Chapter 23 Don’t Inform Her Husband? “My husband often works overtime. He is too busy, and I don’t want to burden him.” Damara put her hands on her temples and pressed gently to relieve the double vision before her eyes. To avoid further misunderstandings with Abner, she held onto the handrail of the escalator and gestured toward him, “It’s no big deal, Mr. Robinson. Your car is over there. I’ll walk you to it.” Abner lowered his gaze faintly. It could have been life-threatening if she had fainted in the bathroom last night. Yet, she was still considering her husband. Was she foolish, or did she love her husband too much? Suddenly, he recalled the various misunderstandings he had had towards her before, and out of a desire to make amends, he said, “Ill take you to the hospital first.” Damara stepped down while holding onto the handrail, but she almost stumbled. Abner acted quickly and pulled her back. “Penny?” Damara had reached her limit. She had already tried hard to remain conscious in the restaurant, and now, with the sunlight hitting her, she became even more lightheaded and dizzy. Chapter 23 Don’t Inform Her Husband? 40 (Vouchers She knew Abner was calling her, but her throat felt as if it were blocked, and she couldn’t utter a word.
Abner felt her body burning up. It was impressive that she had endured it until now. He tentatively touched her forehead with his hand, and perhaps the coolness of his fingertips made her feel comfortable, as she couldn’t help but nuzzle against it. Abner’s hand stiffened as if he got an electric shock and quickly withdrew it. They would have a long-term partnership, and he couldn’t leave her unattended. Frowning, he bent down and carried her h o rizo ntally in his arms. However, as they reached the intersection, a car stopped right in front of them.

down, revealing Roman’s face. Roman didn’t know that Damara had already closed this deal. When he saw Abner from a distance, he intended to greet him and leave a good impression. But his pupils contracted instantly when he saw the person Abner was holding. Abner also recognized him. He was the man who was with Damara in the elevator that night, and Abner had mistakenly believed they were having an affair. But if not, who was the one who slapped Damara afterward? Roman exited the car quickly and stretched out his hands to take Damara. Abner narrowed his eyes, “Who are you?” 22.74% 12:47 40 Vouchers Roman didn’t expect Abner to remember their time in the same class back in high school. He anxiously introduced himself, “I’m her boss at the studio.” Abner shifted his gaze. So, the person who slapped Damara that day was the wife of her boss? He turned around and put Damara into his back seat, “She has a high fever, and I’m taking her to the hospital now.” Seeing that he was taking Damara away, Roman panicked. “Can I come with you? Maybe you forgot, but we were classmates in high school…” Abner wasn’t used to having strangers in his car, but a faint memory surfaced when he heard him mention high school. “Okay.” Seeing him nod, Roman wanted to sit in the back to care for Damara. But Abner opened the door and also sat in the back. Roman hesitated momentarily but didn’t dare to let Abner be his chauffeur, so he went to the driver’s seat instead. The car was quiet until the slight bumps caused Damara to slide onto Abner’s lap, and her breath blew
onto his suit. Abner stiffened all over and glanced at the person driving in front. Roman overlooked their actions and continued looking ahead while hon king the horn. “The closest hospital from here is Love Hospital. She often goes there.” “Does she get sick a lot?” Chapter 23 Don’t Inform Her Husband? 40 (Vouchers “No, her sister has been hospitalized.” Roman didn’t expect Abner to ask further, so he answered instinctively. Abner helped Damara up. Worried that she might hit her head on the window, he reached out and used his hand to shield her head after thinking for a moment. Roman saw his action through the rearview mirror and was somewhat surprised. He thought Abner was not easy to get along with, but he didn’t expect him to be so considerate. Roman drove very fast and arrived at the hospital in just fifteen minutes. He intended to get out of the car and help Damara out, but he saw her leaning against Abner’s shoulder with her eyes tightly closed. He suddenly worried that Damara might have offended Abner, considering everyone knew Abner wasn’t interested in women. However, seeing Abner’s composed appearance, Roman didn’t know what to say. He bent down to assist Damara, but she was clinging to Abner. Roman looked at Abner awkwardly and said, “Well…” Abner remained unfazed and moved over a bit. Roman quickly helped Damara and sincerely said, “I’ll take her to the hospital now. When she wakes up, she’ll personally thank you.” Abner leaned against the car and took a few more glances at Damara, his tone casual. 12:47
