There Was No Movement For A Long Time
Meanwhile, in Deep Sea Restaurant.
Leon had been drinking with the seniors for a while but did not see Rosalie come back and could not
help feeling a little worried. With the excuse of going to the toilet, he went out and gave Rosalie a call.
Rosalie had almost fallen asleep after thinking about nonsense for a long time, but she was suddenly
awakened by her mobile phone ringing.
She opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment before she reacted. She did not even look at the
caller ID before immediately answering the call. “Who is it?”
From the other end, Leon could not help but be stunned. “It’s me.”
Rosalie was fully awake then and felt like she had forgotten something very important.
“Where are you? Why haven’t you come back after so long?” Leon asked anxiously, not knowing what
had happened on her side.
Rosalie suddenly recalled that she was supposed to be attending the dinner after the academic
conference.
She thought she could head back after getting a cup of coffee, so she did not bid the seniors farewell.
She did not think that she would be sent back to the hotel in the end and had vaguely pushed the
matter to the back of her mind.
After thinking of it, Rosalie quickly apologized to Leon, “I’m sorry, Leon. I was feeling a little under the
weather so I came back first and forgot to inform you. Please help me apologize to the seniors…”
Leon breathed a deep sigh of relief. “That’s fine. I thought something happened to you. As long as
you’re fine. Just go back and rest if you’re not feeling well. I’ll help you inform the seniors here.”
With that, he offered a few more words of concern before hanging up the call.
Back in the private room, everyone looked at him one after another. “What’s Dr. Jacobs doing? How is
it that you’re back but we still haven’t seen a trace of her?”
Leon poured himself a glass of wine and raised his glass to apologize to the crowd on Rosalie’s behall.
“Dr. Jacobs isn’t feeling well and has gone back first. Allow me to apologize on her behall. I drink this
glass of wine in her name and hope for your forgiveness.”
With that, he downed it in one go.
Led by Senior Lewis, the group of leading figures in the medical industry expressed that it was line
They just regretted that they could not interact with Rosalie much.
Rosalie’s absence reminded everyone that it was already late after they had a peek at the time. Many
of them had also drunk ull they were disoriented.
Senior Lewis got up and said, “That’s all for today’s dinner. We’ll get together again next time.
The crowd simply exchanged few more words before leaving one after another.
As the youngest junior present, Leon was the last one to leave after sending everyone off politely.
Coming out of the restaurant, Leon took a taxi and directly went back to the hotel. Although it was late,
he knocked on Rosalie’s door tentatively.
He was the one who brought Rosalie to the dinner, yet he did not even know that she was feeling
unwell. His care for her had been inadequate.
Leon was a little worried.
There was no movement inside after he knocked for a while.
Thinking of Rosalie’s bleary voice on the phone just now, Leon knew that she should be asleep, so he
did not bother her anymore and went back to his room next door.
He had also drunk a lot that evening and was feeling somewhat dizzy.
He seemed to have heard the sound of a door closing just as he was opening his own door. Turning
around, be vaguely saw the door of the room to the left of Rosalie’s closing. It even seemed like a
familiar figure had lashed past his eyes.
The door was closed very quickly, so Leon did not manage to get a clear view. Hence, he did not take it
to heart
Back in his room, he called the front desk and asked someone to bring him some hangover medicine.
Alter quickly washing himself up, he went to bed, thinking that he would go see how Rosalie was doing
when he woke up.
