qThere was still no reply.
As Charlotte did not dare to go in, she could only continue speaking outside. “Francesca, I know you're helping to
treat my husband. Regardless of the outcome, I'm very grateful to you. I only want to know his current condition.
Also, the kids miss him...”
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking, she heard the sound of a car engine coming from the backyard. The
woman's heart skipped a beat and she rushed over immediately, only to see an old van driving away.
She has escaped...
Charlotte watched as the van drove off. She saw an eagle and a snake on the roof of the van and was certain that
the person inside the vehicle was Francesca.
She immediately chased after the van while shouting anxiously, “Francesca! Francesca! Please don't go!”
However, Francesca ignored Charlotte completely and sped off.
Charlotte could hardly believe that such an old and worn-out vehicle could travel at such a fast speed!
Francesca's driving skills were even more impressive than Morgan's.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe distance between Francesca and Charlotte was widening and there was no way Charlotte could catch up with
the woman. Charlotte thought of chasing after Francesca in a car but she did not want to risk offending her future
sister-in-law.
Charlotte stomped her feet in frustration. With no other choice, she returned to the loft in the backyard. Over there,
she saw some items that Francesca did not have the time to pack, including Chinese medicine dregs, clothes,
medical gauze, and medicine containers.
Seems like Francesca was indeed treating Zachary here.
Just as Charlotte was deep in thought, she suddenly noticed a few words that were scribbled next to the flower pot.
As the handwriting was almost illegible, it took the woman quite a while to make out the words.
The words read: Zachary is alive. I'm treating him!
Just that simple sentence was enough to ease Charlotte's worries, and she cried tears of joy.
Even though she had previously suspected that that was the case, she could not be completely sure without any
confirmation. With Francesco's words, she could finally stop worrying.
Zachary is still alive. He's still alive...
That's great!
As long as he's still alive, there's nothing I'm afraid of!
However, what remained puzzling to Charlotte was that Francesco still chose to run away and did not want to speak
to her even though the former had already dismissed everyone else.
Charlotte understood that Francesca did not want to meet anyone. However, it was odd that the latter had chosen
to avoid her.
Besides, her husband was getting treated by Francesca.
While Charlotte was still trying to figure out the reason, she suddenly heard footsteps outside. Immediately, her
gaze sharpened as she took out her gun.
The other party seemed to be aware that there was someone inside as well and was also on high alert.
However, when the figure got closer, both of them were stunned.
“Ms. Lindberg?”
“Sean? It's you? Why are you here?”
Both Charlotte and Sean were shocked to see each other. After clarifying, Charlotte found out that Danrique had

After hearing Sean's explanation, Charlotte asked in confusion, “Isn't Francesca together with Danrique? What's
going on?”
“It's a long story,” Sean replied. “Mr. Lindberg has instructed me to take her back to Erihal. Do you know where she
is?”
“She has just escaped,” Charlotte replied, sounding a little dejected. “I couldn't catch up with her.”
“Seems like I've got more work to do then.” Sean sighed and continued, “Ms. Lindberg, there's no time to waste. I
need to continue looking for her. Please take care!”
With that, Sean led his men and left from the back gate.
“Hey!” Charlotte called out, but Sean left quickly and did not turn back.
Charlotte finally knew why Francesca had run away immediately after seeing her. It was because the woman knew
that Danrique was looking for her. She was afraid that she would be taken back to Erihal if she had left with
Charlotte.
However, Charlotte could not understand why Francesca had to hide from Danrique.
Didn't they make up already?
