Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After resting for a while, everyone started getting ready to get back to work. Serenity threw her empty bottle into the trash can as her eyes searched for Gabriel.
She saw him talking to a woman under the shade on the west side of the building. The woman was wearing a light-colored dress and her hair was tied up high. She looked like a woman from Asia with a graceful and gentle temperament.
Although she could only see the woman’s back, she was sure the woman was beautiful.
Gabriel looked at the woman and took the heavy bag of fruits from her. Then, he indifferently said, “You’re not planning on going back?”
Wendy Jones avoided his question as she gently said, “I’m doing very well now.”
Upon hearing this, Gabriel frowned slightly and his lips pursed. There was a hint of guilt in his tone as he said, “Aunt Wendy, I’m sorry 1 couldn’t help you back then.”
Wendy tried to sound indifferent but there was no hiding the gentleness in her voice. “You were still young back then. I don’t blame you or them. It’s just that I probably won’t go back to that home.”
Gabriel opened his mouth slightly, about to say something when he heard a panicked voice not far away. “Serenity fainted!”
Gabriel frowned and strode over. After taking two steps, he realized that he was carrying a fruit bag in his hand. He turned back toward Wendy and stuffed the bag into her hands.
Gabriel being in such a hurry wasn’t his style, and Wendy noticed it. Her curiosity was piqued as she craned her neck to see into the crowd.
When she saw that the person who fainted was a girl, she immediately knew what was happening.
Two female colleagues supported Serenity, ready to send her to the hospital. Gabriel walked over quickly and saw how unusually red Serenity’s face was. Her lips were also dry and quite pale. He frowned and said, “I’ll send her to the hospital. You guys continue to work. The resort has to open as scheduled.”
Without waiting for their reactions, he took Serenity and carried her away quickly, leaving behind a dumbfounded crowd.
When they arrived outside the resort, Caleb quickly opened the car door for Gabriel to place Serenity in the backseat. Then, Gabriel got in as well. “To the hospital.”
Caleb closed the car door, went around the other side, and immediately got into the driver’s seat. He did not dare to delay at all as he started the engine.
After sending Serenity to the nearest hospital and registering her for treatment, the doctor said, “It’s just a heatstroke.”
Just as the nurse was giving Serenity an IV drip, Gabriel’s phone rang. He answered the call and returned to the ward, “Stay in the hospital and send her back when she wakes up.”
“Alright, President Jones.” Caleb nodded.
Gabriel turned to look at Serenity for a moment. Then, he looked away calmly and left the ward.
When Serenity woke up, it was already dusk outside. It took her a while to figure out what had happened and eventually remembered that she had fainted earlier. She was now in the hospital.
Caleb had just returned from refilling the water jug when he saw that she had woken up. He smiled and said, “You’re awake.”
“What happened to me?” She had never fainted before.
Caleb took a clean cup and poured her a glass of water. “You just got a heatstroke.”
She took the water and drank a few mouthfuls to moisten her throat. “Caleb, thank you for sending me to the hospital.”
Caleb turned around and looked at her in surprise. “It was President Jones who brought you here.”
A hint of surprise flashed through Serenity’s eyes. Then, she remembered that he was the boss and she was his employee. There was nothing wrong with him sending her to the hospital – it did not mean anything.
Caleb looked at her and said, “Since you’re awake, let me send you home.”
She didn’t try to be pretentious and nodded. “Sorry to bother you..”
