Gabriel gazed at her calmly with a faint smile on his lips. “You look like such a devoted wife.”

But Serenity glared at him in return. “You mean I didn’t look like one before?”

“It’s more like it now,” said Gabriel seriously.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he was a patient, Serenity would have pounced on and bit him. novelbuddy.c(o)m

When Mrs. Winstead came back with water, she saw that the two of them were still chatting and laughing, so she was relieved.

Serenity opened the thermos flask and poured a bowl of congee with century egg and pine nuts. She fed him some and waited for him to eat before feeding herself.

Mrs. Winstead didn’t stay long before she left with the two thermos bottles she had brought earlier. Before she left, she even asked Serenity what they wanted to eat for lunch.

Since Gabriel’s high fever had yet to subside, he could not eat oily food. Hence, she told Mrs. Winstead to do as she saw fit, as long as the food was light.

Soon, the nurse came over to remove the needle and IV bags. Gabriel asked the nurse to call the doctor over to check on Serenity again. He was eager to get Caleb to begin the discharge procedures so that they could return home the moment the doctor confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Serenity.

Serenity touched Gabriel’s forehead. Although it was slightly better than before, his body temperature was still around 38 degrees. “Your fever hasn’t subsided.”

Gabriel stretched out his arm and took his phone from the table. He flipped to Caleb’s number and was about to call him. “It’s just a fever. I just need to take some medicine.”

But Serenity snatched the phone from his ear. “Stay one more day. We’ll be discharged tomorrow.”

Gabriel rarely went to the hospital. Hence, he disliked the pungent smell of disinfectant. “Do you like the smell of hospitals?”

Of course, she didn’t like it. She was just thinking about him. She said, “I was caught in the rain yesterday too. What if I have a fever today? Let’s stay in the hospital for a day for observation and get discharged tomorrow.”

“Fine,” said Gabriel softly. He had no choice but to compromise in the face of her stubbornness.

In the afternoon, Caleb sent over some documents and notebooks. Xeno Lewis came with him, carrying a fruit basket.

When they saw Gabriel lying on the hospital bed, the two were shocked. Caleb asked, “Are there other injuries?”

“He had a fever at night and scared me to death,” said Serenity.

Caleb was even more surprised, his face filled with disbelief.

Gabriel saw Caleb’s expression and coldly said, “Don’t say that you don’t believe me. Even I don’t believe it myself.”

“It’s normal to get sick from the rain,” said Xeno as he placed the fruit basket on the table.

Gabriel glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything. The ward fell silent for a moment.

Both the visitors were wearing dark suits, looking like bodyguards as they stood stiffly at the foot of the hospital bed.

“Don’t just stand there,” said Serenity. “If you have anything to say, sit down and talk.”

“President Jones…” Xeno hesitated before taking a deep breath.

Gabriel’s cold gaze landed on him. There was a layer of cold mist between his brows and Xeno couldn’t continue.

Then, Gabriel turned to Serenity and gently said, “Go get some medicine from the doctor. That way, my fever will go down faster.”

Serenity knew that he wanted to be discharged earlier so she nodded and left.

As soon as the door closed, the ward fell silent once again. Xeno took the opportunity to re-organize the thoughts in his mind before finally saying, “President Jones, please show some mercy to Ms. Lewis.”

Gabriel leaned against the bed with a pillow behind him. His cold face was expressionless.. “She’s your sister?”
