Chapter 2607
Then..
Okay.
Kyson, please take good care of Dulcie.
Shes not feeling well.
Be gentle with her.
Sally spoke with a tone thick with concern.novelbin
Kyson felt a twinge of irritation but remained silent, merely nodding in acknowledgment.
As Sally departed, she glanced back repeatedly, her worry plainly evident.
Observing Sallys concern, Kyson gently draped an arm around Dulcies shoulders and pulled her close, offering her a comforting smile despite her puzzled look.
This seemed to reassure Sally, and she finally left with a lighter step.
Once Sally disappeared from view, Kysons arm relaxed from around Dulcies shoulders as he stepped into the elevator.
Did you make an appointment? Internal medicine, right? Which floor? A N G E L A s L I B R A R Y Kysons voice was crisp and devoid of emotion.
It took Dulcie a moment to gather her thoughts.
She stepped into the elevator beside him and replied, Yes, Ive scheduled with a specialist on the third floor.
Kyson pressed the button for the third floor and then fell silent.
Dulcie stood rigidly in the narrow, quiet space, unsure where to cast her gaze.
Although only ten days had passed, it seemed like an eternity since she last saw Kyson, almost as if he might have perished somewhere out there.
I was swamped at work when you were rushed to the hospital with acute gastroenteritis.
Im truly sorry, Kyson said, breaking the silence.
What ? Dulcies voice was tinged with confusion as she looked up, only then realizing Kyson was apologizing.
Its okay.
Theres no need for apologies, she reassured him gently.
Her bouts of illness were once solitary struggles, but now she had Sallys support and Ryder, who had called emergency services for her.
She felt a deep sense of gratitude.
Kysons hands formed fists inside his suit pockets, a pang of guilt washing over him.
When Sally had informed him about Dulcies condition, he was on his way to meet Lucinda.
He had debated whether to turn back, but ultimately, he had continued on to Lucinda, a decision he now deeply regretted.
Ive been away for ten days.
Arent you curious about where Ive been? Kyson inquired, attempting to gauge her interest.
Dulcie nodded initially; then, after a moments thought, she shook her head, sending mixed signals.
