Chapter 1435 Are You Hungry?
"You mean you didn't send me that message?"
Roxanna inquired cautiously, apprehensive that any further words might provoke Isaac.
Isaac was momentarily taken aback by her question. He started to rummage for his phone. He did dispatch a
message yesterday, but it was intended for the police. Could he have mistakenly sent it to the wrong recipient?
"Are you looking for your phone? It's right here."
Roxanna picked up the phone from the side and handed it to Isaac. She spoke nonchalantly, her movements
unhurried.
Isaac hesitated for a moment before accepting the phone from her and reviewing the message he had sent the
previous day.
Indeed, he had inadvertently sent it to Roxanna.
He locked his phone, his hands gradually descending to his sides before finally resting on the bed.
So, he had indeed dispatched it to the wrong person. What about yesterday's police, then?
"Ah, do you want to know what transpired yesterday?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRoxanna finally grasped what Isaac was implying and spoke as if she was seeking approval.
Upon hearing this, Isaac dazedly nodded.
"When I received your message yesterday, I initially thought someone was attempting to deceive me, or perhaps
your phone had been stolen. But then I realized that they didn't demand any money, so I brought the police to
locate you."
After getting his affirmation, Roxanna began to recount the incident.
"But after you collapsed, another group of police arrived. They seemed to recognize you, so they escorted us both
to the hospital. As for Ryan, he should be in custody now. Don't worry."
Isaac nodded upon hearing this. So that's what occurred. He must have been disoriented and sent the message to
the wrong person.
However, it didn't matter as long as the ultimate objective was accomplished.
"Thank you."
Just as Roxanna was about to ask Isaac if he wanted to eat something, she was taken aback by his unexpected
gratitude.
"Huh?"
Momentarily bewildered, she threw that out instinctively.
Isaac shook his head, acknowledging his abruptness. "It's nothing."
Indeed, to Roxanna, he wasn't the type to express gratitude. He shouldn't startle her.
"No need to thank me. We're friends!"
Isaac was slightly surprised as he observed Roxanna, who was smiling at him.
This naive woman is probably the type who will count the money for me if there ever comes a day when I sell her
off.
Isaac pondered this and couldn't help but smile. But then, this was also part of Roxanna's allure, wasn't it?
Roxanna didn't notice Isaac's smile. She scanned the takeout options on her phone, but there didn't seem to be
anything particularly light. Never mind, I'd better head to the hospital cafeteria.
"By the way, are you hungry?"
"I am,"
Isaac responded obediently, his tone more amiable than usual.
Roxanna nodded, seemingly oblivious to anything unusual about Isaac. As she rose to leave, she reminded him
before her departure, "Wait for me to come back. I'll fetch you something to eat. Get some more rest. The doctor
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmentioned you're overworked. You can't push yourself too hard no matter what, right?"
With that, she turned and left the ward.
Isaac found Roxanna's lengthy speech rather useful. After her departure, he obediently reclined on the bed, closed
his eyes, and awaited her return.
Roxanna navigated through the hospital. She had noticed Isaac's smile earlier, but she feared that acknowledging it
would create an awkward situation for both of them.
It was better to feign ignorance. That was the optimal approach.
She finally exhaled a sigh of relief after she gradually distanced from Isaac's ward. Why was Isaac looking at me
with that gaze?
Ring, ring!
Before she could figure out the answer to her question, her phone rang, disrupting her thoughts.
Roxanna glanced at the phone number. It was from the base. Seeing that, she answered the call without any
hesitation.
"Hey, what's up?"
