The next morning, Ethan flew in on his private jet and arrived at the hospital in Hanalua.
"Don!" Ethan burst into the room and rushed to Donovan's bedside. "How are you feeling? Were you badly hurt?"
"What are you doing here?" Donovan was a little puzzled.
"Giselle called me yesterday afternoon and told me you two ran into trouble, so I flew over as soon as I could!" Ethan's eyes were filled with concern. "What on earth happened? I thought this place was supposed to be safe. How did you end up in danger on the island?"
"It was all my fault," Giselle walked in and explained quietly. "I suggested we explore a deserted island. I didn't expect the speedboat to break down and leave us stranded overnight. The following day, we ran into a group of thugs who tried to extort us. We had no idea things would spiral out of control. Fortunately, we're safe now."
Ethan felt a little guilty when his eyes landed on her. After all, he was the one who had orchestrated Giselle's death.
"That's enough. I'm fine. You can go now." No matter how much time had passed, Donovan still hadn't forgiven Ethan for what he'd done back then, and he didn't want to talk to him either.
Ethan felt a sharp pain in his chest when he noticed the bandages around Donovan's head, the cast on his leg, and the injuries all over his body. He never imagined that the moment Giselle got back on her feet, Donovan would end up like this.
He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't been so selfish back then, if he hadn't meddled in their relationship and sent Giselle overseas… perhaps none of this would've happened. Just then, he glanced at Giselle and noticed how frail she looked at the moment. She looked nothing like the daring, fiery little vixen she used to be, and that realization only made him feel worse.
At that moment, something seemed to click inside his mind, and all the prejudice he'd held against Giselle disappeared.
"How's your body holding up, Giselle?" Ethan asked with concern.
