Chapter 672

However, she didn't have the mood or time to argue with Isla here. She

glanced at the time and walked over to Ricardo's bedside, starting to

remove the needles.

After removing all of the thin and long silver needles from Ricardo's

head, she put away the needles. She said to Franklin, "He may wake

up in about ten minutes.”

Franklin nodded his head and gave a cold glare towards Isla, who was

disgusting and annoying.

He used to think that her computer skills were excellent when she was

one of the top candidates for employment.

However, he did not expect her arrogance and conceit now. She

completely disregarded Sylvia.

But Isla had not made any fundamental mistakes yet; MI6 would not be

so ruthless as to eliminate someone who had contributed for several

years just because of personal issues.

He suppressed his displeasure towards Isla. “Isla, have you finished

everything in the technical department? You actually have time to waste

here.”

"Master Franklin, Ricardo will wake up in a few minutes. I want to wait

until he wakes up before I go back," said Isla.

Isla wasn't stupid; she naturally heard Franklin trying to get rid of her.

But the more he repelled her like this, the more she wanted to stay

here. The more she didn't want Sylvia to stay alone with him.

She was extremely jealous and bitter.

Her eyes were filled with pleading as she said, "Let me see Ricardo

safely awaken before leaving.”

If someone didn't know better, they would think that they had a deep

friendship.

Upon hearing this statement from Isla, Franklin became annoyed

inside. "Do what you want.”

Logan also noticed Islas hostility towards Sylvia, so he leaned over

next Sylvia, asking, "Boss, when are you going back to Larro?"

“In a few more days," replied Sylvia as she put away her phone. Since

Cody's case hadn't progressed yet, she couldn't leave Urgford right

now .

Just then after about ten minutes passed by, Ricardo still lay quietly on

his hospital bed without any signs of waking up.

Everyone waited silently without making any noise.

Isla couldn't hold it anymore, she spoke first, "Miss Andrews, could it be

possible that your diagnosis is wrong? Why hasn't Ricardo woken up

yet?"

"Or is it possible... that you simply don't know how to give acupuncture

properly?"

"How could someone as young as you possibly know how give

acupuncture?"

Logan was irritated by what Isla said. "You bitch! Can't you keep your

mouth shut? You've been chattering all day long, and now dare

question my boss’ abilities.”

Isla had never been treated so rudely by a man before, and she was

completely stunned. She stared at Logan in disbelief.

“You... you're a big CEO, how can you be so vulgar? You..."

It completely overturned her perception of the Longevity

Pharmaceuticals’ CEO.

She looked a little depressed at Franklin and asked, "Master... how

could he treat me like this?"

Franklin sneered, “Isla, Mr. Mertens is being too kind to you. I would

rather have Jasper throw you out.”

Isla felt as if she had been struck by lightning and looked heartbroken

with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Master... I've still worked here for so long. Do you have to treat me like

this just because of her?"

"She's the head of MI6," Franklin's voice was full of endless coldness.

"You questioned the head of MI6 just now; you know what punishment

you'll receive. Go back and receive your punishment.”

Isla bit her lip uncomfortably with tears but no one present seemed to

care about her.

Just then, Ricardo coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention

towards him.

He sat up slowly holding onto the edge of his bed.

After his vision cleared up, Ricardo smiled at Sylvia, saying, "That was

great! For years now I've never felt as relaxed as today! My head feels

especially comfortable.”

Franklin visibly relaxed upon hearing that statement.

"Glad it worked out for you, Ricardo; seems like acupuncture has its

benefits.”

“I'll come tomorrow again for another treatment.” Sylvia nodded, then

pointed towards some medicine on the bedside table, "Just follow

instructions on these pills; they're effective medicine that will benefit

your body"

"Thank you!" Ricardo laughed, feeling grateful.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, they left an attendant

nurse behind to look after Ricardo while Sylvia walked out alongside

Franklin followed by Logan and Jasper.

Isla was left alone without anyone caring about her. She had no choice

but to catch up with them in frustration.

Ricardo watched Isla's retreating figure, squinting slightly. He felt that

Isla would cause more trouble anytime soon.
