The next day, as Elaina was busy at the hospital as usual, she unexpectedly received a call from Marlow. This was the first time they had spoken since the incident.
"Ella, would you like to have lunch together at noon?" Marlow's tone on the phone was indifferent, and it was hard to discern any emotions.
Elaina glanced at the time, realizing there were still two hours left until lunch break. She figured she could finish seeing her patients by then, so she didn't refuse. "Alright," she agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Elaina continued to be busy, not thinking about what Marlow wanted to talk to her about.
Two hours later, Elaina met Marlow at the entrance of the hospital.
"Sorry, I'm a bit late." Elaina was all set to leave work, but just as she was about to go, a patient stopped her. After explaining a few things to them, she finally managed to leave the hospital.
