Gabriel had no other option.
I know people think Gabriel took the coward’s way out by sacrificing himself with the wish, but he had no other option because he would have died anyway regardless of whether he made the wish or not.
By wishing for Nathalie to be cured from her illness, he made sure that there was someone who could take care of Adrien.
Gabriel’s parents are nice people, but they live outside of Paris and probably wouldn’t be interested in living in mansion; due to their disdain for the rich elite.
Emelie’s parents, particularly her father are elitist snobs, who probably would have treated Adrien the same way they treated Emelie and Amelie.
