Chapter 816: Did He Run Downstairs?

No way around it, life in the research laboratory was too dull. Naturally, when they saw the always formidable Noah Drexler being given the cold shoulder by a woman and not daring to say anything, they couldn’t help but glance a few more times.

"Are you all just so free?!" Noah Drexler’s eyes grew cold, and his angry voice echoed throughout the research lab.

Upon hearing the man’s angry voice, everyone was startled and only then did they come to their senses.

"Doctor, I’m going to the bathroom..." The brown-haired man was the first to seize the opportunity to flee quickly, followed closely by the others.

"I’m going to continue my experiments." The blonde-haired doctor gave an awkward smile and also turned to leave.

Seeing everyone leave, Noah Drexler’s expression didn’t improve in the slightest. He then turned around and strode out of the research lab.

...

Summer Shawcross took the elevator down to the first floor. Just as she stepped out, a man dressed only in a shirt and trousers suddenly appeared in front of her, reaching out and grabbing her wrist.

Summer Shawcross was momentarily stunned by the sudden appearance of the man, instinctively feeling a bit puzzled.

She had just come down the elevator alone, how did he get here?

Thinking this, she instinctively glanced in the direction he came from, realizing there was a staircase there. Did he run down?

She was dazed for a few seconds before finally coming to her senses, her first reaction being to wring free from his grasp, then turning to head towards the exit.

Seeing this, Noah Drexler furrowed his brows, quickly turned around, and caught up with her, overtaking her and opening the rear door of the car for her.

Upon seeing this, Summer Shawcross glanced at him without any intention of getting into the car.

His earlier actions in the research lab made her very angry, even somewhat heartbroken.

He didn’t realize that when she watched him test drugs on himself and even cut himself with a knife, that feeling was even more unbearable than when she was in the throes of her own health issues!

Because these two kinds of discomfort were different, one was merely physical, whereas the other was an internal torment of guilt and anguish.

The next moment, Summer Shawcross didn’t get into the car. Instead, she turned abruptly and walked off in a particular direction.

"Where are you going?" Seeing her not get in, Noah Drexler’s expression changed slightly.

"I’m walking back myself." Summer Shawcross did not look back, simply replied calmly, and continued walking forward.

The Hillside Villa is very close by, she would be home in ten minutes, and right now, she felt stifled and needed some air.

Upon hearing this, Noah Drexler’s gaze shifted, and the next moment, he closed the car door and turned around without hesitation, catching up to her swiftly.

Along the way, Summer Shawcross didn’t look at the man beside her, merely continued walking silently towards home.

It was the height of autumn, and the leaves by the road were starting to turn yellow. Despite daily cleaning, the sidewalk still had heaps of fallen leaves.

Summer Shawcross kept her head down, stepping on the dry leaves as she walked home.

Until she reached The Hillside Villa, she hadn’t uttered a word.

"Boss, madam?" The security at the door looked at the two returning from outside, astonished, quickly opening the door for them in surprise.

Summer Shawcross strode inside.

Upon returning, Summer headed directly to the bedroom. As soon as she entered and turned to close the door, an arm suddenly reached in, holding the door.
