Sydney's face went pale, a stark shift from Corbyn's usual lukewarm, but never openly hostile, demeanor toward her. It seemed like Corbyn had started to grow tired of her presence.
"Alright, everyone, listen up!" Corbyn called out, motioning for the entire clinic to gather around. "Flora here is my newly adopted sister. In this clinic, she has the run of the place! When you see her, treat her as you would treat me!"
Sister?!
The entire clinic staff was in shock! They had expected Corbyn might take Flora on as an apprentice, but adopting her as a sister? That was a twist no one saw coming!
Sydney looked like she'd been struck by lightning. Sister???
"What are you all standing around for? Call her Ms. Flora!" Corbyn shouted, irritated by their stunned silence.
Finally, snapping out of their daze, everyone bowed to Flora, echoing, "Ms. Flora!"
They were still wrapping their heads around it. How could Corbyn, nearly a hundred years old, have a sister as young as Flora, who was just twenty? The world was truly crazy!
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me?" Corbyn's frown deepened as he noticed Sydney still hadn't moved.
"I…" Sydney bit her lip, struggling with the idea of respectfully calling Flora 'Ms. Flora.' It just seemed impossible!
But with Corbyn's eyes locked on her, she hesitantly muttered, "Ms. Flora!"
Her nails were digging into her palms.
Only then did Corbyn let her off the hook, turning to Flora with a softer tone. "Sister, if anyone here disrespects you or makes you unhappy, you have my blessing to put them in their place."
Now that Flora was his sister, he was determined to protect her! He'd worked hard to get Flora to visit the clinic, and he wasn't about to let a bunch of idiots ruin it.
"Got it." Flora was already used to the title, and she smiled a little, her eyes flickering over to Sydney, sending a chill down her spine.
