Chapter 8 This Woman

Gabrielle lay on the bed, sweating nervously. with a thermometer in hand, Remy Davis stood at the edge of the bed. He turned his head to look at Westley, who was standing with his arms crossed against his chest.

“She is running a high fever. Her temperature is thirty eight point eight degrees Celsius. I need to give her an injection to bring it down. – Westley nodded indifferently. Remy reached into his medical box and began preparing the injection.

While he pulled the solution into the syringe, he remarked, “Didn’t you get married yesterday. Westley? Can you think of why your new wife could have gotten a fever suddenly? Did you guys…” Remy halted, unsure if it was appropriate to address their sexual life 1

“No, I haven’t touched her. I am not hungry for random women. I don’t know how she got a fever. It’s her own business. She is anyway very clumsy and careless.” s Westley’s irritation could be seen clearly.

Remy pursed his lips and nodded. He didn’t understand why Westley would speak like that about his own wife, but he chose to remain silent. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Westley was his good friend. “They had known each other for many years. Remy knew how short tempered he was. If he really hated this woman, he would never marry her in the first place.

Westley. I understand that there is some tension between you two. If you really didn’t care for her, you didn’t have to call me here.”

Why couldn’t he just let her be?

“Remy. since when have you started indulging in such nonsense? I asked you to come here to check her. You will be the one to blame if she dies in het fever. She is any wife now. I called you out of duty.”

“I understand, Westley. I think you can get Nellie back soon, even if she has fled to space!

With that, Remy injected the syringe into Gabrielle’s arm. She took it quite well. Her eyes were closed. She did not stir, nor did she wince.

Westley kept silent, exhaling loudly. The more he looked at her face, the more annoyed he got

Gabrielle had the same thoughts as Remy. Westley really could find Nellie in no time if he wanted to. But he just sat there doing nothing

kemy sped up and dabbed the spot on her mm where the newle had entered her.

When he was done, he started again, “Westley. I know there are some words you don’t like to hear, but…”

Then don’t say it. You’ve done your job. Remy, let me show you out,” said Westley in a cold tone.

Remy shook his head with a smile. Westley could be impossible, sometimes. “I know it’s Nellie’s fault, but you shouldn’t bring innocent people in this mess.”

“Innocent people? You think Gabrielle is innocent? No one in the Tones is innocent. It. is her brother who took Nellie away. You don’t think Gabrielle already knew about it? Bryce made a mistake. She deserves to suffer for Bryce.” Westley sneered. He was convinced none of them were innocent. He could give them no second chance.

He thought Gabrielle was only pretending to be clueless of her brother’s plan.

Seeing the veins popping on Westley’s forehead, Remny did not irk him further.

“Gabrielle’s fever should be gone in some time. She should rest well for at least two days. I will have to leave now. She has a drip

attached to her wihat. Can you pull it out when it’s done! If you can’t, I’ll ask Neil to do it,” said Remy as he packed his bag.

He put some medicines down on the bedside table, and wrote a note about when and how to take them. Gabrielle could read and understand by herself. Ordinarily, a doctor would have informed the details to the husband but it was clear Westley would not like that at all

“I can do it, Remy. You know I’m as good as you when it comes to needles,” said Westley, staring deep into Remy’s eyes.

Instead of feeling challenged, Remy smiled calmly. “The IV bag should be done in about half an hour and the needle needs to be pulled out by then. Make sure you do it in time, any later and there would be blood.”

“When did you become so long-winded, Remy?” Westley was impatient. He could not wait for him to leave. L

“Westley, you should really vent your anger on the person who has wronged you, not on who is innocent.”

“Neil, see the guest out!” Westley suddenly exclaimed

“Remy, please.” Neil appeared quickly, and showed Remny the way.

Thank you, Neil Call me if you need Anything.” Terny walked out instantly. He did Hot want to stay here another second long

Westley and Gabrielle were the only two people in the room now. Perhaps because of the fever. Gabrielle’s beautiful face was Ilushed. Her cheeks were red, making her look cute.

Remy had not been able to tell the cause for Gabrielle‘s fever. Westley too had no idea how she had fallen sick.

When he had left her on the roadside, she had been completely okay. Could it be that this was her strategy to gain his sympathy? 3

Unable to understand what was up. he dialed Alvin’s number

“Hello, Mr. Morris!” answered Alvin after just one ring. Alvin was Westley’s special assistant. He was available to him for twenty hours a day.

“Alvin, find out what Gabrielle was doing outside today.”

“On it, Mr. Morris.”

After hanging up, Westley looked at Gabrielle again. No matter what Remy had said, Bryce’s actions had brought this on his

Suddenly, he called Alvin apain. “Nu need to investigate, Alvin. It doesn’t matter…”

While Westley was fidgeting. Gabrielle was sound asleep. She dreamt of the time when she was in the orphanage, and later when she came to Bryce’s home as his sister. In the dream, she saw Bryce disappearing with another woman, leaving her alone with a devil

The devil was giant and filthy. He opened his bloody mouth, ready to devout and swallow her.

“No, no!” Gabrielle shouted. Suddenly, she was screarning “No!” in her sleep. Sweating, she woke up with a jerk.

The light in the room was very bright. She blinked rapidly to adapt to it. She found herself in the bedroom with Westley. Several words like “Happiness’, ‘Love’ and ‘Joy’ were mounted on the walls. She recalled she was married to this man. It was both dizzying and dazzling

She now remembered she had come back home in a hurry to cook dinner for Westley. She had been feeling heavy-headed. She couldn’t recall what had happened once she reached home. Perhaps she had fainted?

Are you wake?” A bold Yoice full in het PAS Gabrielle looked up and W Westley walking in from the balcony.

His cold face and dark eyes looked similar to that of the devil she saw in her dream.

Westley, what’s wrong with me?” Gabrielle saw the hemostatic tape on the back of her hand. She knew it was applied only after the infusion and withdrawal of a needle.

“Gabrielle, don’t try to evade your responsibility by being sick. I did not many you so you could be the hostess of this house and enjoy the benefits of life here.” Westley looked at her coldly.

Gabrielle was still dizzy. She was confused and didn‘t understand what he was trying to

“Westley, please be clear. I don’t mean to be the hostess of your house.” @

Gabrielle‘s eyebrows creased as she looked at the man stubbornly.

She had never wanted to marry him! How could he accuse her like this? She would rather be the adopted daughter of the Jones all her life!
