She had just changed into her pajamas when Mrs. Winstead came back with the ointment. Gabriel took the ointment and sat down by the bed. He unscrewed the cap and squeezed a portion onto a cotton swab before applying it bit by bit on her burnt skin.
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Mrs. Winstead quietly left the room and closed the door for them.
Gabriel had found a V-neck nightgown for Serenity, so the burns on her chest were exposed and did not hinder him from applying medicine.
The ointment felt cool on her skin and the pain lessened a little. She silently looked at the man who was applying the ointment for her with a serious expression.
He was wearing a white shirt with the top two buttons undone. His eyelashes were long and dark and his handsome facial features looked even colder because he was tensed up all this time.
It was a little uncomfortable to sit in the same position for a long time. She moved slightly and Gabriel furrowed his eyebrows slightly so he took a pillow to cushion her back. She said softly, “I’m sorry. Tonight sorry for making you worry.”
Gabriel did not say a word. After applying the ointment on her, he stood up and was about to leave. She hurriedly pulled him back. For some reason, her eyes turned watery again when she saw his cold face.
“Let go.” Gabriel was still cold.
“Don’t be angry,” said she as she tugged at his shirt.
Gabriel turned around and looked at her. When he saw her misty eyes, all his anger vanished. His deep voice was mixed with a hint of fear. “You’re pregnant. Do you know how dangerous it was just now?”
“I know.” Fortunately, the water temperature was not very hot, so the injury was not very serious. There were no blisters, just a little red patch.
All of Gabriel’s anger felt as though he had punched cotton. He threw the cotton swab into the trash can and turned around to enter the bathroom.
When he came out after washing his hands, Serenity was still sitting and looking at him. He quickly walked towards her. “Drink the ginger soup.”
The ginger soup was too pungent, but it was raining tonight. She could not allow anything to happen to her body. She picked up the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp.
Gabriel took the empty bowl from her hands and helped her lie down. He tucked her in properly. She grabbed his hand. “Aren’t you going to sleep yet?”
“I have a few emails to deal with,” said he calmly. “You can sleep first.”
“But I’m cold. Can you sleep with me?” asked she in a soft voice.
Gabriel looked at her silently. He took off his shoes and lay down beside her. He placed his hand on her slender waist and said gently, “Go to sleep.”
Perhaps it was because she was too tired, but Serenity fell asleep not long after. The phone on the table rang. Gabriel gently lifted the blanket and got off the bed. He took his phone and walked to the balcony.
“President Jones,” said Caleb on the other end of the phone, “Young Madam met Mrs. Grant after work and then went to Grant Group to look for President Grant. President Grant and Selena got married for a reason.”
“What’s the reason?” Serenity was acting too abnormally tonight. He had guessed that it had something to do with John, but he didn’t expect it to be true.
Caleb told him the truth about the information he had gathered. Gabriel listened in silence. Other than Caleb’s voice, he could hear the sound of the rain. It was like the accompaniment of a musical feast.
After the call ended, Gabriel lit up a cigarette in his mouth. The scarlet smoke ring was extinguished under the night sky.
He leaned against the balcony and looked in the direction of the room. The room was lit up and his wife was sleeping on the bed, but her heart was filled with someone else.
Looking at her dejected expression tonight, did she regret marrying him?
He took a deep puff of his cigarette. The ashes fell onto his fingers and burned them. However, he seemed to have lost all feeling and did not care at all..
