"Yes," said Xeno.
Out of habit, Gabriel reached into his pocket for a cigarette. However, he found nothing. His voice betrayed his slight frustration as he said, "Do you know what would have happened if I had been a step late?"
Although Caleb and Xeno were not present, it wasn't too difficult to imagine what the situation looked like at that time, especially after Caleb witnessed the injury on Gabriel's leg.
Xeno remained silent as Gabriel's cold eyes watched him. "She would have died."
"This has nothing to do with my sister," said Xeno after taking a deep breath.
"Xeno Lewis." Gabriel was calm as he slowly enunciated Xeno's name and looked at the latter sternly. "I don't think you have experienced anything similar to what I did before so you might not understand. But know this, if anything had happened to my wife, it would not end with just Diana Lewis leaving her company."
