Billionaire's Reborn Baby -
Chapter 905 Looking for Someone (1)
"Dr. Mueller, you are so cool." Leon looked at Collin with resentment. "What's wrong with Heving City? How could the government let people live there since they know there are floods? And they often ask us to go there to rescue people. It's March now, and it's still cold. That's too annoying."
"To be honest, if it wasn't for my wrist, I would have wanted to go with you." Collin took off his white coat and put on his watch.
"Please don't." Leon glanced at Collin's hand and said, "If you hurt yourself again, your mom will tear down the hospital."
Collin smiled and didn't deny it.
"Alright, the second batch of rescue teams has gathered. I have to go now." Leon looked at the time and walked to the door. Before he left, he thought of something and turned back with a smile, "By the way, I hope everything goes smoothly with your blind date."
Collin pursed his lips. After seeing Leon off, he looked at himself in the mirror. He had a pale complexion. When Collin closed the cabinet, Cora called him.
"It's time to get off work, right? Come over. We're leaving." Cora warned, "Don't forget to buy flowers. She likes lilies."
"Yes." Collin then hung up the phone. He opened the drawer and threw the work card in. The perfume and earrings were gone, replaced by an LED electronic watch. It was white and square, with numbers showing on the screen. Occasionally, there was a line of 'It's cloudy today' above. What made Collin love it so much was that Roxy would tell the time on the dot every day.
Collin flipped the electronic watch in his hand and looked at the words "Dr. Mueller" carved on the bottom of the table. After a long time, he put the watch into the drawer and locked it.
During the days of the New Year, Collin accompanied his parents to have dinner and visit friends. When he returned, Roxy was not in the house. He did not call to ask as he did not want to show that he cared much about her. Therefore, he restrained himself from missing him these days.
Collin no longer said that he wanted to start a relationship with Roxy as he knew that they wouldn't get together. Just as Roxy had said, they were only together for what they needed. Therefore, Collin could only vent his infatuation and fondness for Roxy in bed.
Collin would bring food and fruits and then sit with Roxy in front of the window to watch the moon. However, there was no warmth or sweetness between them. Roxy could probably feel the change in Collin, bu she did not say anything. Perhaps she was more accustomed to this atmosphere, which would not burden her.
Roxy continued to smoke and drink coffee. Collin no longer tried to persuade her. But before kissing, Roxy would drink a lot of red wine and then wash the taste away from her mouth.
On Valentine's Day, Collin substituted for his colleague on duty and did not accompany Roxy, nor did he go back that night.
The next day, Collin went home and saw Roxy sleeping on the sofa alone. The temperature of the air conditioner was very high, and the room was warm.
Collin stared at Roxy on the sofa for a long time. Roxy opened her eyes in a daze and saw him. "Morning," she said faintly.
Collin put the perfume and earrings in the cupboard of the bathroom. He did not give them to Roxy in person, nor did he say that he gave them to her. Collin just put the presents in the cupboard as if he was casually putting something in it and was ready to take them away at any time.
But what surprised Collin was that one day, Roxy gave him a gift.
It was not a birthday. It was not a festival, nor was it a memorable day. Collin and Roxy met in March last year, and that day was March 1st.
Collin had mixed feelings at that time. He was happy, but he did not show it. He wanted to open the gift directly and know what was inside. However, he kept his composure and put it aside very casually, and then thanked Roxy.
Roxy was indifferent and said in the smoke, "You're welcome."
The smoke blurred her expression and Collin didn't know how she felt at that time. But from the cold sound, she was nonchalant.
It was only a gift.
Roxy may have given gifts to others, and Collin was only one of them. But Collin took the gift with him everywhere like a treasure. He took it back when he went home, and brought with it when he went to work which looked like he just wanted to hear the hoarse voice saying, "Good morning, Dr. Mueller. It's six o'clock in the morning. It's time to get up."
From the day he received the gift, Collin had been living with Roxy. When his wrist was injured a few months ago, Collin went to work on time and came back punctually before eight.
And Roxy's home had become Collin's.
Collin bought lilies from the flower shop. When he left, he saw a bunch of red roses. They were gorgeous. He did not know what kind of flowers Roxy liked. On her balcony, there were cacti and orchids. He asked Roxy why she kept these flowers. Roxy said they were easy to grow. Collin thought that Roxy was not careful about raising flowers. Roxy was not like the young girls who were full of hopes and expectations for the future. When she saw on TV that the heroine was moved to tears by the proposal, Roxy would only watch it indifferently.
