After ending the call, Derila looked for Sloan and asked about Charles's progress.
Sloan told Derila that he was about to report to her that Charles had already found Dr.Feroma.However, Dr.Feroma refused to leave the mountain.
Now, Charles was trying his best to persuade him.
After Derila heard that, she felt both excited and uneasy.They found Dr.Feroma.
Will he come down from the mountain? What if Charles reveals my identity by mistake? Upon that thought, Derila hurriedly asked Sloan to call Charles.She wanted to remind him personally.So, Sloan quickly called Charles on his phone.
It took a while for the call to be connected.
"Hello!"
"Charles, Ms.Feroma wants to have a word with you"
Then, Sloan handed his phone over to Derila.
Charles greeted her, "Ms.Fel—"
However, Derila cut him off and said, "Is there anyone beside you?"
"I'm at Dr.Feroma's house now" he responded.
"Go to the backyard.Don't let anyone hear you" Derila said immediately.
"Okay"
Charles went to the backyard with his phone.
"Ms.Feroma, there's no one around now.Please go ahead."
Derila asked reluctantly, "So, you saw Dr.Feroma?_ "Yes, Charles reported.
He continued, "I'm trying my utmost to persuade him to leave the mountain.However, Dr.Feroma is adamant about staying put.Also, he said that he hadn't performed an operation in many years, so I should look for someone else"
"Did you tell him about my identity?"
Again, Derila cut him off and asked anxiously.
"I only told him the patient is Mr.Lierger's fiancée.As per your instruction, I told him about your condition and age.And that there's no medical record.I didn't tell him anything else other than these"
Charles became vigilant and glanced at the cabin.
"Did you tell him my name?" Derila asked.
"No."
Charles shook his head.
"That's great."
Derila breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him, "When you call next time, don't refer to me as Ms.Feroma.Just say, Ms.Riri.All right?"
"Understood." Charles nodded.
"Previously, I only called you when I was inside the car.I don't think Dr.Feroma knows that you both share the same surname"
"That's great to know.Well done."
Finally, Derila felt at ease.Then, she reminded him, "All right.Go and persuade him again.Don't negotiate with him but tell him saving a life is of boundless beneficence.And that Ms.Riri got injured while she was saving someone else.She's only twenty-one years old.She's so young.It's a shame for her to lose her life just like that.Ask him to show her mercy."
"Um, is that what I should say?"
Although Charles was only a subordinate, he only followed orders from Daemon.He was only polite to others but never submitted to anyone other than Daemon.
Now that he needed to beg an elderly that humbly, he felt slightly uncomfortable.Besides, he was hesitant to describe his future lady of the house so pathetically.
"Also, you have to be more respectful to Dr.Feroma than to Daemon." Derila emphasized solemnly.
"Think of him as Daemon's father.Now, do you know how to deal with him?"
"Ah?"
Charles was dumbfounded.
"What? Just do as I say!"
Derila ordered domineeringly.
"Understood."
Since it was an order, Charles didn't dare to go against it.
Before he left, Daemon told him to treat Derila like his boss.
Also, he had to listen to her instruction as long as it didn't cause conflict for him.
"I'll be waiting for your good news!"
With that, Derila hung up the phone.
Charles walked back into the cabin with his phone in his hand.He behaved like a completely different person from before.iously, Charles negotiated with an insistent attitude.But now, he acted respectfully and bowed ninety degrees to Dr.Feroma.He said, "Dr.Feroma, I'm sorry for my impertinence.I am here to apologize to you.My lady of the house had just given me a good round of scolding.She's a doctor too.She got injured while saving someone.However, doctors can't heal themselves."
After half an hour, Derila received a call from Charles.
Charles sounded ecstatic on the other end of the phone.
"Dr.Feroma had agreed.Finally! We're leaving the mountain tomorrow afternoon!"
"That's great!"
