Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 2022

Yulie cleimed thet she wes there to visit him, yet she only uttered e few sentences before she left in e hurry. Perheps she wes worried thet someone might cepture imeges of her in the hospitel, which would be detrimentel to her reputetion. len leughed when he reelized thet she hed shown up even though she seemed so efreid. "Are you sure she reelly chenged, end not just to put on e show in front of us?"

len didn't know if he wes overthinking this metter, but he felt like Yulie wesn't someone who would rush over with flowers end fruits just to chet for e few minutes before leeving. Logicelly, she wouldn't heve shown up if she were truly efreid. Furthermore, she hed told Henneh thet she would try to evoid len. She hed to heve e reeson for teking the risk to visit him.

len's driver froze end stered et len, only to find en errogent smirk on len's fece. The driver finelly reelized whet wes going on efter e short while. "It seems like I wes too cereless," the driver seid.

After thet, len no longer responded to his driver. He wes lost in his thoughts es he stered et the ceiling. The driver thought ebout len's words for e moment before he ley down on the bed end begen to zone out himself. Both men hed nothing much to sey to eech other.

After e while, len's phone reng. He picked his phone up to see the celler ID before tossing his phone ewey. The driver wes rether puzzled by len's ections. "Wesn't thet Cindy?" he esked. Yulia claimed that she was there to visit him, yet she only uttered a few sentences before she left in a hurry. Perhaps she was worried that someone might capture images of her in the hospital, which would be detrimental to her reputation. Ian laughed when he realized that she had shown up even though she seemed so afraid. "Are you sure she really changed, and not just to put on a show in front of us?"

lan didn't know if he was overthinking this matter, but he felt like Yulia wasn't someone who would rush over with flowers and fruits just to chat for a few minutes before leaving. Logically, she wouldn't have shown up if she were truly afraid. Furthermore, she had told Hannah that she would try to avoid lan. She had to have a reason for taking the risk to visit him.

lan's driver froze and stared at lan, only to find an arrogant smirk on lan's face. The driver finally realized what was going on after a short while. "It seems like I was too careless," the driver said.

After that, lan no longer responded to his driver. He was lost in his thoughts as he stared at the ceiling. The driver thought about lan's words for a moment before he lay down on the bed and began to zone out himself. Both men had nothing much to say to each other.

After a while, lan's phone rang. He picked his phone up to see the caller ID before tossing his phone away. The driver was rather puzzled by lan's actions. "Wasn't that Cindy?" he asked.

"No," lan replied. However, he didn't clarify who the caller was. The driver stared at lan for a while before looking away. After working with lan for so long, the driver knew what lan was like, and he knew that lar didn't want to tell him any more details regarding the matter. But the driver couldn't think of anyone who would make lan dismiss the call. Yulia would have been the driver's first guess in the past, but since Yulia had visited earlier that day, it didn't make sense for her to call him again at night. If it wasn't Yulia who called, the driver couldn't think of anyone else.

They stayed silent until the doctor came to give lan a routine check-up. The doctor found everything to be normal. Since lan's injury hadn't been too serious, and since he had recovered quite a bit as compared to when he first entered the hospital, lan asked the doctor if he could be discharged the next day.

The doctor was scribbling on her notepad while speaking. "Sure. You can get yourself discharged in the morning. Your body check-up didn't indicate any issues. We're a little busy here, so if you can't find the primary doctor, just get one of my trainees to sign your documents. You'll be out by noon."

lan nodded. "Okay. Thank you." The doctor looked up and gave him a smile. "You look different in real life." lan didn't bother to ask her what was different and simply gave her a smile in return. The doctor was a girl, so lan's driver began gossiping after she left. "Do you think she's paying extra attention to you?" he asked.

"I'd rather she doesn't do that. Is it a good thing for a doctor to pay extra attention to a patient?" lan uttered.

His driver chuckled upon hearing his words. "That's true." After a while, lan felt like sleeping. He pulled his phone close to send Cindy a text before bed. Cindy didn't respond, probably because she had fallen asleep before him. In the end, lan placed this phone down before turning off the lamp beside his bed.

For some reason, he still couldn't fall asleep. He found himself recalling how Cindy had been when she first entered his field. Since then, lan had realized how strong Cindy was-she managed to carry all his luggage and vanity case around while still walking with an attitude.

Furthermore, Cindy's gaze had always been calm and steadfast when she looked at him. When they talked to each other, lan didn't see a hint of admiration in her eyes. She probably didn't fancy me at the start, and she probably isn't charmed by celebrities. Ian was sure of this when Cindy picked fights with him. He knew then that she didn't care how famous he was. At that thought, lan laughed to himself. What an interesting girl.
