Sherilyn lay sprawled on the floor, consciousness hanging by a thread, her body devoid of strength, unable to speak or move.
Lost in thought, she noticed someone coming in. It was the cleaning lady.
"Huh? The lights are on?"
The cleaning lady entered the living room.
She had left her phone behind earlier and had come back to retrieve it, only to find Sherilyn on the ground.
"Ms. Gomez?" The cleaning lady paused, then quickly realized something was wrong.
She hurried over, shouting, "Ms. Gomez!"
Crouching down, she lifted Sherilyn, her face pale and eyes shut tight, panic setting in, "Ms. Gomez, what’s wrong? Ms. Gomez, wake up!"
What to do now? Especially with Mr. Gilbert not home!
Right, call the ambulance! And she needed to alert the security guard so they could let the ambulance in!
…
It was just past five in the morning when Gilbert left the Platinum Pearl Club.
Driving back to Golden Oak Manor, reeking of booze, planning to shower, change, and maybe catch some sleep.
As he passed the community gate, the security guard gave him a look, "Mr. Gilbert, you’re back?"
"Yeah," Gilbert nodded, not paying much mind.
The guard, trying to be helpful, added, "Mr. Gilbert, is Ms. Gomez alright? No troubles?"
Gilbert paused, his gaze sharpening, "What do you mean? What happened to my wife?"
The guard internally rolled his eyes. Gilbert always referred to Ms. Gomez as his wife, yet she corrected him every time...
Were they married or not?
The guard, sensing the need to clarify, quickly said, "Your wife was taken to the hospital last night, didn’t you know?"
He thought Gilbert was already informed and had headed straight to the hospital.
Gilbert's expression darkened. "Which hospital?"
