Chapter 667

Isla’s face stiffened. She had hoped to show her concern for Ricardo in

front of Franklin and make her presence felt. After all, she had been

having a rough time lately, almost always because of Sylvia. She never

thought that everything she did would be wrong, even caring for her

colleagues.

Her heart ached at the thought, but she maintained a polite smile on

her face and spoke with a hint of stiffness in her tone. "Master, I... I just

feel sorry for Ricardo. He has no children or spouse his whole life and

he is not well either. He really works hard at M16."

“I know how much Ricardo has contributed,” Franklin said flatly.

He didn't like Isla constantly chattering in his ear about this matter.

Ricardo was sick now and Isla wouldn't stop talking about it. So

annoying.

Finally, Isla fell silent and quietly retreated to the side.

The whole world became quiet again.

After half an hour, the doctor finally emerged from the emergency room.

"Doctor, how is the patient?" Franklin strode over to him while speaking

in a magnetic voice tinged with concern.

“The patient has been overworked due to prolonged experiments which

have caused severe radiation exposure and erosion on his body

leading to chronic headaches,” The doctor sighed heavily. "Once the

headache starts, it causes him unbearable pain and led him into

unconsciousness. He needs plenty of rest."

Franklin nodded understandingly. "When will he wake up?"

"Probably tomorrow morning. He needs to stay here for two days’

observation. He must take good care of himself as well as avoid any

strenuous activities even after leaving here.”

“I see." Franklin nodded again."Thank you very much, Doctor.”

The doctor turned around heavily sighing before walking away.

Franklin's heart sank little by little.

Ricardo was indispensable in developing new energy sources

especially electric power engineering where surplus value of electricity

was extremely high and needed to be converted.

If Ricardo’s health deteriorated further, then it would be a huge loss not

only for MI6 but also for new energy development as well.

Franklin began feeling quite worried about this situation causing himself

some headache too!

Jasper quietly walked up to him and whispered, "Master... how about

we ask Miss Andrews to come and take a look? Maybe she can save

Ricardo's damaged body."

Franklin raised an eyebrow and calmly glanced at Jasper. "I was just

thinking the same thing. Let's leave two people here with Ricardo, and

we'll head back to M16."

Upon hearing Jasper's words, Isla couldn't help but interject. "What can

Sylvia do? Last time in front of old Mr. Cantrell, she just took his pulse

or gave him medicine. Does she really have good medical skills?"

Franklin scanned her with a glance and felt that this woman was

becoming more foolish and noisy by the minute.

He thought of Ramiro who took RL 133 given by Sylvia but wasn't sure

if his condition had improved at all.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but pull out his phone as he walked

towards the elevator with Jasper while dialing Ramiro’s number.

It was River, Ramiro's apprentice who answered the phone call, saying,

"Hello, who is this?"

“It's me," Franklin introduced himself before asking eagerly, "Where is

your master?"

"My master has gone to bed; is there anything I can help you with?"

River wondered why Franklin called so late.

"How has his health been lately?"

"Since eating the medicine Miss Andrews gave, he looks much better,”

River replied happily before adding, "Thanks for Miss Andrews’ help!

My master wants to visit her tomorrow; does she have time?"

“Tomorrow... You'll have to ask her yourself," Franklin said respectfully

as he didn't want to make decisions on behalf of Sylvia without

consulting her first.

"Okay, then I will contact Miss Andrews early tomorrow morning.”

After hanging up the phone call, Franklin became even more

determined that he needed Sylvia's expertise in helping Ricardo

recover from his illness.

Sylvia had just returned from MI6 when she received a call from

Franklin asking if she had arrived home yet.

"I just got off my car. How are things going on your end?" She lazily

stepped into the moonlit courtyard while speaking on the phone

“I'm heading back right now," said Franklin in a cool tone. "Wait for me."

After hanging up the phone call, Sylvia went straight into her room.

She changed clothes, walked into the bathroom and intended to take a

hot shower with the shower head which made loud splashing sounds

when turned on.

When Franklin came in, he heard the sound of water rattling in the

bathroom.

The man raised his eyebrow without a word and began unbuttoning his

shirt collar with his slender fingers.

Meanwhile, Sylvia was taking a shower when suddenly the bathroom

door was pushed open from outside.
