“A thorough examination suggests that Ms. Avery's heart transplant was a success. Theoretically, her condition should be very stable. However, her emotional state has been fluctuating a lot lately. Also, I believe she is suffering from severe depression. All that repeated self-harm and medication has placed a huge amount of stress on her heart, which caused her to go into cardiogenic shock. It's incredibly difficult to treat such a condition with modern medicine, so I had to rely on traditional medicine to stabilize her. We'll still need to treat her with modern medicine, though. Given the severity of her condition, traditional medicine will only get us so far. I can use it to complement her previous treatment methods, but she really needs to stop hurting herself like this. Her body cannot take any more abuse. You need to first keep her emotions under control so that she will be willing to accept the treatment. We can then counsel her and teach her to value her life,” Francesca explained.
The first lady nodded with tears in her eyes. “Understood. Thank you for the suggestion. You've been most helpful.”
“You're welcome. I'll be taking my leave now,” Francesca said as she packed her things and got ready to leave.
The first lady quickly grabbed her by the arm and pleaded, “Could you please stay with us for the night? I'm worried that Avery might have another episode in the middle of the night. None of the doctors are able to do anything at the moment.”
“Honestly, it wouldn't make a huge difference even if I stayed. Having a few doctors around is good enough—”
The first lady cut her off anxiously, “But Avery's emotional state is highly unstable. What if she has a panic attack or something? Those doctors won't administer any medication for fear of it affecting her heart. If you stay, you could use those acupuncture needles on her, which is a lot safer since they don't have any unwanted effects on her heart.”
“That is true...” Francesca gave it some thought and nodded. “All right, I'll stay for the night. We'll monitor her condition throughout the night and decide the next course of action after that.”
“Great!” The first lady was overjoyed. “I'll have someone bring you to the guest room.”
“Thanks.”
“I'll stay with you, Ms. Felch. I could watch over Ms. Avery and wake you up if anything happens. That way, you'll be able to get a good night's sleep,” Monica suggested.
“All right.” Francesca didn't turn her offer down as she needed sufficient rest to perform well during treatment.
The first lady simply shot Monica a glance before having someone escort Francesca over to the guest room.
She even prepared rooms for Sloan and his subordinates.
