Bab 139: Chapter139：GABRIEL

It made more sense, in the long run, to talk to Celine first before Teddy showed up. After her illness, the shock might be too much, so I talked both Silla and Starks into letting us break the news of his return first; then, he could show up after, and they could both tell their daughter their story together.

The brave girl who’d insisted she meets her dad right away disappeared the closer we got to the hospital later that day, she became nervous and clingy, but her nervousness was a blessing in disguise because Lyon insisted on having us followed even though we were certain that it was Starks who’d been following us before and there was no one else to look out for.

I can’t say that I fault him for his over-cautiousness. It’s probably something I would’ve done myself in the same situation. The fact that he was leaving soon probably had something to do with him wanting to dot all of his Is and cross all of his Ts.
