Noah hurriedly patted Ella on the back to help her catch her breath.

"Now, at this point, we must stay united!" Ella said with a sigh of relief as she took the tissue Noah had handed her and wiped the blood from her mouth.
Noah understood Ella's meaning. He shouldn't have believed Gina and doubted Olivia. Ella indeed had undergone a kidney transplant surgery. If Olivia didn't donate her kidney, then where did the new kidney in Mom's body come from?
Noah apologized to Olivia, "I'm sorry, Olivia. I shouldn't have doubted you and asked such foolish questions."
it's fine, Noah. I understand. I've lied a lot in the past, so it's normal that you wouldn't believe me," Olivia said, but her expression was one of deep hurt.
Noah felt a pang of guilt. "I swear, Olivia, from now on, I will trust you unconditionally."
"Alright, Noah, but let's not talk about it anymore. I'm in a lot of pain, and Mom isn't doing well either. We need to get to the hospital," Olivia said.
"Yeah," Noah said.
They arrived in Oriata City.
Gabriel brought Gina to MIC, a high-end custom bridal shop.
Gabriel had made an appointment in advance to have their engagement dresses and suits custom-made.
As soon as they entered, the staff warmly welcomed them and began taking their measurements.
After taking the measurements, the staff asked about their preferred styles and design elements they wanted in the wedding attire, Gina, who had a knack for design, clearly articulated her needs and even suggested a few things for Gabriel to make the suit designs more harmonious.
Leaving MIC, Gabriel then took Gina to Quaria headquarters.
Gina smiled, puzzled, and asked, "What are we doing at my company? Do you want to discuss a collaboration?"
Gabriel nodded and said, "Indeed. I want to use your jewelry as the favors for our engagement party, including our wedding rings."
Gina had no objections and said, "Sure, I'll give you a discount."
Gabriel chuckled.
They went straight to Michael's office. When Gina pushed the door open, Michael's face still bore a smile. "Gina.
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Gabriel's figure, and his smile instantly faded.
Gabriel raised an eyebrow and got straight to the point, saying, "Gina and I are planning to order a batch of jewelry as our engagement banquet
souvenirs."
At Gabriel's words, Michael's mood worsened, but.
Even if it weren't for Gabriel, a relationship between Michael and Gina was impossible. Gina had no interest in him, and though he didn't have a favorable opinion of Gabriel, he trusted Gina's judgment. As long as Gina could be happy from now on, Michael would genuinely wish her well

"Alright. Mr. Jackson, do you want a custom series or something else?" Michael asked.
"For the favors, i
a series will do, but our wedding rings need to be custom-made. I also want Quaria's chief designer to handle it," Gabriel said.
Michael hesitated for a moment at the words, then his gaze s Quaria, was the real ace up their sleeve?"
shifted to Gina, wondering, 'Had Gina not informed Gabriel that she, the chief designer of
Realizing this, Michael felt a small triumph. For once, he knew more about Gina than Gabriel did.
"What's wrong? Is the chief designer unavailable?" Gabriel asked, puzzled by Michael's silence.
Michael chuckled and turned to Gina, asking. "Are you available?"
Gabriel was stunned to learn that Gina was the chief designer. All those internationally acclaimed designs from Quaria were her creations.
Gabriel, regaining his composure, marveled, "Gina, how many more secrets are you hiding from me?"
Gina felt a bit guilty. She hadn't intentionally hidden anything from Gabriel. She just preferred to keep a low profile. Since Gabriel hadn't asked, she
hadn't told him.
"Not many, Gina said modestly.
Gabriel wanted to ask more, but Michael, feeling left out, coughed twice. Gabriel realized they weren't alone and decided to drop the topic for now. There was no need for Michael to know too much about Gina's secrets. They could discuss it
privately later.
Gabriel then turned the conversation back to the engagement rings. He was concerned that Gina designing the rings herself might be too much for her.
"It won't b
be a problem. I haven't drawn a design in a while. Plus, the rings I designed will be unique in this world," Gina said,
Hearing this, Gabriel felt a surge of sweetness. Their rings designed by Gina would be as unique and precious to him as she was.
Watching their happiness, Michael felt a pang of bitterness but managed a weak
smile.
Gabriel, holding Gina's hand, said to Michael, "Mr. Clark, we'll send you an
invitation to the wedding!"
Michael knew Gabriel was asserting his claim.
Nevertheless, he still wanted to witness Gina's happiness. "Alright, I'll be there."
After arranging some details for the engagement party, Gina and Gabriel
returned to Norwood.

Gabriel: [I'll arrange the payment immediately. He never hesitated to spend
money on his wife.
However, Gina, sitting in the passenger seat, uddenly said, "Wait a minute."
Gabriel turned to her and asked, "Is there something else we need to buy?"
Gina shook her head and said, "We don't need to pay for this equipment."

"No, it's just that we don't need to pay. Someone else will cover it," Gina said with
a smile.
Gabriel relaxed, realizing Gina wasn't being polite to him.
"Who? A man? Or a woman?" Gabriel asked.
"Someone you know, Colin," Gina replied with a smile.
She then took out her phone and called Colin.
