“Thank you, Adrian,” I thanked him after he was done.

“If it swells up, I’m going to get you to take medicine for it,” he warned sternly as he got up.

“Who says you’re not a VVIP patient?” he teased me back before he reached out a hand and placed it firmly on my shoulder.

“Am I as important as a minister now?” I asked with a small laugh.

“You’re way more important,” Adrian replied.
