Chapter 213: Kellan turned to Floyd, his gaze steady.

Hows Lorna doing lately? Floyds stiff demeanor softened at the question, a faint smile curving his lips.

Shes responding well to the treatment.

Shes not as guarded around me anymore.

Shes a sweet girl.

Despite the simmering tension between them, any mention of patients brought out Floyds professional and composed nature.

His tone lightened considerably as they discussed his work.

Im confident Lornas condition will continue to improve, Floyd added.

Kellans expression softened at the mention of his niece.

Thank you, Mr.

Pierce.

Even though the two men rarely saw eye-to-eye, Kellan respected Floyds medical expertise and patience.

He knew all too well how much Lorna had resisted contact from others.

The fact that she had opened up to Floyd spoke volumes about his dedication and skill.

This is just my job, Mr.

Lloyd.

No need to make such a fuss, Floyd replied with a modest smile.

The sharp atmosphere between them seemed to dissipate, as if the earlier friction had never existed.

Ill make sure to repay you properly for Lornas treatment and for today… Kellans brows furrowed slightly.

Allison, who had been listening quietly, interjected with a mischievous grin.

Lloyd.
