Chapter 90 Tending The Garden

The villa had been overgrown with words and everything will in a state of disamay. Sophie and Gabrielle tried a much possible to put the place back in shape and also beautify it. Sophie never expected Gabrielle to be a strong girl, but she had proved her wrong and impressed her in the last three days by enduring all the hardships that came with beautifying the new home all over. She didn’t complain even when her hands got blisters or when her arms were cut by the blades of the overgrown weeds. She just bandaged the injuries, put on her gloves, and continued working cheerfully.

Actually, it was her resilience that made Sophie worried about her. “How could she pretend all was well with her and keep working with so much vigor?’ she thought to herself

“I couldn’t have done this without you, Sophie. The praise has to be attributed to the both of us, you know,” Gabrielle said as she smiled at her with sincerity.

Just then, their lively chitchat was interrupted by a car driving closer towards them. The car was painted silver and Gabrielle knew that she had seen the car somewhere before. She stood up immediately

she recognized who the owner of the car was,

“How nice it is to see you here, Dr. Remy. What brings you here?” she greeted him warmly as soon as he got off the car.

At first, when he got out of the car, he thought he was at the wrong place. The house in front of him was tidy and well arranged unlike how it was some days before. He didn‘t even recognize them in the gardener’s suits they wore and sun hats covering their heads. He would have left immediately thinking that he was in the wrong place if Gabrielle had not called out his name.

“Gabrielle? Sophie? What are you both doing here?” he asked them in surprise. He was totally confused

“God!” he exclaimed. “Was it you two who cleaned up the compound?” he asked as he looked at the both of them in surprise. He didn’t need an answer from them to know that they were the ones who arranged the whole place. The dress they had on had already given them out

“Of course. Do you think we did well? Just the both of us did the job, Sophie and me.” Gabrielle raised her head and told him proudly

“Well done. You have done well. I didn’t

expect that you would know a whole lot about gardening I now have better impression of this rich young lady.” He said this sincerely. He was neither flattering her, nor being sarcastic.

“Stop flattering me, Dr. Remy. I have never been a rich lady. I have always been interested in tending a garden, growing flowers and plants since I was very young. It would be such a waste of good soil to let this place be overgrown with so many unwanted plants. Besides, I don’t have anything else to do. Let me just finish clearing out the weeds and then plant some flowers and fine plants. The garden will look so beautiful.” She didn’t hesitate to say what she had in mind. She beamed with smiles as soon as she said it.

On the flip side, he agreed with her. When he was here a few days ago, he felt that the villa was cursed because the weeds there were as tall as a human being. There was an eerie feeling around the house and he didn’t want to hang around. But now, the house looked much more pleasant to look at after all the weeds had been cleaned up.

*This place looks much more beautiful and homely now,” he complimented with a. smile.

“On a lighter note, Dr. Remy, what brings you here? I asked you before, but you didn’t give

me any reply.” she asked him with curiosity.

“Actually, it has been three days since I last saw you. I’m just here to see if everything is all right with you. How are you feeling now? Any pain?” he asked her directly without beating around the bush.

“I’m fine. There’s nothing serious. I’ve been taking the drugs you prescribed for me and they have been quite effective.” She showed him the injuries on her face healing up nicely

“Let’s go inside and I’ll check them for you. The remaining weeds can be attended to tomorrow. For now, you need to have a good rest. I’m very sure you’ve worked hard enough for today.” He held her and directed her inside

“He’s right, Miss Jones. You’ve been hard on yourself these few days. You had better listen to Dr. Remy and try to rest so you don’t break down. Also, allow him to check the wounds and blisters on your hands. I noticed that there are a few on your hands that you covered with your gloves.” Sophie cut in.

“You have blisters on your hands? Let me have a look at them.” He urged her to take off her gloves.

“It’s not serious at all. Sophie is just getting herself worked up over nothing.” Although

she complained for a little while, she took off her gloves obediently and showed him her hands. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

There were about four to five blisters on her light-skinned palms. It didn’t take him so long to drain all the blisters of their juice.

“Subsequently. I’ll apply sofie antibacterial cream in case it gets infected. You should stop gardening for a few days so is not to cause more harm to your hands. Otherwise, the injuries might be worse than this,” he advised her with concern written all over his face still looking at her palm, which was red as a result of the hard work.

“I know,” she said as she took her hands away from his.

“Miss Jones, you’ve been working for the past three days. It will do your body a lot of good if you rest for a few days. Please stay for lunch, Dr. Remy. I’ll cook for you.” Without waiting to hear his answer, she dashed into the kitchen to prepare him something to eat.

As soon as he was done treating the blisters on her hands, he bandaged the wounds carefully and gave her some tips.

“Do your best to keep your hands away from the water today, If at all it’s very important for you to put your hand in the water, like taking a shower, wrap your hands with a

plastic bag De plastic WTAP IY tomorrow, You can remove the bandage.” He repeated his statement twice to drive home his point.

He felt that Gabrielle and Westley were not compatible with each other. Ever since they got married, she had been injured countless

“I understand,” she quickly said to avoid him repeating himself.

She looked at her hand which was wrapped in a bandage over and over. Someone else who saw it would think that she had a serious injury.

“Has Westley not been around these past few

He didn’t find any sign of Westley around the house. If he guessed correctly, he hadn’t been here for some days. So he left his wife alone here in this lonely and abandoned house accompanied by no one else but Sophie.

quite

Notwithstanding. Gabrielle seemed relaxed and contented staying here.

“No, he hasn’t been around. He hasn’t come back after he left that day. Maybe he is still very angry with me.” As soon as she said this, she felt ashamed of herself a little bit. Besides, she had gone too far in scolding him that day.

“Did you two have any disagreement?” he

ked her with a bewildeled look on his face.

He thought that it was out of the question for them to disagree on any issue. She didn’t seem to be someone who was uncooperative and her husband Wilsn’t the kind of persoft who liked getting into an argument with someone, no matter how small. So it should be impossible for two of such people to have any dispute.

“I can’t say.” It was obvious that she didn’t want to talk about the issue between her and her husband.

Of course, he respected lier decision and didn’t probe further.

“Since you won’t be able to do gardening anymore this afternoon, why don’t you let me take you to the flower market. I thought you wanted to buy some flowers and plants to beautify the garden. Or don’t you want to get them anymore?” He switched to a more relaxing topic to make her happy.

She showed great interest in the topic and beamed with smiles. “Certainly, I would still love to get them. But don’t you need to go to work, Dr. Remy?”

“I don’t have an operation on my schedule for this afternoon. Besides, I’m not on duty

today. so it’s fine.” he hasured her. When he saw how brightly she smiled. he couldn’t help but smile too. He knew that she would cheer up once he brought up the discussion about flowers.

“Really? That’s very wonderful. Sophie and I were even thinking about taking a taxi to the flower market to pick up some beautiful flowers. Now that you’ve volunteered to help, I would be happy to go with you. I’m sure Sophie would be happy as well about this wonderful piece of news.” She smiled happily

The way she smiled made him feel at ease. He kept wondering wliy Westley would treat such a lady as cheerful and gracious as she was like she was an enemy. He just couldn’t wrap his head around it. He felt it was because her brother took Nellie away from

“Let’s go there after we’ve had lunch. There’s still much time. You can’t uproot the weeds in the garden this afternoon again. You have to rest too,” he suggested easily.
