Serenity was surprised to see Sam. He had a security guard’s coat draped over his shoulders; his hair was messy; and he looked like he had just woken up. “Why are you here?”
“I’ve been waiting for you outside the whole night,” said Sam as he rubbed his sleepy eyes.
“Why are you waiting for me? It’s fine as long as Gabriel is here.” She still didn’t know that everyone already knew about her relationship with Gabriel.
Sam yawned and said, “I was the one who caused your accident. I can’t live with my conscience if you never woke up, so I waited for you until you did.” “Didn’t you check the weather forecast before we left yesterday?”
“I did.” Sam pulled at his messy hair and mumbled with a strange expression. “But I read it the night before, not the morning of.”
Serenity’s eyes widened. It was common for the weather forecast to be inaccurate after a night. Moreover, the weather at the end of autumn was always changing.
Sam smiled awkwardly as she walked around him and out of the ward. He took a step forward and blocked the door. “Are you angry?”
She pushed him away. “Go away. Who has the time to be angry over such a small matter? Gabriel is having a fever.”
No wonder Gabriel was sleeping more soundly than a patient like her. Sam pulled her back. “I’ll go get the doctor.”
As it was not even eight o’clock yet, the doctors and nurses for the day shift had yet to arrive at the hospital. Instead, they got the night shift doctor to come over and take Gabriel’s temperature. It was 38.4 degrees Celsius so the doctor advised for Gabriel to be put on an IV drip.
It was Monday, and Sam had to go to work, so he left first.
Serenity was in a blue-striped hospital gown as sat on the sofa and used her phone to read the news. From time to time, she would look up at the IV drip.
At 8:30 a.m., Mrs. Winstead arrived with breakfast. When she saw that the person on the hospital bed had changed to Gabriel, she started to nag, “Why are both of you sick? You husband and wife arc really sharing happiness and suffering together.”
Serenity smiled at Mrs. Winstead’s words. “Only then can our relationship be harmonious.”
Mrs. Winstead placed the thermos on the table. “Young Master has always been in good health. He rarely goes to the hospital, except when he drinks to the point of vomiting blood.”
“Was he very busy with work in the past?” asked Serenity.
“There was a time when Young Master was in a bad mood,” said Mrs. Winstead vaguely. “With the addition of social events, he got drunk every other night. There was even one time when he vomited blood and was hospitalized for three days.”
“What happened that put him in a bad mood?” She was very curious about what could possibly make Gabriel so unhappy.
Mrs. Winstead didn’t explain further and started to serve the breakfast she brought over instead. “Let’s eat together when he wakes up.”
Gabriel woke up not long after. He looked at the needle piercing the back of his hand and frowned slightly.
Serenity used the remote to lift the head of the bed and helped him sit up. “And here someone was proudly proclaiming that he would stay and take care of me. How could you not know how sick you were?”
”1 guess we’ll have to take care of each other now,” said he in a hoarse voice.
Serenity poured some water for him and went into the bathroom to wet the towel with warm water. Then, she sat back on the bed and planned to wipe his face.
“I’ll do it myself.” Gabriel took a sip of warm water and placed the cup back on the table.
But his left hand was on an IV drip and his right hand was wrapped in gauze. How could she let him do it himself?
She avoided his hand that was about to reach for the towel and gently wiped his face, then his hands. She was so meticulous that she wiped each of his fingers..
