Chapter 741 No Casualties
The ski resort's staff had sent all the injured individuals to the nearest hospital for an overall examination. If their condition was
serious, they would be advised to stay there for further observation. Those who had minor injuries would be sent back to the
hotel so they can rest.
Gabrielle's forehead was swollen with a big bruise, but fortunately, there wasn't any bleeding. After getting treated, she intended
to leave the hospital, but Westley requested that she remain for a night to undergo additional check-ups. He was worried about
her having internal damages
Westley had a big wound on his back that looked incredibly terrifying. Gabrielle was a big worrywart, and he didn't want her to
worry so much, that was why he didn't let her see it when he was being patched up in the other room.
"I'm really fine, honey. It’s nothing serious, see? My forehead just had a small bump. It'll be okay in the morning. Let's go back, I
don't want to stay here." Gabrielle tugged on Westley's shirt, acting like a spoiled child. But Westley didn't buy it and insisted on
staying there for the night.
"Gabrielle, listen to me. It's only one night, okay? If there are no serious results, we'll go back early tomorrow morning." Westley
caressed her cheek gently, then held her hand.
"Fine... just one night and we'll go back. Don't break your promise.” Gabrielle pouted.
Hearing this, Westley smiled. "Silly girl, when have I ever lied to you? I've never failed to follow through on anything I've
promised you. We'll be back early tomorrow."
"Okay. But still, we're lucky for being able to come out of that with only minor injuries. If we went back in a disastrous shape,
Star and the others would be so worried.” Gabrielle lowered her head and clasped her hands together. She felt so lucky for not
getting badly done in this time. If she rolled down the mountain, she would have gotten grievous wounds or even lost her life.
"That won't happen. You've been blessed and things will always turn out well for you." Westley rubbed her head gently.
"Enough about me, how's your back? Let me see.” Gabrielle clearly remembered that Westley had hurt his back very badly. She
wanted to check if there was anything wrong with it.
"Gabrielle, I'm fine. Don't worry. You just lie down and get some rest." Westley tapped her shoulders and pushed her down gently.
He had to distract her from asking.
He knew too well how his back looked right now. The bruise was glaring and that would shock her.
So, it was better she didn't know about it.
“Why won't you show me, Westley? Is it serious?" Gabrielle didn't believe that his back was all right. Even though Westley
shielded her, she felt how strong the impact of the collision was. It was impossible that he didn't get injured from such a
destructive impact.
She knew Westley quite well. He wouldn't have kept it from her if it wasn't serious.
Westley was always putting her feelings first. He didn't want her to worry about him and would tell her all the good news but
never the bad ones. Even if it was about his condition.
“Gabrielle, I said it's okay. Trust me." Westley assured her.
"But I want to see it. We also have to get you checked. No matter what you say, I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes." Gabrielle would have none of his excuses.
