Chapter 742: The Meeting
"What are you doing here?" Rafe asked, looking up from his diary to find Dr. Caius standing there, his assistant lingering just behind him.
"What do you mean, ’What am I doing here?’ We had a meeting, didn’t we? Or have you forgotten already?" Caius replied impatiently as he walked into the office.
Rafe nodded slowly. "I remember, but Dora’s not coming."
Caius gave a knowing smile. "I’m well aware. Your brother practically kidnapped her from the orphanage."
Rafe’s brows shot up. "Kidnapped? Really?"
Caius rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Yes, really. Anyway, Dora or not, we can still proceed. For now, lets just change the agenda of today’s meeting. Instead of the cooperation, I want to talk about someone." Caius paused. "I’ve found the perfect candidate for my first surgery here in Petrovia."
Rafe widened his eyes. That was quick. They’d only started building up the institution and he was already gathering patients? He knew the Frosts were efficient but this was too much efficiency...
Carefully, he nodded,"Okay but... it is going to take time to build the centre here... so, what are your plans? Why don’t you look happy with finding a patient?"
Caius shook his head, his expression darkening. "It’s more complicated than just waiting for the centre to start running. In fact," he paused, studying Rafe intently, "I need your help."
