Chapter 890

In the quiet hours of the clinic's closing time, the presence of Ludwik, a figure of imposing stature and undeniable grace, immediately captivated the attention of the reception nurses. His appearance was so striking, his features so perfectly chiseled, that for a moment, they were all entranced, their gazes fixed upon him. Yet, the air of authority and slight intimidation that he carried with him caused a momentary pause in their steps.

"Yes, Dr. Jones, he's right there," the child replied, pointing toward Ludwik.
