Westley carried Gabrielle back to the dining room. Remy was already there and he was chatting with Bonnie and Wilson. They stopped talking when they saw Westley come in with Gabrielle in his arms.
Gabrielle went red in the face. She didn't know what to say.
"Remy, Bonnie, Wilson! I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting," Gabrielle said apologetically.
"You don't have to apologize, really. We got here earlier than you two. I just thought you'd be here a bit later. Gabrielle looks happier now. She would enjoy it here. Bring her to the seaside more often," Bonnie said earnestly.
In spite of the faint smile that Gabrielle wore, her happiness could still be gleaned from her face.
"Thank you, Bonnie, but it's okay. It's still a long way from here." Gabrielle didn't want to cause any trouble for the Campbell family.
"It is still important to be careful." Bonnie nodded. She understood what Gabrielle meant.
"Remy, did you check on Rose and Doctor Maniac? I just want to know how Rose is doing," Gabrielle said, looking at Remy anxiously.
She knew how seriously Rose had been injured. She had been in a coma since that fateful day.
But in her heart, she knew that Rose would wake up soon. It might take some time but she would recover from her injuries. Doctor Maniac was taking care of her. He had promised that he'd give his best efforts to cure her.
"It looks like Rose is getting better. Thanks to Doctor Maniac. He is one of the best doctors I have known. And I see that his treatment technique is rather unique. I am impressed. So I am also confident that Rose would come out of her coma sooner than we all expect her to do." Remy could say that because he had been assisting Doctor Maniac all this time.
That Remy could speak highly of Doctor Maniac surprised Gabrielle. It also gave her more reasons to believe that he was the right person for the job.
He could cure Sloane. Gabrielle could feel it.
"Remy, I couldn't believe what I'm hearing from you. You rarely express your admiration for people but here you are, praising Doctor Maniac for doing his job well. Oh, I, too, believe that Rose will come around soon." Gabriel was ecstatic.
After all, good things had been happening one after another. Everything was going smoothly now.
"That's true. Look at you and Westley. You're both doing well already. You can go out and do outdoor activities. And that's good, especially for your recovery." Remy was speaking as the doctor in him.
"We appreciate hearing that from you. We'll follow your advice."
"Dinner is ready, Gabrielle. Let's have our dinner before you introduce us to your friends." Bonnie looked at Wilson.
"Of course, they were the ones who saved Gabrielle. We should meet them and thank them personally." Wilson agreed.
"Okay, we'll do that." Bonnie was feeling cheery.
"Gabrielle, I wonder what your two friends like. We can bring them a gift." It would be the right thing to do since this was the first time they were meeting them.
"It's okay, Bonnie. You don't have to bring anything. They are my friends. And I don't think they need anything right now. Doctor Maniac is in a wheelchair because he injured his legs. Rose, well … she's in a c
