Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 231

Dr. Lennon was busy preparing for his afternoon appointments, but there was a noticeable tension in his demeanor.

Dr. Harper, another physician, passed by and gave him a curious glance.

"Dr. Lennon, why didn't you join us for lunch? I didn't see you taking a break in your office either. Where were you?"

Dr. Lennon was visibly startled, dropping the papers he was holding and offering an awkward smile. "I was prepping for a procedure."

"A simple procedure needs that much prep time?"

In today's world, a routine outpatient procedure was hardly considered a major operation.

"The patient was feeling a bit anxious, so I took some time to talk with her," Dr. Lennon replied, maintaining his smile, though a bead of sweat trickled down his forehead.

Dr. Harper didn't press further, nodding as he walked away.

Sylvia, who had overheard the exchange, quickly slipped out of the gathering crowd, making her way in the direction Bridget had gone.

Bridget wasn't feeling well, and her pace was slow; by now, she had only just left the clinic building.
