Scarlet was pleased with how Gavin gave her his time and how she remained by her side until she awoke.

Though she listened carefully to his explanation of how she fainted and had a seizure, she was also concerned about her health and wondered if it was an allergic reaction to the tea she drank the morning she was discharged.

She only told Gavin the name of the hospital and the doctor's contact information.

When she finished giving Gavin the doctor's contact information, she started coughing and fell unconscious again, so Gavin immediately alerted the doctors to help her regain consciousness.

They asked him to leave the room while they treated her, and he was so afraid as he left that he began pacing the hospital reception area and praying that she would wake up.

He was so scared that he called Meghan, his wife, but she declined the call as soon as she saw it because she did not want anything to ruin her mood, especially Gavin.

Gavin was pacing the hospital lobby and silently praying

    Meghan was taken aback by Noah's tone and took a sip of her wine to calm herself down after hearing his earlier statement."Meghan, you are taking it the wrong way; I meant that we are more than friends; we are now going to be business partners, which I am excited about; at least I will get to see your face frequently." Noah replied with a coy smile and sipped his red wine."Thank God, please speak in plain English so that I can understand what you are saying," Megan said to Noah, who was still blushing."So tell me about yourself, Meghan?" Noah inquired as he wanted to learn more about Meghan."This is just lunch, so do not turn it into a date," Meghan said sharply, not wanting to escalate their friendship and still trying to recover from the previous night's experience."I am not asking as a friend, but as a business partner.

Gavin asked as he was handcuffed, surprised that he was being arrested without a valid case.He had heard from others that the police were unjust and fond of falsely accusing innocent people, but he had never witnessed it until today."Keep quiet or else we will not be able to stop ourselves from doing something we both might regret," one of the police officers said in order to silence Gavin from all his blabbering about innocence.
