Chapter 1438


    Thssa felt the anxious nces from ric and Hertha, but she didn''t let them distract her. Her


    gaze stayed firm and clear on Dr. Funke, showing her determination and poise.


    She wanted to make it clear to Dr. Funke that she had the leverage to ask for his help, but also the


    strength to walk away if needed.


    She was essentially gambling on Dr. Funke''s reluctance to let go of a promising apprentice and the


    potential romantic match Thssa was confident she could arrange for him.


    If she seemed too desperate, it might backfire, making her appear weak and powerless, the kind of


    person who easily got pushed around or rejected.


    But as someone strong and confident, showing genuine sincerity while also hinting at other options,


    she was more likely to seed.


    Dr. Funke fell silent, his usually yful demeanor turning grave as he stared at Thssa, almost as


    if he was about to get angry.


    The air around them grew tense and heavy.


    Thssa met Dr. Funke''s intense gaze, uncertain of his final decision.


    As time slowly passed, the atmosphere turned almost solid with anticipation, and Thssa''s


    heartbeat quickened, fearing Dr. Funke might send her away to seek help elsewhere.


    Truth be told, she had no one else to turn to. Dr. Funke was Lysander''sst hope.


    Zephyr had already exhausted all other options, and no other doctor could help Lysander.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Dr. Funke was the final chance for Lysander to awaken, and Thssa was terrified of losing that


    hope.


    In the midst of her escting anxiety, Dr. Funke burst outughing unexpectedly. "Well done, to


    have such spirit at such a young age, impressive."


    Seeing Dr. Funke''s unburdened smile, Thssa was momentarily stunned. "Dr. Funke, does this


    mean...?"


    ric and Hertha exchanged a nce, both filled with confusion.


    But when Hertha caught ric''s eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away, afraid


    her resolve to give up on him might crumble again under his enchanting gaze. After all, when


    Hertha got infatuated and impulsive, she could be quite unreliable.


    "Making a house call and getting so much in return, it''s worth more than a mountain of gold. I''d be a


    fool to refuse," Dr. Funke dered with a heartyugh.


    Hearing Dr. Funke''s agreement, a wave of joy surged through Thssa, but she managed to


    contain her excitement from bing too extravagant.


    Hertha was also ted, and she nced at ric, her eyes sparkling with happiness.


    With a flushed face from the wine, ric also showed a smile.


    Even though Dr. Funke hadn''t started treating Lysander yet, his agreement was already a victory in


    itself.


    "Great, I''ll bring the apprentice to you tomorrow," Thssa said, her words crisp and efficient as she


    mapped out the n. "Once the apprenticeship is formalized, you can start diagnosing and treating


    Lysander, and I''ll get started on introducing you to potential dates."


    "Sounds good, I live at Harmony Estates, Building 3, Suite 2003," Dr. Funke responded, ready to


    leave.


    ric quickly followed up. "Dr. Funke, let me arrange a ride for you."


    He knew Dr. Funke had his fill of drinks earlier.


    After ric and Dr. Funke left the restaurant, Hertha couldn''t contain her joy any longer. She


    grabbed Thssa''s arm and shrieked with excitement, "Ah, Thssa, you''re amazing! You


    convinced that entric Dr. Funke, and he agreed to treat Lysander! That’s a miracle!"
