Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2926

Sylvia nodded. “Alright.”

“Go get some sleep,” Georgia said, giving her shoulder a light pat before turning and disappearing into her room.

Gabriel returned to his own room. After a shower, he stepped out onto the balcony for a cigarette. His phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the screen, his dark eyes grew even more shadowed beneath the night sky.

He answered, “Hello.”

“It’s Eugene.”

“I know.”

Eugene’s voice was warm. “I’m sorry for disturbing you so late, Mr. Carnes. I was the one who asked Sylvia to help today. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Gabriel’s tone was neutral, giving nothing away. “Since the two of you have already broken up, you really shouldn’t be involved in each other’s lives anymore.”

Eugene sounded even more apologetic. “Please don’t take it the wrong way, Mr. Carnes. Sylvia should have explained—she was with me simply because she felt indebted, that’s all.”

“What kind of debt?” Gabriel asked.

Eugene explained how Sylvia had suddenly fallen seriously ill at home, and how, at the hospital, he had taken responsibility, signing paperwork and staying with her through the night.

Gabriel’s grip tightened on his phone, his voice rough in the darkness. “If Sylvia owes you anything, I’ll settle it for her.”

Eugene quickly responded, “I never expected Sylvia to repay me. I’ve always considered her a genuine friend.”

Gabriel’s voice turned cold. “If you see her as a friend, then stop dragging her into the Winters family drama. When your mother spoke to her so harshly, you should know it took all of my self-control not to retaliate.”

Eugene replied with guilt, “Thank you, Mr. Carnes. I understand what you’re saying. From now on, I won't bother Sylvia with any more Winters family matters.”

As someone who cared deeply for Sylvia, Gabriel naturally felt jealousy and anger over her connection to Eugene. Yet he remained rational, choosing not to interfere directly with the Winters family’s affairs—a gesture that earned Eugene’s sincere respect.

“Thank you for taking care of her before,” Gabriel said.
