Leaving The Country After Divorce

Chapter 1269

much she had overlooked all these years.I’m already the top traditional medicine practitioner in Chanaea, and he’s about on par with me. In fact, Professor Lambert even praised him once. He has the capability of branching out and handling things on his own. Yet, he has always been my partner. I always thought that Professor Lambert specifically arranged for us to be together because he trusted us. Never had I imagined such a reason behind it all.“Do you think this incident is the only thing I did?” Colby’s voice rang out once more.Shocked, Roxanne swung her gaze to him.Meeting her gaze in derision, Colby suddenly burst into laughter. “Haha! It turns out that you don’t even know what I’ve done! You only investigated the incident this time because Lucian told you about his suspicions, huh? Sure enough, you never notice me, no matter what I do!”“No, that’s not it! I just… I just trusted you too much,” Roxanne explained on reflex. No sooner had she said that than Colby interjected coldly, “I’d rather you don’t trust me so much! I don’t want you to look at me with the same expression all the time. You smile at them and cry because of them, but when it comes to me, you’re forever acting professionally. Am I not even worthy of being your friend? Do you look down on me that much, Roxanne?”A frown marred Roxanne’s countenance. For a moment, she didn’t quite know how to respond to his accusations.Some time passed before she awkwardly asked, “Other than this, what else did you do?”By then, Colby had already put away all expression from his face.At that question, his lips turned up. “I’m not going to tell you that. Anyway, I’m going to leave this place soon. You’ve never seen me all these years, so this time, I’ve got to leave you thinking about me. Go and investigate yourself!”Roxanne balled her fists, her expression as grim as ever. “Don’t do this, Dr. Galloway—”Before she had finished speaking, Colby cut her off sharply.
