Chapter 1542


    Astrid was fuming, her cheeks flushed with frustration. Meanwhile, Thssa was doing her utmost. rushing from one hospital to another to ensure


    Astrid received the best care. Thankfully, Astrid''s condition was showing signs of improvement.


    But Dr. Funke''sment, especially made in front of Thssa, was like rubbing salt in the wound. How could he be so insensitive?


    With a sidelong nce at Astrid, Dr. Funke coolly stated, "I never misjudge a situation.”


    "Oh,e on... You..." Astrid was at a loss for words, ready to give Dr. Funke a piece of her mindN?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Thssa quickly stood up, gently taking Astrid by the arm, soothing her, "Auntie, please, don''t get worked up. Have a seat and rx for a bit.”


    She helped her aunt to a chair by the dining table.


    Then, turning to Dr. Funke, she said, "Dr. Funke, this is my aunt. She just dropped by to deliver some documents for me. Please, take a seat. The


    lady you''re supposed to meet for the blind date hasn''t arrived yet."


    It was then Dr. Funke realized his mistake; the person in front of him wasn''t his blind date but Thssa''s aunt.


    But apologizing was not something Dr. Funke was known for. Without a word, he took a seat at the table.


    Thssa poured some coffee for Dr. Funke and her aunt, trying to make small talk to lighten the mood


    She could sense the tension between her aunt and Dr. Funke, so she tried to defuse the situation by mentioning the woman Dr. Funke was supposed


    to meet still hadn''t shown up for their 10 o''clock appointment.


    She also thanked her aunt for delivering the documents, saving her from beingte, knowing well that Dr. Funke detested tardiness.


    "Thanks to my aunt, I didn''t have to go back for these documents. Dr. Funke, perhaps you could''ve reviewed Adide''s information beforehand?"


    Thssa suggested, handing over the documents to Dr. Funke, hoping he''d be a bit nicer to her aunt.


    Dr. Funke flipped through the documents without responding to Thssa or acknowledging Astrid, maintaining his aloof demeanor.


    Thssa caught her aunt''s displeased look and gave her a reassuring nce, signaling her not to take it to heart.
