Rodrick comforted Bianca.
After the doctor finished the checkup, he told the two of them, “Don’t worry, that wasn’t really coughing up blood. It was just a bit of blood in the phlegm from the lungs. It happened because some capillaries broke when the patient coughed hard. It’s a minor issue, something the body can heal on its own.”
“That’s good.” Bianca finally let out a sigh of relief.
After the doctor left, she looked at Rodrick a bit embarrassed and said, “I just got scared, really freaked out. The only person I could think of was you, so I called you. I didn’t bother your rest, did I?”
“No, now you can relax, right?”
Bianca smiled again and nodded hard, “Yeah.”
“Good thing you came.”
Theodore rushed over too, and Bianca told him what happened. That’s when he finally felt relieved.
“These days I’ve troubled you.” Theodore thanked Rodrick. “Bianca’s been working hard taking care of her mom too. Leave this to me. You young people should go out this weekend, relax a bit.”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to remind Bianca, “You go ahead and have a meal with Rod to thank him for me and your mom. When your mom gets out of the hospital, we’ll officially invite Rod over to our place.”

Bianca couldn’t hide her joy. “Great!”
Before leaving, Bianca specifically reminded Theodore not to forget to pick up Elowen’s test report from the lab.
After Theodore said hi to the caregiver, he went to the lab. While he was looking through a pile of files for Elowen’s test report, a familiar name flashed by.
His rummaging paused for a second, then he flipped back to that page.
Lila Harrington.
Lyla Harrington.
The pronunciation was about the same, but the characters were different.
The age… did match up.
It was probably just people with similar names, Theodore thought to himself.
Then I felt relieved and kept looking for Elowen’s test report, not thinking about it anymore.
At the hospital entrance, Bianca asked Rodrick if there was any restaurant he especially wanted to go to.
Rodrick said no.
Bianca suggested going to Placidity Eatery again, and Rodrick didn’t mind.
The man, who had been walking normally, suddenly stopped in his
tracks.

“What’s wrong?” Bianca looked at him, confused.
Rodrick’s eyes just landed not far away.
Bianca followed the gaze and saw Britney and Federico right away.
She was stunned, “Why are they together again?”
This sentence made a sharp, cold look flash in Rodrick’s eyes.
It’s just that Bianca didn’t notice.
She guessed to herself, “Could it be that Britney got together with Federico at the Celestia Club that time?”
This discovery made Bianca really dismissive, “Rod, you’re just a secretary, but you sure had some tricks up your sleeve.”
Rodrick didn’t say anything about it, he just calmly looked away.
He spoke even more coldly than before, “Let’s go, time to eat.”
Bianca quickly caught up with his pace, but halfway she still turned back and gave the two of them a meaningful look.
Britney also saw Rodrick and Bianca.
Sure enough, just like she expected, Rodrick was called away by Bianca again.
At that time, she seriously told him it’s over.
He didn’t even give an answer, just took Bianca’s call and left.
It was like he didn’t even want to say one more word to her!
Britney never knew it was so hard to end a relationship and have a good breakup!

The ending was always messier than the beginning.
But it didn’t matter.
She already put a period on this relationship.
