Bride To Be Not Me (Janice and Simon) novel Chapter 220

If Simon was infected, it wouldn't be good news for Elsie either.

A tense silence filled the car.

Elsie couldn't shake the unease creeping up her spine. She knew she needed to visit a specialized testing center that afternoon.

But after spending the entire day helping Simon register his company, it was already too late. She had no choice but to schedule an appointment for tomorrow.

"What are you doing?"

Simon's voice rang out as he stepped into the hotel suite, company registration papers in hand. Elsie stood by the window with her back to him, engrossed in scheduling her test appointment.

At the sound of his voice, she froze, her fingers trembling. In her panic, her phone slipped from her grasp and crashed onto the floor.

Simon's sharp eyes caught the text flashing across her screen—CDC Appointment Registration.

The CDC?

How dare Elsie…

Simon's expression hardened. "Do you think I'm infected?"

Elsie quickly regained her composure. "No, you've misunderstood. Ms. Burnett was talking about her check-up today, so I thought I'd get a full-body exam too. It's always better to be safe, right?"

"And why exactly do you need to go to the CDC for a routine check-up?"

"The CDC offers a variety of medical tests, Simon. If you took a moment to look into it, you'd know that. This kind of check-up is essential, and I've even scheduled one for you. It's all for your own benefit, after all," Elsie explained.

Simon shot her a cold glance. A flicker of irritation stirred in his chest.
