Chapter 14 Let’s Divorce
Manuel paused for a long time. Ainsley thought that he would not answer. Then she heard him say flatly, “It’s a friend.”
His tone was a little strange. Ainsley had no intention of prying other people’s lives, so she quickly changed the topic. “Mr. Gage, please forgive me. Can I ask about your sister’s symptoms?”
“She can’t see blood. She suffers from amnesia from time to time. When she sees a stranger, she will retch and scream. On some occasions, she is unable to control her fear and she will scream.”
He looked a bit distant and indifferent.
After listening to Manuel’s description, Ainsley was thoughtful.
These symptoms were all reactions from hyperstimulation syndrome. There might be some scenes in Serina’s memory that made her scared.
Before Ainsley could tell Manuel this, Dixie had already walked over with clothes in her hands. “Ms. Easton, the hot water is ready. These are Ms. Gage’s clothes. Your figures are similar. You can change into them.”
Ainsley thanked Dixie gratefully and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes. However, she did not expect that her immune system would be so weak. When she changed her clothes and dried her hair, her cheeks were red and her eyes were blurred.
Manuel looked at her face and was stunned. He placed his hand on her forehead to feel the temperature. He felt a little helpless. “You have a fever.”
Ainsley was already dizzy from the fever. She only felt that Manuel’s voice was very pleasant and she subconsciously refused, “I’m fine. Please call Lainey for me. She will take me back.”
Probably because of the fever, she sounded a little childish and she looked soft. Manuel’s eyes were cold but helpless. He bent down to carry her. Then he dialed Lainey’s number.
In a daze, Ainsley moved closer into Manuel’s arms where she felt warm. Manuel’s warm breath brushed past her ear as he said, “Dixie, I’ll take her to the hospital first.”
When Ainsley woke up, Manuel was already gone. She only heard Lainey sigh in relief.
“Aisy, are you awake? Are you hungry? Take the porridge. I got someone to buy it for you.”
Ainsley was indeed a little hungry after not eating anything for a day. She took the porridge and thought of what happened last night. She asked, “Lainey, who sent me to the hospital?”
There was a mischievous smile in Lainey’s eyes. “Right, I haven’t got the time to ask you. Where did
you meet that man? Tsk, tsk, tsk, he’s so handsome, and he is such a gentleman.”
Then Ainsley was sure that it was Manuel who had sent her to the hospital.
