Gabriel explained. But for the look on Leonica's face, be could tell that she

will doubted everything he had just said, now and before. "I swear on grandmother's grave, none of those things were my intention. Please, believe

me." He added in a much softer tone, making the last of his words come off sounding like a plea

And it was,

Hearing that he had sworn on Lila's grave, Grondea couldn't help but believe that Gabriel's assurances were genuine. She knew how much he loved the woman and lived by her, lying on her grave would be the same thing as going against everything he stood for and Gabriel would much rather fight the world than go against everything he stood for.

Although his words had brought on a weird wave of reassurance to Leonica, she couldn't help but feel fate was playing a cruel game with her heart. One second it was looking Like Gabriel was regretting his actions and trying to repent, making her heart, more than her mind, have this stupid and sick thought that there might actually be a chance for them, if he truly changed. But then the very next second, fate was portraying him as the antagonist of her story, breaking down those sick thoughts her heart had even dared to harbor. Tines like that was when she felt truly grateful, because she was reminded of what Gabriel had done to her and once again given another reason not to even consider going back to him.

But this time however, something was different. What was different? Was it his expression or the fact that his words had sounded like he was desperately trying to convince her to believe him. Or was it the fact that he had sworn on Lila's grave to everything being true, even his confession. Did that then mean that he was really in love with her?

Leonardo, who had been silently observing the exchange from a comer close to the door, finally spoke up, cutting through the tension with a sharp question. "Mast Leonica have the child with the original father of Ashley?"

Gabriel's head snapped in the male's direction and he glared at him with clenched jaw at the implication of his question. The doctor however, saw no red flag with the question asked and unbeknownst of how much the question enraged Gabriel, he answered carefully, "Theoretically, a child of the original parents would have the best chance of success. However,"

Ah, there goes the 'however, Gabriel thought as he closed his eyes and sighed, knowing very well that he wasn't going to like the doctor's next words.

No thanks to Leonardo.
