"When will you be back? You have already missed the pre-season training. And now the opener! I'm going to cut your salary for your absenteeism!" Yunan Xiao said on the phone.
"Helheim is almost recovered. I will be home next week," Dai Li apologized.
Dai Li had been in Europe for more than three months, from the end of December to the middle of March, during which time, Dai Li returned to China only once for the Spring Festival.
He was especially busy during the last one month. The magical recovery of Duke Gale had made Dai Li famous as an expert on rehabilitation among British nobles. As a result, he got two more patients that month: a French tycoon, who had his spine injured while skydiving, and a British-born equestrian athlete, who needed a rehabilitation training.
