Elliot turned his head and gave Rey a dirty look, signaling the latter to shut up.

Anastasia was visibly stunned; inwardly, she was incredibly moved. He’s done so much behind the scenes for my dad’s condition, she thought. “Thank you so much,” she said.

looking at the specialists standing before Francis’ bed, she felt even more reassured. These people are probably leading medical authorities from different hospitals, so this guy must have done a lot of things for them to show up in Dad’s ward together.
