Love After a Steamy Affair

Chapter 386: In-laws Meet Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation “Yes,” said Xeno.

Out of habit, Gabriel reached into his pocket for a cigarette. However, he found nothing. His voice betrayed his slight frustration as he said, “Do you know what would have happened if | had been a step late?”

Although Caleb and Xeno were not present, it wasn’t too difficult to imagine what the situation looked like at that time, especially after Caleb witnessed the injury on Gabriel's leg.

Xeno remained silent as Gabriel’s cold eyes watched him. “She would have died.” “This has nothing to do with my sister,” said Xeno after taking a deep breath.

“Xeno Lewis.” Gabriel was calm as he slowly enunciated Xeno’s name and looked at the latter sternly. “I don’t think you have experienced anything similar to what | did before so you might not understand. But know this, if anything had happened to my wife, it would not end with just Diana Lewis leaving her company.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Xeno pursed his lips tightly. He had an inkling of what would have happened to his sister had things taken a turn for the worse. There was no room for negotiation with Gabriel but Xeno still wanted to try his luck. Gabriel’s response came as no surprise to him.

Serenity returned with the medicine. By then, Gabriel was the only one in the ward. “They left already?” “Do you want them to stay for dinner too?” asked Gabriel with raised eyebrows.

Speechless, she simply picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. After a few minutes, the temperature of the water was about right so she popped out a few tablets according to the prescription — about ten capsules and granules in total — and handed the medicine to Gabriel.

He took the medicine and put it into his mouth. He then took the water from her hand and drank a mouthful before swallowing the medicine.

“Do you want some fruits?” asked Serenity. Gabriel shook his head. “You go relax. | have some documents to deal with.”

Serenity nodded as she sat back on the sofa and plugged in her earphones to watch a few videos on her phone. Meanwhile, Gabriel was working on his laptop, dealing with his emails.

After watching a movie, she went to fetch water with the kettle. When she came back, there were two more people in the room. “Mom, Sis, why are you here?” She looked at Helena Turner and Selena in surprise.

If John hadn’t called the Rivers residence, Helena Turner wouldn’t have known that her daughter had been hospitalized. “| heard that you were hospitalized so your Sis and | came to visit.”

Serenity had already changed out of her hospital gown and was wearing her own clothes. Since she did not have any external injuries, she looked quite fine. On the other hand, Gabriel looked more like the victim.

Selena took the kettle from her. “You had been in real danger. Luckily, you came out of it alive.”

Serenity was indeed quite lucky. If they had missed the timing just a little, Serenity would not have been able to return alive. Serenity nodded. “Well, I’m fine. Gabriel, on the other hand, got injured while trying to save me.”

“What did the doctor say?” Helena Turner looked at Gabriel who was lying on the bed.

Gabriel had put the laptop aside when the two ladies arrived. He calmly said, “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury.”

Because his feet were under the blanket and only his right hand was wrapped in gauze, Helena Turner and Selena did not have the slightest doubt and completely believed his words.

They had also gotten a rough understanding of the situation from John, and Helena Turner was terrified. But now that she saw that they were not seriously injured, she was relieved. “Fortunately, you’re both OK.”

Helenna pulled Serenity aside and chatted for a while. She was about to get up and leave when the door of the ward opened and a graceful woman entered.

Serenity was shocked and immediately turned to look at Gabriel who frowned slightly as he said, “Mom.. Why are you here?”
