Chapter 571


    Reba woke up to her housekeeper''s announcement, "Mr. Francis is already here."


    It had been arranged that Francis would take her for an eye check-up today.


    With a little help, Reba made her way to the living room and greeted him with a reserved smile, "Good morning, Mr. Francis."


    Francis just nodded slightly as he made himselffortable on the couch, barely acknowledging her.


    Reba thought, "Not this again... What do I do now? Maybe I should start a conversation?"


    Right when she was feeling like a fish out of water, Sherilyn arrived.


    "Sherilyn!" Reba felt a wave of relief wash over her.


    "Hey, Reba," Sherilyn walked briskly towards her, linking arms. "Sorry, couldn''t make itst night."


    "It''s alright," Reba reassured her, ncing towards the couch. "Thankfully, Mr. Francis took care of everything."


    "Yeah." Sherilyn smiled at Francis. "Francis, sorry for the trouble again."


    "Nothing." Francis'' response was as brief as ever.


    He stood up and headed out, signaling Sherilyn to follow.


    "Sherilyn..." ." Reba whispered anxiously, "Do you think Mr. Francis is upset with me?"


    "Why would you think that?" Sherilyn whispered back, ncing at Francis'' retreating figure.


    "Well..." Reba''s eyes widened, "Since waking up yesterday, I''ve been the only one talking. He hasn''t said anything back to me... Well, except for ''mm-hmm.'' Does he find me annoying? I know I''ve been a handful."


    Sherilyn almostughed, "No way, Francis is just like that, a man of few words."


    "Really?" Reba seemed relieved, patting her chest. "That''s good. I was worried I was bothering him too much."


    Sherilyn reassured her, "Francis is the kindest person I know."


    "Is that so?" Reba tilted her head,

    After a thorough examination, the doctor offered hope for Reba''s condition.


    "Sherilyn!" Reba was overjoyed, clutching Sherilyn''s hand.


    "That''s great news," Sherilyn shared in her joy.


    The doctor nced at Francis, "Mr. Johnson, the schedule is pretty tight. It''s hard to fit in new patients."


    Francis, always the gentleman,


    replied, "Let''s schedule her for the


    first slot in two months. Of course, if


    Takinges up sooner, we''ll


    take it. Is that okay?"


    Agreeing to wait, they appreciated Francis'' gentle approach.


    Leaving the hospital, Reba genuinely thanked Francis, "Mr. Francis, I can''t thank you enough."


    He nced at her, "Mm."


    Reba pouted slightly, squeezing Sherilyn''s hand, whispering, "See?"
