Chapter 605 Chapter 605 Why Are You Out Here Alone Linsey felt much better with Dolores beside her.
The two chatted for a while until Dolores got a work call.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine here. Go take care of work. I'll walk you out," Linsey said with a smile as she stood up.
Dolores wanted to stay longer, but she had an important client to meet, so she had no choice but to leave.

Linsey nodded. "Alright, I will." After seeing Dolores off, Linsey turned to head back to her ward.
As she reached the corner, she spotted Jeffery slowly making his way down the hall, bracing himself against the wall. He was alone.
Linsey hesitated for a moment but decided not to step in. Jeffery was a Lawson- sick or not, he surely had plenty of people looking after him. Besides, with the history between them, she doubted he needed or wanted her concern.
With that in mind, she walked past him without a second glance.
Just as she passed, his hoarse voice rang out behind her. "Linsey, I'm right here. Can't you see me?" She paused, slightly surprised. For someone as proud and aloof as Jeffery, taking the initiative to talk to her was unexpected.
Raising an eyebrow, Linsey turned back, a playful smile curling on her lips. "Good morning, Mr. Lawson. Out for a morning stroll?" Jeffery's face remained rigid, his lips twitching as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Linsey wasn't going to wait. She smirked and turned to leave.
"Wait." His voice cout more urgent this time.
Linsey rolled her eyes. "What do you want?" she asked lazily. Jeffery opened his mouth but hesitated, struggling for words. She had little patience for his silence and started walking away.

Startled, Linsey spun around and hurried back to him. "Take it slow," she said as she bent down to help him. Jeffery blinked in surprise, clearly not expecting her to cback.
"Lean against the wall. You're too heavy forto hold up," she grumbled..
Swallowing his pride, Jeffery braced himself against the wall brief silence, be averted his gaze and heave again After a muttered, "Thank you."
Linsey let out a dry chuckle, amusement flickering in her eyes.
m "You don't seem used to saying thank you. Didn't anyone teach you that when you thank someone, you should at least look them in the eye?"
A faint trace of embarrassment crossed Jeffery's face. He quickly turned to face her. “Sorry. And... Thank you." Linsey tilted her head. "Why are you out here alone? Didn't your parents arrange someone to take care of you?" At her question, a flicker of loneliness flashed across Jeffery's expression. "I sent the caregiver to getsfood. My parents are still searching for a bone marrow donor. And... I just wanted a moment alone." Linsey gave a small nod. "Alright then, take care of yourself. I'm heading back."
