The next day, not long after Gina woke up, a nurse brought overa bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine. “Miss Miller, this is anti-inflammatory medicine. I’ll help you insert the needle on your hand.
Gina nodded. The nurse did not seem to be proficient in acupuncture. After two tries, she did not manage to prick the right. blood vessel. She instantly became nervous. “Tm sorry, I’m sorry, Miss Miller. I’m still an intern. I’m not proficient.”
Gina’s heart softened when she saw her crying. “It’s fine. Don’t be nervous. Try again.”
“Thank you. Thank you, Miss Miller. The nurse adjusted her state of mind and injected Gina again. She finally succeeded.
“Miss Miller, let me know if you need anything.” With that, the nurse left the ward.
Gina closed her eyes and planned to rest for a while more. Fifteen minutes later, Gina realized that something was wrong.
She had a fever.
She looked up at the remaining one-third of the anti-inflammatory medicine and smiled calmly. There was something wrong with this bottle of potion.
She felt the tip of her nose moisten.
When she touched it, she realized that she had a nosebleed.
She saw black blood on her hand and realized that she had been poisoned.
Gina sneered coldly. She wanted to wait for the symptoms of poisoning to appear to determine what kind of poison it was.
She removed the IV drip and waited for the poison reaction to appear. But soon, she realized that there was no reaction.
Moreover, her fever had subsided on its own.
In her early years, she had used the method in ancient medical books to recuperate her body. Her body was superior to ordinary people, so when the poison invaded her body, her body quickly reacted. However, now that such a reaction had disappeared, it did not mean that she had recovered on her own Instead, it meant that the poison was lurking.
It was a very powerful poison.
Right now, she was not sure how long the incubation period of the poison would last. Only when the poison acted up could she use the process of healing herself to resolve this unknown poison.
Gina checked herself and realized that everything was normal.
The nurse who had just given her an intravenous drip walked into the ward. When she saw that Gina had already removed the IV drip in advance, she was a little surprised. “Miss Miller, you can press the call button to call me when you need help.”
Gina looked indifferent and did not have much of a reaction, so the nurse did not say anything else.
After packing up the trash medical equipment, she turned around and left.
Gina dialed Michael.
On the other end of the line, Michael asked, “Gina, are you at the hotel? Why didn’t you come to the office today? Are you planning to go back to Norwood?”
The Blossom Grand Hotel’s elevator malfunction had been suppressed by the hotel owner with money. No one was allowed to spread the news. That was why Michael did not hear anything

The hotel also said that they would take full responsibility for Gina.
Gina knew that the elevator accident was deliberately targeted at her. To be honest, the hotel could not be blamed.
Gina said, Tm at Central Hospital.”
“What?” Michael was in disbelief. “You’re injured?”
Gina said calmly, “Yes, it’s a small problem. My left hand is fractured.”
She said nonchalantly, “Fortunately, it’s not my right hand. Otherwise, I will be unable to do a lot of things.”
Michael was worried sick. “I’ll be right there.”
“I’m fine. Don’t come over. I still need you to help me deal with some things”
“What?” Michael was still a little worried.
Gina said. “Help me check on a nurse.”

At the CEO’s office of Jackson Group. Gabriel was a little uneasy. After sending Ashley Jackson back, he did not return to Oriata City. Instead, he stayed in the company to deal with his work.
The company could not do without him. Recently, he had often delayed meetings because of Gina, causing the shareholders to be quite dissatisfied. He did not want Gina to bear unnecessary charges because of him,
In the past, he had devoted all his time to work other than resting because he didn’t ever care about anything.
Things were different now. He did not neglect the company’s matters. He only delayed a few meetings, however, he had already attracted dissatisfaction.
The corners of Gabriel’s lips curled up helplessly.
David came to the office. “Mr. Jackson. Mr. Barnes, who has made an appointment to see you, is in the guest room.”
Gabriel nodded and went to the guest room.
On the other side, Colin, who was waiting in the guest room, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the street below Jackson Group.
The view was not bad.
“Mr. Barnes, Mr. Jackson is here,” David Gray said.
Colin turned around with a harmless smile on his face. “Mr. Jackson, hello!”
“Hello, Gabriel replied politely.
They took their seats.
Colin took a sip of the coffee poured by David. Tve heard a lot about you, Mr. Jackson. You look even more impressive than the rumors say.”
The corners of Gabriel’s mouth curled up slightly. He did not care about such unintentional praise.
Gabriel directly cut to the chase. “You said that you have a very good and mature project on hand. You want the Jackson Group to participate in order to gather more funds. What project is it?”

Colin gestured to the accompanying secretary and took out a contract. He made an inviting gesture and said. “Mr. Jackson, please take a look.”
Gabriel flipped through the contract and looked at it. He resisted the urge to frown and put down the contract. “I have no intention of investing in the foreign casino owned by the Barnes family.”
Colin raised his eyebrows. “Mr. Jackson. Gambling is legal in my country. In fact, as long as there’s a limit to it, gambling can also be a form of daily entertainment. Don’t you think so?”
Without waiting for Gabriel to answer, Colin continued, “Actually, there’s no lack of gambling entertainment in this country, right? Like the machines that grab dolls. Isn’t the consumer betting on the probability of successfully grabbing the doll?”
Gabriel said coldly, “A claw machine is not the same as a casino.
“Fine.” Colin shrugged nonchalantly. “Looks like Mr. Jackson really isn’t interested in this deal. It’s fine. We’ll meet again if fate allows it. I won’t disturb you anymore”
“Goodbye, Colin said.
After David sent Colin off, Colin stopped in his tracks. “I wonder if Mr. Jackson can do me the honor of seeing me off? Just to
the elevator door.”
Gabriel did not have a good impression of Colin, but there was no need to reject him.
Gabriel stood up and strode over to Colin. “Mr. Barnes, let’s go.”
Colin said, “Okay.”
In the corridor, Colin bumped into Ethan, who happened to walk out of the elevator. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Mr. Jackson!” Colin looked very enthusiastic. He went forward and hugged Ethan Jackson. Ethan was shocked. He didn’t know what Colin was doing.
Ethan felt a chill, but when he thought of Colin’s temperamental face at King bar last night, he did not dare to resist.
His forehead was covered in gauze because Colin had smashed a glass of wine on him,
“Mr. Barnes, why are you here?” Ethan asked with a stiff expression.
Colin let go of Ethan and smiled meaningfully. “I’m here to discuss business with your Uncle Gabriel.”
