<h4>Chapter 259 - Letter</h4>


    The next time that Gabriel woke up, he was already in a clean room with white sheets and..." Hospital?" he squinted at the blinds a few feet away to his left. The smell of disinfectant was enough to make him conclude that he was indeed in a hospital.


    "No," the voice of the woman made him freeze. He looked at the woman calmly sitting on the couch on his left.


    "Who— Who are— Be? Be Qin?"


    "Be Mo. Hi, Gabriel how are you?" Be stood and walked towards Gabriel’s bed.


    "I— " That’s when Gabriel noticed his aching head. "I— What happened?"


    "Try to remember," Be said as she watched Gabriel held his temples. Creases started to appear on the man’s forehead.


    "I— We were at the bar and— " Gabriel slowly opened his eyes when he realized that he actually couldn’t remember anything else aside from having a headache! That’s right, he had a headache while drinking with his friends and that was it! He immediately stared at Be. "Did something happen? Did someone drugged me?" Of course, he immediately concluded that someone was involved in this matter. For a few seconds, his gaze turned suspicious at Be but then he quickly realized that he actually never offended Be. Not when he was still Sarah’s boyfriend or now that Be was already back in the City.


    Gabriel actually never personally met with Be before however, he had seen images of her and heard all about her from Sarah. Moreover, he also had seen an image of Be in one of the news a few days ago. It was something about the Mayor kicking her out of the family for divorcing her husband. "You— Do you know what happened?" He immediately turned rmed when he recalled Be’s words about this not being the hospital.


    "Gabriel, calm down," Be uttered. "I mean no harm. If I wanted to harm you, I could do it while you were sleeping." Be gave a sincere smile. Thisdies and gents was the male lead. She needed to be extra careful and nice.


    "Are you saying that you saved me?"


    "See for yourself." Be didn’t hesitate to give him her phone and yed the CCTV that she got from Mo Li. It was a video of Gabriel being so drunk that he was escorted out of the club by none other than Mr. Son and the woman who liked her. Then the next video was taken outside of the bar where the woman and Mr. Son put him in the front seat of the woman’s car. Then the third video was that of the woman driving towards a known hotel.


    Gabriel’s eyes widened when he saw himself bring escorted by two bulky men towards the hotel. They were followed by the woman.


    "You— What is— What is going on?"


    "When my people arrived, she already started taking off your clothes. They immediately knew that you were drugged so we had to set up this ce for you. This is not the hospital but a private clinic of my husband’s friend."


    Gabriel turned silent as his hands started shaking. Son actually drugged him and tried to make him sleep with their friend? Clearly, Gab knew that the woman named Zhan Chin liked him since they were still in college but he had avoided her. He didn’t want to hurt the woman’s feelings by rejecting her. Of course, Zhan Chin was aware that he only has one woman in his eyes and that was Sarah.


    He had trusted both Mr. Son and Zhan Chin as they have been friends for a long time. However, those two people...


    "Swipe one more time," Be’s voice interrupted his stupor. He immediately swiped and saw that on the fourth video Mr. Son was meeting with Daniel Rogers. His face immediately darkened. Does this mean that ... that his friend betrayed him for Daniel?


    "Daniel Rogers promised him an investment. The deal was sealed a few days ago. You can easily check it out. I am sure you have the qualifications and means to do so." Be smiled.


    "Why— Why are you doing this? You don’t know me. Why did you save me?" Of course, Gabriel was not dumb. He immediately suspected that Be was trying to manipte him into doing something. How could she just save him out of nowhere? He stared at the woman’s sparkling eyes wondering what was her goal all along. "Don’t get me wrong. I am very grateful that you saved me. However, there is no such thing as free in this world. I just... I just wanted to know what you want in return."


    "Would you believe me if I say, nothing?"


    "No."


    "..." So direct. Be maintained her calm expression as she added. "I just... I just thought that you could help me save Sarah." As expected, Gabriel’s face immediately darkened when he heard her name.


    "Save her? Why the hell would I save her?" Sarah abandoned him! She chose that man and the Qin Family over him! Why would he save someone like that?


    "You— " Be sigh inwardly. As expected, the male lead really hated the female lead. "You seem to hate Sarah? May I know why?"


    "You didn’t know?" Gabriel sneered but soon realized that he was projecting his anger towards someone who was also a victim of the Qin Family’s greed. He immediately closed his eyes, his hand balled into tight fists as he calmed his raging heart. "I’m sorry. I just... "


    "It’s fine. I just... I am confused, why do you would hate her."


    A sigh escaped Gabriel’s lips when he thought about the past. Years already passed, however, everything was still so clear in his mind. "I received a letter with her handwriting telling me to leave her alone because... I am just a nobody." That wasn’t her exact words but saying it to Be would only hurt him more. "She mentioned Daniel’s achievement and the benefits that he could bring to the whole Qin Family. Then she wished me luck and left the country."


    "You— Please don’t tell me you tried to talk to her in person," Be said as she fought the urge to roll her eyes. A letter? Really?
