Chapter 252: Gabriel’s mistake (2)
Gabriel put up a fight to get out of the guard’s hold, which only resulted in making his wound worse. "You bastard!" He spat. "You couldn’t fight me alone without your guards."
"I could, but you’re beneath me. Hold him steady," Xavier said, opening Gabriel’s shirt to check what wound was making him so weak. "You were stabbed with a holy weapon. You might not make it through the night."
Xavier was surprised that Gabriel wasn’t already dead.
Was his will to see Selene what kept him going?
"It wasn’t worth it for you to come here. If that wife you brought here is the one who stabbed you, you should have gone to the other guards or the palace. Not here to seek pity from Selene. You won’t get it," Xavier said, closing back up Gabriel’s shirt.
Seeing that it was a holy weapon which caused the pain, Xavier didn’t want Gabriel inside the estate. He didn’t know how close Selene needed to be to someone to heal them, and there was something to enjoy about Gabriel slowly dying from the mistake he had made.
"You’re wrong. Cassandra didn’t do this to me," Gabriel said, speaking the truth.
It was a man he didn’t know, so Xavier was making a wrong guess.
Gabriel was also puzzled as to how Xavier came to think Cassandra would be the one to injure him with a holy weapon. What had led Xavier to assume this? What did Xavier know about Cassandra that anyone else did not know?
Gabriel now believed Xavier was aware Cassandra was one of the enemies of the kingdom all along, but he did nothing to warn him.
In Gabriel’s eyes, Xavier’s hatred for him should not be more than finding out who was killing vampires. Xavier should have some of the blame concerning Cassandra.
