Chapter 171 171: I followed you

[Present]

As Gabriel's eyes sprung open, only for him hear a voice coming from the side.

"Richard, please call the doctor. He is awake," Belle remarked, reaching out to caress Gabriel's hair as he struggled to register his thoughts about his surroundings.

As he gradually regained consciousness, his mind began to whirl with recollections of the terrace incident from where he witnessed Eveline fall.

"Eve!"

His mind flashed like lightning, and he jolted up to sit.

Gabriel stood up from the bed, ignoring the people around him, and stumbled on the floor.

Richard tried to stop him and calm him down, but the fear in his eyes made his stomach churn strangely.

"Dad, where's Eve? Please take me to her. Tell me she's fine? Please, Dad, take me to her."

Gabriel didn't realize he'd been crying, but he was determined to find Eve and ensure her safety.

Richard instantly recovered from his trance and nodded in agreement.

Belle, too, observed her son's distressed emotions and directed Richard to accompany Gabriel to Eveline's ward.

She assisted her son, and he was quickly taken to the room where Eveline was treated.

As soon as Gabriel saw her, his heart started racing.

He carefully walked up to her side, letting go of his parents' hands.

Jonathan, astonished by the scene, stared at Richard and Belle in confusion, but soon his eyes noticed Gabriel's tear filled face.

"She's fine," he said without hesitation as he watched him stop by her side.

Something in Gabriel's looks made him want to reassure the man, who appeared to be more than broken by this time. It was his words that got Gabriel let go of his strength and he dropped to his knees, kissing her cheeks cautiously.
