Chapter 672

However, she didn't have the mood or time to argue with Isla here. Sheglanced at the time and walked over to Ricardo's bedside, starting toremove the needles.

After removing all of the thin and long silver needles from Ricardo'shead, she put away the needles. She said to Franklin, "He may wakeup in about ten minutes.”

Franklin nodded his head and gave a cold glare towards Isla, who wasdisgusting and annoying.

He used to think that her computer skills were excellent when she wasone of the top candidates for employment.

However, he did not expect her arrogance and conceit now. Shecompletely disregarded Sylvia.

But Isla had not made any fundamental mistakes yet; MI6 would not beso ruthless as to eliminate someone who had contributed for severalyears just because of personal issues.

He suppressed his displeasure towards Isla. “Isla, have you finishedeverything in the technical department? You actually have time to wastehere.”

"Master Franklin, Ricardo will wake up in a few minutes. I want to waituntil he wakes up before I go back," said Isla.

Isla wasn't stupid; she naturally heard Franklin trying to get rid of her.But the more he repelled her like this, the more she wanted to stayhere. The more she didn't want Sylvia to stay alone with him.

She was extremely jealous and bitter.

Her eyes were filled with pleading as she said, "Let me see Ricardosafely awaken before leaving.”

If someone didn't know better, they would think that they had a deepfriendship.

Upon hearing this statement from Isla, Franklin became annoyedinside. "Do what you want.”

Logan also noticed Islas hostility towards Sylvia, so he leaned overnext Sylvia, asking, "Boss, when are you going back to Larro?"

“In a few more days," replied Sylvia as she put away her phone. SinceCody's case hadn't progressed yet, she couldn't leave Urgford rightnow .

Just then after about ten minutes passed by, Ricardo still lay quietly onhis hospital bed without any signs of waking up.

Everyone waited silently without making any noise.

Isla couldn't hold it anymore, she spoke first, "Miss Andrews, could it bepossible that your diagnosis is wrong? Why hasn't Ricardo woken upyet?"

"Or is it possible... that you simply don't know how to give acupunctureproperly?"

"How could someone as young as you possibly know how giveacupuncture?"

Logan was irritated by what Isla said. "You bitch! Can't you keep yourmouth shut? You've been chattering all day long, and now darequestion my boss’ abilities.”

Isla had never been treated so rudely by a man before, and she wascompletely stunned. She stared at Logan in disbelief.

“You... you're a big CEO, how can you be so vulgar? You..."

It completely overturned her perception of the LongevityPharmaceuticals’ CEO.

She looked a little depressed at Franklin and asked, "Master... howcould he treat me like this?"

Franklin sneered, “Isla, Mr. Mertens is being too kind to you. I wouldrather have Jasper throw you out.”

Isla felt as if she had been struck by lightning and looked heartbrokenwith tears welling up in her eyes.

"Master... I've still worked here for so long. Do you have to treat me likethis just because of her?"

"She's the head of MI6," Franklin's voice was full of endless coldness."You questioned the head of MI6 just now; you know what punishmentyou'll receive. Go back and receive your punishment.”

Isla bit her lip uncomfortably with tears but no one present seemed tocare about her.

Just then, Ricardo coughed twice, drawing everyone's attentiontowards him.

He sat up slowly holding onto the edge of his bed.

After his vision cleared up, Ricardo smiled at Sylvia, saying, "That wasgreat! For years now I've never felt as relaxed as today! My head feelsespecially comfortable.”

Franklin visibly relaxed upon hearing that statement.

"Glad it worked out for you, Ricardo; seems like acupuncture has itsbenefits.”

“I'll come tomorrow again for another treatment.” Sylvia nodded, thenpointed towards some medicine on the bedside table, "Just followinstructions on these pills; they're effective medicine that will benefityour body"

"Thank you!" Ricardo laughed, feeling grateful.

After exchanging pleasantries with each other, they left an attendantnurse behind to look after Ricardo while Sylvia walked out alongsideFranklin followed by Logan and Jasper.

Isla was left alone without anyone caring about her. She had no choicebut to catch up with them in frustration.

Ricardo watched Isla's retreating figure, squinting slightly. He felt thatIsla would cause more trouble anytime soon.
