Chapter 11
He left the hospital. While sitting in the car, Jalen was still thinking about what Marie had asked him.
Why?
He couldn’t answer.
He thought perhaps he was just curious about the woman’s attitude and wanted to find out more.
His phone suddenly rang, dragging him back from his deep thoughts. He rubbed his eyebrows in frustration and picked up the phone. “Say it.”
“Mr. Halton, I checked your schedule for the past five years. And I found there are no crossing places between you and Dr. Gainsford.
“But the strange thing is that Dr. Gainsford disappeared two years ago. No one knows where she went, so it is difficult to find the places she has ever been to in the past two years.
“Do we need to ask Mr. Krause to help investigate?”

Quincy Krause was the king of the underworld. He might be able to find something that could not be found by common methods, so Graham suggested this.
After a long silence, just as Graham thought that Jalen would agree, he heard Jalen say, “No. She is just a doctor. There is no need to pay too much attention to her.”
Graham was surprised that Jalen gave it up.
Before Graham could ask again, Jalen hung up. Graham felt upset, but he knew that he should not ask more.
A few days later, Marie was discharged from the hospital. Elaina personally handled the discharge
formalities for her.
“Although the lesion has been successfully removed, there is still a possibility of relapse. So remember to go to the hospital regularly for a check-up and keep a healthy lifestyle.” At the entrance of the hospital, Elaina reminded her again.
“Got it.” Marie nodded. “Thank you, Dr. Gainsford.”
“How are you going back? By taxi?” Elaina was surprised that no one came to pick her up.
She hadn’t seen Jalen for several days. She thought that he would come when Marie was discharged today.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t show up. For a moment, she really wondered if he cared about Marie or not.
As soon as she said that, Marie pointed to the car not far away and said, “Jalen is here to pick me up.
Hearing this, Elaina also looked over.
The car stopped beside them. Jalen got out of the car. They had not seen each other for a few days, but he kept a cold face without showing any emotion.
“Are you done?” He spoke and looked at Marie.

“Well, thanks to Dr. Gainsford, she helped me do it,” Marie answered, looking at Jalen and Dr. Gainsford in
turn.
Marie remembered the question she asked Jalen a few days ago. He did not answer at that time, but Marie had that feeling.
However, now, she felt that Jalen seemed to have no interest in Elaina. Marie thought maybe she was wrong.
Jalen opened the car door and said to her, “Let’s go.”
Unfortunately, Jalen did not understand that. He thought that Elaina was saying this to him, and his face immediately darkened.
