Chapter 21 His Blood Was Even Pumped with Excitement

"When did this happen?" Ryan frowned, his eyes a little harsh.

"The day before yesterday. It seemed to happen suddenly, and the entire operation was quick," Rowena deliberately omitted the part about her collaboration with Rosalind, wanting to avoid triggering Ryan's anger again.

But with Ryan's years of experience navigating both the underworld and legitimate circles, how could he not pick up on the issue?

"How do you know all that detail?" Ryan looked at Rowena with more scrutiny in his eyes, "Your people can at most investigate the fact that there was a transfer. They should not be able to investigate the state of the person involved clearly, right?"

"Haha." Rowena felt guilty when Ryan looked at her. She laughed dryly. The relationship between the brother and sister was really difficult. Couldn't she have some privacy? "Actually, Rosalind came to the clinic early the day before yesterday to look for me..."

She explained everything in detail.

"Hehe, I knew that your actions would definitely be discovered, but I didn't expect that the first one to discover it would be Rosalind." After listening, Ryan did not show any surprise. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Rowena, I feel awkward for you regarding the current situation."

Rowena turned her head away and did not look at him at all, thinking to herself, "What kind of person is this? He can even be so bold and confident when giving belated advice?"

"However, you shouldn't be so stupid as to not use the shares in your hands at all, right?" Ryan asked.

"How could that be?" Rowena rolled her eyes, "To act for Rosalind to see, I did sell the 50 million Gale Group shares in my hand, but Jameson took them away, which was equivalent to not losing it. The money given to Rosalind was extracted from a part of Heartbeating."

"This is the only thing you haven't screwed up since I saw you this time." Ryan nodded and approved her act, "You should know that in this city, you can't let anyone related to Gale Group know about your relationship with Heartbeating."

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Rowena seemed to recall something and asked, "If Mason's matter is related to Rosalind, what do you plan to do?"

"Are you afraid that if we touch Rosalind, you won't be able to get back your Gale Group bank statements and shares?" Ryan sneered, "Don't worry, we will cast a long line. We won't touch her for at least a month."

"Alright." Getting a pleasant answer, Rowena picked up the pillow on the sofa and stood up, "I'm going to sleep. You should rest early too."

Looking at Rowena, who still looked young in front of him, Ryan could not help but smile, but his face quickly darkened.

Looking at the current situation, the White family had the intention of extending their influence to America. Moreover, their target was very likely to be the Gale Group. In this case, if Rowena continued to purchase Gale Group, it was very likely that she would have a direct confrontation with the White family. At that time... The situation would be even more complicated.

He sighed helplessly, picked up a pillow like Rowena did, and walked into the guest bedroom.

The next morning, when Rowena woke up, she found that Ryan had already disappeared from the house.

She was also used to it. Since the two of them met two years ago, he came and went without a trace. If she did not take the initiative to find him, she might not see him for half a year. Even if she did find him, at most, they would stay together for a day before he disappeared again.

For example, this time.

Rowena sent the two children to kindergarten and directly went to work at the Simon's Clinic. She especially made a trip to Jameson's office. Yesterday, it was Jameson who helped her take care of the two kids for a day. She should go and thank him.

When she entered the room, Jameson was picking up the phone. Rowena waited for him to finish. Before she could speak, Jameson stood up and pushed her out, "Leave quickly. Sebastian will be here soon."

"So early? Doesn't he have to go to work?" Rowena was slightly surprised. Sebastian's recent activities were too strange. It seemed that from the day before yesterday, he began wandering around like a headless fly.

When she returned to her office, Rowena happened to run into a patient with mania who came to take treatment. This girl called Willa Yelling seemed to be in a good mental state today.

"Doctor, thank you. Your guidance yesterday made me think of a lot of things." Willa's eyes were full of sincere gratitude, "You're right. Before, I had not completely formed my ego. The defeat in my relationships made me feel as if all my ego had been killed."

"That's right." Rowena nodded and sincerely felt happy for the girl, "You have to build more social relationships, find different mirrors, and look at your real and rich self."

"Doctor, can you accompany me for a walk today?" Willa begged, "I haven't gone out for a long time since I fell out of love."

"Okay." Rowena smiled. It seemed that everything was going well, "But try not to get too far away from the clinic. Otherwise, I will have to skip work."

"Haha, you are accompanying the patient now."

"How do you look like a patient?" Rowena looked at her from head to toe. Willa was dressed in the loose Harem style today. Although she was not as beautiful as herself in black tights from before, she radiated a lot of vigor and energy, "Once the knot in your heart is untied, your illness will be cured. We are no longer in a medical and patient relationship but a friend relationship."

"Really?" The girl's eyes sparkled. She was warmed by Rowena's words. She stood up and pulled Rowena out of the consulting room, "Then, Rowena, let's go!"

On the other side, the atmosphere was not so relaxed and happy.

Jameson could not help but feel his back tighten as he faced Sebastian, who had lowered the pressure of the entire room by more than one degree after entering.

"Doctor Alex, I have some questions to ask." He used the word "ask", but he was completely unlike other patients who came to receive treatment. Instead, he was like a judge who was collecting evidence.

"Please speak." Jameson opened the notebook, picked up the pen, and tried not to look at the powerful man in front of him, trying not to be distracted by Sebastian's emotions.

"I've been having trouble sleeping at night, even struggling with insomnia the entire night," Sebastian said, rubbing his temples in frustration, looking utterly exhausted. "This has been going on for a long time."

Jameson had already noticed this. Under normal circumstances, they had clearly met on the beach, and most people would remember the encounter. However, Mr. Laird seemed to have no recollection of him. This was a condition that arose only from extreme fatigue.

"Can you describe what you often think about before you sleep?" Jameson adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "It's quite possible that your mind is racing before bedtime, and that this mental activity is inadvertently stimulating your muscles, causing your body to tense up."

Sebastian remained silent, contemplating. This doctor was frustratingly accurate; he did indeed feel his muscles tightening, even experiencing a surge of adrenaline.
