Chapter 644:
Stewart’s anger burned beneath the surface, yet he forced himself to maintain composure and spoke with practiced courtesy. “Billy, please express my gratitude to Mr. Moss. However, the two caregivers Gabriela has already arranged will suffice p>
“That won’t be adequate, Mr. Williams. Your injuries are severe—you can’t even lift a glass of water independently. Mr. Moss believes that hiring eighteen additional caregivers is reasonable,” Billy replied with unwavering politeness. “This represents Mr. Moss’s genuine concern. I implore you not to decline his generosity p>
Billy turned toward Gabriela, silently requesting her input.
Gabriela recognized that eighteen caregivers seemed excessive, though on further consideration, the physician had indeed recommended additional support staff.
She offered gentle guidance. “Stewart, allow them to assist you for one week p>
Seven days surrounded by an army of attentive caregivers monitoring his every breath?
Stewart doubted he could endure even twenty-four hours of such suffocating attention.
With Gabriela’s approval secured, Billy positioned the eighteen caregivers throughout the room and departed swiftly.
Later that day, when Stewart mentioned his thirst, a caregiver instantly prepared water for him.
When Stewart complained about the harsh sunlight streaming through the windows, two sturdy caregivers positioned themselves as human shields, blocking every offensive ray.
When Stewart expressed hunger, the response proved equally swift. Among the eighteen-person team, two professional chefs had been strategically placed to craft nutritious, delectable meals. They promised seven days of culinary variety without a single repeated dish.

Within forty-eight hours, Gabriela concluded that her presence had become superfluous. The caregivers operated with such efficiency that she felt like an intruder disrupting their choreographed routine.
She reduced her visits to brief noon appearances, checking his progress before departing.
Stewart’s jaw clenched with mounting frustration.
Wesley had orchestrated this torture with diabolical precision. Seeking revenge, Stewart summoned his assistant on the third morning and demanded immediate discharge arrangements.
Erik shifted nervously. “Mr. Williams, didn’t the physician recommend a month-long stay p>
Furthermore, judging by Stewart’s earlier enthusiasm, he had seemed prepared to extend his hospitalization indefinitely.
How much time had actually passed? Only ten days.
“Execute my instructions without question p>
Stewart’s piercing glare sent Erik scrambling toward the administrative offices.
While processing the paperwork, Erik contacted Gabriela directly.
His employer’s dramatic gesture aimed solely at capturing Gabriela’s undivided attention.
This situation demanded immediate intervention.
“Miss Haynes, I’m begging you—please come and reason with Mr. Williams p>
Gabriela was conducting final inspections on the hotel project when Erik called her.
She stepped into a secluded corridor. “What’s the situation p>
Erik exhaled heavily. “Mr. Williams can’t adapt to hospital life. He’s demanding discharge today, and I’m currently handling the documentation p>
When Gabriela reached the hospital, the discharge forms bore Stewart’s signature, and he had dismissed the doctor’s passionate protests.
Gabriela had no alternative but to escort him home.
Inside Stewart’s villa, worry clouded Gabriela’s expression.
“Are your domestic staff properly trained? Your wounds remain vulnerable—you must prevent exposure to contaminated water. Should we consider hiring additional household help p>
That cherished sensation of being genuinely cared for washed through Stewart, leaving him deeply satisfied.
“Gabriela, if my well-being concerns you, perhaps you could visit daily to monitor my condition and remind me? Otherwise, I might neglect proper care while working p>
Gabriela regarded him with weary resignation. “Stewart, maintaining your health is your personal responsibility p>
“But I sustained these injuries protecting you p>
Stewart’s emotional manipulation bordered on shameless, yet since his statement contained undeniable truth, Gabriela found herself unable to argue effectively.
She conceded reluctantly. “Very well. I’ll check on you each day p>
“How about you take me to lunch today?” Stewart suggested smoothly. “To celebrate my homecoming p>
Such a reasonable request left Gabriela with no graceful escape. “Agreed p>
