Naturally, Gwendolyn wasn't about to say no to that. “Oh, yes! Eddy tells me your cooking is on par with international chefs. Come on, let's go! I want you to teach me a thing or two!”

Bailey flashed Cadence another smile when she passed him by before entering the kitchen with Gwendolyn.

It'll be too late for regrets, then.”

It has only been three years, so I highly doubt that Cadence has made any significant progress in his medical skills. Although the condition of that end-stage patient he treated was worse than Old Mr. Chivers', the fact that he died on the operating table proves there is something wrong with Cadence's methods.
