The next morning, the doctor is happy to see his daughter awake. He asks her if she fainted because someone said something to stir her up, and she says no. The doctor tells her that she needs to talk to him first before making any decisions about her life. He tells her to ask him a favor, and then he leaves her in his care. He says that he has a big project he wants to bring her to, and he wants her to come along. He gives her three days to sell the stock he owns and wait for him. He promises to get the money back in three days. When the doctor tells him that the phone number he used to call is unavailable, the girl is furious. She wants to know what he is doing in her mother's house. He is just a "vermin" , she tells him.
