What did he hear? This woman was really fond of Gabriel Baker. It turned out that all her pain was due to Gabriel?
She was even calling Gabriel’s name in her dreams!
When Ruben Knight realized the fact, his chest suddenly filled with an unknown fire.
He felt that the name sounded ear-piercing in his ear.
Thinking of that, Ruben pushed her away indifferently. Watching her head hit the car window, he snorted coldly.
She deserved it.
Samantha Powell moaned softly. She clutched her red and swollen forehead. She was still in the state of unconsciousness.
It was normal that she did not know about the extreme anger of the man.
There was only one person in her mind when she was in a coma and the person was Ruben.
He was the man who had run through ten years of her life. He hurt her, tortured her and abandoned her.
He let her suffer so much but the saddest thing was that all her joy was also coming from him.
When she was at the age of fifteen, the shocking glance made him an indelible trace in her heart.
She kept running to get close to him but there was a sea of burning fire all around.
He was leaving with Peyton Moore by placing his hand on her waist. He was walking further and further with an indifferent and terrifying expression on his face.
When the fire sea was about to swallow her, she saw Gabriel descending from the sky.
She cried and begged him to save her!
Without Gabriel, she would have been converted to ashes long time ago.
Samantha only felt that she was in the two states of ice and fire. She was shaking all over in the cold and also the heat made her suffer badly.
She felt that she almost unable to hold it anymore.
But suddenly, an unknown warm easily dissipated the pain from all over her body.
At night.
Ruben stood by the bed in home clothes and looked at the woman on the bed. Her sleeves were rolled up and that ugly skin was revealing again.
He didn't want to care about her. It was his kindness for not letting her go and sleep in the store room but he had that damn compassion again. So, he called his family doctor to come over and take a look on her.
Gabriel’s woman, what did it matter to him?
He stepped forward and looked at her carefully.
Why did he feel that the wound on her wrist looked so familiar?
However, he couldn't remember where he had seen it at that particular moment.
She got a flower tattoo. Was she trying to conceal something?
Ruben slowly sat on the bed. He wanted to look at her scars up close.
At that moment, the woman on the bed sat up from the bed of a sudden and panted heavily with her mouth open.
Ruben was taken aback. He raised his eyes slightly, “Awake?”
Samantha hadn't recovered her consciousness and she almost being scared and laid down again when she saw the up close handsome face at her front.
“Why are you here?” Her mind was still blurred after sleeping for such a long time and so she questioned him first just as she woke up.
Ruben, who was questioned by her looked like in a bad mood. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line and his eyes looked very cold, “If it is not me, who do you think it will be?”
For a moment, he felt that he was nosy, he should not care about whether Samantha was alive or dead. He should just throw her to the hospital!
Samantha was pressing her chest with her hand. When she was sober, she looked at her surrounding environment. She was stunned.
He brought her back to the Knight’s house.
Ruben spit out a few words coldly and continued to question her aggressively, “How? Were you disappoint? It's not the Gabriel who you are thinking of so you are sad? Huh?”
What did her attitude mean? What did she mean that why was it he?
Who else could it be if it wasn't him? Or, who did she wish to see?
Gabriel?
Samantha made things clear finally. She put her hand on her forehead and said weakly, “I don't know what you are talking about. No matter who I am thinking, does this have anything to do with Mr. Knight?”
She might have caught a cold so Ruben took her to the doctor.
But even if Ruben saved her, what did he mean by asking her on that?
The corners of Ruben’s lips were tight and he became more furious, “You are in the Knight’s house now. There is no Gabriel here you want to see. He is such a good man, you can go find him!”
Samantha headache was so severe that her voice became hoarse. However, she didn't want to be defeated so she replied, “Mr. Knight don’t have to tell me, I know Gabriel is excellent.”
Her fingers clenched the bedding tightly and the coolness spread a little bit in her heart.
