Chapter 21 Beautiful Siblings

Widow and spinster.

These two seemingly contradictory words perfectly described Stella.

At that point, Gabriel was genuinely interested in her.

And by interest, it wasn't a sexual one.

"Well, you passed my test, kid. Congratulations! You're my little brother now."

Gabriel grinned, patting Thomas on the shoulder.

Originally, he had no intention of taking on a sidekick, but this guy was quite interesting.

It wouldn't hurt to have someone to play with and pass the time when there was nothing else to do.

"Thank you, boss!"

Thomas was so thrilled that he almost hummed a song out of professional habit.

"Wait a moment!" Gabriel took out his phone and walked to the side to make a call to Leon.

The two of them quickly exchanged a few words.

Before Gabriel ended the call, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He then beckoned to Thomas.

When Thomas walked over, Gabriel narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Tom, now I want you to go find someone with the recording. Remember, this is my first task for you. Don't mess it up!"

"Boss, don't worry. It'll be done perfectly!" Thomas assured him, rubbing his bald head with determination.

The first task was crucial, as it represented his sincerity.

He would give it his all, no doubt about it.

Thomas took the order and left.

Gabriel watched and couldn't help but smile.

He hadn't expected to take on another underling.

The scene was getting livelier.

The past days of tranquility and ease seemed to be gone.

Soon after, Gabriel arrived at Ava's house.

This time, he followed proper protocol and knocked on the door.

Following hurried footsteps, the door swung open.

Ava playfully poked her head out. "Darling, you're here! Come on in!"

She smiled, revealing her adorable dimples.

Her face flushed a little, tinged with a hint of shyness.

Gabriel went in and looked up.

As expected, Mia was there too.

Dr. Mia sat upright on the couch, her gaze as cold as ever and tinged with anger.

"Dr. Mia, you're here too!"

Gabriel narrowed his eyes and smiled, secretly acknowledging that these two ladies were a pair of stunners.

One was lively, while the other was icy.

If he could have them both, he would experience supreme pleasure.

Mia remained expressionless, but her words carried a hidden meaning. "I dare not be absent, for I have a ton of questions to ask you. Really, are you my patient or the CEO of Apex Bank?"

"Your patient?" Ava looked puzzled. "Mia, is Gabriel your patient?"

From the beginning to the end, Mia never told Ava that she knew Gabriel.

The secret remained unspoken, even just now.

"Yes!" Mia nodded indifferently, her pretty eyes fixed on Gabriel.

Ava blinked in bewilderment. 'Gabriel is your patient? What is going on?'

Gabriel casually sat opposite Mia, earnestly declaring, "To be honest, it was only today at the hotel that I discovered you two are siblings. I was quite shocked, as I had no prior knowledge. Seriously, apart from both being beautiful, what resemblance is there between you two?"

From a purely physical standpoint, they didn't resemble each other at all.

"We are half-sisters, sharing the same father but different mothers."

Ava came over and sat down next to Gabriel, whispering, "Mia, what illness does Gabriel have?"

She was more curious about Gabriel's condition.

"Why don't you just ask me?" Gabriel sulked. "Besides, treating impotence is not her expertise. Why are you asking so cautiously?"

Ava instantly blushed and playfully punched him. "Don't talk nonsense!"

Mia remained calm in the face of Gabriel's teasing.

She asked him, "During the electrotherapy the other day, did you remember something?"

The chauffeur had transformed into a prominent figure overnight.

Such a drastic change could only be attributed to one reason.

Gabriel had remembered something, and his previous identity was far from ordinary.

Only that could bring about such a transformation.

Gabriel got serious and replied, "To be honest, I did remember something, or rather, I opened the first door to my blocked memories! Didn't I tell you before? In my subconsciousness, I saw eight doors blocking my memories, and behind that door there was some information about me. Unfortunately, I can't tell you yet."

Mia nodded relievedly.

She didn't blame Gabriel at all. She just felt that her doubts had been answered.

"Ah, Gabriel, what kind of illness do you have exactly?"

Ava was still puzzled over his illness.

She clenched her fists, looking anxious.

Gabriel turned around, rolled his eyes, and casually said, "I'm impotent!"

"Who are you fooling? That night, we..."

She took it seriously.

But then she suddenly blushed and stopped halfway through her speech.

Instinctively, she glanced at her sister.

Mia was a smart girl, and she immediately understood what Ava meant.

Her face darkened, and she sternly questioned, "Did you two sleep together?"

Ava quickly lowered her head and bit her lips without saying a word.

Her behavior had already explained everything.

Gabriel narrowed his eyes and revealed it truthfully. "That day, Ava was drugged by James. She was almost taken away by James' men from outside the bar. Fortunately, she called for a chauffeur, and it happened to be me. I dealt with those men and brought her home.

"Unexpectedly, the effects of the drug kicked in, and we..."

Mia recalled the scene from the morning two days ago. When she saw Ava at the Royal Mansion, the latter was crying.

Finally, she understood why.

Wrinkling her brows, she stood up and walked to the window.

She looked at the scenery outside for a while before speaking again, "Gabriel, since you have slept with her, I hope you can take responsibility and protect her for a lifetime. Otherwise, I won't let you off!"

She suddenly turned around, and her eyes were filled with coldness.

Her gaze startled Ava.

Gabriel furrowed his brows and said, "I have six days, during which I won't let anyone bully her. But after that, I can't guarantee anything!"

"Six days? I'm talking about a lifetime! If you dare fail her, I will kill you!" Mia bellowed, her eyes emitting terrifying killing intent.

"Killing me? You?" Gabriel stood up, his gaze also turning cold. "I have always been fair and just in my actions. That night, if it weren't for saving her, I wouldn't have touched her at all.

"I feel guilty about it, and that's why I helped her get rid of James.

"To make amends, I even offered a $15 million-worth contract to your family. I have done everything I could.

"Dr. Mia, I don't want to argue with you after all the hard work you've put into treating my amnesia for the past six months.

"But let me make it clear. I don't like being threatened.

"No one can control or manipulate me.

"You'd better remember that!" Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tension filled the air in an instant.

Ava looked to the left and then to the right, caught in the middle and unsure of what to do. "Stop arguing, you guys. It was all my fault. Please, don't argue anymore."

Hearing her desperate cries, Gabriel and Mia both calmed down a little.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Coming!"

Ava composed herself and rushed toward the front door.

Upon opening the door, she saw several uniformed people flashing their police IDs. "We are officers from the local police station. There has been an assault case, and we need to bring Mr. Gabriel Edwards back for an investigation."

Ava's heart skipped a beat, and she looked back at Gabriel.
