In the hospital room, Edith listened to Gabe's words, unable to hold back her tears.
"Gabe, I always knew. I always knew you weren't a fickle person."
Gabe tightly held Edith's hand and said, "Edith, I'm dying. Can you answer my last question?"
Edith nodded. "Of course."
"Elijah... Is he my child?" Gabe struggled to say, his breath fragile.
Edith was stunned.
Suddenly, Gabe smiled, "Thank you for telling me the answer. I have no regrets now."
"Gabe, Gabe..."
Edith's cries echoed throughout the Hansen Manor...
Gabe's funeral was kept low-key.
But no matter how discreet, the reputation of the Hansen family was high, and the whole of Beilve City soon knew.
Some believed it was the Price family's revenge.
Others thought it was a well-deserved punishment for him abandoning his first wife in his old age.
Rumors reached Gideon's ears, making him so furious that he stayed in bed and did not attend Gabe's funeral.
After all, it was a family tragedy, and he could hardly bear it.
Elijah took charge of Gabe's funeral.
Although he was in charge, it was mostly Cordelia who was busy with all the arrangements.
His condition was poor, and he had been smoking and sitting up all night, looking very dejected.
Even someone as resourceful as Edith was reduced to tears.
She realized too late that her ex-husband had planned for his affairs after his death, even leaving all his personal assets to her in his will.
