Chapter 389 How Could It Be? The Babies Are Dead Too
"No matter the outcome, I can handle it," Gabriel said.
Vincent's various abnormal behaviors made him more convinced that the person inside was not Jessica.
In other words, his Jessica might still be alive.
As long as he lifted this white cloth and proved that the person inside was not Jessica, Vincent's lies would naturally collapse.
All the mysteries would naturally unravel.
Gabriel's hand had already grasped one edge of the white cloth.
This time, Vincent stood aside and did not stop him.
Suddenly, the white cloth in front of him was lifted.
However, when he saw the person inside, Gabriel collapsed on the spot.
It was indeed his Jessica!
But how could this be?
Vincent had been so vehemently against him, that the person inside shouldn't be his Jessica.
Gabriel looked at Jessica lying on the bed in disbelief, but the fact was right in front of him.
The eyes, the nose, the face, everything looked just like Jessica, almost identical.
At this moment, he could no longer deceive himself.
Gabriel slumped to the ground, looking disheveled.
He held Jessica's hand tightly, his voice low and murmuring, "When I first came in, it was pitch black in here. The curtains were tightly closed, and I couldn't see anything. It was very dark, very dim."
"You know? Jessica was most afraid of the dark. She always liked the sunlight."
Yes, she used to love smiling.
He remembered that when they first got married, because of his hatred of this forced marriage, he always treated her coldly and distantly.
But even so, every time they met, she always greeted him with a gentle smile.
Now that gentle and smiling face seemed so distant.
At this moment, Vincent's voice also came gently, "Of course I know, but this was her last wish. She said she wanted to stay in a quiet, dark place without any noise."
"She also said she hoped you wouldn't come to see her."
The reason was simple. Besides feeling wronged and hard to forgive, she was also afraid that this secret would be exposed.
"No way," Gabriel shook his head vigorously. "She was always hoping for me to come. How could she say that?"
He did not believe this.
However, Vincent's words were so gentle, narrating. "It's true. I have no reason to deceive you. Otherwise, why would I have been stopping you from coming in here?"
"Maybe you're right. When Jessica was alive, she was always waiting and hoping for you. But now that she's gone, the last person she wanted to see was you."
It was these calm, slowly spoken words that made Gabriel collapse even more.
Because he knew that what Vincent said was probably true.
In the end, Jessica had hoped for him for so long, but she never saw him. She must have been resentful, full of hatred.
She was so afraid of pain, yet she had to endure immense pain to give birth to his babies.
Right, the babies!
When he heard the news from Oscar, Jessica was already on the brink of death, so his whole heart was focused on Jessica.
Gabriel was also immersed in grief, almost forgetting about the babies.
And at this moment, he seemed to finally see a glimmer of hope.
Standing up, Gabriel looked at Vincent eagerly. "Where's my babies?"
However, Vincent just pressed his lips together, saying nothing.
His reaction gave Gabriel a very bad premonition.
The longer he waited, the more his heart sank, almost into the abyss.
Time passed, second by second.
But there was still silence, suffocating silence.
The result seemed self-evident.
But he still didn't want to admit it.
Finally, Gabriel could no longer hold back the emotions pent up in his chest and completely exploded. "Say it, Vincent, why won't you say it?"
"Where's my babies? Where?"
Gabriel almost shouted in collapse, but considering the "Jessica" lying there, he desperately suppressed himself, not daring to roar.
In the end, he just let out a beast-like painful low growl, a mournful cry.
"Vincent, I'm begging you, tell me everything. Now, I just want the truth."
At this moment, the always high-and-mighty Gabriel didn't even think before lowering his head.
Vincent finally opened his lips and spoke softly, "Jessica's water broke, and the car accident cost too much time, by the time she was taken to the hospital for a C-section, the babies had suffocated due to lack of amniotic fluid. When they took the babies out, it was already purple all over, and was sent to the neonatal intensive care unit."
"But it was too late. Both babies didn't make it."
"Jessica couldn't handle the news and bled out, not making it through."
At this moment, Vincent's words mercilessly declared all the pain.
Is this the end?
But why? Gabriel felt he couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it.
Clearly, before today, he was the happiest person in the world, with a beloved wife and the most anticipated twins.
As long as he successfully rescued Jessica, everything would head towards the best direction.
But now God had almost sentenced him to death.
It seemed like overnight, his wife, his babies, and the most important people in his life had all left him.
At this moment, the world felt void.
Everything in front of him seemed like a dream, so unreal and meaningless.
His Jessica was dead.
His babies were also dead.
So what was the point of him living?
"Gabriel, why? Why wasn't it you who died?"
"Why did they all leave, and only you are still fine, only you are still alive? Why?"
He collapsed, questioning, shouting, yet no response.
"Where are the babies? I want to see them," Finally, Gabriel forced himself to speak.
The answer was Vincent's silence.
"Where exactly are my babies?" Gabriel asked again, heartbroken.
This time, Vincent could only answer painfully, "The babies are gone. I've already asked the hospital to take care of them."
"What did you say? Vincent, they were my babies. How could you do that?"
Gabriel was so angry he was about to throw a punch, but at that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, the person outside walked in, bowed politely, and said very courteously.
"Mr. Lucas, we are from the funeral home. Shall we take the body now?"
