Chapter 200 Nolan raised his head, most likely hearing Mikaylaâs words. But instead of looking at her, he glanced at Celeste.
Celesteâs eyes brightened slightly, and she smiled happily.
But he didnât greet her. He only glanced at her before withdrawing his attention passing them by, and walking forward with the doctors.
Her smile faded a lot as she saw that.
Mikayla was puzzled. âWhy didnât he greet you? Is he angry with you because you went to the bar last night?â
Celeste shook her head. âHe had surgery last night and didnât go home. He didnât even know I was out.â
âThen why did he act like he didnât know you?â
âHe should be here for a visit and exchange. There are too many colleagues around him. If he greeted me, heâd have to introduce me to them. Itâd be a waste of time.â
âHas he always been like this to you?â
Celeste smiled. âNot really. He has fulfilled his responsibilities and treated me with the utmost respect. Besides, I can always see his handsome face so I have nothing to be dissatisfied with.â
Mikayla was speechless Birds of the same feather did flock together. Both of them were hopeless romantics.
They walked around the garden for a while. Then, a nurse came over to ask Mikayla for a checkâup.
When they returned to the ward, Connor came. He spotted Celeste and greeted her warmly, âHello, Ms. Reign.â
âHello, Mr. Barnes. Is your forehead okay?â
âIâm fine now. Iâve always been in good health. Last night was just an accident.â
Seeing they were getting along, Mikayla said, âCeleste, you chat with him for a Chapter 200 while. Iâll go for my checkâup.â
Connor informed, âMikayla, there was a problem at the company. Jay went there early in the morning to deal with it. Heâll come to take you home later.â
âHave you heard , Kay? He really cares about you now,â Celeste teased.
Mikayla glared at her before going to the examination room with the nurse.
After completing a series of tests, she returned to the ward and ran into Mike, who was holding a folder.
âMr. Ashford why are you here?â she asked casually.
Surprisingly, Mike, who was usually neither humble nor arrogant to her, looked nervous when he heard her voice.
âHello, Mrs. Miller. Mr. Miller is inside. Iâll wait for you two downstairs.
After saying that, he bolted away.
Mikayla was dumbfounded. What happened? Why did Mike react that way?
Just as she was wondering, Jerome walked out of the ward.
âHave you finished the checkâup?â he asked.
She nodded and looked back at Mike, who had disappeared into the elevator. Then, she asked Jerome curiously, âDid Mr. Ashford do something wrong? Why did he run away so quickly?â
Upon hearing that, Jerome asked calmly, âAre you close to him? Not only did you give him a gift, but you also cared about him.â
Mikayla felt confused. âWhen did I care about him? Iâm just curious about his strangeness â
He couldnât help but ask again, âThen why did you say that you would also block the wine bottle for Mike if he were in the same danger?â
Celeste was her good friend, so it was understandable if she would do that. Why would she do the same to Mike?
