The mention of Gabriella left everyone in stunned silence. Hearing their mother reveal the real reason behind Gabbro's return to Devon City after years of living abroad shocked many, especially Gabriella. She had always thought her father had little interest in her—he was never vocal, barely spoke to her. But now, learning that she was the reason for the entire Gabbro household's return made her realize that her father might actually care. Perhaps Gabbro did have some concern for her after all.
"Gabriella, my child," Lilith said, turning to Gabriella with a newfound desperation. She realized that Gabriella might be the only one who could change Gabbro's mind. Hadn't Gabriella managed to sway Gabbro's decisions before? "I've raised you. You wouldn't want to see your mother leave, would you? Please, talk to your father and convince him to let us stay."
