Was it true? All of the things that Adrien was shouting at him, were they all true?
"She's n-not love d-desperate." Gabriel whispered whilst Adrien's shouting continued.
"Of course she is! Even you yourself called her a whore."
"SHUT UP! I didn't mean to call her that, and I know I hurt her deeply but...but right now she's in the hospital and I just can't allow myself to see either one of these women in pain anymore. Just call the god damn ambulance already!!"
Adrien went silent for a second before he stood up, and without making any comments just went over to the telephone so he could call "the god damn ambulance".
Gabriel watched as his son explained that his mother in lying unconscious on the floor, and all he heard from the whole conversation was "alright, we'll be there very soon".
With that Adrien ended the call and continued to observe how Gabriel was holing onto Emelie so desperately.

*later*

After the ambulance arrived and they took care of Emelie, Gabriel was free to choose if he would go back to the hospital in the ambulance, or he could separately drive back. By the looks on Adrien's face he didn't want to be in the same car as his 'cheating' father so instead Gabriel chose to go alone.
Luckily they were taking Emelie to the same hospital as Nathalie so Gabriel felt relieved that he would be near both people he cared for. After arriving back he immediately rushed up to Nathalie's room where she was anxiously waiting.
A lot has changed since he'd last left her, she had some infusion tubes inserted into her hand and a heartbeat-monitor was placed near her bed. Once Nathalie could see Gabriel she tried to stand, but got tangled in all of the different cords and almost knocked over the heartbeat machine. Quickly before she could pull the machine with her and land on the floor Gabriel caught her, and with that he was holding both Nathalie and the heartbeat monitor.
"Is she alright?" Nathalie asked worried.
"Emelie is just a few rooms away from you. What did the doctor say about your health?" Gabriel placed Nathalie back onto her feet and also stabilized the machine.
"I want to go see her!"
"Later, her condition isn't very stable at the moment."
"Why aren't you with her then?!?!"
"All of the doctors are crowded around her, I don't want to disturb them." Gabriel held onto her shoulders and pushed her down a bit so she would sit on the bed instead of anxiously walking around. "Now tell me, what did they say about your health?"
"I'm fine I'm fine! I want to see her now!" Nathalie brushed his hand off of her shoulder and before he could reach to pull her back she quickly stood up. Gabriel didn't even have a chance to react because Nathalie was already out the door searching for the right room.
Before she could run to the end of the hallway Gabriel had pulled her back and now he held onto her firmly so she couldn't escape.
"Nathalie if you're fine they wouldn't have done all of this." He held her hand that had a couple of tubes connected to.
"I'm fine I swear! I already knew that you would make a fuss about it!"
Gabriel's feeling we're slightly hurt by the fact she already knew he would fuss about her condition, but he'd already failed once with Emelie, he couldn't let anything happen to Nathalie.
"Nathalie listen! You can see Emelie as soon as she is awake! Until then-"
"Until then you should get some rest!" Nathalie said with a childish voice and an annoyed face that made him even more mad. She continued to mock whatever he was going to say next so poor Gabriel didn't even have a change to speak.
"You matter to me so much. I can't lose you Nathalie, I just can't."
That made her stop the childishness and she started to take him seriously. Gabriel began to tear up so he took off his glasses and before he could wipe away his own tear away Nathalie was quicker and she did it for him.
His eyes widened to look down at Nathalie who's hand was still near his face so he gave it a small kiss. Nathalie who was still looking at the tall man in front of her decided to hug him without a word.
The fact that she always knew when he needed a comforting hug made Gabriel tear up again.
Nathalie hearing his sobs tried to pull back so she could wipe his tears away, but as soon as Gabriel felt her move he held onto her even tighter so now Nathalie was forcefully pushed against him.
Gabriel was so scared that once he would let go of her she would no longer be there, so he couldn't bring himself to pull back from the hug.
"You're kinda suffocating me." Nathalie mumble as she felt his grip was only getting stronger.
"Oh I'm so sorry." Gabriel immediately pulled back to see Nathalie smiling at him and her hand already near his face to wipe away the next tears that were about to stream down his face.
"Please Nathalie get some rest." He begged, and Nathalie not able to say no because she was afraid he would either get mad or start crying again, she just nodded and sat down on the bed, earning a faint smile from him.
"As soon as she wakes up please tell me. I want to see her, if it's not too late."
Nathalie admitted what Gabriel was too afraid to, what if it was 'too late' and Emelie wouldn't wake up.
Whilst it took Gabriel all his power to hold his tears back he obediently nodded to her words and promised he would wake her up as soon as Emelie would be awake.
The cold heartless man was just about to break apart, but he didn't want to bother Nathalie with his foolish thoughts.
If only it would've been that easy to marry the person he truly loved, and continue on with his life the normal way without getting millions of death threats.
As Nathalie promised, she closed her eyes to get some rest and Gabriel soon left to give her peace and quiet.
"Sir your wife-"
"One second-" he waived the nurse off and locked himself in the bathroom, so for a second it would only be him and his feelings.
The nurse lady still shocked at how he ignored her important news, she left the man alone.
In the meantime Gabriel was crying his heart out on the bathroom floor, feeling so shitty and useless he punched himself, but that only made his pain worse. Eventually when Gabriel got enough strength to stand, he supported himself by placing both arms on either side of the sink and when he looked up to see the disappointment he was, he got scared of his own looks for a second. Gabriel's whole face was red and looked beaten up, a little blood trickled down from his nose to make him look like an absolute psychopath. His hair a complete mess and even his shirt got dirty from the nosebleed.
The sound of an aggressive knocking made him shift back into reality, making him stop staring at his hideous face.
"Mr. Agreste are you in there?!" A shy female voice asked.
Hearing how impatient the woman sounded he quickly opened the door and the small lady jumped when she saw this tall psychopath glare down at her.
"Y-your w-wife s-sir-"
"She's not my wife anymore!" His voice intimidated her even more, so she slowly backed away before continuing. "It's best if you see her b-before I-it's t-to l-late..." her voice tremendously shaking while she tapped her heels against the ground to ease her stress.
"Why? Is she dead?" That almost sounded as if he wished she was dead.
The nurse was too afraid to tell him, she gulped before she could bring herself to speak.
"As I said before-... it's best if you see her."
"And as I asked before, is she dead?!?!" Gabriel's voice almost shouting as he demanded an answer.

To be continued-

I don't plan on finishing this book anytime soon, so a lot will happen before these two get together...but remember: it's a Gabenath story, so it will have a good ending (or not, heheh, I chose.)
Also reminder: I'm in summer camp until Thursday so I won't be really active online.
That's it, hope you liked the chapter, love you all!❤️
