The next few days passed by without any incident.
Every morning, Francesca set out to the presidential palace to treat Avery. She would be back by afternoon to give treatment to William.
During each and every visit to the palace, both Gordon and Monica would escort her.
Gordon was Danrique's right-hand man and held an esteemed position. Even the first lady was polite to him and took him seriously.
As for Monica, she was like an assistant to Francesca. At the same time, she was also constantly observing their surroundings.
Four days had passed.
Avery's condition had stabilized completely.
Francesca knew exactly how to treat patients like her. Every time Avery woke up and was about to become hysterical, Francesca would insert a needle in her and put her to sleep once more.
The first lady was concerned and asked if that would affect Avery's health.
Francesca answered, “It will affect her to a certain extent. After all, if she keeps sleeping, she won't be able to consume any food. As such, her body will be quite weak. We can only sustain her using the IV drip. Then again, it's better than having her act up, isn't it?”
“Uh...”
The first lady did not know how to respond.
“Mrs. President, let's go outside for a while.”
“All right.”
Both Francesca and the first lady went to the study room.
Francesca went straight to the point. “Ms. Avery's treatment has entered a stable phase. All you have to do now is to engage a professional doctor to take over.”
“You don't wish to continue treating Avery anymore?” asked the first lady. “Is it too taxing for you? By the way, I have never discussed the remuneration with you. Please let me know how much you need. I'll issue a check right away.”
“Money's not the issue,” said Francesca. “I don't think it's right for me to create a hassle every time I enter the presidential palace. On top of that, Ms. Avery seems to get very agitated every time she sees me. This will affect her condition.”
