Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1437 Learning To Let Go

Roxanna's eyes widened in surprise. Was he so eager to escape her company because he didn't enjoy their time alone together?

Regardless, it was alright. There were pressing matters at the medical base that required her attention, and she had her own responsibilities to attend to.

"Sure. I need to return to the base to oversee some matters anyway. Is someone coming to fetch you?" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

With this thought, Roxanna turned toward Isaac, her face adorned with a smile.

Her demeanor suggested she was genuinely pleased about Isaac's impending departure.

Indeed, if Isaac was discharged, wouldn't that be a relief for her? She would no longer be burdened with his care.

But why was she here in the first place? Was this all just a product of her wishful thinking?

Perhaps Isaac didn't need her care at all.

Roxanna's smile suddenly froze, her emotions threatening to spill over.

"How are you going home?"

Isaac noticed a change in Roxanna's expression. Did she tire herself out from caring for me yesterday? This won't do. I need to make sure she gets home safely.

"Someone will be here soon. Let them escort you home first."

"No need. I can manage on my own. You take care of yourself."

Roxanna shook her head while gathering her belongings. After uttering these words, she hurriedly left the ward.

He has been maintaining a distance from you, Roxanna. What were you thinking and hoping for? she reminded herself. He has been maintaining a distance from you, Roxanna. What were you thinking and hoping for? she reminded herself.

Isaac watched Roxanna's hasty departure, puzzled by her claim of being extremely busy.

Why is she in such a rush? Did I do something wrong? Or was his decision flawed?

Isaac pondered for a while, but he couldn't unravel this mystery.

He didn't think Roxanna harbored feelings for him. After all, he had been somewhat bothersome in the past. And so, he resolved to pursue Roxanna once his issues with Ryan were resolved.

He was confident that he could win her over someday.

Nicole suddenly remembered the matter of talent acquisition and decided to call Roxanna to clarify some details, but her call went unanswered.

This left her feeling slightly uneasy. Roxanna had been uncharacteristically silent last night. Usually,

she would update her about her day and her activities.

Only yesterday was different.

Nicole frowned slightly. Roxanna was alone in the country, and her silence was worrisome.

Beep, beep.

Soon, Roxanna returned her call.

Nicole answered immediately. "Hello, Roxanna. Let's discuss work through video call."

But after answering the call, there was silence on the other end. This was unlike Roxanna. Because of that, Nicole suggested a video call.

"Okay, Nicole. Give me ten minutes."

After Roxanna finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Judging from the tone of her voice, it seems like she isn't in a good mood, Nicole speculated.

However, she couldn't figure out why Roxanna was feeling this way. If it was a base-related issue, she would certainly be aware of it. That left only one plausible explanation.

Isaac.

Nicole suddenly recalled the message Wendy had sent her last night. Was Roxanna also involved yesterday?

With the pieces of information at her disposal, it wasn't far-fetched to connect the dots.

It seemed she would have to wait for ten minutes before initiating a video call with Roxanna. She would have to ask Roxanna about it later.

After ending the call, Roxanna secluded herself in her room. She didn't see anyone, and even her dinner was left untouched outside her door.

Her mind was consumed by thoughts of Isaac. What was she to do? She couldn't find peace, yet she had to video chat with Nicole in ten minutes. She couldn't afford to neglect her work.

The tears continuing to flow unabated on her cheeks were a testament to her inner turmoil.

She had to pull herself together. Roxanna, gather your strength. You can't afford to wallow in despair. You still have Nicole and Chloe. The medical base in the country still needs you.
