Chapter 139: A Long-Lost Feeling

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The car stopped at the resort and Serenity was about to open the door when Gabriel’s large palm pressed down on her shoulder. She turned around and looked at him blankly. She could feel the warmth of his palm through her clothes as if it was about to melt her.

Gabriel took out the car keys from her bag and threw them to Caleb, who was sitting in the front row. “Drive her car.”

Caleb opened the car door and got out. When she heard the car door close with a bang, that was when Serenity finally reacted. “My foot is injured and 1 can’t drive.”

Gabriel glanced at her indifferently and retracted his hand. He pushed the door open and got in the driver’s seat. As Serenity remained astonished by what was happening, Gabriel had already started the engine of the car.

The warmth of his palm still lingered on her right shoulder, seeping into her skin bit by bit. For a moment, even her heart was so hot that she could not help but tremble.

After entering the city, the car went straight to the hospital. When they reached, Serenity got out of the car and limped in. Her movements were slow as she struggled.

Gabriel followed behind her slowly, holding a cigarette that he had just lit between his fingers. When he saw that she was struggling to walk ahead, an inexplicable sense of frustration welled up in his heart. Then, he took two deep puffs and threw the cigarette butt on the ground to extinguish it. He took a few steps forward to pick her up and strode towards the hospital.

The moment he carried her, Serenity hugged his neck. She had been carried by two men in a day. It was the same thing, and yet each time felt different.

His body carried a unique minty fragrance mixed with the faint smell of tobacco, which was somehow calming.

How long had it been since she felt this way?

Thinking about it carefully, it was probably a few years ago, when she was in her most beautiful youth by John’s side.

However, that was already in the past. She could never go back to the year when she was sixteen and John was no longer the John Grant she knew.

In the past…

Such words were too terrifying.

It was so terrifying that just thinking about it made her feel like she was about to be torn apart until she was covered in blood, not even leaving her flesh behind.

She stared at Gabriel’s firm profile and thought of the reason why she had looked for him back then. At that time, she was probably frustrated by the harmony displayed by John’s family of three.

Gabriel was better than John!

With Gabriel around, there was no need to queue with the other incoming patients. Instead, a specialist was waiting for them. After a series of X-rays and examinations, the doctor handed Serenity some ointment and medicine. “You didn’t hurt my bones so you’ll be fine after you go back and rest for two days.”

“Thank you, Doctor.” Serenity took the medicine.

Gabriel carried Serenity out of the hospital. But he was already an eye-catching man. Moreover, after the photos of him and Jocelyn White circulated previously, it wasn’t difficult to recognize him in public.

A nurse was overjoyed as she said, “He’s even more handsome in person than on TV!”

“Really? Where is he? Where?”

“Who is the woman in his arms? I don’t think they have a normal relationship. He has never said he was married.”

With everyone staring at them, Serenity buried her head in his chest and secretly prayed that there were no paparazzis in the hospital.

Once they were out of the hospital, Gabriel placed her in the passenger seat. She tugged at his sleeve. “President Jones, I can just take a taxi back myself.”

If Benjamin Rivers were to see Gabriel dropping her off, regardless of the intention, Benjamin would completely disregard any and all explanation from Serenity and simply misunderstand..
