How was she supposed to know how to care for someone already in frail health? I she knew how to take care, wouldn't she have done so already?" Lydia defended Thalassa, firing back at Dr. Funke.

Dr. Funke shot her a glance, "An ungrateful viper."

"I've only known you for a few months through the medical community. Thalassa and I, we've been thick as thieves since we were kids. You think that compares?" Lydia retorted.

Thalassa, standing by, felt her heart sink, nervously tugging at Lydia's sleeve, signaling her to stop before Dr. Funke got angrier.
