“President Jones, Miss Rivers, are you hurt anywhere? Shall we go to the hospital?”
Serenity looked at the place where the steel had fallen, shaken. Blood drained from her face and she quickly turned pale.
Gabriel grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the rest area with Willliam and the rest following behind. Then, Gabriel turned around and looked sternly at Serenity. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
But Serenity was still in a daze as she looked back at him blankly, her red lips as pale as her face, almost transparent.
Their clothes were stained with dust and they looked a little disheveled. Even their hair was covered in dust.
BoxNovel.comGabriel’s deep eyes were filled with anger when he did not get a reply from Serenity. “Serenity, I’m asking you a question: Are you hurt anywhere?”
Serenity’s gaze finally focused on his face and the lingering fear finally dawned on her as tears welled up in her eyes.
Gabriel was confused as his brows furrowed even more tightly. “Where are you hurt? Say something!”
His low roar gave William and the others a fright – they looked at each other and felt a chill in their hearts.
Serenity’s lips quivered and her voice trembled slightly as she said, “I’m not hurt, I was just… frightened.”
Gabriel heaved a sigh of relief and took off the safety helmet on his head. Caleb took it from him as Gabriel’s gaze was still fixed on Serenity. With a terrifyingly cold face, Gabriel asked, “Why didn’t you stay in the hotel? Why did you come to the construction site?”
This was the second time Serenity had seen him so angry. The first time was when he lost the bid for Haverford Corporation’s land. She softly said, “I brought you some food.” But by now, there was nothing to eat since they had all been lost to the dirt floor.
Gabriel was flabbergasted. His furrowed brows had relaxed a little more by now, but his face remained as cold and tense as ever. “Did you really think I wouldn’t know how to feed myself that I need you to send me a meal all the way out here?”
Serenity bit her lip, aggrieved at the sight of his cold response. “But… you don’t like the food here.”
Gabriel recalled seeing her carrying a bag just now. However, when he pounced on her, the bag fell to the ground. But in such a crucial moment, who could care about what she was holding in her hand?
He stared at her with his jaw tightly clenched.
When William noticed that President Jones’s anger had subsided a little, he said, “President Jones, since Miss Rivers is fine, you should treat your wound first.”
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and sat down on a stool. William then passed the disinfectant to Serenity and said, “Miss Rivers, 1 believe you would know better than us men on how to clean a wound.”
Serenity wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and took the disinfectant from William. She then pulled a stool over and sat down next to Gabriel.
Despite the dust on his pants, Gabriel simply placed his injured hand on his lap. Those who did not know better would think that he had just gotten into a fight.
Caleb unscrewed the disinfectant for Serenity who then used it to soak a cotton swab before slowly brushing it lightly over Gabriel’s wound to clean it of the blood and dust.
With her eyes lowered to focus on her task, Serenity’s long, dark eyelashes looked like a row of exquisite brushes, decorating her black and bright eyes to look even more lively and charming.
Serenity must have still been quite frightened by what happened earlier because her pale face had yet to recover its rosy color. The dust scattered on her face also did not help with her complexion.
Gabriel looked at her silently and replayed the scene earlier. The moment he saw her in danger, his heart felt like it was about to burst out of his throat. The thought of anything terrible happening to her filled him with layers of fear as if a terrible darkness had descended upon him..
