Meeting You Was Fate

At that time, clinical experiments in medical school were the most popular, while very few did bacterial experiments. Patience was an absolute requirement when doing experiments as well as acceptance of failure. Audrey never attended this subject while Leo studied it for two whole years.

With this in mind, Audrey figured that Leo would probably know something.

She lowered her head and glanced at her watch. It was already past twelve. She figured Leo was probably sleeping already.

She hesitated whether she should call Leo or not. While she could have easily ignored Adrian's condition, she just couldn't bring herself to let go of the child. As much as she hated Mandy, her oath as a doctor came first. Besides, she had saved Adrian's life. She did not want the patient, who she had saved, to die in front of her now.

The office was very quiet, and the atmosphere was a little solemn. Audrey took a deep breath before finally mustering up the courage to call Leo.

The phone rang for a good ten seconds before someone finally answered. Audrey immediately said, "Hi, Leo. I'm sorry to bother you so late in the evening, but I'm stuck. I have a question, and I just can't seem to understand it. I was hoping to get your perspective on it."

For a while, Milla didn't say anything. She got goosebumps when she heard the sweet, female voice over the phone. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the bathroom—Leo was still taking a shower inside.

"Hello. Who's this?" Milla asked politely, wearing an ironic smile on her face.

"What? This isn't Leo?" Audrey rubbed her temples, not knowing how to react. It had completely slipped her mind that Leo was already married. Initially, she thought she had dialed the wrong number. She even checked if it was the right number—it was.
