Freya didn't expect that Xiaolan's situation had become so serious.

No wonder Gabriel had been arguing with her frequently recently. With Xiaolan's attitude of seeing everyone as a love rival and her terrifying tendency to hurt herself at any moment, no man could accept it.

Therefore, Gabriel chose to avoid the situation.

But this had only worsened Xiaolan's condition, making her feel even more insecure and leading to her current crazy state of mind.

If this were allowed to continue, I'm afraid Xiaolan's mental state would completely deteriorate!

Freya knew that she couldn't continue the conversation. When Xiaolan was about to stab herself with the needle again, she took out the silver needles she carried with her and quickly inserted them into Xiaolan's acupoints.

Gradually, Xiaolan calmed down.

She just stared blankly at the ceiling with no glimmer of light in her eyes.

Freya called the nurses and asked them to give Xiaolan an injection to help her sleep well.

Then she went to Xu Yan's office to personally inquire about all aspects of Xiaolan's condition.

Meanwhile.

Lan Xiaoling left the infirmary in tears, and Gabriel, who was chasing after her quickly, caught up.

Just as Lan Xiaoling was about to run a red light, Gabriel grabbed her hand a step ahead.

"Xiaoling, don't be too emotional. Your sister isn't in a normal state of mind. Don't take what she said to heart."

Lan Xiaoling was in floods of tears. If the person who had humiliated her today wasn't her sister but someone else, she might not have been so upset.

But how could she not feel the fierce tone and the hatred in her sister's words?

She knew that her sister was ill and in a bad mood, but if her sister didn't have such thoughts in her heart, how could she have said those things?

So, her presence had become a burden to her sister.

"Young Master Lu, I think I should move out."

Lan Xiaoling knew that she couldn't stay any longer. If this continued, her sister would dislike her even more, which was something she didn't want to see.

She had depended on her sister since childhood. It was her sister who had sacrificed herself to make Lan Xiaoling who she was today. Without her sister, she might have died in some corner.

She had always hoped that her sister would be happy and find a man who loved and cherished her. But now that such a man had appeared, there was a rift in their sisterly relationship.

Lan Xiaoling didn't know why things had turned out like this.

She looked at Gabriel, her fingers curling together, and her eyes gradually filling with tears.

She had been too greedy and had shamelessly fallen in love with Gabriel.

Her sister must have noticed something, otherwise, she wouldn't have been constantly urging her to find a partner and get married quickly to stay away from Gabriel.

And she hadn't noticed her sister's thoughts. Instead, she had used the excuse of wanting to stay by her sister's side, which had made her sister misunderstand her even more.

Lan Xiaoling knew she was wrong.

She had been terribly wrong.

She was just the aunt of Yuanbao and Yuanman. What right did she have to stay by their side for the rest of her life?

So, no matter what, she had to leave.

"Move out? Where will you live?" Gabriel's emotions were a bit out of control. He grabbed Lan Xiaoling's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "Freya has already come. She will cure your sister's illness. Your sister's mental state is a bit off right now, and anyone in front of her is seen as an imaginary enemy.

Xiaoling, don't take your sister's words to heart. After all, she is your sister. Your blood is thicker than water, and your family bond can't be broken."

When Xu Yan had explained the root of the problem earlier, Gabriel had left his office and returned to the villa, intending to ask Lan Xiaoling to leave.

But when he stepped into the house, Yuanbao had a fever. He watched the child helplessly calling for his aunt, and Lan Xiaoling was busy wiping the child's body to reduce the fever.

Lan Xiaoling held Yuanbao tightly and said that she would never leave him, and the two even hooked their little fingers.

At that moment, Gabriel's heart was touched, and he couldn't bring himself to say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Lan Xiaoling was not at fault.

How could he drive her out because of Xiaolan?

So, in the end, he had let Lan Xiaoling stay.

But he never expected that Xiaolan would quarrel with him several times because of Lan Xiaoling and even question him about whether he liked Lan Xiaoling.

Gabriel thought it was ridiculous. He had given up everything to stay by her side, yet she still doubted his determination to take care of her.

Gabriel was unwilling in his heart.

Even though he had made mistakes in the past, he had been trying his best to make up for them. He had even asked Xu Yan to hypnotize him to restore his memories, but the forgotten memories were fragmented and couldn't be pieced together.

He didn't know why this was the case.

Perhaps he truly wanted to forget, or perhaps he simply didn't want to remember.

He also wanted to know what had happened that year.

If he had hurt Xiaolan, as a man, he would surely take on the responsibility.

But Lan Xiaoling shouldn't be the victim among the three of them.

"My sister is in a bad mood right now, and a big part of the reason is that we've been too close. Young Master Lu, don't worry. The world is so big, and there will always be a place for me. I just want my sister to be well."

Lan Xiaoling dried her tears and smiled.

Gabriel was stunned for a moment. The girl in front of him had tears at the corners of her eyes, and her wet eyelashes made her look like a wronged child, which was truly endearing.

But her smile was so healing that Gabriel quickly felt a sense of guilt. He shouldn't have had any improper thoughts about her.

He quickly let go of his hand, and his worried and pained expression quickly turned cold.

After a while, he said, "The innocent will prove their innocence. You don't need to care about other people's feelings. I will soothe your sister."

"But..."

She was about to say something more, but Gabriel interrupted her. "Think about Yuanbao and Yuanman. They need you."

The words that Lan Xiaoling wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

That's right!

The children needed her.

If she left, what would happen to Yuanbao, and what about Yuanman?

Perhaps Yuanman would forget her in a few days, but Yuanbao was different.

She had raised this child since he was little, and they were already as close as a mother and son. Lan Xiaoling had even thought about not getting married and just raising Yuanbao for the rest of her life, hoping that the child could receive all her love and grow up healthy and safe.

But now, she was at a loss.

"The children miss you. Go back."

Gabriel's voice was a bit colder.

Lan Xiaoling nodded and turned towards the direction of the villa. Gabriel watched her walk away and then returned to the infirmary.

What he didn't know was that as soon as Lan Xiaoling got back, after playing with the children for a while, she locked herself in her room and started packing her things.

She knew that she couldn't solve the problem if she didn't leave.

Her sister's hostility towards her had taken root.

She couldn't use the children as an excuse to stay.

The children were her sister's. Even though she had raised them, they were still the result of her sister's ten months of hard pregnancy.

After packing her luggage, Lan Xiaoling went to say goodbye to the children.

The two children were playing with Lego in the children's room. When they saw her, they were very excited. "Auntie, auntie, come and play with us."
