Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 1168

Rowan snorted, his hardened expression softening a tad, although worry lingered in his eyes. He gestured for his assistant, Hubert, to disembark from the vehicle.

"Lorrie, I'll Leave Hubert here to help you. If anything comes up, reach out to me. I need to head back to the hospital."

Loraine smiled and bid him goodbye.

As soon as Rowan's vehicle disappeared from view, Marco sidled up to

Loraine, proposing thoughtfully, "How about calling it a day? I could drive you home for some rest."

"I can escort her back!" Hubert announced dutifully, his bright eyes darting between Loraine and Marco.

Loraine nudged Marco aside. "Hubert is here with me. You should head back now!"

Without a reason to Linger, Marco had no choice but to depart.

That night, Loraine found sleep elusive.

She tossed and turned in bed, her mind awash with complex thoughts.

She kept replaying the moment Marco hesitated when she suggested he investigate Keely.

In his heart, how much space did Keely occupy, and what about her?

Loraine finally managed to drift off to sleep. But not long after, she was rudely awakened by her alarm clock.

Groggily, Loraine washed her face and rinsed her mouth. As she stepped out of her car at her company's building, a frightful sight instantly woke her up.

A throng of reporters had swarmed the entrance, their camera flashes illuminating her face.

"Miss Torres, could you confirm or deny that your architectural design plans are copied?"

"Could you address the online controversy?"

"Miss Torres, what's your take on Professor Zizka's remarks?"

Dazzled and disoriented, Loraine had barely stepped out of her vehicle when she stumbled into the crowd of reporters. She remained bewildered for several moments before clarity returned.

The reporters, however, had little regard for her disorientation. They swarmed around her, with cameras about to poke her face.

Amidst the pushing, a reporter accidentally collided with another and fell straight towards Loraine. In the chaos, the camera came crashing down towards her face.

Instinctively, Loraine shut her eyes, extending her hand to shield herself from the imminent impact.
