Max did not return. Nora did not wait for him. She collected her torn clothes and changed into them when the nurse told her that her bills were settled and she could leave at any moment.
As she dragged her exhausted body out of the hospital, a car was already waiting for her in the parking lot. Nora inhaled a deep breath and walked to the car, the door opened as she approached and it disappeared with the speed of lightning, the moment Nora took it.
"If i did not know any better, i would have believed that running a hospital takes no effort." she whispered as the car finally stopped. Her eyes scan the surroundings. She was on the highway, around ten miles away from the city. If he wanted to talk to her, he could take her to any cafe or a private place. Why here?
"My staff has always been competent." Alric replied in a lazy voice. It did not match with the speed he had driven the car at all. "Though I am not sure about you, Nora."
