Everett decided that he would just be an observer. He would stay o

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 confemed that she was suffering from acute gastroententis.

Thankfully it wasn’t severe, but she still needed hydration therapy

After 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

The doctor suggested Natalia be monnored overnight, and if all went well, she could leave the next day

Tight ” 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?”

101 leave, wont 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 wi extra bed for Dorothy

Tm fambat with Hawnbrook City. Il be fine.”

“That’s not the point. During the day, you’re my boss, and I follow your orders. But this is off–hours, and

I’m a man How could I just leave you alone?”

He sounded like a righteous man, which made Dorothy smile.

She wasn’t often protected

this when she was young, but as she grew older, more and more people said these kind words to her.

Nataka was fast asleep on the bed, probably due to the sedative inher medication.

With nothing to do, Dorothy and Emmett started chatting about various topics

When the conversation turned to family Emmett was surprised. “You’re married Ms. Sancher! I 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

“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 be ward at this hour?

[Sorry to disturb you. I just arrived in Hayenbrook 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 right

was deserted and smelled strongly of disinfectant
