The Billionaire's Regret: His Secret Wife Turned Medical Genius novel Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Find Dr. Sterling Immediately

Emily was feeling uncomfortable from the lack of oxygen, and she wasn’t in the mood to quarrel with Roman. Just as she was about to speak up and lend one out, a tall and stern figure unexpectedly appeared at the bus door.

Gabriel stood there expressionlessly, his gaze as sharp as a falcon’s. He instantly zeroed in on the oxygen tank Mallory was handing to Emily. In a few long strides, he walked over and took

it without a word.

Emily didn’t even see his movements clearly. She only felt her wrist tighten, then her hands closed around nothing. In one decisive move, he had snatched the oxygen tank from her hands.

Emily’s fingers were still kept in that slightly curled position, the icy sensation from brushing the back of his hand lingering on her fingertips. Her heart also gradually cooled.

From the start, Gabriel didn’t even spare her a word or a glance. He took the oxygen tank and

turned to leave.

Mallory was so enraged that her body trembled, and she pointed at his back to curse, “Can’t you see that Mills is lacking oxygen? Are you-”

Emily lightly pressed her hand down, cutting off what she was about to say. “Help me get another oxygen

tank. I can’t hold on any longer…”

Gabriel didn’t care about Emily’s well–being, but Mallory did. She quickly went to get Emily another oxygen tank.

Emily only felt much better after inhaling some oxygen. She gazed sorrowfully out the bus window, where Gabriel was rushing away. There was no use saying anything to someone who

didn’t care about her.

The other bus passengers exchanged glances.

It seemed to them that Gabriel had gone overboard, but this was their biggest sponsor. What else could they say about it?

The team arrived at their destination the next day, and the medical mission officially started. Emily deliberately chose a medical station much farther away to avoid Gabriel and Amelia.

The weather in the highland was unpredictable. It was still clear skies in the morning, but the weather suddenly changed at noon, with the rain battering down on them.

Gabriel glanced at the downpour, his brows drawing together.

Emily’s medical station was located in the most isolated spot and also had the crudest conditions. Would it get dangerous with such a rainstorm? His gaze searched through the rain, carrying a deep sense of worry that even he was unaware of.

Amelia could tell that he was anxious at a glance. She was afraid that Gabriel would go looking for Emily, so she hurriedly walked over, lightly tugging his sleeve. “Gabe, I don’t feel so good. My head’s dizzy. I think I have a fever…”

She swayed slightly, leaning against Gabriel and asking, “Why don’t we return first?”

Gabriel withdrew his gaze from where he was looking, glancing at Amelia’s pale face. He told

her, “I’ll have Roman go with you.”

Amelia bit her lip, looking aggrieved. Her eyes welled up with tears. “Gabe, I want to stay by your side. If you don’t leave, I won’t either.”

She turned, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and started letting out a series of coughs. Then, she turned back to him and forced out a smile.

“I’ll be fine. I’ve gotten much better, so I can bear with it.

Gabriel ignored what she said, but seeing how she was on the verge of collapse, he gave up on searching for Emily personally. He summoned one of the staff members nearby. “Send someone to find Dr. Sterling at once! You must find her and ensure her safety!”

With that, he supported Amelia to head back, saying, “I’ll send you.”

…

The heavy downpour showed no signs of ceasing. The station Emily had chosen was low–lying and prone to collecting rain. A muddy stream accumulated at her ankles in no time at all.

Worse, there were faint roars of thunder coming from the distant hillside, mixed with the snapping of broken tree branches.

A mudslide! Recalling the alarming natural disaster they had encountered during last year’s medical mission, Emily and Mallory’s expressions changed.

They tried to leave, but their only road back was already blocked. They were trapped.

Emily immediately pulled out her phone, but there was no signal at the moment. Mallory also took out her phone, but the result was the same.

“Damn it!” Mallory cursed.
