Seeing the doctor hesitate for a moment, Felicity totally understood. After all, this was the Lopez family's private physician. She was probably worried about being held responsible if anything went wrong-which, honestly, made perfect sense.

So Felicity jumped in quickly, "Hey, don't worry. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility. I promise, you won't get dragged into it."

The doctor waved her off with a smile. "Thanks for understanding. Alright, I'll do as you say. The results won't take long. I'll take your blood sample and head back to my office. Give me about half an hour, and I'll text you."

"Great!" Felicity nodded, rolled up her sleeve, and let the doctor draw her blood without any fuss.

Dorothy smiled, shaking her head. "You've grown up so much, you know that? When did you learn to hide being sick just so your parents wouldn't worry?" Her eyes softened.
