A Love Rekindled

Chapter 38

I closed my eyes and pulled myself together. In a moment, I felt something tighten around my waist, and I was lifted off the ground.

When I opened my eyes, I was being carried sideways in Bruce’s arms.

Our eyes met, and his voice trembled. “Don't be afraid, the medics are almost here.”

There was fatigue in his eyes, and his brow was furrowed tightly. He looked unusually anxious.

Was this an illusion?

I shifted my focus and closed my eyes before opening them again. I pushed his tense arm aside and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Let me down."

Bruce did not move. He looked up at John, who had rushed over. "Where are the medics?" he asked accusingly. His voice was unsteady and wavering.

I was too close to him. I could even see the vein throbbing in his forehead. He had lost his composure.

"They're coming. They're almost here." John looked helplessly at me and said comfortingly, "Nance, don't be scared. The rescue point is very close. You will be fine.”

I corrected him. “It's Nancy."

Then I saw Cindy walk out from behind John.

She ran up, panting as she stared at Bruce and asked, "Bruce, why are you carrying Nancy?"

There was a note of hurt in her eyes, and she was obviously testing him.

When Cindy asked him, Bruce seemed to realize that it was inappropriate. His brow knitted together. "She's injured.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He sounded harsh.

Cindy looked stricken. She lowered her voice and said, "That's not what I meant. I meant... You can't pick someone up right after they fall.” Bruce choked and glanced at John. He said, "Are these medics tortoises?"

John panicked slightly. There was a hunted and awkward look in his eyes.

I breathed in and said, "Mr. Harold, Ms. Lane is right. Put me down."

If he had accidentally moved my bone out of place. it would be troublesome.

"Don't move,” Bruce reminded me. “Get in the car."

He insisted on carrying me into the ambulance.

Cindy followed closely and said, "The cycling is still ongoing. You shouldn't just leave, Bruce. I'll go with Nancy and take care of her.”

She was right. How could the leader not be present at a team building event?

Caroline ran up to us. I looked at her meaningfully and said, “Having Ms. Whittaker is enough. I won't trouble Mr. Harold and Ms. Lane, then.”

At the rescue point. the doctor gave me a checkup. When he looked at my arm, he accidentally touched my wristband, and there was an unreadable look in his eyes.

“You sprained your left wrist, but it's not too serious." He wrote out a prescription as he said, "However, you are too thin.” I was over five feet tall, but I was barely 90 pounds.

Caroline glared at me. "Did you hear that? Eat your meals regularly and stop working overtime.”

The doctor looked compassionately at me and sad, ' ‘Health problems aren't necessarily because of your-~

eating habits. It could also be > because you are too stressed. You needito take care of your mental

health as well.”

The doctor had just finished speaking when the door to the clinic opened suddenly. Bruce and Cindy both appeared in the doorway. Bruce looked at me intensely.

My heart constricted, and my hand curled involuntarily. Unfortunately, it tugged on my ligament.

It hurt.

"Is it very serious?” he asked the doctor nervously.

"It's a sprain. Ice it and then make sure to rest. Don't partake in strenuous exercise."

"She fell down, after all." Cindy suddenly interrupted. “Does she need to stay overnight in hospital for observation?"

There didn't seem to be anything wrong with her concerned tone.

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "It would be best to observe her for a night.”

Cindy looked obviously relieved.

Only then did I realize what she was. up to. I said tactfully, "Mr. Harold,it's a pity that I won't be able to join the partytonight. hope that everyone has a good time." Content. belongs to 7

Bruce inclined his head and said impassively, "Rest well.” After they left. Caroline took a sip of water in annoyance and said, "Cindy is on her guard against you.”

I shrugged. "Isn't this great? It's quiet."

Caroline paused and said, "When 2 you fell.down that slope, I screamed for help. Bruce heard me and c” scrambled off his tandem i ina ‘panic, leaving Cindy stranded by.t Herself."

I closed my eyes and said softly, "Yes, well. This team building is organized by Roeval., after all. If something were to happen, Bruce would be held responsible.”
