After her reply, Sylvia immediately asked, “What about Kant?”
Sean smiled. “Don’t worry, he’s already hsafe. His family seems to be struggling; his grandfather is sick and they can’t afford
to take him to the hospital. My men left them a sum of money to make up for the scare. We also told him you two are fine and that
it was all just a misunderstanding.”
Sylvia nodded. “Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. We didn’t know each other well before, but | have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of each other from now on,”

“Stop running your mouth and get going,” Gabriel snapped.
Sean shrugged at Sylvia, then signaled for his men to head down the mountain. As he was leaving, he turned back to her. “This
really had nothing to do with Gab. It was all me. Please don’t be mad at him.”
Sylvia managed a small smile. “I won't. It was just a joke, right?”
Sean gave her a thumbs-up. He caught Gabriel's cold glare and quickly made his exit.
In an instant, the cabin, which had been filled with tension and the threat of violence, returned to its quiet, empty state. Only the
fire in the center still crackled, the burning branches popping softly.
Gabriel sat across from Sylvia and handed her a bottle of water. “Did that scare you?”
Sylvia shook her head lightly, a faint smile on her lips. “Everyone's safe. That's what matters, isn't it?”
Gabriel watched her, his voice softer than usual. “On behalf of Sean, | apologize. And if you have any questions, you can ask me
anything.”
Perhaps because the emotional roller coaster had been so intense, Sylvia's mind felt numb now that it hade to a sudden stop.
“I don’t have any questions,” she said quietly. “| understand. We should head down the mountain. It's getting late, and Grace must
be worried. She called earlier.”
Gabriel studied her for a few moments before nodding. “Alright. Let's go.”
They stood, extinguished the fire, and tidied up the cabin before grabbing their things and leaving.
