Standing by Preston's bed, Gabriel had been cursing Dominic for nearly five hours.
Gabriel wasn’t tired of ranting, but Preston was tired of listening.
“Gabriel, the doctor said I need to rest,” Preston said faintly.
“Exactly! The doctor’s right. That’s why I have guards at the door to keep everyone out. None of our nosy relatives know you’re hurt, so you can recover in peace. And with me here, you won’t get bored.”
Preston was speechless.
Was his brother genuinely this dense, or was he playing dumb?
“By the way, bro, are you sure Ms. Royce saw that it was you who saved her? What if she’s all foggy after her ordeal, and her scumbag husband convinces her that he’s the one who pulled her from the fire? Proximity gives him the advantage, you know… Hey, bro, are you even listening to me?”
Seeing Preston’s placid expression, Gabriel grew anxious.
“It doesn’t matter…” Preston said calmly.
“What do you mean, it doesn’t matter? You almost died in there.”
Preston understood what was making Gabriel so anxious and angry.
But for him, whether Melanie remembered that he was the one who had risked everything to save her from the fire truly didn’t matter.
What mattered was that Melanie was saved. She was alive.
That was enough.
Seeing the quiet, selfless resolve in Preston’s deep eyes, Gabriel couldn’t help but run his hands through his hair in frustration.
His brother wasn’t like this when he was doing business!
Where was the decisive, uncompromising head of Stellaris PharmaTech, the fearsome man who would repay anyone who stole a project or stabbed him in the back a thousand times over?
“Bro, the whole ‘quietly devoted lover’ thing isn’t popular anymore. In novels, that’s usually the second male lead, the one who never gets the girl.”
Seeing Gabriel’s mounting anxiety, Preston calmly replied, “Then read fewer novels.”
