George Stanford sighed. "Is Fiona alright?"
"Dr. Standford, rest assured, Miss Cecilia Branford has safely left Country A."
Safely left Country A...
Upon hearing this, George Stanford was relieved. He had finally helped her escape successfully.
"You don't need to pick me up. Tell Fiona I'm fine too. Young Master Shannon didn't punish me. I'm still staying in the medical office; everything is normal."
Derek Clark seemed unconvinced. "Dr. Standford, rest assured, I have a way to get you out..."
"No, no, no," George Stanford refused repeatedly. "I won't go with you. Just tell Fiona that she's fine. I'm hanging up."
With that, George Stanford hung up the telephone.
He poured a cup of water and drank it in one gulp. After drinking two cups, he felt his strength return.
Putting down the cup, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
