After ending the call, Francesca looked for Sloan and asked about Gordon's progress.
Sloan told Francesca that he was about to report to her that Gordon had already found Dr. Felch.
However, Dr. Felch refused to leave the mountain. Now, Gordon was trying his best to persuade him.
After Francesca heard that, she felt both excited and uneasy.
They found Dr. Felch. Will he come down from the mountain? What if Gordon reveals my identity by mistake?
Upon that thought, Francesca hurriedly asked Sloan to call Gordon. She wanted to remind him personally.
So, Sloan quickly called Gordon on his phone.
It took a while for the call to be connected. “Hello!”
“Gordon, Ms. Felch wants to have a word with you.”
Then, Sloan handed his phone over to Francesca.
Gordon greeted her, “Ms. Fel—” However, Francesca cut him off and said, “Is there anyone beside you?"
“I'm at Dr. Felch's house now,” he responded.
“Go to the backyard. Don't let anyone hear you,” Francesca said immediately.
“Okay.” Gordon went to the backyard with his phone. “Ms. Felch, there's no one around now. Please go ahead.”
Francesca asked reluctantly, “So, you saw Dr. Felch?”
“Yes,” Gordon reported. He continued, “I'm trying my utmost to persuade him to leave the mountain. However, Dr. Felch is adamant about staying put. Also, he said that he hadn't performed an operation in many years, so I should look for someone else.”
“Did you tell him about my identity?”
Again, Francesca cut him off and asked anxiously.
“I only told him the patient is Mr. Lindberg's fiancee. As per your instruction, I told him about your condition and age. And that there's no medical record. I didn't tell him anything else other than these.”
Gordon became vigilant and glanced
at the cabin.
