Chapter 1377

Lucian furrowed his brows. “What else can I do? I don’t know anything about medical consultation. Since you’re in the medical industry, give me some tips.”

Jonathan held his forehead in exasperation. Is he seriously thinking of helping out at the nursing home tomorrow? He sighed inwardly before replying patiently, “From what you’ve said, Roxanne and Jack are staying in the same hotel. Aren’t you worried? You know Jack has ulterior motives toward Roxanne…”

Lucian’s brow furrowed deeper. He looked up at Roxanne’s room; the lights were already on.

Recalling Jonathan’s words, Lucian couldn’t sit still. He immediately opened the car door and got out. Jonathan continued chattering on the phone.

After checking into the hotel, Lucian reserved the room next to Roxanne’s. It was almost ten o’clock when Roxanne entered her room. She hesitated momentarily as she passed Jack’s room, then proceeded to her own.

Exhausted after a long day, Roxanne showered immediately. Emerging from the bathroom, she saw her phone ringing. Lucian’s name flashed on the caller ID. Assuming he was calling to confirm his safe arrival, she answered while drying her hair. “Are you back already?”

She heard a beeping sound—a key card unlocking a door. “I am. I just found out the branch office booked me in this same hotel. If I’d known, we could have walked together. Where’s your room?” he asked, his voice even.

Surprise and confusion flickered across Roxanne’s face. It seemed strange the branch office hadn't informed Lucian earlier. And everything that day felt too coincidental. However, dismissing it as insignificant, she gave Lucian her room number.

Immediately, he exclaimed, “808? What are the odds? I’m next door!”

Roxanne knitted her brows. Too much of a coincidence… If he hadn’t asked for her room number first, she would have suspected he’d planned it.

Lucian stood outside her door, staring blankly. He and Jonathan had assumed she’d at least open the door to see him next door. But after waiting, her door remained shut.

Then, Roxanne’s voice: “It’s late. You should rest. You must be tired after driving all day.” A yawn followed.

Lucian had no choice but to agree. “You too.”

Roxanne hummed, ending the call. Lucian stared at his phone, displeasure furrowing his brow before entering his room. He regretted listening to Jonathan’s bad idea, worried Roxanne would notice the coincidences and doubt him.

Meanwhile, at home, Jonathan wondered if he should call Lucian for an update when he felt his ear burning. He rubbed it and decided against it. What if they’re… He didn’t want to interrupt, spoiling the moment. I’ll just wait until tomorrow!
