Chapter 1864
“You always say that, but you never follow through.
”
Saul felt powerless to change Hannah’s habits.
He instructed her, “Every night before bed, apply the medicinal drops.
It has to be every single day.
”
“Okay.
I’ll remember.
”
“Starting tomorrow, you should drink this medicinal soup for a while.
It’s been enhanced with an additional herb that’s beneficial for your eyes.
”
Handing her the bowl, Saul added, “I supervised its preparation.
Try the soup first.
”
Hannah lifted the bowl to her nose and inhaled.
With a frown, she said, “That’s ginseng.
It may not actually benefit my eyes.
It seems more like a comfort thing.
”
Saul’s eyes widened.
“Just drink it.
You’re the patient here.
You need to follow my advice.
”
“Alright.
Hannah downed the soup quickly, her face contorting at the taste.
“This medicine is too bitter.
”
Saul handed her a piece of candy, teasing, “You’re a top doctor, and yet you complain about the bitterness?”
Hannah unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth.
“How can it be the same? The bitterness is still there, even for a top doctor.
It’s not like I lose my sense of taste.
”
Saul laughed and cautioned her, “Be careful these days.
Avoid alcohol and don’t mix other medicines.
”
“Understood.
”
After Saul departed, Hannah was caught up on some sleep when her phone rang.
Hannah pressed the answer button and brought the phone to her ear.
“Hello?”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“I might be heading back soon.
”
Recognizing Maloney’s voice, Hannah raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you returning so soon?”
“I’ve been away for a month.
There’s been an issue with the Pierce family.
I need to return to handle it.
”
With a light smile, Hannah teased, “Is someone threatening your position in the Pierce family?”
A brief silence followed.
After a pause, Hannah asked seriously, “Did I guess right?”
“Close enough.
”
Maloney’s tone was more somber as he explained, “I’ve expanded our business operations in Cadilind significantly.
This has made some people so nervous they can’t wait to see me replaced.
They’re worried that if I return later, I’ll be even more entrenched, and they’ll be less able to challenge me.
I’ve spoken with the head of the Compton family and managed to hold off their schemes for now.
But if I don’t return soon, I’m not sure what underhanded tactics they might resort to.
”
Hannah understood the predicament Maloney was in and responded, “Okay.
You should head back.
”
After a moment, Maloney asked, “Do you want to return with me?”
