Charmaine assisted Emyr with the needle, using the moment to discreetly check his pulse as he rested with his eyes shut.

He slowly opened his eyes halfway, fixing a serious gaze on her.

“How is it?” he inquired after a brief pause.

Charmaine set his hand down gently. “Your cold–related illness is showing improvement. You should continue with the medicinal baths, and in a few months, you should recover about 80% to 90%.

“Alright.”

Just as Emyr was about to speak again, the phone on the table rang.

He glanced at the screen and said. “Can you answer that for me?”

The caller ID showed an unknown number.

Charmaine had no choice but to pick up. “Hello, Mr. Emyr is currently unavailable to take calls.”

Veronica, who had been eagerly waiting to hear Emyr’s voice, felt an instant wave of disappointment, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

Hearing the heavy breathing on the other end, Charmaine knew the person was still listening. So, she repeated herself, “He’s not able to speak right now. If there’s something important, you can relay the message to him for me.”

Veronica clutched the fabric of her clothing tightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she finally spoke. “Charmaine, it’s Veronica. I need to speak with Mr. Emyr.”
