From spring to summer, it rained.
Very similar to the day I died.
The detention center was damp and cold.
Gabriel had lost a lot of weight. Wearing handcuffs and thin prison clothes, he sat across the glass from me.
Actually, it wouldn't have been this miserable originally.
But he had been reborn and used cruel methods to win over Koster family subordinates.
Old Mr. Koster was extremely disappointed in him and refused to see him even on his deathbed.
Yes, despite going to the best hospital, seeing the best doctors, using the best medicine, Old Mr. Koster's life was only extended by three months.
Seeing me sitting across from him, Gabriel looked up.
Light returned to his eyes.
He tried to hold my hand through the glass.
The cold surface kept his hand on the other side.
"Elaine, you still won't forgive me."
I couldn't help but laugh again.
"Elaine, we've both been reborn—this is god giving us another chance..."
"I don't see it that way."
"Maybe we were both brought back because some people were too wronged."
Gabriel's eyes darkened again.
"Gabriel, do you know why we were together so long without having children?"
Gabriel's gaze fell to my abdomen.
"Because when I married you, your position in the Koster family wasn't stable. You needed support."
With other Koster family members eyeing your position, it wasn't a good time for pregnancy.
We could have children later, when Gabriel fully controlled the Koster Group.
My father, my family, helped him so much.
"But actually, we did have a child."
Gabriel's pupils suddenly contracted.
"When you killed me, I was already three months pregnant."
"Why didn't you..."
"Why didn't I tell you?" I moved closer to him, looking up. "Why would I have a child with someone like you?"
Gabriel's face turned ashen gradually, showing a rare expression of pain.
"Gabriel, I was actually worried you wouldn't come back."
"I was afraid you'd think you lost unfairly!"
Gabriel looked at me in shock, the pain spreading to his eyes.
I quietly looked at him:
"Your fate today is what you owe me."
