Suddenly, Vincent let go of Elaine and moved his body far away from hers. Then, he pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but his gaze was like a bottomless chasm.
The way he stared at her made her feel at a loss for what to do.
Also, Elaine noticed that there was a change in Dr. Perkins' gaze. It became deep and unfathomable.
However, she didn't know what happened to him. The moment he let go of her, she hurriedly ran to a corner and didn't dare to ask him.
Although she knew that Dr. Perkins was just teasing her, she still felt that something was off.
But she couldn't tell what was wrong.
As an inexperienced young lady, she didn't know much about this matter.
"Sir..."
Slowly, Morgan walked down the stairs.
"Find someone to send her to the city." After Vincent spoke, he turned around and went upstairs.
In a daze, Elaine remained silent.
Even Morgan was speechless.
It was until they heard the sound of the door being slammed that Elaine asked uneasily, "Morgan, is he angry?"
However, Morgan was shocked too. "Miss Jacob, don't worry about it. We had been known that the mister has a bad temper. I'll go up and check on him. Please wait for a moment."
Hurriedly, Elaine said, "Why don't I go up and apologize?"
Could it be that she had shouted at Dr. Perkins just now, which made him angry?
"It's alright. I'll go up and have a look first."
After Morgan comforted her, he headed straight to Vincent's room. The moment he entered Vincent's bedroom, there was no one inside except the sound of running water from the bathroom.
Suspicious, he wondered why was Vincent taking a shower as soon as he came up?
Then, he knocked on the bathroom door. "Sir?"
The sound of the water in the bathroom paused for a moment, and then Vincent's muffled voice was heard through the thick door. "I'm fine. You may leave."
"Okay."
Confused, Morgan left the room. On his way toward the stairs, he seemed to have thought of something. Immediately, he stopped in his tracks, and his eyes widened. It was unbelievable.
About Vincent's condition earlier... Was it really the same thing as what he had thought it would be...?
Suddenly, Morgan flushed as he felt that Vincent had finally come to his senses.
As a matter of fact, he even had a feeling as if Vincent had finally grown up and understood what love meant.
After Elaine waited downstairs for a long time, Morgan finally returned.
However, she noticed that his expression seemed a little weird, so she asked anxiously, "Is Dr. Perkins mad at me?"
"Ahem." As Morgan cleared his throat, he answered, "Oh, Miss Jacob, what are you talking about? I think sir is very fond of you."
It was to the point that Vincent even felt an indescribable feeling toward Miss Jacob.
"But... why did Dr. Perkins seem angry just now?"
"He was not angry. He was just..."
At that moment, he didn't know how to explain it to her.
As Elaine blinked her eyes, she asked, "What's the matter?"
Afraid that she would feel embarrassed, Morgan didn't dare to say much, so he tried to find a suitable explanation, "Mister wasn't feeling well, so he decided to go upstairs first. Miss Jacob, he's not angry with you, so don't think too much about it."
However, when Elaine heard that, she became even more anxious. "He's not feeling well? What's wrong with Dr. Perkins? He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly feel uncomfortable? Does he need to see a doctor?"
Calmly, Morgan replied, "There's no need for him to see a doctor. He just needs some time to calm down."
Then, Elaine became even more suspicious and puzzled. Wasn't he supposed to go to the hospital to have a check-up if he was not feeling well? How could he be fine by trying to calm himself down?
