Our Love Story: Hard to Guard Against the Sudden Love Strike

Chapter 556 - 528: Partied Until Passing Out

(Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter 8)When Gage Grant heard it, he got excited, but after a moment, his expression dimmed again: "I didn’t bring swimming trunks."

Logan Lockwood immediately pulled out two crumpled pairs of men’s swim briefs from his trench coat pocket, stuffed one into Gage Grant’s hand, and winked at him.

Gage Grant understood instantly, and the two sneaked off up the stairs.

Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton were preparing fruit at the dining table, completely unaware that those two had gone upstairs to party.

.

By seven o’clock, everyone had arrived.

Sienna Thornton invited Rhonda Wagner and Aurora Buckley, two of her disciples, along with Maeve and Zion Quincy.

In addition to Gage Grant and Logan Lockwood, Simon Forrester also invited Jack Hawthorne, Tobias Blackwood, Gavin Gale, Harrison Rowe, and Aiden Chaucer.

Gavin Gale and Harrison Rowe, being Simon Forrester’s assistants, with Aiden Chaucer as the overall project manager of the villa, had been there numerous times during its construction and inspection phases, so they opted not to explore and instead chatted and ate outside.

Simon Forrester and Sienna Thornton guided the others who’ve never toured the villa up from floor to floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Simon Forrester initially planned to lead the guests downstairs to eat. Before descending the stairs, he encountered Logan Lockwood dashing down from the third floor in a white bathrobe, his face flushed red and hair wet.

Logan Lockwood bellowed upon seeing the crowd: "Holy shit, Fourth Master Grant fainted in the sauna, quickly call an ambulance!"

Hearing this, Simon Forrester immediately sprinted to the third floor, with Zion Quincy following behind.

Tobias Blackwood took out his phone to call 911, while Sienna Thornton calmly noted, "It’s alright, Zion is a surgeon, he’s already on his way up."

Saying this, the group hurriedly rushed to the third floor.

Gage Grant had already been carried out of the sauna room, lying near the outdoor yoga deck.

He was only wearing a pair of swim briefs, his face was crimson red, eyes tightly shut as he lay on the yoga mat.

Zion Quincy knelt beside him, checked his pupils, then signaled Simon Forrester to fetch two dumbbells to elevate his legs, finally instructing Simon Forrester to go prepare some saline.

Just as Simon was about to rise, he glanced at the approaching group, noting several ladies including his own wife, then turned to retrieve a clean large bath towel from the cabinet to cover Gage Grant’s lower half.

Simon Forrester then went downstairs to prepare the saline, while Sienna Thornton and the rest gathered around concerned: "Zion, what happened to Fourth Young Master Grant?"

Zion Quincy stood up, clapped his hands, and chuckled: "He fainted in the sauna."

The crowd didn’t understand.

Zion Quincy explained: "The sauna room is fairly small, reducing oxygen availability, coupled with the steam which dilates the capillaries in the skin, drawing blood to the surface and causing decreased cerebral circulation. Also..."

He glanced at Gage Grant lying on the ground: "The patient might have gone without food for a long time, coupled with poor rest, leading to hypoglycemia causing the fainting. It’s okay, some fresh air, rest, and saline will suffice."

The crowd, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief.

Jack Hawthorne turned to Logan Lockwood: "Where did the two of you go last night, leaving Fourth Master Grant without food, drink, or sleep?"

Logan Lockwood, feeling wronged, said: "We went for a massage last night. At midnight he got a call saying he had to go to the university town and left early. How would I know where he was partying?"

Jack Hawthorne laughed: "University town, huh? Now I get it."

He turned to whisper to Tobias Blackwood: "He was seeing some broadcasting student from the media university before, I heard she was quite clingy. I bet Fourth went to spend the night with her, not even sleeping. I warned him, at his current age, he should take it easy, but he doesn’t listen..."

Jack Hawthorne’s voice was loud, and with everyone watching Gage Grant waiting for him to wake up, no one was speaking, so everyone heard him.

