The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Chapter 1447

Someone had gone to check on Hertha, so there was no rush for Thalassa now. She could take her time resolving Dr. Funke’s issue before heading to the hospital.

After hanging up the call, Thalassa walked back to the entrance where Dr. Funke stood waiting. “I mentioned yesterday that I’d recommend someone disciplined and quick to learn as your apprentice. Lydia isn’t just self-controlled. She also follows the rules to a tee and learns fast. She checks all the boxes,” she said with a hint of pride.

It was Thalassa’s way of saying she kept her promise. She really had found a suitable apprentice for Dr. Funke.

“Ha, I doubt many can endure such a tough mentor,” Lydia quipped, giving Dr. Funke a sidelong glance with a light chuckle.

“Don’t go claiming mentors left and right. I’m not your mentor yet,” Dr. Funke retorted with a bit of a snarl.

“As for you,” Lydia snorted derisively, “a doctor who’s all about the bottom line, nitpicking and intimidating. Treating patients with threats? I’d never stoop to acknowledge someone like you as my mentor!”

“Lydia, don’t speak to Dr. Funke like that.” Thalassa interjected, seeing the argument between Lydia and Dr. Funke escalate. She was a bundle of nerves, worried that Lydia’s words would provoke Dr. Funke into outright refusing to treat Lysander. She feared nothing more than Lysander missing his timely chance for treatment.

If swallowing her pride and groveling could secure Dr. Funke’s services for Lysander, she’d do it without a second thought.
