Chapter 1636: Chapter 1636: This man has never been so angry with her before

Chapter 1636

As she smiled wryly, she thought, ’His anger must have subsided by now.’

However, she watched him merely extend his hand to press the elevator button for their floor, and then, remaining silent, he continued to stand aside without paying her any attention.

Chloe’s brow finally furrowed, realizing the gravity of the situation.

This man had never been so angry with her before.

Her eyes downcast slightly, she pondered what to do.

On the other side, in Alexander’s eyes, there was only the sight of her lowered gaze and the downtrodden look on her face, which tugged painfully at his heartstrings.

This was his woman, his wife, the person he cherished and doted on beyond measure; he couldn’t bring himself to treat her badly.

But this time, he had to make her understand that she couldn’t just do as she pleased with everything.

The situation here resembled a warzone, fraught not only with the virus but also hidden dangers lurking everywhere. Yet she had come without consulting him.

If similar incidents occurred in the future and he didn’t teach her a lesson this time, she would dare to act the same way again.

The elevator door opened.

The two people, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, walked out one after the other.

The key card was in his possession; she intentionally slowed her steps.

Observing his cold expression and the frigidness emanating from his body, she slowly turned her eyes, contemplating Maurice Willis’s suggestion.

Acting coquettishly...

With him, it wasn’t out of the question.

He wasn’t a stranger; he was her husband, her man.

With this in mind, she hung her head and cleared her throat softly.

Looking up, "Alex..."

The door opened and the man entered without hesitation, ignoring her.

The words stuck in her throat seemed all the more redundant.

Quite frustrating.

After entering, all her emotions were swept away by the scenery outside the French windows.

The scenes outside were reminiscent of a portrayal from the 1920s.

She couldn’t help but walk quickly to the window, her eyes wide open and unblinking, fixed on the outside view.

Ten meters away from the window, where there should have been nothing, was a seemingly endless chain-link fence extending upwards, enveloping the hotel like a cage.

The fence extended from atop a three-to-four-meter-high wall, below which was lined with tight security.

Beyond that was an arc-shaped street, and on the other side of the street lay a large hospital.

The area around the hospital was lit up, with many people frantically coming and going. It was like watching a war movie on television, with injured people and running nurses and doctors everywhere.

The restaurants and small hotels near the hospital that were still open were very few, and each had security at the front. Windows were boarded up, and at the doorways stood bodyguards armed with heavy weapons.

Chloe took out her phone and quickly got up to speed.

It turned out that ever since the disturbances began, the city had almost lost control, and the local ZF had to demarcate and heavily guard a certain area to create the sole haven amidst the chaos.

The place they were staying was a hotel within the Safe Zone.

Just beyond a dividing wall lay the outside area, not included within the Safe Zone.

The information on her phone mentioned that entry into the Safe Zone had high thresholds, and not just anyone in good health could come in; due to limited space, one also required money to gain entry.

Furthermore, high-ranking officials and notable personalities were given priority, and only afterward would ordinary citizens have their turn.

Those left on their own remained outside the Safe Zone, where whether they could live on healthily depended entirely on luck.

The ZF wasn’t neglecting those outside it; instead, they sent many forces to suppress and rescue.

But even after several months, the situation had hardly improved.

Mainly, this was attributed to the rampage of the virus.
