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... | 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 Mig." "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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFinally, 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 | can help you with?" River wondered why Franklin called so late.

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 | 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.
