Chapter 56 - - 56 : Phoebe
"You have my gratitude, Dr. Etman."
The eyes of Norma Catharina von Herhardt were full of appreciation as she watched him pack his medical bag.
"Oh, don't mention it! I'm glad that you are back to your peak health." Dr. Etman replied warmly, smiling like his usual kind self.
"Given my old age...it wouldn't be surprising if my health starts deteriorating."
"Please, don't say that."
Dr. Etman left his work earlier to re-check Norma's health. The Duchess had caught a cold and had the potential to become serious considering her youth had passed.
"It's all thanks to you that this old woman is enjoying these years in good shape. Isn't that right, Elysee?" She asked her daughter-in-law who had been silently standing next to the doctor the entire time.
"Of course!" Elysee von Herhardt agreed, gladly grabbing the chance to praise their family doctor. "You've done well, Dr. Etman."
"Thank you, Madam. I must get going now." Dr. Etman replied as he picked up his already packed medical bag, intending to leave the room.
"Oh yes, how's Kyle doing?"
The instant he heard Elysee inquire about his son, Dr. Etman's eyes twitched, but he quickly regained his calm and replied with a bright smile. "Kyle is doing well. He's currently absorbed in his studies."
