Joycelyn felt a little dazed but didn’t think too much about it. She washed her hands twice at the nearby sink, then grabbed her flowers and fruit basket and caught up with Ellison.

“Goodbye… big fat cat…” she said, not forgetting to bid farewell to the kitten.

Clearly, she wasn’t affected by Ellison’s words in the slightest.

Ellison slowed his pace, waiting for her to catch up. As he turned to look back, he noticed she was gently saying goodbye to the kitten.

Her fair face broke into a sweet, refreshing smile, and her entire demeanor was warm and pure, in stark contrast to her usual composed and gentle self.

It was clear that she really loved animals.

“By the way, when can we get Rocky back?” Joycelyn asked, holding the bouquet in one hand and the fruit basket in the other.

“You should ask William,” Ellison replied.

When she got closer, Ellison leaned forward and naturally took the fruit basket from her. His clean, fresh scent enveloped her, and Joycelyn held her breath, staring into his deep eyes.

Ellison slightly raised his chin, his gaze soft but steady as he looked at her frozen expression. He could feel her unease, the tension in her body.

“Thank you,” Joycelyn said, realizing how intimate the space between them was. She quickly touched her face–thankfully, her mask was still on.

“Let’s go,” she said, breaking eye contact and glancing down at her feet, walking a little faster.

When they reached the elevator, Joycelyn automatically stood as far away from him as possible, clearly uncomfortable.

Once they reached the door of Isolde’s room, Joycelyn took off her mask, moved closer to Ellison, and entered the room behind him.

“Isolde,” she called sweetly.

Isolde had been eagerly waiting, and upon seeing her, she immediately stood up from her wheelchair with a smile.
