The room went silent once again when the call ended.

It was just him and her now.

With the sudden epiphany, Eliza suddenly didn't know what to do.

Tanner's provocative 'Liza' was still ringing in her ears. As for the sarcasm that followed, she was long used to it… Though she didn't quite get where it came from, she didn't plan on arguing either as the outcome had been established.

Tanner was sitting right next to her, looking grumpy. He must be upset, but what for, she did not know.

After a moment's silence, he pulled his phone out of his pocket to make a call.

And made his way to the bathroom.

His actions baffled Eliza. Why make a call in the bathroom of all places?

However, Tanner was too mysterious to her. After failing to reach an answer, she decided to just leave it

Then again, when will her voice return…

Oh, how inconvenient it was not to be able to talk!

……

The call connected.

"Mr. Deleon."

"Are there any side effects to the prescription drugs you gave last night?"

Despite being a question, it was asked through gnashed teeth.

And the question turned into a statement.

The family doctor was on the other end of the line, and Tanner wanted to hold him accountable for Eliza's lost voice.

He had come to the bathroom to avoid her. Eliza had always been restive, so he had to keep a close eye on her. If she discovered she meant the world to him, she'd only make nothing of him even more.

"Mr. Deleon, all the medicine from last night were used to relieve fever and cold, no side effects to them at all."

The doctor could tell his tone sounded off.

But despite it being a call, he could 'see' the murderous look on Mr. Deleon's face.

Speaking of which, it was only when he returned with the prescription drugs that he realized the patient he treated was Mrs. Deleon after asking Aunt Bell.

So he couldn't help wondering if Mrs. Deleon was still feeling unwell, seeing how Mr. Deleon called to ask about side effects.

Though Tanner wasn't in front of the doctor, he still stood deferentially, cold sweat dripping off his forehead.

He recalled the prescriptions, but they were all common pharmaceutical drugs, and nothing would happen even if taken together.

"Shall I come over, Mr. Deleon?"

The doctor asked gingerly. If something really happened, he wouldn't be able to reside in San Francisco and even more so call himself a doctor and treat patients anymore.

The Deleon's family doctor was definitely the best in all of San Francisco. He had his dignity and pride as well.

However, hearing the doctor's suggestion, Tanner frowned in dissatisfaction. They had finally gotten their alone time; he didn't need a third person butting in!

"No need, just tell me why she lost her voice."

The doctor understood immediately hearing that. Based on his examination the night before, there were only two possibilities.
