This lunchbox didn’t come from a restaurant, and the most important thing was that it contained sliced dragon fruit. This wasn’t a particularly rare item, but it wasn’t commonly seen either.
Elowen probably didn’t know that Freya used to enjoy eating this fruit.
Because it was high in sugar, sweeter than many other fruits.
Freya loved eating it when she was a child.
But not many people knew that, and she quickly figured it out.
Sure enough, Adam Jackson appeared at the doorway.
He walked in with a smile.
Freya’s face was cold. “What are you doing here?”
“I came to see you. Is that not allowed?”
Freya was straightforward. “No, it’s not.”
Adam Jackson wasn’t discouraged. He still didn’t know what had happened between Freya and Ronan, but this time he was smart enough not to bring it up.
Even though he was really curious deep down.
“I remember you used to love eating this fruit when we were kids, so I specially packed it in the lunchbox for you. After the meal, you can have it as a dessert.”
Freya lowered her gaze. She used to enjoy eating sweets as a child because life felt bitter back then.
But now, she had grown up, and she wouldn’t rely on such things anymore.
She picked up the lunchbox without hesitation and threw it into the trash bin.
“What are you doing?” Adam Jackson widened his eyes. “I carefully prepared this meal for you…”
“I’ve already eaten, and besides, leave!”
Freya rarely thought about that incident while she was working.
But when she saw Adam Jackson, it would resurface in her mind clearly.
Adam Jackson smirked. “We’re friends, you know…”
“Don’t mention that to me!” Freya’s words were sharp. “Don’t disturb my work, don’t appear in my line of sight, and most importantly, we can never be friends!”
“We used to be friends, I treated you like my sister…”
“That was in the past.” Freya interrupted him. “Either leave on your own, or should I call security?”
Adam Jackson refused to leave. “I apologize to you.”
Freya dialed the hospital’s security number.
Soon, security personnel arrived.
Freya pointed at Adam Jackson. “He is not allowed to come in anymore.”
“Yes.”
The security personnel didn’t immediately use force, but first politely said to Adam Jackson, “Please leave.”
Adam Jackson quickly explained, “I am her friend.”
“Please leave.” The security personnel repeated, their attitude becoming more assertive.
Adam Jackson still didn’t get the hint. “I already said, I am her friend…”
Two security personnel approached and restrained his arms, pushing him back forcefully, pressing him against his back as they dragged him out.
“Freya, how can you treat me like this?”
“Freya, even if you’re angry with me, upset with me, don’t you think you’re going too far…”
Adam Jackson’s voice gradually faded away at the entrance.
Freya felt inexplicably irritated.
No matter what, she couldn’t calm her mind.
She wasn’t in the right mood to continue working today.
She got up and went to the laboratory, locking herself inside, focusing on her experiments, allowing her emotions to settle slowly.
The restless mood would gradually fade away.
Being fully engrossed in a task can make all troubles fade away.
She probably didn’t think Elijah would go back either.
So she was busy until late.
She didn’t eat at noon, nor in the evening. In the middle of the night, her stomach started hurting, and she leaned on the table, hunching over.
Fine beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
She turned off the equipment, took a few steps out.
As soon as she opened the laboratory door, she saw someone standing at the entrance.
Her hand on her stomach curled slightly.
Her heart was both excited and evasive.
She lowered her head. “Why did you come here?”
