Chapter 394
She lowered her gaze.
She tried to appear obedient.
"Alright, I'll come find you after work."
She never received the response she wanted.
Adrian Sinclair didn't look up.
He remained focused on his work.
Chloe Valentine bit her lip and stood still.
She glanced at him unwillingly several times.
Finally, she had no choice but to turn and leave.
She secretly made up her mind.
She would come back after work and wait.
She couldn't allow any mistakes.
In the hospital room.
Anna Ross slowly got up.
She supported herself against the wall as she walked toward the restroom.
Sophia Roscente and Cecilia Roscente had urgent matters.
They left the hospital early.
The empty room held only her.
The sky darkened outside.
She returned from the restroom.
She stood quietly by the window, gazing at the night sky.
Waking up to an empty room felt like being abandoned by the whole world.
Fortunately, the pain in her neck had subsided.
She leaned against the windowsill, lost in thought.
She didn't notice the movement behind her.
Adrian Sinclair stood at the doorway.
He watched her slender shadow.
Three years had passed, but she hadn't changed at all.
A cool breeze blew in.
Anna shivered and closed the window.
Turning around, she met his intense gaze.
She froze for a moment.
He had clearly been watching her for some time.
"When did you get here?"
Why hadn't she heard him?
Adrian lifted a food container.
He placed the dishes on the table one by one.
"Just now. You were too focused to notice."
His voice was still calm.
But it no longer felt cold or hurtful.
Anna walked over slowly.
She sat down on the edge of the bed.
She stared blankly at the steaming food.
He was the one taking care of her now.
He was the one staying by her side.
"Stop daydreaming."
"You need to eat to recover quickly."
He handed her a fork and knife, his tone neutral.
She took the utensils.
She picked up some food and ate slowly.
Her eyes suddenly felt moist.
Her mother was controlled by Howard Lowell.
Even her company had become a luxury.
Her best friend had returned to San Francisco due to family matters.
Adrian sat not far away.
He noticed the tears glistening in her eyes.
His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Why was she alone in the room?
He took out his phone and called Sophia Roscente.
He learned that Marcus Hill had an emergency.
She promised to return and apologize later.
Adrian rubbed his temples.
He put his phone back in his pocket.
"Mr. Evans, the meeting isn't over yet!"
"Why are you in such a hurry to get to the hospital?"
Hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Lucas Evans walked quickly ahead.
His assistant followed breathlessly, carrying a food container.
The assistant couldn't understand the rush.
Why hurry so much for a hospital visit?
Lucas suddenly stopped outside a room.
His expression froze.
The assistant peered inside—
A man and a woman were in the room together.
