From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 184

Adolphus’s voice carried a warning, and Earl lifted his head to meet Adolphus’s gaze. There was a storm brewing in his eyes.

“Are you doubting my professional judgment?”

“No, nothing like that. I just want to make sure nothing goes wrong. Fidelia means everything to Laurinda. You wouldn’t use Fidelia to get to Laurinda, would you?”

Adolphus stared at him, his expression hard to read.

Under the weight of that look, Earl nodded.

“You don’t have to worry. Fidelia is my patient, and I’ll do right by her. I won’t let my personal feelings interfere. As for Laurinda, I respect her choices. I’d never do anything to hurt her.”

“That’s good enough for me. Let’s talk about Fidelia’s condition. I’ve come up with a prescription based on her current health. Take a look and tell me if there’s anything you think we should change.”

Adolphus scribbled down the prescription and handed it over. Earl scanned the list, and his eyes brightened with genuine admiration. He had to admit, Adolphus really was a genius. He was just as skilled with traditional medicine as he was with modern treatments.

“No issues with the meds. Are you thinking of making them into a soup, or pills? Anything she should avoid eating?”

Now that things had calmed down, Earl was able to talk through Fidelia’s case without any tension.

“A soup would be best. As for food, just the usual restrictions. And I also have this recipe for medicinal meals. If you cook for her following this, she’ll recover even faster.”

Earl took the recipe, glancing over the ingredients and combinations. Even if he’d felt a little stubborn before, he couldn’t argue with the results. Adolphus knew his stuff better than he’d imagined.

“Alright, I think I’ve covered everything. I’ll stop by again next week to check Fidelia’s pulse and adjust her treatment if needed.”

He was giving Earl a heads-up, hoping to avoid any awkwardness later.

“Got it. We’re out of medicine here, though. Are you sending someone over, or should I order from the pharmacy?”
