A Visit is Arranged
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 84021
|
Fred saw that Belinda was making an effort to be conciliatory. He could
understand the anger that she was trying to suppress. If something
similar had happened to his own brother, Jarlath, he would probably have
reacted in much the same way. If he refused to let Belinda see her
sister, then no doubt that anger would flare up again, even stronger than
before. Who knew what she might do then? The last thing they needed was a
story in the media about how the Governor's advisors were refusing to let
her own sister see her.
"All right," he said. "I'll see what the doctor says. If he doesn't think that it's likely to do any harm, then you can see her. As a matter of fact, he's just been briefing us on her condition, so I can ask him right away. If you'll wait for a moment, please." Fred walked back into the meeting room, making sure to close the door behind him. "She wants to see her sister," he said. "She's happy for the doctor to be present, and promises that she won't be angry with her. Not surprisingly, she's pretty stressed right now, and if she's turned down then there could be some awkward consequences." "Letting her see the Governor might be a good idea," the doctor said. "So far, you are the only person who Astra's seemed to recognise, Fred. But there's a very good chance that she'll recognise her own sister. If she does, then that might help to break down this fantasy that she seems to have created around herself. If you don't need me any further, gentlemen, then I won't keep the lady waiting." "I think that we've covered the medical side of this as far as we can," Frank Maia said. "Now we need to consider the crisis management apects of the problem." The doctor left the room.
