Her Mysterious Mogul Hubby (Charlotte and Zachary)

Chapter 2297

William turned serious. “War is brutal and cruel. The ones who lose not only risk their own life but the

lives of their family and loved ones. Why else do you think Donald made peace with you at the most

crucial moment? It's because he was well aware of this principle!”

After a brief pause, he continued, “I know Ms. Layla's death is devastating to you, but you have to

understand that one person's death is insignificant in the big picture. Otherwise, more people will die...”

“So what you're saying is”—Francesca finally understood—”Danrique should sacrifice Mr. Lincoln for

the greater good?”

“I'm sorry. I know you must be incredibly upset with what I've just said, but that's how reality works.”

William's tone became gentle. “At a time like this, you can't do anything else anymore. The best thing Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

that you can do is to stay in S Nation to recuperate and wait for more news.”

“I understand.”

Not knowing what else to say, Francesca could only lower her head dejectedly.

“Francesca, you must listen to me this time. Do not be rash. Otherwise, you could really make things

worse,” William reminded. “I won't disturb you any longer. Good night and rest well!”

Francesca's grip tightened around the phone in her hand. She was feeling so lost.

“Francesca, what Prince William said makes sense,” Anthony said softly. “Stop thinking too much about

it. You should be focusing on resting and recovering.”

“Okay.”

Without saying another word, Francesca headed into her room with her phone in her hand.

As she passed by Layla and Lincoln's room, the memory of the three of them being a loving family

flooded back into her mind. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart. If I hadn't met Danrique, if we

hadn't ended up together, maybe all of this wouldn't have happened. Ms. Layla and Mr. Lincoln might

still be here...

Danrique could feel his ears burning then. He wondered if Francesca was cursing him.

But as he thought about it, he was willing to be cursed by her if it meant that she would feel better after

doing so.

Lounging on the sofa, he turned his gaze toward the snow outside as he yearned for Francesca.

He had no idea how long the war would last or when it would end.

All he knew was that he missed her deeply and wanted to see her as soon as possible.

Time passed quickly as the couple continued to yearn for each other.

Seven days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Francesca had already recovered. Every day, she would check her phone, waiting for Danrique to call.

But to her disappointment, he never did.

On the other hand, William would call her every day, comforting her and updating her about the

situation.

As of then, Danrique and the president were at a standstill, waiting for the other to break from the

tension.

Dirt on the president was still spiraling around, but for the past few days, the discussion and rumors

seemed to have settled temporarily ever since the president got shot.

People started to share the stories about all the past charities that the president was involved in on the

internet, painting him as a good person.

Coupled with the photos of him getting shot and fighting for his life in the hospital, the president had

gained a huge surge of sympathy from the public.

Either way, Lincoln's shot had become a turning point for the president.

The council members had hired ghostwriters to initiate a rumor saying that the first lady's actions were

all her own and that the president had nothing to do with it. Updated at Draмąոоvels.cоm

In the video, he was visibly pained and ridden with regret.

At the same time, he showed the world that he was a good and selfless president, sacrificing his family

for the sake of his country and responsibility.
