After the happy thought, Felicia suddenly remembered <b>that </b>she had forgotten to remind Stephan to stay safe when he lett earlier.
But it should be fine. He was bringing plenty of men along, and his skills were formidable enough for him to handle any trouble with ease.
Just as she was about to rx, another thought hit her. She should’ve packed some hemostatic medicine or Panax pseudo–ginthera for him. In case he got injured, they’de in handy,
Was this what it felt like to love someone? Was this the kind of evesting longing that would never really go <b>away</b>?
She inwardly chastised herself, but before she knew it, she <b>had </b>already blurted out the question in her mind, “How long will he be gone?
Stanley blinked, then quickly answered, “Ms. Russell, Mr. Russell said it’ll take at least <b>half </b>a month but might go up to a month.”
“okay” Felicia looked away and got into the car. “Let’s go. I need to go to the clinic.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Stanley had always been a steady driver. They arrived at the entrance of Union Clinic in just 20 minutes.
As soon as Felicia stepped inside, Kerry rushed up to her, holding two consultation request letters in his hands. He eagerly presented them and eximed<b>, </b>“Ms. Fuller, the consultation fees from these two clients are sky–high! Should we take them?”
Felicia took the letters and casually flipped through them. The first one had no signature or any indication of who had sent it. novelbin
How strange. Why would someonee seeking medical help but refuse to leave their name or details? <b>What </b>kind of <b>game </b>was this?
She had little patience for people who sought help while being secretive and evasive. She immediately tossed the letter back to Kerry, “Throw it in the <b>trash</b>. The second letter, however, bore <b>a </b>signature from the Russell family.
The Russell family from Seldvale?
She froze for a moment. Stephan had just left Khogend. If someone in the Russell family really needed medical attention, why wouldn’t he simply tell her? Did he think she’d refuse?
Examining the letter closely, she saw that the patient was Stephan’s elder sister, Imogen Russell.
The letter was quite eamest, exining that they had heard of a miraculous doctor at the clinic. They offered a sky–high consultation fee to treat Imogen’s eyes. Felicia paused <b>for </b>a moment, then called Stanley in to ask about it.
Stanley seemed surprised when he saw the consultation letter. He exined, “Ma’am, the letter is right. Ms. Russell really has been blind for nearly two decades.” “But…” Stanley hesitated before continuing, “Ms. Russell is currently pregnant. There’s no way she’d rush to treat her eyes at a time like this. At most, she might be looking for a consultation or seeking <b>advice </b>on whether recovery is possible
Felicia nodded. In other words, the letter might not have been sent by Imogen herself but by someone using her
her name.
If it was just a consultation, Felicia had no problem with that. However<b>, </b>she was worried that there might be some other schemes involved with the letter.
“Ms. Russell is a kind person. She’s gentle and good–tempered. It’s just a pity she can’t see. Over the years, Mr. Russell <b>has </b>been searching for famous doctors to treat her eyes,” Stanley said.
He hesitated for a moment, then decided to be fully transparent with Felicia, given her status. “Also… the reason Ms. Russell is blind has to do has always felt guilty about it.”
“What do you mean?” Felicia asked<b>. </b>
with Mr. Russell. He
Stanley sighed and briefly recounted the Russell family’s past. The gist of It was that the siblings, who lost their parents at a young age, had suttered years of bullying
<b>During </b>one particr plot against them, Imogen, who was already an adult at the time, shielded Stephan. <b>As </b><b>a </b>result, she lost her eyesight.
Felicia was deeply moved. She realized how little she truly knew about Stephan<b>. </b>
Beyond what she had seen and understood, his <b>past</b>, his struggles<b>, </b><b>and </b>his life–all of <b>it </b>remained a mystery to her.
She sighed The consultation fee was generous enough. With that being the case, she might as well take the trip Aftering to a decision, Stanley immediately volunteered to arrange the flight for her
