?Chapter 1615:


    Thirty secondster, the doors slid open. Just as he was about to step inside, a faintly surprised voice echoed.


    “Darwin, you’ve finally returned!” Zaria’s voice rang out as she emerged from the elevator.


    Darwin raised his head, his gazending on her approaching figure. His expression shifted like storm clouds gathering, his brows knitting together in a deep furrow.


    Without uttering a single word, he strode past her into the elevator, refusing to acknowledge her presence.


    Zaria remained unruffled by his dismissive behavior. She positioned herself beside him, her voice carrying genuine curiosity. “Have you just arrived back from your business trip? What brings you to the Grand ins General Hospital? Are you experiencing any health concerns?”


    The questions tumbled from her lips in rapid session.


    The moment her words faded into silence, realization struck her like lightning. Belinda worked in the Cardiac Surgery Department here!


    The pieces fell into ce with devastating rity—Darwin must havee to visit Belinda. He had barely touched down from his journey before rushing straight to see her. The depth of his love for her became painfully obvious.


    Waves of bitterness and jealousy crashed through Zaria’s chest. Originally, she had nned to exit the elevator, but witnessing Darwin’s presence changed everything. She remained by his side, descending with him toward the parking lot.


    “Darwin, how did your trip unfold? Did you manage to adapt to the foreign cuisine? You appear to have shed some weight; was the adjustment period particrly challenging?” Zaria’s voice flowed with practiced concern, each word carefully chosen to convey her care for Darwin.


    Darwin maintained his stony silence. He refused to spare her even the slightest acknowledgment.


    Witnessing hisplete indifference, Zaria felt a sharp stab of pain pierce through her heart. She caught her lower lip between her teeth, then said, “Why won’t you say anything?”

    Darwin’s voice cut through her words like a de. “Enough! Can you shut up?”


    He turned his head toward Zaria, his gaze cold with barely contained irritation. “Are we even close? We’re not even friends. Do I owe you answers to your questions?”


    His words struck Zaria like a blow. She gazed at him with wounded eyes, her voice trembling. “How… how could you be so cruel? I—”


    Darwin severed her protest before it could fully form. “I’m upied with pressing matters. I don’t have the time to engage in meaningless conversation with you. Stop following me.”


    With those cutting words, he stepped out of the elevator without casting a backward nce, abandoning Zaria in her stunned silence.


    Zaria followed him out of the elevator. She watched his retreating silhouette, her teeth sinking deeper into her lip with such force that the color drained from thempletely.


    She remained frozen for several long minutes, her eyes tracking his movement until he vanished from sight entirely. Only then did she draw a shuddering breath, turn back toward the elevator, and press the call button with trembling fingers.
