Chapter128.

At this very moment.

The sound of the rain beating against the windows was all they could hear.

Gabriel, who had spent an hour clearing the road mud, immediately rushed to Waterbrook Village after the road was cleared with the assistance of the bodyguards in moving the large stones that had fallen from the mountain onto the road.

All his thoughts were focused on Hazel’s safety, and the wounds on his hands were quickly disinfected but not properly treated.

Gabriel had just wiped his body with hot water, and now the wet wound started to ache.

Hazel quietly drank tea.

She also didn’t know what to say to Gabriel, her ex–husband.

Suddenly, Gabriel deliberately placed his most severely injured hand on the table, so that Hazel would immediately see it if she looked over.

Sure enough, the next second.

Hazel keenly noticed the scars on the man’s back of the hand and palm, each one more terrifying than the last.

She didn’t want to get involved, but her conscience wouldn’t let her be at ease knowing that he got hurt because of coming to see her.

Hazel said, “What happened to your hand?”

Gabriel’s eyes flickered.“The road collapsed on the way, so we had to spend some time cleaning it up before it could be reopened.”

Spend some time? Gabriel, along with all the bodyguards, were busy for two or three hours before barely clearing a passable path.

“In such a hurry, I didn’t have time to deal with it.”

Gabriel’s eyes revealed an elusive glint, and he said softly, “I’m feeling a bit sore now. Do you have a first aid kit here?”

His words and actions were overly calm. Hazel brought the medicine box.

The bodyguard who brought the first aid kit and had some knowledge of bandaging noticed that there were many broken stones inside the wound, making the treatment more complicated.

Gabriel didn’t speak and allowed the bodyguard to tend to his wound.

Half an hour passed.

Hazel looked at the small pebbles that had been cleared off the table, her gaze also rather complex.
