Nathen's mood improved when he saw Darlene coming.
However, he still pretended to be displeased and said, "Hasn't anyone told you that you should avoid discussing a patient's condition with others in the presence of the patient?"
As he spoke, he got up and approached them, sitting on the couch opposite Darlene and Leana.
Darlene felt that Nathen had become much more normal recently. His words and actions were increasingly similar to how they used to be, and he didn't cross the line. Their relationship seemed to have returned to that of ordinary friends.
She no longer felt uncomfortable and pressured whenever she was with him. Hearing his words, Darlene called on Leana and got up to leave. "Is that so? In that case, we won't discuss it in front of you. Leana, let's talk outside."
Nathen frowned, but a smile appeared on his face. He said, "You've already started the discussion. Do you still think it's necessary to avoid me now?"
