Bonnie had no idea what had really happened between Gabrielle and those two people in the forest. So, she didn't say anything more.
What they had to do now was to wait for the investigation results first.
If Rose and Doctor Maniac were judged to be really dangerous, she would persuade Gabrielle not to let them stay by her side any longer.
She knew that Rose and Doctor Maniac needed to be in some place safe, but it didn't have to be Antawood where Gabrielle was. Of course, she would offer some help since the Campbell Family had a lot of oversea branches. They could easily find a place for Rose and Doctor Maniac to hide for a while.
Anyway, she would wait to suggest and persuade until the results came out.
"Let's wait for the results. After all, they have helped Gabrielle. I believe in Gabrielle's judgment. They shouldn't be bad people despite how it looks like." Westley spoke as he held Gabrielle in his arms.
"Humans are complicated beings. We will have to observe for some time. They might have done bad things before, but they really seem to consider Gabrielle as their friends." Remy also agreed with Westley's statement and was willing to believe that Rose and Doctor Maniac did not have bad characters.
After all, he had interacted with Doctor Maniac for days. From what he learned about him in professional perspective, he seemed to be a nice person.
Thus, his judgment about Doctor Maniac wasn't so bad.
As for Rose, although he hadn't talked to her yet, he thought she should be also good. After all, she saved Gabrielle while risking her life.
In this world, that kind of person was so rare.
"Well, I agree with Remy. Everyone can be both good and bad. Just look at us, everyone thinks the Campbell Family is terrifying, but there are some members who are gentle and considerate towards family and friends, just like me." Bonnie made herself as an example as she explained.
In this world, everyone lived with masks on.
There was no one who was perfect and flawless. Human beings who had emotions were complicated. Everyone was different, and even the most evil people had some good in them despite them accepting to hold onto it or not.
"Right. It's up to Gabrielle to decide. They are her friends nonetheless," Wilson said as he also agreed with Bonnie.
He was also aware about the nature of the people.
They themselves were the best examples. They never tried to explain or refute about the rumors and scandals they were being entitled upon. They never bothered to show up in public in order to clean their name.
Because the Campbell Family already didn't have a good public reputation. There was no use changing it.
They didn't need to explain to the public because they knew well who they really were and that was what mattered.
"Bonnie, Wilson, I know you care about me and I am so grateful for it. We should talk about it after the investigation results come out. By then, you will see that they won't hurt me. We are friends," Gabrielle firmly said with a determined expression on her face. It was obvious that she trusted them very much.
She also knew that Bonnie and Wilson were saying these words for the sake of herself.
"Alright. Gabrielle has her own judgment and I believe in it. Moreover, Westley will always be there to protect her, so we have nothing to worry about." Bonnie had said what she should say as Gabrielle's sister-in-law. She was aware that she shouldn't meddle too much in it.
