Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1238

Charlie shot him a glance and warned, "Don't tease her, she's sensitive."

"Protecting her, are you?" Gavin leaned in, "You serious about her?"

Charlie replied calmly, "She's an old friend. Don't be a bore in front of her."

"A friend?" Gavin smirked, "Which woman has ever escaped your charms? Any female creature, even a bird, would lose its feathers after passing you!"

Charlie sneered, "How could it fly without feathers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he was sounding like Emily. He collected his thoughts and asked seriously, "What's up?"

"Mmm, we're having some folks from G Country over in a few days for the AI tech upgrade," Gavin got straight to business, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.

South Hospital.

After Bonnie's uncle moved to the free ward, the Ferbers paid a special visit.

Seeing the Ferbers' radiant smiles, the uncle's family kept expressing their gratitude, "We thought we'd have to wait a couple of days but didn't expect to move this afternoon. Dr. Martin’s so capable. Should we prepare a gift to express our thanks?"

Bonnie's father was thrilled, "No need, we're all family. Besides, Dr. Martin helped you because of our connections, don't overthink it!"

She understood, "Right, then we'll just remember this favor."

"We're all family, no need to be so formal!" Terry said with a laugh.

The nurse who came to change the medicine overheard their conversation and made a call as soon as she left the room, "Sherry, does Dr. Martin have a girlfriend?"

The other side was surprised, "No, I was hoping that you two would get together. How could Martin have a girlfriend?"

She ventured, "Emily, how did you end up having lunch with Mr. James?"

Emily frowned subconsciously and quickly said, "There were many people at lunch, including Estelle and the others. Mr. James only helped because he knew I was in trouble."

"Oh, I see." Gina sounded disappointed. "Indeed, for us it was a huge challenge, but for others, it's just a phone call away, such a trivial matter!"

Emily said seriously, "But it's still a favor, I need to reciprocate."

Gina awkwardly replied, "Emily, maybe Mom went a bit overboard at noon, don't take it to heart. You have no idea how nasty the Ferbers were on the phone, I was just too anxious, you have to understand."

Emily didn't know what to say. She was always told to understand afterwards. As if not understanding meant she was being unreasonable and immature.

Moreover, Gina only comforted her after the Ferber issue was resolved. If it hadn't been resolved, there wouldn't have been any words of understanding.
