GoodReadEverett decided that he would just be an observer. He would stay clear of any involvement.
At the hospital, the outpatient department was already closed for the day. Emmett carried Natalia straight into the emergency room to find a doctor.
Dorothy trailed behind, handling the registration and payment.
Thank goodness he was here. Dorothy couldn't manage all of this on her own.
After the doctor examined Natalia, it was confirmed that she was suffering from acute gastroenteritis. Thankfully, it wasn't severe, but she still needed hydration therapy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all the commotion, it was close to midnight when Natalia finally got her IV drip started.
As she dozed off on the hospital bed, Emmett sat by her side, closely watching the IV drip.
"Ms. Sanchez, why don't you head back? I've got everything under control here. Once she's done with the drip, we'll head back." "No worries. It's not convenient for you to be here, either. After all, she's a girl. If she needs to use the restroom, you can't accompany her." Dorothy was a bit tired but insisted on staying until her assistant was finished with her IV.
The doctor suggested Natalia be monitored overnight, and if all went well, she could leave the next day.
"Right." Emmett dared not look at Dorothy too much. He forced himself to look away.
He had only recently joined East Star Enterprises, so he had only seen Dorothy a few times in meeting rooms or similar settings.
After seeing her up close now, it felt like something inside his chest was running wild. It was threatening to burst out at any moment.
"You've had a long flight today. Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest?" "If I leave, won't Ms. Sanchez be alone? It's late at night. It's not safe for a girl." The doctor had said Natalia wouldn't need any supervision and could leave on her own if she felt better tomorrow, so they hadn't arranged a room with an extra bed for Dorothy.
"I'm familiar with Havenbrook City. I'll be fine." "That's not the point. During the day, you're my boss, and | follow your orders. But this is off-hours, and I'm a man. How could | just leave you alone?" He sounded like a righteous man, which made Dorothy smile.
She wasn't often protected like this when she was young, but as she grew older, more and more people said these kind words to her.
"Alright then. Thank you." Natalia was fast asleep on the bed, probably due to the sedative in her medication.
With nothing to do, Dorothy and Emmett started chatting about various topics.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the conversation turned to family, Emmett was surprised. "You're married, Ms. Sanchez! | would never have guessed.” "I've been married for quite some time." Dorothy didn't mention her child this time.
She didn't want any more people to know about her child for now.
"Your husband must love you very much.” Emmett's voice held a hint of disappointment.
He didn't delve into Dorothy's personal life, so he didn't know she was married.
"Yes, he loves me very much." Just as Dorothy finished speaking, her phone rang with a message.
She thought it might be Lane, but when she looked at the screen, it was the driver from Everglow City.
What could he want at this hour? [Sorry to disturb you. | just arrived in Havenbrook City and got lost. Could you give me directions?] Dorothy was taken aback and quickly called him back. She then got up and walked outside the ward.
The hospital corridor seemed endless in the deep of the night.
It was deserted and smelled strongly of disinfectant.
