Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 735

Chapter 735: If his suspicion turned out to be the truth, ...

When Reese didn’t speak even after a long while, Arwen’s brows tugged in a frown.

But just when she would have gotten up to leave, he spoke up, "There is a way."

"There is?" she asked, her eyes brightening up with hope.

Reese nodded, standing up. "Let’s go," he said.

Arwen paused. Her head tilted up slightly to look up at him in confusion. "Where?"

"To find out," he responded as though it was very obvious.

However, Arwen hadn’t expected it. So, when he said that, she looked around. "Right now? You made a reservation here to —"

"It’s fine," he simply dismissed it. "I will ask Ivy to make it for another time. It won’t be difficult." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Arwen stared at him, not knowing how to react. She wasn’t new there. She knew how Mason d’Or’s reservations worked. The guests have to wait on the waitlist for a year or more to receive a confirmed invitation. This wasn’t something as simple as booking the table again the next day.

But seeing Reese not care about this long-awaited chance, she felt a deep sense of gratitude. Her lips curled up slowly in an appreciative smile. "Thank you, Dr. Calvin. I don’t know how I should thank you for this."

Reese shook his head. "You don’t have to. I am just doing my job." And with that, he gestured her to the exit. "Shall we?"

She nodded. Then, getting up, she made her way outside with him.

Getting into Reese’s car, she informed Alfred to follow them.

————

"Isn’t your clinic closed today?" Arwen asked when she saw him pulling up the car in the familiar surroundings.

Reese unbuckled his seatbelt, replying, "I made a few arrangements."

"Oh." She nodded, undoing her seatbelt before opening the door of the car to step out.

"Dr. Calvin!"

Arwen turned to look when she heard someone call. And at a distance, she saw a woman standing in her casual t-shirt and trousers.

"Cathleen," Reese reciprocated smoothly, approaching her with his hand out. "Thank you for coming at such short notice. If it hadn’t been important, I wouldn’t have asked."

The woman shook her head. "It’s alright, Dr. Calvin. This is a part of my job, and I was just resting at him."

Arwen heard them quietly. She didn’t interrupt. And soon, Reese turned around to look at her.

"This is Cathleen, our medical laboratory scientist," he introduced, explaining, "She would be helping us take your blood for further diagnosis." Then, turning to Cathleen, he did the same. "And this Arwen Quinn, the patient I briefed you about."

Cathleen nodded, forwarding her hand to Arwen. "It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Quinn."

Arwen took her head and smiled back. "Thank you for coming at such short notice."

"Oh, that’s completely fine."

Soon after, they got inside the clinic. Reese walked with Arwen to the lab where her blood was drawn.

Arwen’s brows knitted briefly when the needle stung her.

But just when Reese would have asked if she was fine, she asked him, "With a blood test, will we be able to find out?"

"This isn’t a simple blood test", he explained. We will be trying to look for a specific drug, if there is any in your system. We aren’t very sure if we will be able to find out or not, but I assure you we will try our best."

Arwen nodded, understanding.

"It’s done," Cathleen said as she put the blood sample away. "I will go and look into it straight away. Will let you know when I find out something."

Reese nodded as he watched her leave. When he turned back, Arwen was already on her feet.

"She will need some time, and the report won’t be coming tonight," he said, explaining. "So, for today, you can go back and rest."

Arwen nodded. Even though she wanted to know it as soon as possible. She knew there were certain things she could not force out. All she could do was wait patiently for it.

"Thank you, Dr. Calvin. I truly don’t know how to thank you," she said, and Reese looked at her, smiling.

"If it’s so hard, I can tell you a way."
