Cianna was slightly taken aback, but she quickly replied, "Of course! Is Mr. Savage coming too?"
The Granger and Savage families had some ties, so both Jeremy and Cianna were aware of the engagement between the Savage and Henderson families.
However, unlike the public sentiment that Yolanda wasn't a good match for Gavin, Cianna believed that the Savage family was fortunate to have gained such a skilled daughter-in-law.
In fact, despite the widespread belief that Yvonne would eventually become the Savage family's daughter-in-law, Cianna and Jeremy always felt that Yolanda was far more outstanding.
"Yes, he happens to be free this evening," Yolanda responded. She had originally planned a candlelit dinner with Gavin, but she suspected Cianna wanted to discuss the formula and the upcoming product launch for Cinnamine Pharmaceuticals next quarter. She decided to combine business and her date.
Though Gavin wasn't thrilled about the sudden addition of two extra "third wheels", he obediently drove to Willow Creek Clinic to pick Yolanda up for dinner after receiving her call.
As Yolanda sat in the clinic's front lounge waiting for Gavin, a commotion suddenly erupted outside. A young man rushed in hurriedly.
"Doctor! Doctor! Someone has fainted!" he exclaimed.
Behind the young man were two other people carrying an unconscious woman.
The young man wiped the sweat from his face as he explained to Yolanda, "This is Mrs. Singer who lives nearby. I was passing by when I saw her collapse on the roadside, so I brought her here!"
Fortunately for Maria Diamond, who was also known as Mrs. Singer, she had collapsed near Willow Creek Clinic. It saved the trouble of calling an ambulance.
"I've already contacted her husband. He'll be here soon!" the young man added.
"Quick, get her onto the bed!" Yolanda instructed.
Patients who visited Willow Creek Clinic usually had chronic conditions. However, there were also special cases requiring wound care or emergency attention. Therefore, the front lobby was equipped with a bed to treat urgent cases.
