Leaving The Country After Divorce Chapter 1269

From Roxanne’s expression, Colby understood everything. He chuckled bitterly in a self-deprecating manner.

Roxanne lifted her eyes to him. “And so, you came up with this idea?”

Even then, she wasn’t willing to believe that the gentle and elegant man who had helped her tremendously would

do such a thing.

Alas, her skepticism when things had come to that merely made Colby feel all the more insulted. “If I hadn’t done

all this, would you have noticed me? Do you know how much I’ve given up all these years just to have you see me?

Do you think I’m really only capable of being your second, considering my capabilities?”

Every single word out of his mouth hit Roxanne squarely in the chest.

Only then did she realize how 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. “Don’t call me Dr. Galloway! I almost killed you! Aren’t

you the least bit angry? Why must you still address me so formally?”

Frowning, Roxanne went silent for a long time before murmuring, “Why must you do this, Colby? You could’ve just

talked to me directly. Why did you have to use such a method?”

When Colby heard that she had finally changed her address toward him, his expression eased for a second. Yet in

the next heartbeat, he had steeled himself again.

Thereafter, he no longer responded no matter what Roxanne said.

“Colby Galloway, you should never have made a move against her!”

Seeing that Roxanne had ceased speaking, Lucian stalked over to Colby.

Before Colby even knew what was happening, a hard punch had landed on his stomach.

“I’m only giving you one punch because you’ve taken care of Roxanne for such a long time. If you dare do anything

dumb again when you get out, I don’t mind sending you to meet your maker!”

Lucian’s voice was frightfully chilly.
