Gabrielle drank a cup of water in the living
dom as she stared blankly at the lawn in the yard from the window. Upon hearing a car enter the driveway, she ran out eagerly.
A silver Car Was driving in, but the person who emerged from the vehicle was not Westley–it was Kerny

Kenny had noticed the flash disappointment in Gabrielle‘s eyes.
He figured he had shown up at an awkward, time, or maybe he wasn‘t the person Gabrielle had been hoping to find in her drivew

It was plausible to think that Gabrielle was
Waiting for Westley, but instead saw Remy. which would‘ve upseller.
Yes, nice to see you, too. I‘m actually here to change your dressing into a fresh one for your wounds. Remember I told you that I‘l
l be changing the dressings every three days? Well, if 1‘111 right, three days have passed, so here I aim at Vineyard Villa But... i
s everything okay? You don‘t seem too happy to see me.” Remy teased Gabrielle.
Gabrielle shook her head immediately. “No. are you kidding me? How can I not be
happy to see you? I just hadn‘t expected three days to go by so fast–time sure is flying.”
Without probing the topic further and voicing his suspicions, Remy tumed around and took out the medicine cabinet from his car t
runk

“Gabrielle, let‘s go in. I‘ll just pretend you warmly welcomed me in your driveway because that would make me happier” Remy w
as only half–joking
Gübrielle was amused by Remy‘s humor, “Remy, welcome to Vineyard Villa.
I take it that you are here to change the dressings for Miss Jones’ wounds? What would
you like to drink?” Neil came up to greet Remy and took his slippers from him.
“Just a cup of coffee would be great. Thank
“Sure, I‘ll grab it in a moment.”
Gabrielle. do you want to change the dressings in the living room or are you comfortable in your bedroom?” Remy respectfully all
owed Gabrielle to choose for hersell.
“Let‘s go to the living room. The wounds are on my face and arms, so I don‘t have to lie on the bed in order to get the dressing c
hanged.” Gabrielle led Remy to the sofa in the living room.
“Is Westley at home?” Remy put down the medicine cabinet and glanced around the room.
There didn‘t seem to be any sign of Westley at all. It was definitely him who Gabrielle had been expecting
“No... Westley hasn‘t been back for two days, actually. I‘m sure he‘s very busy at work,” Gabrielle said, failing to hide the disappo
intment in her voice. Even if she hadn‘t realized it, Remy had immediately noticed it
“If you want to know what Westley is doing. why don‘t you take the initiative to check inz with him and see for yourself? I think he
will
THE VT happy to heat in concern. After all, he work very hard every day–
many days and nights on end without rest. Ii‘s tetible.” Remy said, with purposeful diamatie elect.
It was uue that Westley was a workaholic, but he definitely had notions of day and time and he took all the test and self–
cire he needed
But when Gabrielle heard that Westley would work days and mights without rest, her heart Sanki
“Isn‘t that really terrible, to be working non stop, without sleep? Wouldn‘t it lead to death in extreme cases?”

“Are you joking, Dr. Remy? You don‘t really mean that, do you?” Gabrielle looked at Remy longingly, unable to believe him.
“Well, Gabrielle, if you don’t want to believe that just forget it. If Westley knows I said this, he‘ll be quite upset with me. The last th
ing he wants is someone else talking about him.” Remy shrewdly picked his words deliberately as he silently observed the expre
ssion on Gabrielle‘s face. As expected, Gabrielle looked womed and uneasy.
This time, it seemed, Westley had found the right person for him; the right person who truly cared about him this much.
“If you really care about Westley, you should call him and check up on him,” Remy Buzested.
The relationship between two people worked if there was one between them to take initiative. If neither of them did anything and
let things be as they were, how would their relationship grow and improve!
“I‘d better not call Westley. I don‘t want to disturb his work and antay him.” Gabrielle finally made up her mind after some delibera
tion.
“Okay. Let me change the dressing for you first and examine the scab on the wounds. Have
you touched water these days?” Leaving their personal situation aside, Remy opened the medicine cabinet, put on his mask and
gloves, and began preparing to change the dressing for Gabrielle.
“I haven‘t touched a drop of watu–
I haven‘t even washed my face for thiee days! It” 9. never been so dirty. I honestly feel as though this face is not mine anymore.”
Gabrielle flared up as she spoke about this. She felt like it was torture to not be able to wash
her lace for three days. Fortunately, she was able to wrap her arms in plastic and this allowed her to have a shower, but washing
her face was out of the question
“It‘s mat dirty! And you can wash your face After the scab in healed, but only with clear water and
don‘t satub too hard. Avoid facial cleanser And skin care products.” Remy reminded Gabrielle as he dealt with her
Gabrielle kept what Remy said in mind.
After changing Gabrielle‘s dressings. Retny left. Gabrielle continued to pace back and forth in the room for more than
half an hour with her phone in her hand. She hadn‘t decided whether she should call Wesiley or not
Gabrielle began to feel more worried for Westley 25 she recalled what Remy said.
However, she was afraid that her call would disturb Westley while he was working. This would only make him anner. What should

she do?
It was really a head–scratcher.
Finally, after much hesitation and internal conflict, Gabrielle decided to call Westley. She decided to overlook Westley‘s anger–
his health was the most important factor and she wanted to communicate this to him.
Gabrielle sat on the bed with her fists clenched in anxiety. The call rang twice and was answered on the third ring
“Hey, Westley...”
“Hello? Who‘s that?”
A woman‘s voice interrupted Gabrielle before she could finish her sentetice.
The voice sounded familiar to Gabrielle, but she was unable to place it in that moment,
“Are you calling for Westley? He‘s unable to answer the phone right now. I can pass on 2 message if there is anything urgent.” ,
“No... it‘s nothing.” Gabrielle hung up the phone as she fingers trembled and her heart beat fast. She was shaken. She finally rea

It seemed that after all, there was no need for Gabrielle to worry about Westley. He had already been taken care of by Holly, who
Gabrielle recalled Holly‘s insistence on meeting Westley more often. Had Westley been with Holly these last couple of days?
