Chapter 276 A Change in Attitude
Matilda bit her lip hard to calm down her overwhelming excitement.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she dared not to let them drop.
Through the tears, she saw the picture blurring into a dream.
But the man in the pictures became clear.
At that moment, Gabriel in the picture completely merged with the image of Herman in Matilda's heart.
They turned back together and smiled at her together.
Then they whispered to her, "Matilda, I'm back!"
The simple words made her break down.
All of a sudden, Matilda fell to the ground and cried.
"Doh"
The camera was hit on the ground. At the same time, the picture was developed.
The photo was a little scrambled.
Under the light, the side face of the man in the photo was handsome!
Just like the one in the frame on the desk!
"Miss Wallick, are you all right?"
Gabriel was shocked and surprised by Matilda.
He went to help Matilda, but Matilda raised her hand and stopped him.
Matilda buried her head in her long, draped hair and said in a low and trembling voice, "I am fine, Mr. Edwards. Your room is on the second floor. You have been tired all day. Please go to rest first!"
Gabriel pulled his hands back.
Then he walked out of the room.
When he was about to leave, he looked back.
Sitting on the ground, Maltida was full of heart-wrenching sadness!
Gabriel's gone!
Matilda had a breakdown.
She finally could let it all out.
When she picked up the picture, her tears welled up again.
"Herman, you're back!"
Tears dropped on the photo, wetting the side of Gabriel's face in the picture...
When Gabriel woke up the next morning, it was half past nine.
He stretched, got up, and washed up.
As soon as Gabriel left the room, he found Matilda standing at the door of his room.
"Oh, you scared me!"
Gabriel looked Matilda over and then got even more shocked.
Matilda, who had lost her cool air, wore jeans and a simple T-shirt.
Her hair was tied up, making her look like a teen.
When looking at him, Matilda looked gentle and enthusiastic, which was totally different from the cold attitude she used to have.
"It's breakfast time. Let me take you to the dining hall!"
Matilda said softly with blinking eyes.
Gabriel made exaggerated moves to avoid Matilda and muttered, "Miss Wallick, what changed you last night? I'm not used to you being so gentle to me all of a sudden!"
"You'll soon get used to it!" Matilda reached up and took Gabriel by the arm, pulling him without hesitation to the dining hall.
Breakfast was simple. Matilda made it herself.
Matilda was kind enough to peel an egg for Gabriel.
Holding the egg in his hand, Gabriel was stunned.
Looking at the enthusiastic Matilda on the other side, Gabriel thought there was something wrong.
After having breakfast, Matilda was still enthusiastic, making Gabriel confused.
"Ting~"
When the phone rang, Gabriel took the phone and ran away.
Finally, he was able to get rid of Matilda.
God! Now the tables have turned.
Judging from the current situation, it seemed Matilda was hitting on him.
"Hello?"
He answered the phone.
"Mr. Edwards, it's Wayne!" Wayne's voice came from the other side.
Gabriel had a serious look. "What's the matter?"
Probably, it was about the Life-extracting ID thing.
Wayne said, "Mr. Edwards, there may have been some wrong information. I have investigated, and Mr. Garza never used the Life-extracting ID. So, the assassination of God Slayer on you was not done by Mr. Garza. We should know that."
"Not Alonzo?" Surprised by that message, Gabriel asked, "Wayne, do you think I'm going to believe you just with your words?"
It was Zoe's inference that Alonzo schemed the assassination. It was also the most reasonable explanation, he thought.
No one other than Alonzo could use the Life-extracting ID to kill him.
Wayne's been investigating for a long time, but he's denying it. It was funny.
Wayne said, "Well, Mr. Edwards, to show our sincerity, I can send you the Life-extracting ID in Mr. Garza's hand. You can verify if the Life-extracting ID has been used with the power of the Ghostly Purgatory Hall. There will be an answer!"
"I can responsibly assure you that I have verified that the Life-extracting ID in Mr Garza's hands hasn't been used!"
Wayne's vociferous tone made Gabriel feel a little unsure.
He slowly said, "Well, send me the ID then. I will find a way to verify!"
Then Gabriel hung up the phone.
Soon, a complex Life-extracting ID was sent to him.
He then forwarded the Life-extracting ID to Elizabeth and called her to find a way to verify whether the Life-extracting ID was true or not and whether it was being used.
After hanging up the phone, Gabriel stood in the yard, pulling leaves and thinking over it.
From what Alonzo said, Gabriel thought he wasn't lying.
That's really weird.
Wasn't Alonzo the one who assassinated him?
But besides Alonzo, who else would use God Slayer to kill him?
When he was thinking, Gabriel saw Matilda smiling at him.
He quickly picked up the phone and made a gesture of waving, indicating that he had not finished the call. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Matilda stopped walking and walked away.
Gabriel had a headache. Matilda didn't give him any space.
Then he called Zoe anyway.
He wanted to talk about the recent events to Zoe and listen to what Zoe would say.
"Hey, Gabriel!
On the other end came the soft voice of Zoe.
Gabriel's heart relaxed when he heard Zoe's voice.
He said with a smile, "Zoe, what are you doing? I miss you so much. So I called you."
"I'm reading!" Zoe said, "Are you having a problem?"
Gabriel laughed awkwardly. "There are one or two things I'd like to tell you!"
It's so embarrassing. I got caught.
"Gabriel, you don't have to beat around the bush with me.!" Zoe didn't mind helping him solve problems
.
Gabriel got a little more serious and said, "There are two things. The first thing is about the Life- extracting ID. Wayne called me just now and said he verified that it wasn't Alonzo who used the Life-extracting ID to assassinate me. He said Alonzo's Life-extracting ID wasn't used and sent it to me so I could find it myself!"
"I didn't think Wayne would lie. But to verify it, I sent the Life-extracting ID to Goddess of Wind!"
Zoe was silent for a while and then said, "Gabriel, we should talk about this after the Goddess of Wind finds out!"
In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, and it was likely to be true.
After grasping the main line, they wouldn't be confused by the confusing branch line.
And now she was not thinking about who wanted to kill Gabriel but about Gabriel's uncertain relationship with the Garza family.
That was the more important thing.
'Yes! While Zoe put things off, Gabriel, not daring to question anything, told her the second thing, "After I came to Gumoldur City, I met Matilda, the daughter of the president of the Southern Heaven Association, a local gang. This woman was a soldier before. She knew Herman!"
