Reese and Cole were both taken aback and turned to look at Magnus.

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward and uncomfortable.

Magnus's expression became rigid. With Elena making a noise in the bathroom, he had a headache. He thought, can't she control herself for a little while?

Cole looked at Magnus with a knowing look and said, "Mr. Xavier, is there someone else in the bathroom?"

Magnus looked embarrassed and forced a smile. "It's just a little rendezvous. They don't like being seen."

Cole chuckled, a hint of irony in his tone. "Oh, is that so?"

Magnus's gaze turned cold. "What else could Director Hopkins possibly think? I was just keeping someone company. It didn't interfere with your business."

Cole's expression hardened. "Of course, it didn't. I was simply curious. No need to be so tense."

He couldn't do anything to Magnus now, but that didn't mean he couldn't find a way to get back at him eventually. Remembering what Magnus had done to Reese, Cole decided to put revenge on hold.

After Cole finished speaking, he left with Reese.

As they reached the ward's entrance, Reese stopped abruptly, glanced at Magnus

on the hospital bed, and said in an enigmatic tone, "Mr. Xavier, if you wander around at night, you might just encounter a ghost."

With that, she left with Cole.

Magnus's face twisted in anger. He had never been humiliated like this before.

Only after he heard their footsteps fade did he mutter, "Elena, you can come out now."

Elena's face was red as she slowly emerged from the bathroom.
