Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 552:

Marissa had awakened to the gentle sound of Connor typing on his laptop. As her eyes opened, she noticed him deeply absorbed in his work. She made no sound, content to simply watch him. His presence had a calming effect on her, making her sleep more restful.

Despite her medical expertise, this phenomenon puzzled her. Perhaps a theological scholar could shed light on this mystery?

Connor, initially unaware of Marissa’s awakening, only realized she had been observing him when he finished a document and turned toward her. Her gaze was serene, and her demeanor was notably peaceful after a restful sleep.

He offered a warm smile and whispered gently, “Awake?”

Marissa nodded faintly, stretching slowly before picking up her phone to check her messages.

The first message was from Xander.

“Chief Instructor, my brother attempted to question Connor about Black Mallow’s identity today but came back with nothing. He’s quite upset.”
