    Chapter 56


    asmine was a little nervous. Without thinking, she ran forward, nearly getting hit by the car.


    she was shocked. She quickly took a few steps back. Then, Gabriel got out of the car with a


    displeased expression.


    The instant the car door closed, Jasmine seemed to see a woman in the car.


    She thought. Who is she?


    asmine didn’t have time to dwell on this matter. She looked up at the gloomy Gabriel and said,


    “Gabriel, I’m fine. Don’t vorry about me”


    Gabriel asked in return with a cold expression, “Eyes not on the road, huh?”


    asmine felt awkward. I’m sorry, Gabriel, she said.


    By the way, is Neil alright?” she continued. “I really didn’t mean it. I didn’t expect that the nourishing


    tonic would cause problems. I just wanted Neil to recover as soon as possible.”


    “He’s out of danger, Gabriel said indifferently.


    “Also, don’t address me so affectionately,” Gabriel added.


    Jasmine was left speechless. She felt like her heart was about to be broken by Gabriel’s coldness.


    She thought, Gabriel isn’t much older than me. Plus, he’s young and handsome, so it’s only natural


    that I address him affectionately.


    Jasmine said aggrievedly. “But I’ve already gotten used to that. Gabriel, can you take me to the


    hospital to visit Neil someday? My family and I are very worried about Neil. Prover Hospital has an


    unreasonable rule that outsiders can’t just enter, which is why I haven’t gone to visit Neil


    She cursed inwardly, ‘I don’t know what kind of rubbish rule this lousy hospital has set. It’s just a


    hospital, so why do they act all high and mighty?”


    Gina sat in the car, ying the role of a bystander.


    Hearing Jasmineining about Prover Hospital, she-smiled indifferently. The reason Prover


    Hospital had such a rule was that people who were admitted to the hospital for either treatment or


    hospitalization were all important figures, inevitably attracting people who wanted to take the


    opportunity to curry favor with them.


    Hospitals were meant for treatment and recuperation. Theing and going of too many people


    who were not directly associated with the hospital’s activities or patients would disrupt the hospital’s


    order. This was why the rule was set at the beginning of the hospital’s construction.


    “I don’t have time, Gabriel said coldly, rejecting without hesitation.


    Jasmine felt a little awkward. “Then I’ll wait until Neil is discharged from the hospital before visiting,”


    she said.


    Gabriel did not reply. Hisck of response conveyed an obvious message. That message was


    Jasmine should leave now. Jasmine was unwilling to leave just like that. She thought, ‘I still don’t


    know who the woman in the car is


    She bit the bullet and asked, “Gabriel, who’s the person sitting in your car? You’ve mentioned


    before that you don’t like having outsiders in your car, so is she à rtive?”


    Previously, she visited the Jackson family’s home and wanted Gabriel to send her home, but


    Gabriel refused, saying that he did not like having outsiders in his car.

    The Rolls Royce’s car door opened, and Jasmine’s attention immediately shifted to the door, staring


    at it without blinking. When she saw Gina, she clenched her fists hard.


    She thought. Why? It’s this b i t c h again!”


    “She’s not an outsider. Gabriel said.


    His voice snapped Jasmine back to reality. She was stunned, thinking, ‘What did Gabriel mean?”


    She seemed to be consoling herself as she said, “I know her. That’s Miss Miller. She’s Gina, the


    sister of Ethan’s fiancée. Indeed, she is not considered an outsider.”


    “She is not considered an outsider practically came out of Jasmine’s mouth through gritted teeth.


    She thought, ‘If it weren’t for Gabriel here, there’s no way I could have addressed this country


    bumpkin as Miss Miller.


    What Gabriel meant was obviously not what Jasmine interpreted. It was just that Gabriel couldn’t be


    bothered to exin so much to Jasmine, who was the real outsider.


    “I heard that Ethan’s fiancee was supposed to be Gina initially, though, Jasmine said. “But Ethan


    seems only to have eyes for Olivia Miss Miller doesn’t seem to be pleased about this and wants to


    compete with her sister for Ethan, right?”


    Jasmine spoke as if Gina was a homewrecker who wanted to steal her own sister’s man, and she


    appeared worried that Gabriel would not know about this, so she blurted out all at once.


    Another angelic bitc h, Gina thought.


    Feeling a little helpless, she said, “I also heard that you dragged Olivia into thedies’ room and


    beat her till her right hand fractured”


    Jasmine’s face turned pale, not expecting that Gina would bring up this ident in front of Gabriel.


    She thought, “Bitc h! By stirring up trouble like this, she’ll make Gabriel think I’m a terrible girl!’


    “I didn’t,” Jasmine exined anxiously. “I didn’t break her right hand.”


    “But I heard Olivia say that with my own ears, Gina insisted.


    “She lied!” Jasmine said angrily. “How can you only listen to her side of the story?”


    “Oh?” Gina said, elongating the pronunciation of the word meaningfully. Then, she continued, “So,


    Miss Bush, you also know that a one-sided story can’t be trusted. From whom did you hear that I


    wanted to s n t Ethan away then? If a im isn’t backed by evidence, that’s fabricating stories. Miss


    Bush, why did you fabricate a story about me?”


    “I…” Jasmine’s eyes widened. She felt like she couldn’t wrap her head around things just now and


    was led by Gina into saying things she didn’t intend to say. She was both angry and anxious.


    “Apologize to Gina, Gabriel said to Jasmine with a cold expression.


    Hearing Gabriel address Gina so intimately, Jasmine felt like the world wasing to an end.


    Her eyes were teary as she looked at Gabriel. She tried to use her pitiful appearance to exchange


    for a trace of pity from


    Gabriel.


    But all she saw in Gabriel’s icy gaze was aloofness and indifference.


    She thought, I’ve long known Gabriel. Why did this bit h Ginae out on top?


    Jasmine apologized to Gina unwillingly, saying, “I’m sorry, Miss Miller. Those words are just


    hearsay. I shouldn’t have said those words to fabricate a story about you. Please forgive me and


    don’t hold it against me.”


    Chapter 56


    Gina replied indifferently, “Okay.”


    She then nced at Gabriel and said, “Do you two have anything else to discuss? Shall I excuse


    myself?”


    Without waiting for Jasmine to speak, Gabriel said firmly, “There’s nothing to talk about.”


    Then, he said to Jasmine, “You can leave.”


    Jasmine thought. ‘Gabriel actually chased me out for this b i c h’s sake!


    She was heartbroken and couldn’t say a word. She ran back to the Ferrari in tears.


    A short whileter, the Ferrari zoomed off.


    Gina nced over and said to Gabriel. “She seems to be crying quite sadly


    Gabriel replied. “Huh?”


    He did not know why Gina’s focus was on this.


    “Do you want to considerforting Jasmine, Gabriel?” Gina said, making the unusual choice of


    speaking in a teasing and


    affectionate tone.


    Gabriel was stunned. “You call me affectionately?” he said.


    Gina suddenly realized that calling Gabriel that way seemed too intimate. She cleared her throat,


    turned away from Gabriel’s intense gaze, and said, “What’s wrong? Can I not call you that way?”


    “Not at all,” Gabriel said. “I actually like it. Can you say it a few more times, Gina?”


    C i n a suddenly felt that Gabriel was being unexpectedly bold.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
