「Far away in Japan.」
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Chen Yu called out.
The door opened, and a sweaty Donovan appeared at the entrance. "Dr. Chen, has Mr. Zidane left already?" he asked.
Chen Yu nodded. "Yes, he left about half an hour ago."
Today was the 6th.
The original plan was for Zidane to return to South Korea yesterday afternoon to rejoin his team.
But then Lemerre said to let Zidane stay one more night and fly directly from Miyazaki to Busan this morning.
They were flying from Seoul to Busan anyway, so this would save Zidane an extra trip.
Miyazaki wasn't far from Busan, just across the strait, a straight-line distance of four hundred kilometers.
But Chen Yu deeply suspected that Lemerre wanted Zidane to stay for another day of his treatment.
Donovan let out a disappointed "Oh," and turned to leave.
"Come watch the game later," Chen Yu called after him.
Today was the first game of the Finals. The Phoenix Suns were hosting the Magic.
