Chapter 2193Chapter 2193 Extorted
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.”
novelbin“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.”
“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.”
