Chapter 1446

Dr. Funke glanced at the hand she had placed against the door, a smirk playing at the corner of his mouth. “Five minutes? What can you possibly fix in five minutes?”

“Thalassa gave her word she’d introduce you to an apprentice today, and she’s not one to break a promise. Dr. Funke, I get that you’ve only just met Thalassa and you aren’t quite familiar with her yet, but I can vouch for her character. There’s no need to doubt her integrity. How about a little trust?” Lydia, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, finally spoke up.

Dr. Funke’s demeanor towards Thalassa was a tad too stern, bordering on harsh. Even though he was a renowned physician, using the threat of withholding medical care to pressure someone else was beyond unreasonable.

The idea of a doctor demanding such preposterous conditions before agreeing to provide medical care, or using threats against a patient’s family, was unheard of to her.

Dr. Funke’s gaze shifted to Lydia, his expression unyielding, his eyes scrutinizing her. “And who might you be? Since when do you get a say here?”
