Both their gazes travelled in the direction. Now while ones eyes crinkled I'm confusion, the others became wide with joy. In a few seconds, the boy had jumped off the bench and raced towards the crowd before Gabriel could even react. "Mommy!" He called out as he opened his arms and rushes into the crowd.

The

group of men parted to the sides giving way to the child and in the process, revealing the lady in the center.

Gabriel nearly choked on his saliva when his gaze landed on the woman the child had rushed

into.

"Oh my baby, you nearly gave mommy a heart attack" Leonica said as she bent down and scooped The boy up into her arms, embracing him in a passionate hug.

While from where he stood, Gabriel watched the interaction between supposed mother and son, with an open mouth.

Act Fast Free Bonus Time is Running Out!

His Child Is...Alive?!

With Mouth hanging open and eyes widening far beyond their capacity, Gabriel watched the scene in front of him play out like a sitcom.

Except it wasn't some channel television, it was real.

Leonica was a mother.

"Why did you leave the doctor's appointment, Ash?" Leonica, despite the scolding tone she had, pecked the young bow on his forehead. "Are you aware of how worried mommy was?" She asked, loud enough for Gabriel to hear, Indeed confirming his thoughts. That child belonged to Leonica...

But hadn't she said that she had aborted the baby five years ago?

So whose child was this?

Someone else's?

Not possible. The Boy, Ash as she had called him, had referred to her as his mother and she to herself as his mother.

So it was clear to him that This boy, Ash, was her child, so did that mean...she had another

child with another man?

The thought, as unusual as it was to pass Gabriel's mind, caused a storm of emotions to unleash inside, the strongest ones present being anger and confusion.

For some reason, just like when he had gotten home and learnt of her disappearance five years ago, Gabriel refused to accept the situation as it was. Unlike five years ago, he needed answers. And answers he was going to get.

Placing one foot forward, Gabriel had taken a defining step, mind set on confronting Leonica, when he suddenly felt a hand latch onto his upper arm from behind. Instantly, he whipped his head around, freezing the moment his eyes met with Angelina's

"Gabe, there you are. What took you so long?" She questioned innocently, tilting her head and body weight, which was being supposed by a crutch, to the side. Seeing her face, the make recalled the reason why he had visited the hospital in the first place foregoing it after having ran into the child.

"Were you lost?" She questioned his silence. "Well that's fine, I'm here now. Let's go to my room." She offered.

Gabriel was reluctant. No matter how much he tried to not let it show, it was clear on his face. that instead of going with his finacèè, he'd much rather stay her and question his ex wife from five years ago

Angelina sensed this, thought not sure what was bringing about this new reluctance of his,
