"You could say that." Tercy Mason did not back down.
"Reality is the only way to test the truth."
Alexander Stuart clearly wasn't facing this kind of challenge for the first time; he responded calmly and skillfully, "Come back in four days, let's see the progress Miss Bardot has made in her recovery, whether she can be discharged or not."
"OK." Tercy agreed without hesitation.
Between them, it seemed like there was indeed a spark of competition, flaring up instantly.
This spread into Ella Lacey and Yolanda Bardot's awareness.
If they didn't seize this opportunity, when would they?
Ella Lacey walked between them, grinning, "Your agreement is like a bet, right? How about this, the loser must treat the other to meals for a month, how does that sound?"
"Miss Ella, good idea, I agree." Alexander didn't hesitate, he immediately nodded.
Tercy, however, seemed a bit apprehensive.
It wasn't about the cost of the meals.
