Chapter 1433


    ric was Lysander''s good friend, and he was determined to y his part in helping Lysander’s recovery.


    Thssa knew how eager ric was to help, but her confidence was on shaky ground. What if ric couldn’t persuade Dr.


    Funke toe on board?


    The desperation to get Dr. Funke to treat Lysander was eating Thssa up. Just yesterday, Lysander had started showing signs


    of improvement. If they could keep the momentum going, he might wake up soon.


    But time was a fickle friend. If they missed this chance, who knew when Lysander might show another sign of life?


    They simply couldn''t let this window of opportunity close on them.


    With a sense of urgency in her voice, Thssa said, “We need to suss out where ric and his crew hang out for dinner. We''ll


    book the private dining room next to theirs. If ric can’t seal the deal, we''ll be there to cut Dr. Funke off at the pass.”


    “But what if Dr. Funke refuses? Cornering him might not change his mind,” Hertha pointed out.


    Thssa’s eyes hardened with resolve. “I''ll make sure he agrees to treat Lysander.”


    Hertha was swept up by Thssa’s unwavering gaze and found her own determination bolstered.


    “| love that confidence! I''ll get the scoop right now. And if Dr. Funke ys hardball, | swear I''ll drag him to Royal Estates myself!”


    Infused with righteous indignation, Hertha whipped out her phone and shot a message to ric.


    ric responded immediately.


    Hertha excitedly shared the details to Thssa, “5:30 PM at the Emerald Restaurant, the Harmony Room.”


    “Perfect, I''ll take care of things this afternoon then,” Thssa said, standing to leave.


    “Don''t go alone, wait for me,” Hertha reminded her.


    That afternoon, Thssa and Hertha arrived at the Emerald Restaurant together on time.


    Following a waiter, they were about to slip into the private room when they heard voices near the entrance.


    “Dr. Funke, | hear you''re back in the game not just to heal, but to scout out some fresh talent,” ric''s voice floated through the


    air.


    “You''ve done your homework, Mr. Falconer. Every practitioner dreams of finding a sessor. I’m no different,” Dr. Funke


    admitted without reservation.


    “Quick, let''s get inside,” Thssa urged in a low voice, pushing Hertha into the neighboring room of the Harmony Room to avoid


    being seen. They were there as a backup n in case ric failed to convince Dr. Funke, not to sabotage ric’s efforts.


    Thssa and Hertha quickly slipped into the private room next door while ric and Dr. Funke were led by the waiter into the


    Harmony Room.


    ric was the epitome of courtesy as he handed the menu to Dr. Funke. “You''re the man of the hour. You do the honors.”


    “You''ve got a different style from the other suits I’ve met,” Dr. Funke chuckled.

    “Dr. Funke, are you still willing to work with me?” ric furrowed his brows, sensing that he may not have won the doctor over


    entirely.
