They arrived at the hospital the next day only to find out that Nellie was still fast asleep. Although she had woken up feeling better in the early hours of the morning.
"Wilson and Bonnie! It's nice to have you here." Remy confirmed the condition of Nellie's health after she was finally awake. He was with the attending doctor.
Bonnie became quite worried when she saw how pale her thin face had become. "Is she alright?" she asked expressing her concern.
'I don't like the idea of Nellie marrying Westley. But that doesn't not make her a bad person. Maybe a little work needs to be done as regards the rich lady's bad temper though.' Bonnie disliked the members of the Collins family so much. This was because they couldn't just lead simple lives.
Despite being a mother herself, Bonnie could only imagine what Nellie was going through. The sight of such a pregnant woman naturally unsettled her.
"Her condition is stable. But she needs to stay in bed for two very important reasons. Firstly, she needs to recover from the severe injuries her body has incurred these past two days. Finally, the baby ought to be nurtured till it is born." Remy briefly explained the situation.
"Nellie's condition is a little serious. If she isn't properly taken care of, then the baby's life may just be in grave danger," Remy added.
"Well, every cloud has a silver lining. So there is still a blessing attached to this predicament after all. As long as both mother and child are safe. Nellie can still take solace in the birth of her new baby." Bonnie knew how difficult it was for a woman to go through the rigors of pregnancy.
'Nellie will have to be bed ridden for less than half a year. That ought to be very tiring,' she thought.
"You're right, Bonnie. It may not seem like it, but Nellie has got luck on her side. It is good enough to keep the baby," Remy retorted emotionally.
It was indeed a miracle that Nellie's condition was so stable right now. She had to pay more attention to it in the future.
"Thanks a lot Remy for putting in so much effort these past few days. You have proven to be very skillful and trustworthy."
"I am very elated. But it won't be right to take all the credit. As a matter of fact, I didn't do much since I was not an obstetrician nor a gynecologist," Remy replied.
"You are simply being modest. We are truly relieved to have someone like you around here. I ought to go back with Wilson today. But if any need arises, do not hesitate to ask the Campbell Family for help." Bonnie always put her household first and she regarded them as being part of it.
"It is getting late. So Wilson and I have got to leave right now." Bonnie took a look at her wrist watch.
They had to take a private plane back to Antawood in the evening. But there was also something that needed to be attended to at the branch office in Bangkok before making a return.
From the look of things, it was most likely that they wouldn't come back after the national holiday. Instead, going to Italy was more certain for them.
"If you do not mind, let us proceed downstairs together."
They accompanied Bonnie and Wilson to take a taxi.
"You two ought to be careful on the way, alright?"
The three of them still stood there while they watched the car leave.
"It was just past midnight when you made your arrival. Therefore, go back to the villa and get some sleep. Just let Westley and I stay here," Gabrielle opined looking at Remy.
Despite being already tired, Remy came alone on getting the doctor's call during the very early hours of the day. It was three o'clock and Nellie had just woken up.
"Okay, I'll go back and catch some sleep. Let me know if anything that needs my presence arises," a stressed out Remy answered.
He had been working around the clock in Bangkok for a long time, without any rules!
