The Billionaire's Secret Quartet

Lydia spun around to see Dr. Funke and Astrid walking towards her.

Dr. Funke's face was grave, while Astrid wore a gentle smile that exuded warmth and kindness, putting anyone at ease.

Lydia quickly dropped her fierce demeanor and respectfully replied to Dr. Funke, "Master, it's nothing."

Ethan stepped forward and addressed Dr. Funke, "Dr. Funke, I came here seeking treatment from your apprentice, but she tried to kick me out. Not only that, she threatened to hit me. Is this how your clinic treats its patients?" Lydia shot Ethan a look of astonishment. How dare he play the victim?

Dr. Funke turned to Lydia with a stern expression, "I taught you from day one to treat all patients equally. How could you refuse a patient and even threaten them?"

Lydia felt wronged, but before she could explain, Dr. Funke continued, "It looks like he's the only patient left. Go ahead and see to him. Your Aunt Astrid and I are going for a walk."

Lydia had grown close to Thalassa and, by extension, also referred to Astrid affectionately as "Aunt."

Without waiting for a response, Dr. Funke left the clinic with Astrid in tow.
