The doctor entered the room, took Reese's temperature, and inquired about her physical condition.

Then, turning to Lukas, he stated, "Sir, the patient is now in stable condition and can be discharged."

Lukas's expression froze momentarily; the turnaround was too swift, even for someone as composed and unruffled as him.

He recalled the words he had exchanged with Reese just earlier, and his countenance turned somewhat unsightly. His voice stiffened. "Her health hasn't fully recovered; she can't be discharged yet."

The doctor assumed this was a case of family members being overly concerned and explained, "While the patient was on the verge of shock, it was a bodily stress response. As long as recovery follows, there shouldn't be any major issues."

Lukas was about to say something further, but Reese immediately interjected, "Mr. Strakovski, hospitals are filled with germs. Who knows, I might have been fine all along but could end up catching something else. I'd rather be discharged." Upon hearing Reese's words, Lukas's expression subtly shifted: "Then let's leave the hospital. I'll have someone handle the discharge procedures."

The doctor smiled and nodded before heading out.

Reese glanced at Lukas's expression, which seemed less than favorable.

She felt somewhat speechless. This man was truly stubborn. Conversations with him probably required a brick in hand to pave the way for communication. Otherwise, she could spend her whole life in a standoff with him without changing his mind.

Lukas's arrangements swiftly completed the discharge procedures.

Reese intended to head straight back to the hotel.

However, just as she had exited with Lukas, a car pulled up directly in front of them.

Reese looked up at him, and Lukas cast a cool glance. "Get in the car; what are you standing there for?"

Reese considered for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Strakovski, we're not staying in the same hotel."
