“What?” “Hurry! At the entrance! What am I supposed to do? She fainted and is bleeding!” The young man was scared out of his wits.
After the receptionist called 911, a man in a robe appeared. Judging from his wet hair, it seemed like he had just come out of the shower.
“Bro, what should I do?” The young one pulled him while pointing at the fainted girl, whom the man-in-robe instantly recognized before punching him. “Ouch! What’s that for?”
“Can’t you focus on the road? Why did you run into someone-someone I like at that!” Lambert flew another punch at Corey before approaching her.
Never once in his wildest dream had he ever imagined himself meeting an injured Ellen at the hotel. At that moment, the ambulance arrived. He carried her into the ambulance, and Corey followed along.
In the hospital, Ellen regained consciousness before she was pushed into the emergency room. When the confused girl almost fell off the stretcher, Lambert supported her with nimble moves.
“Mr. Orey? It’s you” The surprise lasted for a sheer moment as she kneaded her forehead due to a headache. He comforted her. “You were hit by a car, Ellen.
You should get a full medical check-up in case of any after-effects.”
She averted her gaze onto the young man behind Lambert, who quickly apologized. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I was on the phone while driving.”
Corey appeared sincere in his apology, but she glared at him. “Be careful next time.” Lambert chipped in. “Did you hear her? Be careful on the road.” “Okay, brother.”
She was baffled momentarily. “Brother? You mean brother by blood?”
“He’s my cousin,” answered the embarrassed Lambert. He donned only a robe, so it was rather uncomfortable to feel the cold air touching his skin underneath.
“Ellen, you should get a brain check-up. You hurt your head.” Lambert then ordered Corey to reserve a brain examination for her. Although it had only been a few days since they last met, she appeared unusually weary to him; her eyes. were glazed over.
“I apologize on behalf of Corey, but why were you alone at the hotel?” He was curious. “I was going to stay there.”
“There’s only a suitcase with you. Did someone drive you out?” Lambert was blaming Jared inwardly for dumping her that quickly.
She felt hot behind her eyes upon hearing that. What happened today was an emotional roller coaster ride for her. When she raised her head, her eyes were glistening with tears.
At that moment, he was certain with his guess that Ellen was dumped. His hands balled into a fist as he cursed inwardly, Jared Presgrave, that scumbag! How can he dump someone as lovely as her? Now, he can’t blame me for claiming her as mine.
Thereafter, Ellen spent some time at the nurse’s station to disinfect the swollen part of her head. During then, some nurses were chuckling on the account that it was their first time seeing someone dressed in a robe at the hospital, a handsome man at that! Thanks to his looks, the robe seemed like a custom-made garment to others.
“Miss, your boyfriend must be worried sick about you. He didn’t even have the time to change out of his robe.” The nurse teased. Ellen shook her head. “We’re just friends.”
A friend who cares this much for you? Just tackle him, you silly girl! The nurses shared the same notion.
After the nurse bandaged Ellen’s head, she underwent a brain check-up. It was nothing serious, but the doctor advised her to take a good rest.
At the same time, Lambert’s secretary had driven a car to the hospital. Corey wanted to hitch a ride, but Lambert thwarted him..
