Chapter 200 Angela Moreno's Gift

Gabriel Edwards stayed with Zoe Evans all the time, not leaving her side except for restroom breaks. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Zoe Evans said to Gabriel, "Gabriel, why don't you visit your club? Thomas Taylor and the woman you've been thinking about don't even know you're back."

"I don't care about them. I'll stay with you these days," Gabriel Edwards responded firmly, still staying by Zoe Evans's side.

Thomas Taylor and Stella Turner were simply not as important as Zoe.

Seeing this, Zoe appeared somewhat helpless and chose not to speak further.

The next afternoon, Blind John wandered off somewhere, and Christopher Evans returned to Stellar Estate.

In the ward, only Gabriel and Zoe remained.

Zoe continued to flip through her physics book, while Gabriel sat there, bored and restless, shaking his leg.

"Creak!" At that moment, someone pushed the door open.

A person dressed in casual clothes, holding a cloth bag, entered.

Wearing a hat, glasses, and a large mask despite the summer heat.

The whole person was wrapped like a Zongzi.

"Who... are you looking for?" Gabriel asked with a hint of surprise looking the person coming in.

The person then removed the glasses and mask, revealing a delicate face and said with a smile, "Gabriel Edwards, it's me, Angela Moreno!"

How did you come? "Upon closer inspection, it was really Angela, the big star, and Gabriel Edwards was instantly loveless.

He talked about on the phone for a long time yesterday, which was in vain!

"You're not happy to see me?" Angela asked with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Sighing, Gabriel didn't know what to say, and he just responded, "Plane tickets are so expensive, don't bother."

"Alright, Gabriel," Zoe Evans closed her physics book and said with a smile, "Gabriel, get a chair and pour a glass of water."

With Zoe Evans's words, Angela gained confidence and snorted, "You can't drive me away now, can you?"

Gabriel was immediately taken aback.

He obediently fetched a chair and poured a glass of water.

"Thank you!" Angela fetched the water and said with a smile.

Gabriel then sat down by the bed and said with narrowed eyes, "This isn't as private as the 15th floor of the Black Pearl. You're a big star, and your presence might cause a commotion. If the hospital gets surrounded again, other patients will blame us."

Seeing Gabriel's indifferent attitude, Angela felt deeply hurt.

She said emotionally, "You saved me multiple times on the cruise. I just wanted to express my gratitude. I have no ill intentions. Why are you treating me this way?"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and her eyes began to moisten.

"I..." Gabriel Edwards was momentarily at a loss for words.

He scratched his head and said with a wry smile, "Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. I admit I was wrong. Let me treat you to a meal later. How about some spicy hot pot?" This made Angela Moreno laugh.

Being an internet-savvy person, she was familiar with the spicy hot pot meme.

"Sister Angela, I think you must have brought something important for Gabriel this time," Zoe Evans suddenly said.

Angela was genuinely taken aback and asked, "Zoe, how did you know?"

Apart from wanting to see Gabriel Edwards, she indeed had something important to give him.

"You're holding a cloth bag, aren't you? What did you bring for me? Something as precious as gold?" Gabriel joked.

"It's not gold. You'll never guess what it is. It's very precious, even more so than gold!" Angela said with a smug smile, playing coy.

Gabriel became increasingly curious. He shook his head and said, "Alright, open it. I can't believe that such a small thing could be more valuable than gold."

Before Angela could open the bag, Zoe Evans said, "Gabriel, you're wrong this time. What's inside is much more precious than gold, and you'll definitely thank Sister Angela."

"Hmm?" Gabriel was still a bit confused.

Angela looked shocked and pointed to the cloth bag and asked Zoe, "Zoe, do you know what's inside?"

She could be absolutely certain that this matter had not been told to anyone, and no one could know what was inside.

Zoe smiled lightly and whispered, "Inside is the Ice Ganoderma.''

"What? Ice Ganoderma! " Gabriel Edwards was shocked!

He stood up in shock and stared solemnly at the cloth bag in Angel's hand!

The Ice Ganoderma should have fallen on the first floor of the Black Pearl during a fight between Dominick Parker and Kelly Fisher. How could it have fallen into Angela's hands?

Angela opened her mouth slightly, and she was completely dumbfounded.

After a long pause, she finally came to her senses and said in astonishment, "Zoe, I haven't told anyone about this. How did you know I brought the Ice Ganoderma?"

"I guessed it," Zoe Evans replied calmly.

"Guessed?" Angela looked confused, clearly finding it hard to believe.

Zoe then explained, "The key reason I could guess was that you called Gabriel yesterday and mentioned that you had successfully terminated your restrictive contract with the company."

"Those predatory companies, once they get their hands on a cash cow, wouldn't let it go so easily."

"The only possibility for you to break the contract would be to exchange it for something even more precious."

"Other than the Ice Ganoderma that the Garza family desperately wants, I can't think of anything else that would allow you to break the contract with the company."

"So, I deduced that during the chaos on the first floor, you picked up the Ice Ganoderma. After all, others either didn't recognize it or were too busy fleeing to pick up anything. You knew its value and had seen its illustration, so it's not surprising you picked it up."

"Without Alonzo Garza around, you used the Ice Ganoderma to negotiate your freedom with the the Garza family. I assume they were more than happy to make the exchange, and apart from Alonzo Garza, no one else intended to make things difficult for you."

"If I'm not mistaken, after learning that Gabriel urgently needed the Ice Ganoderma, you split the whole plant in half. One half to secure your freedom and the other half as a token of gratitude for Gabriel's repeated rescues."

"So, the cloth bag should contain the remaining half of the Ice Ganoderma."

Hearing Zoe Evans's analysis, Angela Moreno was as shocked as if she'd been struck by lightning.

The covert actions she had taken were described by Zoe as if she had witnessed them firsthand. It was unbelievable.

"Yes, everything Zoe said is correct!"

Angela then opened the cloth bag, and sure enough, it contained half of the Ice Ganoderma.

Gabriel Edwards snatched it, looking at Angela with some anger, "When I saved you from the restroom, you already knew from my conversation with Dominick Parker that I had lost the Ice

Ganoderma. You kept it a secret, which is simply infuriating!"

Back then, Dominick Parker had mentioned the loss of the Ice Ganoderma in front of Angela Moreno.

At that time, Angela already had it, yet she kept it a secret, nearly driving him mad!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt like hitting someone!

Angela lowered her head, looking remorseful, "I'm sorry, Gabriel. I was too selfish. When I found the Ice Ganoderma on the first floor, I was thrilled because I knew Alonzo Garza wanted it. I thought of using it to secure my freedom."

"It was because of my selfish thoughts that I didn't tell you the truth immediately after learning you also needed it urgently."

"Please forgive me. I'll accept any punishment you see fit. I just hope you won't be angry anymore."

She had been tormented by this matter for days.

If not for Gabriel Edwards, she might have already become a plaything for Alonzo or perhaps would have been violated and killed by the pirates!

She felt extremely guilty, so she wanted to return the remaining Ice Ganoderma as soon as possible, hoping for Gabriel's forgiveness...
