Chapter 287 Hospital Visit

The people nearby rushed over to help, lifting and shifting the heavy steel frame away

Isabelle looked at him, their eyes locking Beads of sweat dotted his forehead, his jaw was clenche tight, making the line of h cheekbones appear even sharpel

“You..” She was at a loss for words.

“Don’t talk” He didn’t have the breath to spare for a response.

The steel rack was quickly hauled aside.

Collin let out a sharp, relieved exhale, but he couldn’t manage to get up. He rolled onto his side beside Isabelle, breathing heavily.

Isabelle scrambled to her feet and knelt beside him, her hands hovering, afraid to touch him.

“How do you feel? Are you hurt anywhere?” Her eyes were wide with alarm.

The others crowded around, their voices overlapping.

“Should we call an ambulance?”

“Mr. Dorfman, what a heroic move. Perfect timing. If that rack had landed directly on Ms. Foster, she wouldn’t have walked away from it.”

“If that had hit her, she’d be looking at a hospital stay for sure.”

Collin ignored the chatter and focused on the woman in front of him, forcing a weak smile. “I’m alright. It’s nothing serious.”

Isabelle swallowed hard.

How could it be nothing?

That steel frame was incredibly heavy. How could it not hurt?

Hearing the others‘ comments only made the knot of guilt tighten painfully in her stomach.

“Can you stand? I’ll take you to the emergency room.”

Isabelle glanced at the few men who had crouched down beside Collin, assessing him.

They carefully helped him to his feet.

Collin gritted his teeth, a sharp, searing pain lancing through his back as he moved.

“Are you okay?” Collin couldn’t help but ask her, his concern cutting through his own pain.

“Worry about yourself!” Isabelle shot back, a mix of worry and frustration in her voice.

He was injured like this and still had the mind to check on her.

company will cover all expenses, of course! We’ll ensure you’re fully compensated!” The plant manager kept apologizing profusely.

The foreman couldn’t help adding, “Mo sense of safety awareness, rushing the job and cutting corners…

He launched into a reprimand.

Collin and Isabelle weren’t just any designers; they had connections the management couldn’t afford to cross. An accident) happening on their watch was a disaster.

“Yes, absolutely, we’ll handle it…” the manager replied, his tone servile.

Calling an ambulance now would likely mean a thirty–minute wait.

His assistant needed to stay behind to handle the official reports and paperwork

Isabelle had no choice but to drive Collin’s car to get him to the hospital. After all, he’d gotten hurt because of her.

“Easy now.” She helped Collin into the passenger seat, moving slowly, and carefully fastened his seatbelt.

Collin winced. The pain was very real, but at this moment, a different warmth was spreading through his chest. That internal warmth somehow outweighed the throbbing ache in his back.

So he didn’t feel completely terrible.

As the woman leaned over him to click the seatbelt into place, her light, clean scent washed over him, momentarily dulling the sharpest edges of his pain.

He thought to himself, how perfect it would be if this woman were truly his.

Isabelle didn’t notice his lingering gaze. After securing him, she closed the passenger door, walked around to the driver’s side, got in, and started the car.

“If you start feeling worse, tell me immediately. Don’t try to tough it out.” Isabelle’s hands trembled slightly with nervous adrenaline, her palms damp on the steering wheel.

Thank goodness it had only hit his back. If it had struck his head, caused a serious injury… what then?

Such a brilliant, capable man.

Her brow remained furrowed, her anxiety growing.

“What about Linda…” The thought of Collin’s mother made Isabelle feel even worse.

Collin reassured her, his voice strained but calm. “I texted my assistant earlier. I’ll be… occupied for a while. I’ve already arranged for a trusted caregiver to take her on a short trip. Don’t worry about that.”

Even so, a heavy sense of responsibility settled on Isabelle.

Linda only had him. She’d already been through so much, and now her son had narrowly escaped a serious accident.

If something truly bad had happened….

Isabelle’s frown deepened.
