Chapter 184

---- Chapter 184 Giselle walked out of the hospital room just as Gideon finished his cigarette and came up to her. "Twant to go home now. There's no point in getting hospitalized," Giselle said. "Sure. Let's go," Gideon replied. Since she seemed to have fully recovered, Gideon respected her decision and personally drove her home. "About what happened tonight... Do you want to report it to the police?" Gideon asked while driving.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Giselle shook her head weakly. "No need. I don't want to waste police resources. I'm. tired of going to the police station every other day." "Are you just going to let it go?" Gideon recalled how the cold storage door had been locked from the outside when he arrived. He had instantly figured someone was trying to murder Giselle. Giselle let out a cold laugh. "Yeah, let it go. I already know who the culprit is.

No need for the police to get involved." "You know who it is?" "Yes," Giselle replied. ---- Since Gideon had just saved her life, she no longer felt the need to hide anything from him. So, she revealed the grudges she held against her birth family. "My half-sister was the one who locked me in the cold storage room tonight," Giselle explained with a sneer. "Even if [reported her, her mother would easily find a way to get her off the hook.

No point wasting time and energy." Upon hearing how many times her life had been put in danger by her stepmother and half-sister, Gideon felt a heaviness settle in his chest. He gradually slowed down the car. "If only you'd met me earlier." Gideon kept his left hand steady on the wheel while using his injured right hand to hold Giselle's hand. His tone turned sharp.

"From now on, if anyone tries to hurt you again, I'll make them pay tenfold." After letting him hold her hand for a moment, she felt a little uncomfortable and pulled her hand away. "Thank you," she said quietly. With her eyes fixed on the road ahead, she was in a dilemma as she said, "But this is my own mess, so I don't want to drag you into it. You already saved my life tonight, and I won't forget that. I just... don't know how to repay you.

Still, I'm lucky to have met you..." Her words stung. He replied, "Why are you being so polite? I'd rather have the old you back, arguing with me and throwing insults at me. That was easier to handle than all this gratitude. ---- "Tjust think..." "Stop thinking!" Gideon cut her off because he had had enough of it. He sharply changed the topic. "You're weak right now, so you should focus on resting. Go home, take a hot shower, and get some sleep. That's what matters now!

Don't overthink everything!" With that, he accelerated and got her home in less than half an hour. After Giselle opened the door, Gideon followed her straight into the living room without the slightest hesitation. "You should head back and get some sleep too," she said to him. "It's almost 1:00 am. I'm fine now. No need to waste your time here. I'll treat you to a meal another day." "Why are you in such a rush to kick me out?" He plopped down onto the couch and rested his hands behind his head.