Tobias Blackwood shook his head, speechless.

Zion Quincy laughed: "So that’s it, no wonder he fainted. His friends can encourage him to exercise regularly to improve his constitution, which will make fainting during occasional late nights less likely."

Jack Hawthorne just laughed without saying anything.

Simon Forrester soon brought the saline up, and Zion Quincy fed a bit to Gage Grant, who quickly regained consciousness.

His eyes, just opened, were filled with confusion and helplessness.

Logan Lockwood hurried to help him up, anxiously asked: "How do you feel now? Are you uncomfortable?"

Gage Grant’s face scrunched up, he smacked his lips and made a face like he was going to vomit: "Ugh... it feels a bit nauseating. What did you feed me?"

Zion Quincy said: "You fainted due to hypoglycemia and oxygen deprivation, we gave you some saline."

Gage Grant, who never ate sweet things, actually gagged: "No wonder my mouth tastes gross."

Tobias Blackwood: "Alright, alright, drink up, fainting in a sauna, aren’t you embarrassed?"

Jack Hawthorne also laughed: "Indeed, stop gagging, people might think you’re pregnant."

Seeing his buddies mocking him in front of everyone, Gage Grant flushed with anger and stood up, ready to confront Jack Hawthorne.

The girls present shrieked, quickly turning away.

Simon Forrester’s face darkened, and he pulled a clean bathrobe from a nearby cabinet and tossed it at Gage Grant: "Put on some clothes!"

It was only then that Gage Grant felt the chill all over, looked down, and cursed several times "Holy shit."

He hurried to put on the bathrobe while Simon Forrester led the girls downstairs.

Jack Hawthorne continued to tease his buddy.

Logan Lockwood nagged Gage Grant about going to bed early from now on, not pulling all-nighters. Annoyed, Gage Grant snapped back at him, and suddenly, the previously quiet third floor became lively.

Meanwhile, Simon Forrester led the ladies back to the first floor.

Aurora Buckley asked: "Chairman Forrester, is the person who fainted a friend of yours?"

Simon Forrester, feeling embarrassed, replied: "Not from this moment."

The ladies laughed, and Sienna Thornton added: "Known as Fourth Young Master Grant in Brimfield, the fourth son of the Grant Family."

Aurora Buckley, not being native to the area but having worked in Brimfield as a lawyer for two years, knew about the influential Grant Family of the city. She exclaimed: "That Fourth Young Master Grant? Oh, I never realized. I truly had no idea such a foolish person could be the Fourth Young Master of the Grants."

Wendy Jacobs chimed in next to her: "He’s also the one who carried sugar cane when Director Thorne hosted a reception the other time. He looks so silly."

Following at the back, Maeve remained silent, embarrassed to mention that person had lit her cigarette last time.

.

The buffet was set up on the outdoor terrace, and Sienna Thornton took the ladies to grab some food while Simon Forrester asked Harrison Rowe to take Gage Grant to his dressing room to pick an outfit he liked to change into.

Half an hour later, dressed in Simon Forrester’s sporty attire, Gage Grant emerged, supported by Harrison Rowe and Logan Lockwood, looking pampered like a queen.

However, halfway down the stairs, seeing Maeve sitting not far away, The Dowager Grant suddenly felt all his blood rushing backward, blushing, he asked Logan Lockwood: "When I fainted, did that short-haired girl come up to see?"

Logan Lockwood glanced at the girls ahead, quickly identifying Maeve, the only one with short hair, and said, exasperated: "You fainted so fast, I was nearly frantic, how could I notice which girls went up?"

The Dowager Grant’s face was drooping with a sliver of hope that suddenly revived it. Jack Hawthorne, standing behind him, teased: "Of course she came! She saw everything just like we did."

The Dowager Grant was stunned for a few seconds, then turned to leave.

But Sienna Thornton had already spotted them and waved them over, calling: "Gage Grant, come eat something!"
