After Alice came out from the ward, she walked past Jensen, ignoring his presence. Jensen on the other hand merely watched on.
Her behavior surprised him. He looked at Alice as she gradually left his sight, then turned to look at Heinz, Grace, and Timothy in the ward blankly for quite sometime.
"Aren't you going to chase after her," Heinz said in a low voice. "Brother, don't tell me you don't even want to chase after her."
Jensen hesitated slightly but did not move.
Grace was beginning to feel anxious. She found that the current situation was much worse than she had imagined.
Grace frowned and said, "What's the matter? Jensen, what's wrong with you?"
Shouldn't Jensen be chasing after her at such moment?
Jensen stood immobile for a long time, immersed in his own world.
Heinz was done caring about him.
Grace also felt deeply worried.
A long time had past and Alice had probably taken the elevator down the building, but Jensen was still unresponsive.
Timothy could help but remind him, "Officer Charm, if you don't chase after Alice now, you won't be able to catch up with her. You two should sit down and talk things through. Don't be so indifferent. Otherwise, your feelings will fade."
Jensen came to his senses and said to them after a moment of confusion, "Alright, I'm leaving then."
He finally went after her, but by the time he got to the elevator, Alice was no longer there.
The door of the elevator was closed. Looking at the numbers on the screen, she had already gone down several floors. So he ran down the emergency exit, hoping to catch up with her.
But by the time he got to the lobby, the elevator had long arrived and Alice was nowhere to be seen.
It seemed that Alice had really left.
Jensen looked at the bustling crowd as he stood in the hall. People passed by him one after the other, but none of them were Alice.
He was beginning to panic.
Jensen walked out of the hall quickly and went straight to the parking lot.
Where could Alice be?
She had been driving to work lately, so she would have driven here on her own. With that thought, Jensen rushed to the underground parking lot, but there was no sign of her car, so he went back up to the ground parking lot. Alas, her car wasn't there either. He had no choice but to call her.
Fortunately, Alice answered the phone. "What's the matter?"
Jensen asked anxiously, "Alice, where are you now?"
"I am on my way back. There are some things I have to deal with. Is there anything important?"
Alice sounded indifferent, there was not a single hint of emotion in her voice at all, yet it felt distant.
Jensen felt bitter and flustered hearing her tone. He took a deep breath and said nervously, "I want to see you. Let's go home."
