When She Stops Playing Nice by Hale Saxon

Chapter 405

Gabriel was stunned. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Gina, but he had never expected that Dr. Genevieve, the person he’d been tirelessly searching for, was actually Gina, his future wife.

“Do you think I’m joking?” Gina teased, hoping to lighten the atmosphere. She truly wasn’t in serious trouble, at least not yet.

“No, I believe you. It’s just such a surprise. Gina, I once spent a fortune trying to find you!” Gabriel said, sitting down.

“Why? Because of Neil?” Gina asked.

She recalled the first time she attended Nell’s birthday party at the Jackson family. Neil had asked her about her impressive medical skills and who she had studied under, seemingly probing for information. When she said she was self-taught, Nell hadn’t pressed further.

Gabriel shook his head and said, “No, it was for myself. I was once diagnosed with total org

a ilure that would occur before I turned thirty. I wouldn’t have lived past that age. I had been receiving conservative treatment at Prover Hospital…” Gabriel laughed at the

thought. When he first started treatment there, he didn’t know Prover Hospital was founded by Gina. “I received confidential treatment, but the medicine you provided cured me, so l stopped searching for Dr. Genevieve, who turned out to be you.”

“The Spirit Orchid I gave you?” Gina asked, knowing that the rare herb had the ability to treat o r g a n failure.

“Yes,” Gabriel said.

“So, you were keeping something from me as well,” Gina said. “If you had told me earlier, I would have treated you right away.”

Gabriel laughed and said, “True, but let’s call it even this time, Okay? From now on, let’s not keep secrets from each other. Also, Gina, I’m really worried about you, is there anything I can do for you?”

Gabriel thought for a moment and then quickly added, “Gina, now that the virus in your body has started acting up, you must need a lot of rest. You’ve been busy with the Artificial Seed Palace project, and it’s exhausting. Let me help you, Okay?”

Gina knew Gabriel was concerned for her. She wouldn’t refuse the kindness of her beloved. In the past, she hated owing others favors, but Gabriel was different. His love for her was selfless and unconditional, and she needed to embrace and enjoy it.

“Alright, I still need to purchase some medical equipment to prepare for the research before the project starts. Once I have the list ready, could you help me buy those items?” Gina said.

“Of course,” Gabriel said.

Gabriel hugged Gina, letting her lean against him. “Gina, are you hungry? Do you want some water? Or are you too tired and need to sleep? Whatever you want to do, I’m here with you”

Having Gabriel by her side made Gina feel very secure.

After a while, Gabriel went to the kitchen and made some food for Gina. They watched a movie together and then went to sleep.

The next day, when Gina woke up, she found Gabriel hadn’t left yet.

“Why are you still here?” Gina asked, puzzled.

Gabriel propped himself up and looked at her, saying, “I can’t leave you alone. I’m not going to the office today.”

“I’m really fine. The Jackson Group can’t do without you. You should go to work,” Gina said.

Gabriel was adamant and even changed the subject. “T’ll make you breakfast.”

Since Gabriel insisted on staying with her, Gina didn’t urge him to go to work. He was so busy, and he deserved to rest for a day.

While they were having breakfast, Gina’s phone rang. It was a call from Dylan.

“Gina, did I wake you up?” Dylan politely asked.

Hearing Dylan’s voice, Gabriel frowned and thought, Why is this guy calling Gina so early in the morning?”

Gabriel, annoyed, made some noise to assert his presence. “Gina, do you like the sandwich I made?” he asked.

Gina was puzzled. She had already praised Gabriel’s cooking earlier.

Nonetheless, she responded again, “It’s delicious.”

“Good. I’ll make it for you every day from now on,” Gabriel said.

Dylan, hearing Gabriel’s voice, was momentarily stunned. He had been working under Gina for three years and knew she lived alone. Now, there was a man’s voice on the phone, early in the morning. Though it wasn’t strange for Gabriel, Gina’s legitimate boyfriend, to be there, it still took Dylan by surprise.

After regaining his composure, Dylan cleared his throat and said, “Sorry, am 1 interrupting your breakfast?”

He was just being polite, not expecting Gabriel to respond, “Then don’t call with trivial matters again.”

Dylan, feeling a bit awkward, thought Gabriel seemed a bit upset. Was there some misunderstanding?

Dylan explained, “Sorry, I wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t important. Someone named Xander came to the hospital with some police officers. He wants to check the hospital’s surveillance footage because his father is missing. The last footage shows his father disappearing near Prover Hospital. I found it a

bit strange.

That was why he had called Gina.

“Xander?” Gina asked.

It was Wendy’s brother.

Gina was thoughtful. She had run into Xander at the police station entrance a few days ago.

“Have they checked the footage?” Gina asked.

“Xander and the officers are in the surveillance room now,” Dylan said.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll come over and take a look soon,” Gina said.

“Okay, I won’t disturb you further.” Dylan hung up, being considerate.

“Rest here, I’ll handle it for you,” Gabriel said thoughtfully. He didn’t want Gina to exert herself while she was unwell. He could take care of it

Gina shook her head and said, “It’s my hospital, so it’s better if I go personally.”

“Okay, I’ll go with you, Gabriel insisted.

Chapter 405

When they arrived at Prover Hospital, Gabriel and Gina went straight to the surveillance room.

Standing in front of the surveillance monitor, reviewing the footage, Xander heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Gina and got a bit emotional “Miss Miller.”

In the two days since Gina had last seen him, Xander had transformed from a spirited, vibrant man to someone radiating exhaustion and despair. His eyes were tired with sleeplessness, his beard unkempt, and his gaze lifeless, brightening only upon seeing Gina.

Xander approached Gina excitedly but hesitated, noticing Gabriel’s sharp gaze.
