The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1692

Marcus, looking impeccably dressed and utterly composed, was an enigma.

Sophia began awkwardly. "Marcus, um, did your check-up go well?"

Marcus gave a dismissive snort. "Thanks to you, it went very well."

For some reason, hearing the words "very well" made Sophia's chest feel heavy and congested. Unsettling discomfort washed over her.

Was Marcus' idea of 'going well' suggesting some kind of 'harmony' between him and that nurse?

Her mind whirled with this thought, making Sophia feel like she was about to explode with fury.

Dr. Tam approached respectfully. "Mr. Marcus, where is our nurse? I don't see her around."

Marcus' icy eyes met Dr. Tam's. His tone was ice cold as he said, "She got what she wanted and left."

Dr. Tam looked puzzled. "But why is her phone switched off?"

"How should I know? Our relationship is purely professional. Even though we shared a fleeting moment today, it's not my place to know about her phone issues, is it?"

Dr. Tam looked embarrassed. "Er... yes. You're right, Mr. Marcus. I apologize for the inappropriate question. Our nurse should have informed me after completing your check-up. I'll have to have a word with her when she returns."

Marcus cast a cold glance at the doctor and fell silent.

Sophia's face was a picture of total discomfort.

The 'fleeting moment' Marcus mentioned was like a thorn, which pierced her heart brutally.

Dr. Tam looked around the special examination room, puzzled. His eyes lingered a little longer on the content of the video playing on the screen before he finally switched it off.

He redialed the nurse's number, only to be met with the same unavailable message.

This was really strange. Where had she gone, and why was her phone off?

What he didn't know was that at that very moment, in the storage room next door, Ellinor had dragged the unconscious nurse through the balcony into the storage room and left her on the floor.

Ellinor was the one who switched off the nurse's phone.

After looking at the unconscious nurse on the floor, Bryan, Ida, and Balfour turned their eyes to Ellinor, their expressions all different.
