---- Chapter 39 Iwatched his back, feeling completely confused. Would I really regret it? No wonder he was one of Jonathan's people. They all seemed to think I would regret it.I rolled my eyes and went back to my room, closing the door behind me. Not long after, Gabrielle came rushing in. "Elise, are you sick? Where does it hurt?" She looked worried and scanned me from head to toe. "T'm fine," I said. Seeing her calmed me down a bit.

"Why did Jonathan say you were sick and ask me to take you to the hospital?" she asked. Isighed. "I lied to him." "You actually dared to lie to him now?" Gabrielle exclaimed, staring at me in disbelief. "You've really changed." She muttered , shaking her head, "The old you would never have dared to do something like this." "Enough about him," I snapped, annoyed by the mention of Jonathan's name. "I need your help with something." "What is it?" she asked. "T want to visit Frederick.

When Jonathan asks, just tell him ---- 'we went to the hospital," I explained. "Of course!" Gabrielle said without hesitation . "I definitely won't let him know, but..." She frowned. "Why do you want to see Frederick?" Isighed again. "After all, he saved me. Last time we parted on bad terms, but no matter what, I want to apologize. Without him, I might not even be alive," I confessed. "That makes sense," Gabrielle nodded.

His family has a huge cellar filled with rare wines from. around the world.

Frederick even asked you to give him some before, but you flat-out refused. Don't you remember?" Irubbed my nose. "T really forgot..." "Well, it's understandable since you lost your memory," she said softly. Gabrielle looked me in the eyes. "Are you sure about giving ---- him wine? I'm afraid he might reject your gesture, considering how harshly you refused him before." I shrugged casually. "Where do you keep those wines?" I asked. "T'll take you," Gabrielle said, taking my hand.

Jonathan must have told the security by the door because no one stopped us when Gabrielle and I left by car. She took me straight to the room Jonathan and I shared-the very first place I saw after waking from my amnesia. At first, I thought I was lucky to live somewhere so valuable. Now, it just felt like a golden cage, turning me into someone I wasn't. Seeing Gabrielle walk around so familiarly , I asked, "Didn't you say your relationship with Jonathan and me wasn't good during my marriage?

Why do you seem so familiar with this house?" Gabrielle paused for a moment before saying, "We didn't fall out at the very start. I was genuinely happy for you when you got married, but then you changed. You argued with Jonathan all the time. I tried to advise you a few times, but Jonathan overheard and got upset.
