From Secret Wife to Queen of Her World by Anonymous

Chapter 94

The grace of saving lives, repaid with a gushing spring.

If she had known the truth at the time, she would have been extremely grateful to Gianna.

But now she only feels ironic.

There is no doubt that Gabriel loved his two sons.

As long as he thought about it, he could agree to three things to save Joshua for Gianna, but he was always cold

and indifferent to his wife who was on the verge of life and death in the delivery room, giving birth to twins for

him.

Hazel felt her past self was so pathetic.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Gabriel's heart clenched, and he quickly reached out to wipe them away,

accompanied by a barely noticeable panic in his voice.

“Hazel, I'm sorry, please don’t cry...”

She avoided Gabriel's hand, stubbornly raised her head, and refused to let the tears fall.

“What about me?”

Hazel gritted her teeth and asked him,“Gabriel, what about me?”

“You only saw her desperate rescue effort, but what about the four hours | was on life and death when giving

birth?”

“Those five years, you were clearly my husband...”

The held back tears eventually slid down.

She turned her face away, unwilling to show weakness in front of him, but her choked voice carried the pain that

had accumulated over the years.

“You fulfilled the three things you promised her, so what about the things you promised me?

Every word turned into a sword, fiercely piercing into Gabriel's body.

He couldn’t even remember to grab the tissues on the coffee table, and in his desperation, he frantically wiped

away the unstoppable tears on her face with his fingertips.

Each one was an accusation against his five years, causing his heart to ache and throb painfully.

held Hazel’s face in his hands and said, “I was wrong, terribly wrong.” Gabriel was gradually engulfed by the

guilt-ridden tidal waves surging in his deep, profound eyes, dragging him deeper into the abyss of the sea.

Hazel suddenly broke free from his grasp and pushed him directly.

* Gabriel bumped into the coffee table with his lower back, causing the plate of exquisite pastries on the table to

make a clattering sound, breaking the oppressive atmosphere between the two.

Hazel wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand. She closed her eyes and took

several deep breaths before finally suppressing the uncontrollable urge to cry. She looked at Gabriel and

sneered, “How could the head of the Campbell family, the mighty

family, be wrong?”

Knowing that he helped Gianna because of his son, Hazel’s heart, however, had no joy. The voice of subtle

mockery lingered in Gabriel's ears, but he could only see the sadness in her

eyes.

He didn’t know how things had developed into this way, and his inner expectation of reconciliation was shattered

like a bubble in a fairy tale.

“Do you think that even if you don’t tell me, just based on the fact that | am the child’s mother, | would definitely

appreciate and help her, right?”

Those beautiful eyes were filled with sadness.

“Gabriel, oh Gabriel, | have been married to you for five years, not five days, and you still don’t understand me.”

“I was a mother, not a saint!”

Gabriel's deep gaze never left her.

He lowered his gaze, concealing the gloom in his eyes.

The protection that Hazel thought was self-righteous was

never what she wanted.

But is it also not too late to make up for it now?

He lowered his voice and said, “I'm sorry for the harm those five years caused you.”

and over again, and the suppressed tears of Hazel would resurface. “Gianna saved Joshua, and | am grateful no

Gabriel opened his mouth and then held back.

Since the topic has already been brought up, Hazel decided to be frank with him and address the issues between

the two of them.

“Gabriel, since birth, you stood at the top of the pyramid, enjoying the best resources in the world. Your family

obeyed, servants complied, and there should be no one who would defy your decisions.”

Gabriel remained silent, and indeed, that was the case.

Even his brothers and friends used to call him “brother” when they were young. In the past, his life was too

smooth.

“So even though you were already married, you still preferred to make decisions on your own. “You were

excellent, so excellent that you believed every decision you made was the right one. You felt like you could

achieve the optimal solution in everything.”

Hazel’s words seemed to be praising him, but Gabriel felt increasingly anxious, with a sense of impending loss of

something precious.

“Gabriel, human emotions cannot be erased by simply having the right outcome.”

“If you had toldright at the moment when Gianna saved the child, and discussed it with me, perhaps all

these things wouldn't have happened afterwards.”

Gabriel tightened his grip on her hand and hoarsely said, “Hazel, Gianna was just an insignificant person.”

“The help | gave her was just a repayment.”

Those resources didn’t even give Gabriel a chance to stop.

Hazel shook her head and shifted her focus away from Gianna, instead leaning slightly forward and gazing into

his ink-black eyes with a radiant smile.

“The first t| saw you, | knew you were someone inherently indifferent, but | thought it was okay.”

“After all, you didn’t love me, and | didn’t love

you either.”

The heart felt a dense and throbbing pain, Gabriel wanted to say something, but didn’t know where to start.

“When we just got married, | wanted to live a good life with you. You were cold, so | tried to be a little more

enthusiastic. But afterwards, | probably won't anymore.”

Upon hearing these words, a glimmer of hope arose in Gabriel's ink-black eyes. He never expected to hear her

say that she liked him today!

The flames of joy had not even ignited when Hazel poured a bucket of water on them. extinguishing them

completely.

She seemed to be trapped in past memories.

With slender and delicate fingertips, she gently caressed the handsface of the man, from the deep corners

of his eyes to the straight bridge of his nose, and finally lightly brushed against his cool and thin lips.

Hazel sighed softly and said, “Gabriel, how nice it would have been if | had never fallen for after we got married.”
