Chapter 97
For the rest of the time, I was on tenterhooks and could onlyugh at everyone''s jokes half-
heartedly. I only breathed a sigh of relief when Mason sent me a text: [She''s back in the hotel.]
I called Cecilia but her phone was off. She had probably fallen asleep. She would normally sleep
when she was drunk.
As we had to work the next day, dinner ended early. I slept as soon as I got back to the hotel room,
mainly because I did not rest well in the hospitalst night. Besides, Dr. Lynch''s medication was
effective, so I had been sleeping very well the past few days.

I slept through the night. The next morning, Xander knocked on my door and said that he wanted to
take m e for breakfast on an ind.
I did not understand why he had to make breakfast seem so sophisticated and was also surprised
that there was actually a ce called ''Breakfast Ind''. It was said to be an ind dedicated to the
world''s various special breakfasts. One could only get there with a boat.
I gave in. How could one be so fussy when it came to eating breakfast?
I did not want to go at first, but when I remembered that Cecilia was drunkst night, I thought it
would be nice if I could take her out to have something to eat. Hence, I pulled out my phone to give
Cecilia a call.
The phone rang for a very long time before I finally heard Cecilia''s groggy andnguid voice, "Who''s
this?! Why are you calling me this early in the morning?!’’
This brat was probably still hungover from being drunkst night. I yelled, "What do you mean early
in the morning? The sun is already up. Get up! I''m taking you to have a special breakfast."
Cecilia respondedzily, "Send me the address and I''ll goter."
"Hurry up. I still have work to doter." I was about to hang up when I heard a deep and low voice of
a man from the phone. "You’re awake?"
Was there a man in Cecilia''s room? No way, she was drunkst night, right? How could she still
have the energy?
"You brat. What did you dost night? You’d better be honest with me,” I deliberately lowered my
voice and questioned her.
"Uh, I''ll tell youter." Cecilia hung up the phone after saying that.
Just look at how guilty she sounded! She must be hiding something from me. I suddenly recalled
what had happenedst night. I had asked Mason to pick her up, and Cecilia was the type who
could no longer recognize anyone after getting drunk. Could it be...
I broke out in a cold sweat in fear. I quickly found Mason''s number and called him. If Cecilia did
anything inappropriate to Dr. Lynch, then I would be the culprit.
The phone rang a few times before Mason picked it u p. I quickly asked, "Where are you, Dr.
Lynch?"
"Outside. What''s wrong?” Mason''s voice was crisp and clear from the phone. He did not sound like
he had just woken up, nor did he sound like the man from earlier.
I was instantly relieved and said awkwardly, "Hehe, nothing. I just wanted to thank you for helping
mest night by buying you breakfast."
"Forget breakfast. I still have things to do. Let''s meet u p for dinner when I''m free!" Mason declined
my invitation.
After making sure that he was not with Cecilia, I was relieved. We exchanged a few polite words
before hanging up the phone.
"What do you mean by this, Wandy? Do you hate having breakfast with me that much?” Xander
voiced his displeasure as soon as I hung up the call.
I looked up at him in confusion and asked dazedly," What do you mean?" "Look at yourself! We’re
just having breakfast together yet you’re calling all your friends toe along. Am I that bad?"
Iughed aloud. What a childish man. I ignored him.
We arrived at the beach, and a speedboat was already waiting to bring us to the sea.
We passed countless inds along the way, each with a special name to attract tourists. One of
them was called ''Outlying Ind'', which looked particrly beautiful.
Unfortunately, it seemed to be a private ind that was not open to the public.
"Look, that''s such a beautiful ind." I pointed at Outlying Ind and told Xander to look.
Xander nced at it and said mildly, "Inds are all the same. What’s so nice about that one?"
"It''s not the same. That ind doesn''t only have a unique appearance but the houses on top of it
were renovated in a unique way as well. If it were open to the public, it would definitely attract a lot
of tourists," I said in excitement.
"Looks like you not only share simr appearances but also preferences," Xander said mildly
without a single expression on his face.
"What do you mean by that?" His words left me baffled.
"My mother and her friend bought this ind. They''ve been working on it for three years now and
will probably open it to the public soon."
