Even until then, Federico still hadn’t said a word to William, and William didn’t bother throwing him a glance either.
It was as if they were strangers instead of grandfather and grandson.
“The medical standards in Danontand are quite bad, it seems!” Danrique exclaimed while holding his glass of wine.
“The last time I saw him, he was in high spirits. Although he had trouble with his legs, he was still elegant and
graceful. That’s not the case now.”
“His illness kept relapsing, and it never got better.” Federico looked broken-hearted. “I’ve gotten a lot of famous
doctors for him, but none of them could make him better. Francesca is good, though. Maybe she’s going to cure
him.”
“Well, the legendary Francesco is bound to live up to her name.” Danrique added proudly, “When I was poisoned
back then, she was the only one who could cure me.”
“I see…” Federico seemed surprised. “When I heard she was Francesco, I couldn’t believe my ears. After all, she’s
so young. Who would’ve thought she had such impressive medical skills? I believe it now, though. If something were
to happen to me in the future, I’ll turn to you guys for help, okay? I hope you won’t turn me down then!”
“Your Majesty, you’re in good health, and you look energetic. I doubt you’ll ever need it.” Danrique flashed a faint
smile. “William, on the other hand, is terribly sick. You’re worried, aren’t you, Your Majesty? After all, blood is thicker
than water.”
“Of course, I’m worried.” Federico nodded profusely. “He’s my grandson and—”
“In that case, let me bring him back for treatment,” Danrique interrupted. “In a few months’ time, your grandson
will be in good health.”
“If you would be kind enough to do that, I would be extremely grateful, Danrique.” Federico raised his glass and
said, “I’ll need to trouble you, then!”
“It’s no trouble at all. All you need to do is pay the medical fee for William,” Danrique uttered.
“Huh?” Federico was stunned. What is he getting at?
“Well, Francesca demands a high fee, and it could be as much as hundreds of millions in M Nation’s currency,”
Danrique answered with a straight face. “Before this, William has been paying for the fees on his own. Since he’s
now under your care, you should pay for him, no? After all, he’s your grandson.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Haha! Sure! I’ll do that.” Federico nodded right away. He then instructed Silas, “Transfer the amount to Danrique.”
“Oh! Don’t do that,” Danrique responded. “That woman of mine is rather materialistic. What’s mine is hers, and
what’s hers is still hers. I think you should just transfer the amount to her. I wouldn’t dare to receive the money!”
“All right, then. I’ll transfer the money to Francesca!” Delighted, Silas bowed.
“You’re on cloud nine, aren’t you?”
“I am!”
An hour later, Danrique was about to bring Francesca, William, and Monica out of the palace.
While sending them off, Federico told William to take care of himself and get well soon without troubling Danrique
further.
William responded politely and respectfully. It seemed as though he was on good terms with Federico.
Right then, Danrique teased, “It’s no trouble at all, Your Majesty. Since you’ve already paid the hefty medical fee,
it’s now our duty to take care of him.”
“That’s right.” Francesca beamed from ear to ear. “Thank you for the payment, Your Majesty. I’ll do everything I
can to cure William. Don’t worry!”
“All right. Thank you.” Federico smiled and nodded.
“By the way, the people in William Castle were poisoned. They haven’t gotten treatment yet, right? Should I help
them?” Francesca asked in a serious tone.
“If you have time for it, that would be great!” Federico smiled.
“How about the fee?” Francesca deliberately dragged out the last word of the sentence.
“The palace will pay it off, of course.” Federico knew what she meant. “How much do you require? I’ll get Silas to
transfer the money to you right away.”
“Eight hundred million to a billion will do,” Francesca replied quickly. “Since we know each other so well, I’ll give you
a discount.”
