Chapter 486

The police informed them the case was still under investigation.

Whether it would be formally filed was still undetermined.

This answer was expected.

Neither of them was surprised.

After submitting the hospitalization report and documentation, Alexander Laurent and Sophia Sullivan headed to the airport.

Their flight landed in Kyoto at 8 PM.

They took a taxi back to their apartment building.

They had a simple dinner at a familiar stall near the alley entrance.

After the meal, they went upstairs together.

Sophia took out her keys to unlock her door.

She suddenly turned to look at Alexander, who was unlocking his own door.

"Professor, how are you feeling now? Any discomfort?"

"Everything's normal."

Sophia nodded. "Remember to take your medicine on time. The doctor recommended at least three days."

"Alright."

They exchanged goodnights and entered their respective apartments.

Sophia enjoyed a comfortable hot shower.

She changed into her pajamas.

As usual, she read two research papers before turning off the light to sleep.

She fell asleep quickly.

Next door, Alexander finished unpacking and took a shower.

He had originally gone to bed.

Remembering Sophia's reminder, he sighed and got up.

He went to the living room and took his medicine.

Returning to bed, he found himself wide awake.

Perhaps he had slept too much at the hospital.

Or maybe it was the medication.

He was still completely alert at 1 AM.

Sophia's face kept appearing in his mind.

He finally fell asleep around 3 AM.

His dreams, however, became even more absurd.

He was back to that night with the herbal medicine...

The cold water in the tub couldn't suppress the inner heat.

The bathroom door suddenly swung open.

Under the dim light, a woman slowly approached.

She was completely naked!

Maintaining his last shred of rationality, he asked, "Do you know you're facing a drugged man?"

A delicate hand caressed his cheek.
