Chapter 0457
It had been several days since Dylan left Suzy’s place.
He thought she might call to check on him, but she didn’t.
Not a single call, not even a message.
He should have been happy about this. After all, it meant she wouldn’t be dragged into his mess anymore. But the sense of emptiness in his heart grew, uncontrollably spreading.
The unease deepened when he received word from the person secretly protecting her, reporting that she had been frequenting nightclubs lately.
It became clear that her talk of reconsidering their relationship wasn’t driven by rekindled feelings but rather by sympathy and gratitude.
The more he thought about it, the more restless Dylan became. He summoned Desmond. ” The last few doses of medicine haven’t been sitting well with me. Find a doctor and figure out what’s wrong.”
Desmond, who had worked with Dylan for years, didn’t need an explanation to understand the real intention behind his words.
With a quick flicker in his gaze, he suggested, “The prescription was given by Miss Frost. Most doctors wouldn’t understand her methods. Why don’t I call her directly and ask?”
Dylan glanced at him. “You haven’t even tried; how do you know other doctors wouldn’t understand?”
Desmond chuckled. “Miss Frost is a miracle doctor. If just anyone could decipher her prescriptions, miracle doctors would be everywhere!”
He continued with a grin, “This concerns your health, Sir. We can’t afford any mistakes. If you’re worried I might say something inappropriate, I’ll contact her right in front of you.”
Without waiting for Dylan’s permission, Desmond pulled out his phone and dialed Suzy’s number.
It rang several times before she answered. “What is it?”
“Miss Frost, it’s me. Mr. Dylan has been feeling unwell after taking the recent medication. If you’re available, could you come over to check on him?”
“Sure,” Suzy replied curtly, saying only one word before ending the call.
The moment he realized she was coming, Dylan felt a wave of nervousness. He wanted to see her, yet he was afraid of dragging her into his troubles again. Torn between emotions, he agonized over it for several minutes before finally

surrendering to his heart.
Just this once.
He told himself this would be the last time he saw her.
After this, he would never see her again.
He also told himself that after this, he would assign more people to secretly protect her. Besides, with her skills, it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to hurt her.
After giving himself this mental pep talk, Dylan went to the lounge, changed his clothes, shaved, and tidied his hair, preparing for Suzy’s arrival.
However, as time dragged on, nearly two hours passed before there was finally a knock at the office door.
Before speaking, Dylan took a deep breath. “Come in!”
The door opened, and when Allen’s face came into view, the light in Dylan’s eyes instantly dimmed. “Why is it you?”
“Why not me?” Allen raised an eyebrow. “You weren’t feeling well, so our boss sent me to check on you. Don’t worry, my medical skills may not be on par with hers, but they’re not far behind. Come on, let me examine you.”
Dylan was speechless.
So, he’d waited all this time for nothing.
He sat down reluctantly as Allen pulled out a stethoscope and performed a quick check. After a couple of minutes, Allen concluded, “Everything seems normal. The discomfort you’re feeling is likely due to taking too much medication recently, which may your stomach.

“It’s nothing serious. Just take two doses of medicine to regulate your stomach, and you’ll feel better in no time.”
As he spoke, Allen pulled out a notepad, scribbled a prescription, and placed it on Dylan’s desk. “Have your assistant get these from the pharmacy. This won’t interfere with the medication Boss prescribed–just take both as directed.”
