Chapter 18 Liam flew to the UK on a chartered jet , accompanied by a team of private doctors and thirty million dollars worth of new medical equipment . The cabin air conditioning was fierce . Liam looked at the cold air pouring from the vents , his heart feeling heavy . No one spoke in the entire cabin . With his eyes closed , he could hear his own heartbeat . He admitted he missed Chloe . But in the time since she'd left , he didn't know how to face the situation or what to think . He was locked out - a ghost in his own life . His number , his email , every social media account - all of it , blocked and silent . The divorce decree was still in his briefcase . Truthfully , Liam had little confidence to actively contact Chloe . He could only spend more money , offer more ... compensation , hoping to change her negative perception of him . Liam had never felt the dozens of hours on a plane pass so slowly . He tossed and turned in the spacious first - class seat but couldn't find a moment's sleep . His private doctor checked his condition every hour . When the plane finally landed , it was pouring rain in London . Liam , surrounded by seven or eight private bodyguards , was whisked directly from the VIP channel into a black van . " Mr. Walker , we'll check into the hotel first . As you requested , the monetary and equipment donations to the medical school Ms. Thompson attends have been fully processed . The equipment . arriving on this charter will be delivered shortly . Please don't worry . " The assistant reported the progress while showing Liam the successful transfer records on an iPad . Liam pushed the iPad away with one hand and straightened his tie with the other . [ Not going to the hotel . Head straight to the medical school . Call the dean ; tell him I'm on my way . ] " Then ... should we ask the dean to notify Ms. Thompson to be present ? " The assistant hesitated , awaiting Liam's response . Liam fell into a rare silence . [ Please ask the dean to arrange a private meeting for me with Chloe . ] Chapter 18 69.23 % D Wanna watch the rest of " Office Girl " ?

He wasn't sure if Chloe's departure was a ploy , nor if she still had any feelings for him . He closed his eyes tiredly for a brief rest , but the discomfort and obstruction in his throat persisted . The dean of the medical school stood waiting respectfully outside the main gate , despite the pouring rain . " Mr. Walker , thank you for your generosity . " Liam didn't pay him much attention , hurriedly entering the research institute's main door , flanked by bodyguards and his assistant . Liam gave his assistant a look . The assistant immediately turned and shook the dean's hand in the rain . " Dean , our time is very limited . Regarding the meeting with Mrs. Walker you mentioned earlier , where have you arranged it ? " The institute dean paused , his expression shifting uncertainly . After a moment's hesitation , he led the way . It was in the medical school's precision laboratory . " I'm sorry , we have no right to compel students to attend non - academic events . To accommodate Mr. Walker's ... request , we could only temporarily schedule an extra lab session . " The dean's tone carried a hint of displeasure , but Liam paid no mind . He pushed past the bodyguards and headed straight for the lab door . The lab door was heavy , clearly not something one could just walk through . But it had a large glass panel on top . Just as Liam gestured for the dean to use his keycard , he heard the sound of Chloe laughing and talking with an unfamiliar man inside . A wave of panic struck Liam's heart . He tried to recall ; it seemed like an eternity since he'd last seen Chloe smile . Chapter 18
