    115 The Consequences of Betrayal


    In the Smirnoffs‘ family living room, tension crackled in the air. Gable, the usuallyposed medical


    practitioner, paced restlessly, a scalpel twirling in his fingers. The family watched in stunned silence,


    aware that this was no ordinary disy of frustration.


    “What on earth are you nning with that, Gab?” Emma, his sister, questioned cautiously, eyeing the


    scalpel warily. Her voice was tinged with concern and confusion.


    Gable stopped, his gaze intense. “What if I just undid everything? Alex’s legs, Lillian’s arm… I fixed


    them once, I can unfix them.”


    The room fell into a deeper silence. Emma sighed heavily, “Gab, I’ve cut ties with them. Your actions…


    they won’t change the past.‘


    Gable’s face hardened. “They wronged you, Emma. I can’t just stand by. If not for you, I would have


    never saved them in the first ce.”


    Emma, torn between her desire for peace and Gable’s anger, tried to reason with him. “Revenge isn’t


    the answer. This won’t bring any peace.”


    But Gable was resolute, anger burning in his eyes. “They need to face consequences for their actions.


    They took advantage of your kindness, Emma. I won’t let them get away with it.”


    As Gable stormed out, Wayne, the family patriarch, tried to intervene, his grip firm on Gable’s arm. This


    isn’t you, Gable. Think of the consequences.”


    Gable shook off his hand. “I’ve thought about it, and I’ve decided. They must pay for what they’ve


    done to Emma.”


    In the heat of the moment, Alex’s call came through. Gable’s voice was icy as he answered, “Save your


    gratitude, Alex. If you truly want to thank me, return what I’ve given. I regret ever helping you.”


    Alex, on the other end, struggled to process Gable’s words. “Gable, surely there’s been some


    misunderstanding…”


    “There’s no misunderstanding,” Gable snapped. “You and Emma are done. And since you mistreated

    her, don’t expect any mercy from me. You have a day to give me an answer.”


    Hanging up, Gable left the house, his family’s pleas fading behind him.


    Wayne sighed, turning to Emma. “We can’t support this, but we can’t stop him either. He’s too far


    gone.”


    Emma, her face a mixture of sadness and resignation, nodded. “I know. Gable’s always been


    protective. But this… this is too much.”


    The Smirnoff family could only hope that Gable’s rage wouldn’t lead to irreparable damage. But deep


    down, they knew their hope was thin. Gable, once a healer, had turned into an avenger, and there was


    no telling how far he would go to right the wrongs done to his sister.
