Finally, after watering the vegetable garden three times in a row, Mi Luo couldn't stand it anymore. She walked up and snatched the watering can from Lan Xiaoling's hand.
"Stop watering. If you keep going, they'll drown."
Only then did Lan Xiaoling slowly come back to her senses. Looking at the vegetable garden full of water, some newly planted vegetable seedlings were already soaked in the water, and even their roots had been pulled up.
Mi Luo let out a deep sigh and said, "I know it's hard for you to accept this truth, but Xiaoling, Freya told you all this not to make you suffer, but because she wants to see you and Young Master Lu doing well."
"What about my sister?" Lan Xiaoling suddenly asked in a hoarse voice. "Is she just supposed to be the biggest victim?"
Before, her sister had Gabriel to rely on. Although it was a dream, at least there was hope in her heart.
But now, her sister had nothing. The children didn't belong to her sister, and even Gabriel had no relationship with her sister. How could her sister accept this truth?
Since they were young, her sister had taken on the burden of raising her without complaint. She had always told herself that she must repay her sister well in the future.
But what was the result? Her sister had become the most unfortunate person.
Lan Xiaoling would rather she hadn't recovered her memories and that everything was still the same as before. Her departure could have exchanged for her sister's happiness.
"Don't forget, you're also a victim!" Mi Luo reminded her.
Then she saw Lan Xiaoling crying while laughing. "But I hope my sister can be all right."
After her sister knew the truth, she had completely gone crazy. She must be more painful than herself. How could she feel fortunate at this moment and even be with Gabriel?
"Xiaoling, can't you live for yourself just once? It's true that your sister was kind to you in the past, but you've also treated her sincerely all these years. Even during those years when you lost your memory, you were still living for her. Now that she's in this situation, it's just the way fate works. What does it have to do with you?"
Mi Luo knew that what she said was a bit selfish, but she didn't want Lan Xiaoling to keep blaming herself and even give up the great opportunity that Freya had created for her.
As for Gabriel, he originally belonged to Lan Xiaoling.
"Stop it, stop talking," Lan Xiaoling suddenly covered her ears and crouched on the ground in pain.
She was in a very bad mood at the moment and couldn't listen to anything.
Seeing her like this, Mi Luo sighed and didn't say anything more. Instead, she turned around and walked away, leaving her alone to calm down.
However, it turned out that once a person was extremely desperate, it was very difficult to repair their mood.
When Gabriel appeared at the door, what he heard was Lan Xiaoling's hysterical crying.
His heartstrings trembled slightly, and he rushed in without hesitation and hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for my appearance, I wouldn't have brought trouble to you and your sister!"
He reached out and stroked Lan Xiaoling's hair, his heart filled with guilt.
He was the one to blame for the whole thing. If there was any retribution, he was willing to bear it all alone.
Lan Xiaoling hid in his arms and cried even louder, as if she wanted to let out all the grievances of the past few years.
Soon, Gabriel's shirt was soaked with tears.
But he didn't care at all. He just held her tightly, as if he had regained something he had lost and cherished.
However, the next second, Lan Xiaoling suddenly pushed him away with all her strength and shouted at him with a tear-stained face, "I hate you. Go away. Disappear from my sight right now."
That's right! If it weren't for this man, she wouldn't have lost her innocence, and her sister wouldn't have been devastated.
He was the one who had caused the misfortune of their sisters.
Even though she had loved him before, at this moment, there was only hatred in Lan Xiaoling's heart.
"Xiaoling, I..." Gabriel still wanted to get closer to her, but Lan Xiaoling picked up the dirt on the ground and threw it at him.
"Go away. Get out of here. I don't want to see you!"
She shouted hysterically, but her tears couldn't be controlled and still fell continuously.
Gabriel knew that it was too late to say anything now. At this point, he could only give her time to digest everything and meet her again when she had calmed down.
"All right, all right. Don't get excited. I'll leave right away."
Regardless of the dirt on his body, he stepped back while still saying words of comfort.
However, Lan Xiaoling didn't want to hear his voice at all. She tightly and forcefully covered her ears.
It seemed that only in this way could she feel a little better.
Gabriel retreated to the door but didn't leave. He just stood there in the wind, silently guarding her.
Rumble!
A thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and the next second, a torrential rain poured down.
Gabriel was soon soaked through, but he still stood there like a statue, with Lan Xiaoling's sad crying ringing in his ears.
In the infirmary.
Freya looked at the sudden heavy rain, and her mood became depressed as well.
"I wonder how Young Master Lu and Xiaoling are doing?"
Originally, Lan Xiaoling had asked her to keep her residence a secret from Gabriel, but in the end, Freya had softened her heart and told him.
Fortunately, Gabriel hadn't disturbed Xiaoling and had stayed by Xiaolan's side until the truth was revealed.
If she hadn't been worried that Xiaoling couldn't get over this hurdle, she wouldn't have let Gabriel meet Xiaoling now.
After all, Xiaoling and Xiaolan had a deep sisterly bond. She was afraid that Xiaoling would feel guilty towards her sister now and even shift all the blame onto Gabriel.
"You've already done what you should do. Leave the rest for Gabriel to deal with," Bradley took off his coat and draped it over Freya. He put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to keep her warm.
After all, the Dark Web was in a special geographical environment, and with the wind and rain now, he was worried that Freya would catch a cold.
"The Buddha said that everyone has to go through trials on earth and can only be with their loved ones after going through eighty-one difficulties. But how many difficulties do Young Master Lu and Xiaoling have to go through?"
She and Bradley had gone through many twists and turns to get to where they were today because of their backgrounds.
Mi Luo and Yun Xiangcheng, Madeline and Patrick had developed feelings over time.
But what about Gabriel and Lan Xiaoling? There were too many obstacles between them. I'm afraid that for them to truly be together, they need the precipitation of time to gradually let go of their grudges.
"We can't interfere too much in matters of the heart. Even if Gabriel and Lan Xiaoling can't be together in the end, it's their destiny."
Freya let out a deep sigh. The misty weather was just like her mood, gloomy and hard to dispel.
She turned to look at Bradley and said, "I'll go and check on Xiaolan's condition."
She had just hypnotized Xiaolan and made her forget her past memories. Calculating the time, she should be waking up soon.
Bradley said okay, and Freya walked away.
But her back looked so heavy.
Bradley seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, he was also secretly worried about Gabriel's future.
I'm afraid that the road to winning Lan Xiaoling's heart again is still a long way off!
