operating theater, where Helen did a cursory examination and cleaned her
wounds.He observed from the doorway with a frown knitting his brows when Gordon rushed over.
"Mr.Lindberg"
"Where's Dr.Felch?" Danrique asked.q
