Mr. Richard sighed deeply, wondering what edge Flora could possibly bring to the table. Sure, Flora was talented, but could she really outfox the wily veterans of the medical council? Feeling defeated, he just hoped not to lose too disgracefully. He instructed his secretary, "Call Dr. Ray, ask him to come over."

...

In the villa, Hudson was delirious with fever. His wounds kept getting infected, reducing him to a mere skeleton. Thankfully, Selene had left him some medicine to stabilize his condition. Otherwise, he would have already been dead. Was seeking Flora's help really the only option left? He couldn't swallow his pride. His wounds were courtesy of Flora, and now he had to beg her for help. But if he didn't ask Flora, he would die.

"Get Alexa in here!" he commanded. If it hadn't been for standing up for Alexa, he wouldn't be in this mess. Why should he suffer alone? Soon, his assistant brought Alexa in.

Hudson barked, "I don't care how you do it, but you must convince Flora to come and treat me! And remember, you must ask politely!"

Alexa's palms started to sweat. She hadn't expected Hudson to still insist on Flora treating him. Since Hudson was determined, she didn't argue, but did Flora really deserve such respect?

"Mr. Otto, Flora isn't powerful or influential. Getting her to treat you should be easy. Just have a couple of people bring her here by force if necessary."

"Do you have a death wish? Don't drag me into it!" Hudson's headache worsened from the fever, and his annoyance with Alexa grew. He lost all fondness for her. Alexa was puzzled, not understanding why Hudson seemed to fear Flora. But Hudson would never share such an embarrassing secret with her.

"Miss Zhao, I'm giving you one day. If you can't get Flora here by today..." His voice was hoarse and threatening, "You know I'm not known for my patience."

Alexa shivered involuntarily.
