Chapter 1396


    Roxanne endured the pain in her waist as she finished up her shower.


    Upon putting on her clothes and stepping out of the bathroom, she saw Lucian standing in the corridor.


    “I''m done.”


    Lucian promptly approached her and abruptly stretched his hand toward her.


    His action confounded her for a moment. Then, she looked in the direction his hand was stretching


    toward and saw him lifting her cor.


    She was stunned for a moment before she realized why he was doing that and reflexively avoided his


    line of sight.


    “I have to go for medical consultation, so I''ll be leaving now.” Then, she lowered her head and walked


    past him.


    Knowing that her thoughts were still in disarray, Lucian decided the best course of action was to stay


    quiet and let her calm down by herself.


    After he watched her leave, he returned to his room.


    Roxanne mentioned she needed to do medical consultation because she was simply worried about the


    residents of the nursing home and not because she felt guilty.


    Upon ncing at the time and seeing it was almost eight.


    We had already reached the nursing home at this time yesterday, yet Jack hasn''t evene out yet.


    Hence, she knocked on Jack''s door as she was perplexed, wanting to ask him what was going on.


    However, no one replied to her, despite the continuous knocking.

    However, no one replied to her, despite the continuous knocking.


    Just as Roxanne was about to call Jack, a cleaner stepped out of the neighboring room and helpfully


    informed her, “The person in that room has already checked out.”


    Roxanne was confused. “When?” I thought we were going to attend the medical consultation together


    today. We even had dinner togetherst night.


    “After he came backst night.”


    Upon thanking the cleaner, she looked away, feeling rather uneasy. Jack seemed fine during the dinner


    yesterday. Why did hee back herest night just to check out? If I remember correctly, he was


    going to send me back yesterday, so logically, he should be preparing to return together with me...


    The more she thought about it, the weirder she found the situation to be. Maybe something happened


    after I was drunk.


    Thus, she returned to Lucian to find out what happened.


    After she knocked on the entrance twice, Lucian opened the door and stared at her. “What''s the


    matter? Aren''t you in a hurry to attend the medical consultation?”


    Roxanne carefully observed his expression as she spoke. “Did something happen after I got drunkst


    night?”


    However, no one replied to her, despite the continuous knocking.


    In response, he deliberately scrutinized her as though he was asking, Don''t you know what happened


    already?


    Upon detecting the look in his eyes, she furrowed her eyebrows with embarrassment and fury. “What


    I''m asking is if there was a conflict between you and Mr. Damaris. He checked out of his roomst


    night.”


    The only possibility she could think of was that Lucian had a dispute of some kind with Jack when the


    former went to pick her up.


    The look in Lucian''s eyes turned cold. He didn''t like her questioning him because of another man so


    soon after leaving his bed.


    “You think I''m the one who chased him away?” His expression became icier as he recalled what had


    transpiredst night. I didn''t do anything. However, even if I did chase him away, I would''ve been


    justified in doing so because of what he said.


    Upon noticing the changes in his countenance, Roxanne exined, “That''s not what I meant. I''m just


    curious as to why Mr. Damaris suddenly checked out. We have a medical consultation today, and he''s


    the person in charge. He shouldn''t have left without saying a word.”
