Unexpectedly, Danrique did not get upset. After giving some orders to the doctor and reminding Sean to wait for Gordon to return before ending his shift, he left the ward.
Later on, Sean needed to go consult the doctor. So, he gave Mylo and Sloan a stern warning. “Take good care of Ms. Felch, and don't let anything untoward happen to her if you want to live to see another day.”
“Okay, okay. Don't worry, Sean.” Mylo nodded fervently. “I'll protect Ms. Felch with all my life.”
Sean then fixated his gaze on Sloan who was tiptoeing to peep on Francesca from outside the ward.
Mylo smacked Sloan's back. Upon coming to his senses, Sloan promised at once, “Rest assured that I won't make any more mistakes, Sean. Anyhow, Dr. Felch is severely injured. She can't go anywhere, can she?”
Indeed, he's right about the last part of the sentence.
Sean rolled his eyes at him before leaving to see Helen.
In the evening, Norah wiped Francesca down and served her a glass of warm milk. “Rest well, Ms. Cece. I’ll bring you breakfast first thing in the morning.” She was reluctant to leave her side.
“Thank you, Mdm. Norah.” Francesca watched her exit the ward.
Then, she turned to the two medical staff who were guarding the ward after cleaning it up.
“Feel free to leave too. I'm going to get some shut-eye.”
Right before she snoozed, she was interrupted by the knocking on the door. “Ms. Cece, may I come in?”
It was Sean.
“Sure.” Francesca was having a slight headache.
Sean walked in with a couple of documents in his hands, followed by a cautious Sloan.
“Ms. Cece.. Oh no, I should address you as Dr. Felch.”
