From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter 271 It Turns Out To Be A Cheap Dad

Menu

Hazel had just finished taking a shower when she happened to see her phone vibrating on the bedside table. Without thinking twice, she answered the call from Gabriel.

Now all three children are in his hands.

Did Gabriel call so late? I hope nothing happened to the child.

She raised her voice and asked, "Is the child okay?"

As soon as he heard her gentle and worried voice, Gabriel's eyes darkened and his voice became hoarse as he said, "The child is fine.

Hazel breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly her tense emotions relaxed as well.

She clicked on the speakerphone, continued to wipe her still damp hair, and asked him, "So, what's the reason for calling so late?"

Actually, Gabriel didn't know why he suddenly made this phone call.

Just hearing her voice, he felt a sense of calmness wash over him.

She was like his... tranquilizer.

The silence from the opposite side carried an indescribable hidden meaning, transmitted through subtle electric currents. Hazel, who suddenly realized it, paused for a moment while wiping her hair.

She glanced at the phone on the bedside table, her hair half-dried and partially wrapped in a towel. Her voice was cold as she said, "It's okay, I'll hang up the phone, it's late."

Gabriel lightly "hmm"ed.

He looked at Leila, who was sleeping on the master bed in the Campbell's villa, and remembered over two years ago when this place was still his and Hazel's marital home, but now it had long changed. Gabriel leaned back, tilting his head against the sofa, gazing up at the ceiling. He sat alone, with thick, ink-like eyes filled with endless darkness, eventually turning into a faint sigh.

The long silence has passed.

A barely audible thank you rang out in the silent bedroom, a silent curve appeared on his lips as he looked at Leila's peaceful sleeping face, his gaze gentle.

At this moment, he was immensely grateful to Hazel, thankful that she was willing to give birth to their daughter.

After learning that his daughter was his own flesh and blood, Gabriel found the hospital where Hazel had stayed.

The shareholders behind that hospital were Hazel's good friends.

So, everything can be explained.

Her friend told him that when she first found out she was pregnant, Hazel wanted to tell him, but she saw the trending topic of the "Shen Yan family" and the emotional turmoil it caused, resulting in her staying in the hospital for a long time.

Even on the day when they obtained their divorce certificate.

She actually left from the hospital, collected and then returned to the hospital for the purpose of preserving the pregnancy.

These words turned into dense needles at this moment, fiercely piercing into Gabriel's heart. He realized that unbeknownst to him, she had single-handedly accomplished her own spiritual salvation in a place he was unaware of.

All her calmness and indifference now were all consequences of his blindness to see through people's hearts.

All the pain was the consequence he deserved to endure.
