"Realizing your mistakes, what good does that do? Can it undo the damage done to her health?" Dr. Funke said with a weight in his voice.

"Come on, Thalassa has already admitted her fault. Why keep badgering her? That's on you. Besides, Thalassa isn't a doctor. 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.

She was treading lightly, not wanting to offend Dr. Funke, but what he said next took her by complete surprise.

"Right, she's not a doctor. She doesn't know how to care for someone. But I am a doctor, and from now on, I'll be taking care of Astrid. I'll make sure her health improves!"

Dr. Funke wasn't just speaking out of anger; his tone sounded like a promise!
