"That's nice of you." Zayn was grateful. "Thank you."
Ignoring him, Freda strode toward Carla.
"I thought rumor has it that the legendary Mr. Giblo has an icy personality?" a female bodyguard asked under her breath. "It doesn't seem so to me."
"Ms. Lierger has tamed him." A smug settled upon Freda's face. "No matter how high and mighty he is toward others, he behaves himself in front of Ms. Lierger."
"Hahaha, that's a wonderful payback; fair enough as the Giblos aren't nice to Ms. Lierger."
"Precisely!"
When Freda got to the clinic, Dr. Feroma had already examined Venus and prescribed her medication. After instructing Hapilia to prepare the medicine daily, he turned to Carla. "Let me check on you now."
"No rush." Carla thought about Rogan. "I have a subordinate who was shot when she tried to protect me. Can you see her first?"
"Absolutely." Dr. Feroma explained, "Gunshot is one of the easiest things to treat. As long as it didn't hurt her vitals, she will be fine upon following my prescription."
"Thank you so much." Carla commanded, "Bring Dr. Feroma to see Rogan immediately."
"Duly noted. Dr. Feroma, this way please."
With that, Dr. Feromaleft with Sam, leaving Hapilia in the clinic to take care of Venus.
Carla told Freda, "The maids and the bodyguards at home don't have any medical knowledge. Go and arrange for some reliable medical staff to relieve the burdens of Hapilia and Sam."
"Okay, I'll do that right away." Freda nodded. Right before she left, Carla asked, "Is that person still around?"
"Yes." Freda glanced at Venus who was dozing off on the bed. She continued, "He's been waiting in the living room for over an hour."
"I'll take a look."
When Carla arrived at the living room, she saw Zayn there, sipping tea. She questioned coldly, "Why are you still here?"
"Has Dr. Feroma seen Venus? What did he say?" Zayn got up and walked toward Carla.
"The check-up is done. He has also prescribed medicines to be taken daily, " Carla replied indifferently.
"How long does it take for her to be completely cured?" Zayn was anxious.
"This is just the beginning. Dr. Feroma won't indicate a specific time frame." Carla said solemnly, "It may take a while for the medicines to take effect. We shall see."
"True." Zayn nodded. "I have full trust in Dr. Feroma's skills. We need to believe in him."
"Yup, " Carla consoled herself the same way too.
"I see that you might need a hand at the clinic. Should I send more people over?" Zayn tried to find a new topic to talk to her.
"No, thanks. You can leave now." Carla showed no intention to engage in further conversation with him. She turned to walk upstairs.
"Venus will cry if she doesn't see me when she wakes up." Zayn stopped her. "And Josh will be disappointed too. Randy may look calm, but he's just pretending."
"So, your point is?" Carla shot him an unfriendly stare.
"I think…" He observed her facial expression before continuing. "I should stay here during the course of the treatment. I won't trouble you. In addition, I'll pay for rent and food…"
"Go away!" Carla bellowed.
"Is that how you treat your guest?" Zayn was determined to get what he wanted. "The kids will be so sad to see you treat me like this."
"How audacious of you to even suggest that, Zayn Giblo!" Carla was livid. "When I was in your house, how did your family treat me? I can let it slide for the sake of the children, but you're being too much now. Stop being a thick-skin and leave at once, or I'll have my bodyguard shoo you away."
"I'm prioritizing the kids. Don't you want Venus to get well sooner?" Zayn added, "She feels better when she looks at me. In turn, this will aid her recovery. Ask Dr. Feroma if you don't believe me."
