He paused briefly. “Alright, we’ll talk more when we meet.”

Madison blinked in confusion. “Wait. What’s going on?”

“The call was from Mr. Zeller. He said Theodore has woken up!”

“Really? That’s great news!” She beamed. “But why are you thanking Dr. Jefferson?”

Joli explained, “Mr. Zeller said Dr. Jefferson arranged for Theodore to be transferred to a hospital in the city and brought in specialists to consult on his case. Amazingly, he regained consciousness without even needing surgery.”

Miranda looked at Paul in surprise. “When did you arrange this?”
