While holding his new bandage, Max kept his eyes on the door. After a while, what he was waiting for finally came. Two nurses pushed a bed with Gabriella asleep on it. “Gaby,” the man sighed, trying to get up. However, before his shoulders left the bed, someone had pressed his head back against the pillow. “Please don't be stupid! I don't want to take you to the emergency room again," Sebastian grumbled, successfully inviting a cynical look from Max. "That's right, Sir. Please stay still. Your wife is okay. She'll wake up as soon as the anesthetic wears off,” a nurse explained as she locked Gabriella's bed next to the man. Received the same ban, Max did not argue. After heaving a faint breath, with hands still attached by the IV line, he tried to grab his wife's fingers. Knowing the man's predicament, the nurse brought Gabriella's hand closer. "Take a rest, Sir. Don't move too much anymore," she suggested even though the patient didn't

"Have you thanked Julian?" Max asked when he saw that his wife's face was no longer somber. In an instant, the woman who had just entered the room was smiling loosely. "Yes. He's awake when I saw him,” Gabriella reported before pulling up a chair and sitting on the side of the bed. "Then, how is he?" The woman's lips pursed. "He's fine, Max. The doctor said that his body is strong. In a few days, he is able to go home. Julian just need to keep his wound clean and follow the rules of eating. There's a lot that he shouldn't be consuming right now. Whenever I think about it, I feel more guilty.” "Take it easy, Gaby. Mia will take care of him very well," the man said, trying to lighten the burden in his wife's heart. Unexpectedly, those simple words managed to make Gabriella smile again. "Do you know what? I think, Julian has feelings for Mia,” the woman said with round eyes even though her eyelids were still swollen. "Why do you c

“You are the type of guy who can't hide feelings, hm?” Max teased as he was standing in front of the door.Realizing the presence of his brother, Julian spontaneously snorted. "Have you been eavesdropping ever since?" he asked, raising an eyebrow."Not eavesdropping. Just overheard," Max said with a light shrug. A second later, he approached his brother with relaxed steps. "So, how are you doing?""You see for yourself. I just got ignored by Mia,” Julian replied while rolling his eyes. He was ready to welcome the sarcasm from Max."I didn't asked about your heart, but the condition of your stomach. I heard you saved my wife with a very heroic act. I never thought you're willing to sacrifice your life.”Receiving the unexpected answer, Julian's gaze slowly shifted back to his younger brother. Once he found the stiff curve of the lips, again, he snorted.“Are you praising me? Why do I feel that you're being sarcas

"So, Dad immediately burst into tears when he found out that Julian was critical?" Gabriella asked Gabriella while combing her hair in front of the mirror."Yes. It took a few minutes for him to stop sobbing,” the man who had been lying on the bed, said.“Then I guess you will have no trouble reconciling them. Dad doesn't hate Julian that much," the woman mumbled as she placed the comb on the dressing table. A second later, she walked towards the bed.Seeing that his wife had been lying on the side, Max secretly smiled. Carefully, he tilted his body so that he could get a better look at Gabriella's face.“But, won't they mind? Waiting for their condition to recover requires patience. Why don't you just bring them together now?" the woman asked without paying attention to the hand that began to wander.“I want to make a memorable moment of peace, Gaby. It's too dramatic for them to do it in a hospital. Won't it be great if we

After swallowing hard, Sebastian immediately pointed his index finger at the dish table."I forget. I have something to discuss with Amber. So, excuse me. We'll talk again some other time," he said hastily.Without waiting for a response, the man went towards the woman he had mentioned. The change in his attitude succeeded in making Max raise an eyebrow. "What's wrong with him?"Before the host had time to find an answer, his attention was distracted by the approaching guest. The suspicion of Sebastian's panic suddenly faded."Good evening, Mr. Evans, and happy birthday, Mrs. Evans," the guest greeted with a big smile."Thank you, Rose. I really didn't think you could attend. Didn't you say you have started the new job?" Gabriella said warmly."It is true. But I am lucky because the new employer is also kind. She even wants to come to this event," the girl explained, making the questioner furrow her brows.A second later, Gabriella's
