Gabriel returned to his father's home expecting good news about his mother's state. She might be human, but Gabriel knew his mother was strong enough to pull through something like this. Her story in this world wasn't written to come to an end like this.
When Gabriel entered the home, it was almost in the same state as he had left it but something was off.
The servants avoided his gaze as if something tragic had happened. The further he walked into the home, Gabriel realised it wasn't as he left it. The mood had changed.
This caused Gabriel to rush to see Lucinda.
Before he could enter the room, Gabriel bumped into Cassandra. Her teary eyes and heartbroken appearance gave away his fears were true.
Gabriel tried not to pay attention to the noises in the home as then he would have to acknowledge he couldn't hear his mother breathing anymore. It had been faint earlier but at least he had heard it.
