Chapter 1790

Stella felt anxious and reluctant to leave, but Baldwin insisted, "Ms. Hall, please step outside. It's Dr. Morghen's protocol." Stella tightly clutched her hands and eventually stepped back. The door closed firmly, muffling any sounds from within. Anxiously pacing outside the room, Stella couldn't shake off a growing sense of unease. Finally, she turned to Baldwin and said, "Who is this doctor? Can we trust him?" "You've met him before," Baldwin replied. Perplexed, Stella questioned, "When did I meet him? I don't remember." "At the Temple of Abawo." "Temple of— Is he the Venerable Raphael Morghen? Isn't he a religious figure? Since when he knows medicine?" Stella did not recognize Raphael due to his loose hair. Baldwin explained, "His belief and job are two different things." 'It sounds like he has quite a flexible career,' thought Stella. Raphael had a deep connection with Cordelia, and her trust in him prompted his invitation. Still, Stella wondered about his medical skills.
