Always There: Win My Ex-wife Back
Gerard noticed Michelle's reaction and walked up to her. "The patients that were brought in here today work for our company."
"Oh." A look of understanding seemed to flash through her eyes. Michelle gave a slight nod and gestured towards the emergency room behind her. "Some of them are already out of danger. However, there are a few people who are still in the ICU. Visiting time is already over."
Gerard nodded in silence. His eyes fixed on her for a few seconds before he spoke up. "If the media appears..." She didn't need him to finish his sentence to understand what he was trying to tell her.
"I understand," she cut off. "We have our rules in this hospital and I assure you that we won't allow them inside." It was impossible for the media to ignore such a tragic accident. There was no doubt that the news would reach them immediately. However, the hospital staff had been busy rescuing patients all day long that they forgot to consider this.
"Those reporters will do everything they can just to get first-hand information. You..." Gerard suddenly stopped talking. His eyes revealed a bit of hesitance to continue what he was about to say, making Michelle raise an eyebrow at him. What he actually wanted to tell her was that she should be careful. He mentally smacked himself, wondering what was wrong with him and why he had been saying things more than the necessary to his ex-wife.
Michelle waved her hand impatiently. "Did you come here at this hour just to tell me this? There's nothing to worry about. If you haven't noticed, we have our own security guards here in the hospital. I'm pretty sure that they know how to keep things in order."
She was already exhausted from working the whole day that she had already lost her patience. All she wanted to do at the moment was to eat and have a good sleep or else she might pass out at any second.
Gerard was slightly stunned. Hearing Michelle snap at him was unexpected. He pursed his lips and didn't bother saying anything else. As soon as he was about to turn around and leave, someone called out his ex-wife's name.
"Michelle?" With two food boxes specially prepared for them from the canteen, George walked towards Michelle. He stared momentarily at the man in front of her and squinted his eyes. He looked so familiar to George, but he couldn't seem to remember where he had seen him.
