Chapter 483
When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 4 8 3
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. âWhatâs wrong? Are you injured? Will it hurt if I touch you?â
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 didnât want to stink her.
However, he was too embarrassed to say it out loud. He hesitated for a moment and said, âIâm a little dirty now and smelly. Iâm afraid the stench will rub off on you.â
Gina smiled helplessly and said, âItâs okay. I donât mind. I just miss you so much.â
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. âThen Iâll hug you.â
âYeah.â Gina nodded.
Gabriel hugged Gina tightly. âI missed you too.â
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, âYou do stink a little.â
Gabriel was silent.
He started to get a little emotional. âAre you disgusted with me now?â
âNo, no. Letâs go.â Gina felt a little guilty.
âIâm sure youâre disgusted with me,â Gabriel emphasized.
âItâs not that Iâm disgusted with you, itâs just that the air on this island is not good.â Gina suddenly began to make things up.
Gabriel looked at Ginaâs 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, âCan we hug now?â
Gina smiled and said, âAlright.â
Gabriel hugged Gina and suddenly hissed.â
Gina became nervous. âThe wound on your hand.â
âIâm fine. Iâm really fine. I was just slashed by a knife, and the wound had already scabbed over. I didnât expect that there would still be useful herbs. 1 applied them to the wound. The wound got infected, but itâs not very serious. I donât know why. Could it be that my immune system has been strengthened?â
Gabriel was joking, but when he looked at Gina, he suddenly thought of something. âIs it the effect of the Spirit Orchid?â
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. âIâm very glad now that I gave you that herb.â
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.
âHarry took Ethan to Jackson Group when you werenât 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 Ethanâs name.
âHowever, Iâve found out that thereâs a huge problem with the medical project under Ethanâs 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 Groupâs share price or bring about even more serious consequences.
âBy the way, they also injured David because David refused to let them take the official soalâ
Gabrielâs expression darkened. He had only been gone for a few days, and Harry had already brought Ethan to tyrannize others.
âIâll settle the score with them and get the 120 million dollars back.â
Gina nodded. âYes.â
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. âTell me what youâve been through these past few days. Tell me everything.â
Gabriel said, âOkay.â
âI held the daughter of the leader of Lighthouse hostage. After forcing the leader to testify for you, I was about to leave. However, too many people caught up to me. When I was dealing with them, I was accidentally slashed.
âFortunately, I managed to escape unscathed because I ran to the beach. Aheri bandaged my wound, I jumped into the water. After that, I didnât s the water for long. Instead, I was lucky enough to encounter a boat. After I sneaked onto the boat, no one discovered me.

y in
âBut I couldnât stay on the boat for too long. Otherwise, my identity would definitely be exposed. At that time, I might be treated as a dangerous person and controlled. So, I jumped back into the sea.
âAfter that, I arrived on this island and was discovered by the primitive people. I shook them off and hid in a cave. My luck was also good. There were quite a lot of fruits on this island, so I didnât 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.â
Gina was in a daze. After all, half a year ago, she was still considered a jinx by the Miller family.
âFortunately, youâre fine.â
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 home when Harry called
When Ethan saw that it was a call from his respected uncle, Harry, his expression became much 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. âHarry, whatâs wrong? Whatâs the matter?â
âGabriel is back,â Harry said.
Ethan was a little surprised. He thought, âIsnât Gabriel missing?â
However, Ethan felt that the probability of Gabriel dying in an accident was extremely small because Gabriel was a really tough guy.
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.
thelâs heart disease became more serious that year.
However, Ethan did not expect Gabriel to suddenly return unscathed. This time, Gabriel returned so soon, which surprised Ethan a little.
heâs back.â Ethan was uninterested and calm.
He thought, âIf Gabriel is back, so be it. What else can he do? Do I have to go and welcome Gabriel? That is impossible. Iâll never do that.â
