Chapter 208 Gabe Returned
1/5
After Cora took the last subway and arrived at the apartment building downstairs, it was almost 10 pm.
A sports car zoomed past, its roaring engine capturing Cora’s
attention.
Just as she saw the car, she felt like her heart was breaking free from all constraints and about to leap out of her throat.
Because that sports car looked like…
“Mr. Hansen?”
Yes, it seemed like Byron’s car.
So, was he jealous?
Was it because she had been too close with another man, and
he came specially to see if she brought that man home?
But just as Cora tried to focus and confirm if it was indeed his
car, the vehicle had already disappeared around the street corner, leaving only a bustling crowd behind.
It felt as if everything that had just happened was nothing but

a dream.

Cora smirked bitterly, realizing that whether it was real or a dream, in the end, they would still part ways.
There was no point in lingering and getting hurt even more…
The next morning, Cora received a call from the prison and quickly took leave to wait in front of the prison gate.
At exactly 9 am, a tall and lean figure walked out.
“Gabe!”
Hearing Cora’s call, he turned around and smiled brightly,
“Cora!”
The siblings embraced tightly, celebrating this hard-earned
reunion.
After the embrace, Cora took Gabe to the apartment to shower and change into clean clothes before taking him to a nearby restaurant for food.
Before the meals arrived, Cora couldn’t help but tear up. “Brother, I’m sorry. You went through so much suffering because of me.”
Gabe had lost a lot of weight, and he seemed like he had

aged a lot, especially his once-bright eyes, now dulled as if
covered with a layer of dust.
Gabe quickly indulged in soothingly rubbing Cora’s head.
“What are you saying, silly girl? It was most difficult for you.
during the time I wasn’t around.”
He knew better than anyone the dire circumstances their
family had faced after the Lane family’s downfall.
While he could still maintain respect through force in prison, it
would be much harder for Cora without the protection of the
Lane family.
He couldn’t fathom how much mistreatment she must
have endured without their backing, especially with her
outstanding figure and appearance.
“Gabe, I’m fine.” Cora smiled. But soon, her smile faded a bit.
Well, it couldn’t really be said that she wasn’t doing well, especially with her recent experience with Byron.
He may have been sc m, but at least he made it clear from the start, never promising a future. And their breakup was dignified, as arranged, with Gabe being rescued as promised.
“Cora, I know you’ve been through a tough time since you and Eason broke up. But now that I’m out, even if I have to risk my

life, I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”
In truth, Cora hadn’t intended to cry before, but for some
reason, Gabe’s heartfelt words made her want to cry, and
tears flowed uncontrollably.
“Alright, everything will pa*s.”

Gabe comforted her for a while before Cora gradually calmed
down.
After finishing their meal, Cora took Gabe to visit Flora.
“Gabe, it’s good that you’re safe. Even if I die right now, I won’t be guilty when I see your father again,” Flora said excitedly upon seeing Gabe.
“Mom, you have to take care of yourself too. Get well soon and leave the hospital, and then our whole family can reunite.”
Although Flora wasn’t Gabe’s biological mother, they got along well, and Gabe had long started calling her mom.
After going through this turmoil together, they considered
each other family.
However, several times, Flora wanted to mention Cora’s new boyfriend, Byron, in front of Gabe, but Cora always interrupted her.

“Mom, Gabe just got out today. Let’s let him rest early and talk
with him later.”
She and Byron had already separated, so she felt that there was no need for Gabe to know about it.
Flora a*sumed that Cora was concerned for her brother,
saying, “Alright, Gabe, you should go home and rest. Tomorrow, I’ll have a nurse buy a chicken and make some soup for you. Look how much weight you’ve lost recently…”
Flora continued to nag, and finally, she allowed Cora to take
Gabe home.
However, just as Cora tried to avoid mentioning Byron whom Flora had repeatedly brought up, Gabe suddenly mentioned
him.
On their way back from the hospital, Gabe asked Cora, “Cora,
what’s your relationship with Mr. Hansen?
