When She Stops Playing Nice

Chapter 4 83

When Gina ran to Gabriel, she wanted to hug Gabriel, but Gabriel refused.

Gabriel took a step back in resistance.

Gina was a little surprised. “What's wrong? Are you injured? Will it hurt if | touch you?”

Gabriel shook his head. He just felt that he stank.

Meanwhile, Gina walked up to him looking neat and tidy. He did not want the dirt on his body to contaminate Gina. He didn’t want

to stink her.

However, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He hesitated for a moment and said, “I'm a little dirty now and smelly. I'm

afraid the stench will rub off on you.”

Gina smiled helplessly and said, “It's okay. | don’t mind. | just miss you so much.”

Gabriel was stunned to hear that. He rarely heard Gina express her emotions so bluntly.

At this moment, when he heard her confession of love, he was in a good mood.

Gabriel stretched out his hand. “Then I'll hug you.”

“Yeah.” Gina nodded.

Gabriel hugged Gina tightly. “I missed you too.”

He also wanted to kiss Gina, but he was too dirty, so he had to endure it.

After hugging him for a while, Gina could finally calm down. She let go of Gabriel and said, “You do stink a little.”

Gabriel was silent.

He started to get a little emotional. “Are you disgusted withnow?”

“No, no. Let's go.” Gina felt a little guilty.

“I'm sure you're disgusted with me,” Gabriel emphasized.

“It's not that I'm disgusted with you, it's just that the air on this island is not good.” Gina suddenly began to make things up.

Gabriel looked at Gina's troubled expression and smiled. He was just teasing Gina

Gabriel followed Gina back to the submarine.

There was a bathroom in the submarine

Gabriel showered for almost 40 minutes. After making sure that every strand of his hair was clean and fragrant, he walked out of

the bathroom.

He sat beside Gina.

He approached Gina and asked, “Can we hug now?”

Gina smiled and said, “Alright.”

Gabriel hugged Gina and suddenly hissed.” Gina becnervous. “The wound on your hand.” “I'm fine. I'm really fine. | was just

slashed by a knife, and the wound had already scabbed over. | didn’t expect that there would still be useful herbs. 1 applied them

to the wound. The wound got infected, but it's not very serious. | don’t know why. Could it be that my immune system has been

strengthened?” Gabriel was joking, but when he looked at Gina, he suddenly thought of something. “Is it the effect of the Spirit

Orchid?” He remembered that Gina had given him the precious medicinal herb that she had originally kept as an herb to save

her life. Gina nodded. She was very gratified. “I'm very glad now that | gave you that herb.”

Gabriel could not help but kiss her.

The two of them cuddled for a while before Gina suddenly remembered there was something she had not told Gabriel yet.

“Harry took Ethan to Jackson Group when you weren't around and took away the official seal in the safe. He told Neil that he

only took 120 million dollars from Jackson Group and invested it in the medical project under Ethan's name.

“However, I've found out that there’s a huge problem with the medical project under Ethan's name. Therefore, the 120 million

dollars must not enter their pockets. Otherwise, if anything happens to his project in the future, Harry will take out that

appropriation contract to indicate that Jackson Group has invested in that project. That might affect Jackson Group’s share price

or bring about even more serious consequences.

“By the way, they also injured David because David refused to let them take the official soal”

Gabriel's expression darkened. He had only been gone for a few days, and Harry had already brought Ethan to tyrannize others.

“I'll settle the score with them and get the 120 million dollars back.”

Gina nodded. “Yes.”

She believed that Gabriel would not let Harry and the others have their way.

Now was a rare moment of leisure. Gina still had many questions to ask Gabriel. She wanted to show concern for him. “Tell me

what you've been through these past few days. Telleverything.”

Gabriel said, “Okay.”

“I held the daughter of the leader of Lighthouse hostage. After forcing the leader to testify for you, | was about to leave. However,

too many people caught up to me. When | was dealing with them, | was accidentally slashed.

“Fortunately, | managed to escape unscathed because | ran to the beach. Aheri bandaged my wound, | jumped into the water.

After that, | didn’t s the water for long. Instead, | was lucky enough to encounter a boat. After | sneaked onto the boat, no one

discovered me.

“But | couldn't stay on the boat for too long. Otherwise, my identity would definitely be exposed. At that time, | might be treated as

a dangerous person and controlled. So, | jumped back into the sea.

“After that, | arrived on this island and was discovered by the primitive people. | shook them off and hid in a cave. My luck was

also good. There were quite a lot of fruits on this island, so | didn’t starve to death. I felt that my luck along the way had been

especially good. It should be the good luck you gave me, Gina. You are my Lady Luck.”

Gina was in a daze. After all, half a year ago, she was still considered a jinx by the Miller family.

“Fortunately, you're fine.”

Gina sighed. She had failed to protect her adoptive mother, Ruby. Now, she could not lose Gabriel too.

Two days later, in Norwood.

Ethan was playing cards with a few friends at hwhen Harry called

When Ethan saw that it was a call from his respected uncle, Harry, his expression becmuch more serious. He immediately

removed the cigarette from his mouth and signaled his friends to be quiet.

when Ethan picked up the call, he was extremely polite. “Harry, what's wrong? What's the matter?”

“Gabriel is back,” Harry said.

Ethan was a little surprised. He thought, “Isn't Gabriel missing?”

However, Ethan felt that the probability of Gabriel dying in an accident was extremely small because Gabriel was a really tough

quy.

Gabriel had been involved in many accidents since he was young. There were situations where he was injured but not on the

verge of death. Moreover, he had also gone missing and could not be contacted a few years ago.

Gabriel disappeared for an entire year when he was 23 years old. His whereabouts were unknown either.

However, Ethan did not expect Gabriel to suddenly return unscathed. This time, Gabriel returned so soon, which surprised Ethan

a little.

he’s back.” Ethan was uninterested and calm.

He thought, ‘If Gabriel is back, so be it. What else can he do? Do | have to go and welcGabriel? That is impossible. I'll never

do that.”
