So ever since the incident, she never even considered telling Gabriel about it, let alone seeking him out.

Adeline was stunned. Her family had left Hasen City for a full day, yet Gabriel suddenly caught up with them.

"Gabriel, why... are you here?" asked Adeline.

Adeline still clung to a sliver of hope at that moment.

Adeline desperately hoped her fleeting suspicion just now was wrong.
