On this side, Flossie Wright came to her senses with some awkwardness and waved his hand away.
"Fine, I’ll take a nap first,"
Glancing at him, Flossie Wright spoke lazily and then leaned back in the chair.
There were no spare beds here, but there was Anthony Ward’s office chair, and an IV drip was a boring task to begin with. To sit upright for one or two hours was really more than any person could bear.
Naturally, that office chair was claimed by Flossie Wright.
Having been sick all day and feeling quite uncomfortable, not having had a proper sleep while traveling, now that she had a chance, Flossie Wright was naturally going to take the time to rest properly.
Without further argument, Perry Reed sat next to her, taking the hand that was attached to the IV.
It was cold.
The liquid from the IV was cold, and due to the temperature, Flossie Wright’s hand was losing heat quickly, as cold as a block of ice.
Feeling helpless, Perry Reed held her hand to warm it.
Outside the tent.
Glenn Hutchinson stood outside the light.
His figure was engulfed in darkness, the drizzling rain hitting his body, soaking his training uniforms through.
He had come back intending to discuss the list of medications with Anthony Ward, to submit it by the next morning so that supplies could arrive as soon as possible.
But he had not expected—
To witness the scene just now.
Sick, yet laughing so heartily.
It was rare to see her laugh like that, even rarer to see her being so intimate with someone else.
Perry Reed’s close contact didn’t meet with resistance from her; she seemed accustomed to it, accepting it with ease.
It felt unfamiliar.
He had never seen Flossie Wright like this before.
This unfamiliarity made his heart sink, grow cold and slightly angry.
After a while.
Glenn Hutchinson turned and walked back into the darkness.
In the middle of the night.
Perry Reed stayed with Flossie Wright until she finished her drip. When his phone was about to run out of battery from vibrating, he managed to answer Daisy Deacon’s call with the last bit of power left.
A few minutes later, he hung up the call.
Flossie Wright, still half-asleep, opened her eyes.
Inside the tent, only one lamp remained lit.
Most had already fallen asleep, and the young nurse and Anthony Ward, who had been busy before, were now asleep on the table.
"What’s the matter?"
Flossie Wright rubbed her forehead and stood up from the chair.
The drip was finished, the needle on the back of her hand had been removed, and she still felt groggy, her head splitting, but the symptoms had eased slightly.
After putting away his phone, Perry Reed looked at her and said softly, "Nail’s looking for you."
Pausing, Flossie Wright looked up and asked, "What for?"
"A gathering,"
Perry Reed’s tone grew heavier.
Nail was always erratic in her ways, even crazier than Erina Taylor had been.
She was supposed to be on her honeymoon but had come to the southwest province in the last few days. Perry Reed had asked her for a car, and once she learned he was here, she drove through several cities overnight to get here.
Her purpose was just two words—
A gathering.
To meet after a long time and also to check out the woman he was with.
Knowing Nail well, Flossie Wright could guess what was happening and simply shook her head with a smile, "You go ahead."
"You’re not going?"
After a brief pause, Perry Reed asked.
"I don’t have the energy," Flossie Wright spread her hands, shrugged her shoulders, and said, "I’m going to sleep."
Mentioning her health, Perry Reed nodded and didn’t insist.
While Flossie Wright was receiving her IV, someone had come over to inform her that her tent for the night had been arranged, and they also described its specific location and characteristics to Perry Reed.
