章 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.
