Gabriel flipped through his work documents. His right hand was injured, so he used his left hand to sign those requiring his signature. Though he was right-handed, his left-hand signature was not too bad.

“You’ve practiced writing and signing with your left hand before?” She looked at his signature in surprise.

Gabriel did not raise his head, his gaze remained fixed on the document as he hummed a response.

“A preventive measure?” She was even more surprised.

Gabriel chuckled softly. He used the pen in his hand to knock her head lightly which did not hurt. His deep voice had a hint of a smile as he asked, “What’s going on in that head of yours?”

She tilted her head, muttering as she said, “Why does your left hand’s writing look so good?”

Gabriel’s lips curved into a smile. “I’m the most good-looking person to you. So isn’t it a given that my handwriting, be it of my right or left hand, also be good looking?”

Serenity looked at the document he had signed in her hands, not having registered the words he just uttered in her head yet. After a while, she finally met his smiling eyes and felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.

Gabriel reached out and pinched her reddened earlobe. She tilted her head to avoid his hand and used her gaze to warn him that Sulia Silver was still around, so he should restrain himself.

Sulia Silver had been sitting in the background the entire time and could not stay any longer when she saw how intimate the couple was. She stood up and picked up her handbag. “Mrs. Preston, let’s go.”

Serenity wanted to send them off, but Gabriel held her hand. She glared at him, but he ignored her, only letting go of Serenity’s hand after Sulia Silver and the others left.

“That’s your mother.” Serenity felt a headache coming on.

Gabriel replied with an indifferent hum as he tidied up the signed documents and put them away. He then took his laptop and continued to process the emails.

At around five o’clock in the evening, Mrs. Winstead came to deliver food while Serenity was in the washroom. Gabriel looked at Mrs. Winstead with a calm gaze. “If you want to go back to the main residence, you can go back anytime.”

Mrs. Winstead’s expression changed. “Young Master, how could I not inform Master and Madam when such a big thing happened? They will scold me otherwise,” said Mrs. Winstead submissively.

“But you didn’t ask for my permission first,” said he with a sharp gaze.

“Young Master, please give me another chance.” Mrs. Winstead’s heart was pounding.

Gabriel was relatively calm as he continued to say, “Next time, you won’t be making calls from South Bay, but the main residence. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir.” Mrs. Winstead was so frightened by his words that she broke out in a cold sweat.

As soon as Mrs. Winstead left, Sam and a group of people from the magazine agency came to the hospital. The fruits on the table started to pile up into a mountain next to several bunches of flowers. Soon, the fragrance of the flowers overtook the smell of the typical disinfectant smell of the hospital.

Gabriel had always been indifferent to people so the atmosphere in the ward was very awkward. Soon, Sam and the rest decided to leave.

The next day Gabriel’s fever had completely subsided and his body temperature returned to normal. Caleb went to settle the discharge procedures while Serenity packed her things. When Caleb was done and returned to the ward, Serenity was done too.

Serenity looked at the man in the wheelchair and then at the injury on his foot. “Even if you’re discharged, you can’t go to work. Why don’t you stay a few more days in the hospital? It’s more convenient to change your dressing.”

“Is the air in the hospital better than at home?” Gabriel raised his eyebrows.

“It’s more suitable to recuperate at home. Besides, there’s a family doctor to change the dressing. So, Young Master, you don’t have to worry,” said Caleb.

Gabriel sat in the wheelchair as Caleb pushed him out. Serenity followed behind with the rest of their things.

When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Caleb went to get the car while Serenity pushed the wheelchair and waited..
