Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Serenity held her breath with lingering fear. Her face, which had clearly eased up just now, turned pale again at this moment.

Gabriel went into the pharmacy, followed by Caleb. After a few minutes, he returned to the car with a bag in his hand. It was filled with disinfectant and medical cotton swabs.

Xeno’s eyes widened in shock. Did Gabriel have to make them stop so abruptly and dangerously just to buy these medical supplies for Serenity?

Gabriel took the disinfectant from Caleb and told Serenity to turn around.

Serenity was looking out the window when he spoke. She turned to face him and watched him open the disinfectant bottle, dip a cotton swab into it, then apply it to her wound.

Caleb was the calmest person in the car while Xeno’s eyes had grown so wide they looked like his eyeballs were about to fall out.

Just as the cotton swab touched Serenity’s forehead, her body stiffened and she stared blankly at the man in front of her.

His dark eyelashes adorned his deep eyes, making them look even more bottomless. His cool and thin lips were pursed slightly, and the outline of his jaw was as exquisite as a sculpture.

Their faces were very close to each other and she could smell the faint smell of tobacco from his body mixed with a very refreshing mint fragrance.

If it weren’t for the coolness of the disinfectant on her skin, Serenity would have thought this was a dream.

She obediently allowed him to clean her wound. The afterglow of the setting sun appeared orange outside the car window, giving him a more majestic and unattainable aura.

As Gabriel treated her wound, his deep eyes met Serenity’s gaze without warning. Serenity smiled awkwardly.

He leaned back in his chair and screwed the cap back on the disinfectant bottle.

He placed her bag on the seat between the two of them and put the disinfectant into her bag. “Remember to clean it every day.”

“Got it.” The corners of Serenity’s lips curled up and her eyes sparkled like crescent moons.

Gabriel’s seemingly casual concern shocked Xeno so much that he could swallow an egg whole. He could not help but turn around to take a better look at Gabriel, only to be met with a cold glare. Xeno hurriedly turned around and looked ahead, but his ears perked up to listen for any movements behind him.

Serenity drank another mouthful of water and calmly said, “How did you know 1 was at the police station?”

Gabriel remained silent and it was Caleb who said, “I happened to pass by the scene of the accident.”

That was all that needed to be said because Serenity could already guess the sequence of actions following that. She was quite surprised since she didn’t think he would have treated her this well even when they were in ‘that’ relationship previously.

She turned slightly to look at Gabriel, who had a cold expression on his face. With a smile, she said, “Is President Jones usually this good to his employees? Not only did he come to the police station personally, but he also helped me hire a lawyer. I’m really lucky to be able to work at Zephyr Group.”

There was a hint of playfulness in her words, causing Gabriel to turn his head to look at her.

He was met with her beautiful eyes which shone cleaner and brighter than the autumn sky. At this moment, they reflected his indifferent face.

He retracted his gaze and rubbed the lines on his palm with one hand, his eyes turning deep.

Xeno couldn’t help but laugh before saying, “Miss Serenity, not every employee of Zephyr gets this kind of treatment.”

His law firm had been working with Zephyr Group for nearly five years. Up until now, other than Serenity, he had never seen Gabriel treat any other employee with such love.

Based on his observation, President Jones gave this woman special treatment, and he knew they were not in a simple working relationship..
