After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Chapter 109

Before she had the chance to even process, talk less respond to the text she has received, a sudden hand on her shoulder startled her. "Sony I'm late." The voice apologized.

Her body suddenly became alert and she nearly snapped her head around to view the owner of the hand who stepped beside her. "Damn you Riley!" She hissed.

The man chuckled at her reaction, removing his hand from her shoulder.

"My, my, you really are mad, aren't you?" He joked and pulled the chair opposite her and seated down.

"You think? Anastasia asked sarcastically and shook her head, hastily burying her phone inside her purse. "What took you so long?"

"I was stuck in traffic, had a meeting and all that jazz, Lloyd waved his hand dismissively. "Now, how about we order?

Anastasia so wanted to take him up on his words, traffic and all, but today, no recently, she wasn't really in the mood to play cat and mouse, mote so after seeing the text message she had just gotten. Remembering it for a moment was enough to have her fingers curlying around the table cloth.

In down, it might just be a prank. She told herself while Lloyd raised his hand and beckoned the waitress over.

"Two glasses of lemonade and uh," He paused to glance at Anastasia, who was still looking somewhat distracted. "Anastasia, you hungry?"

"Huh?"

"Food, are you hungry? Lloyd questionedquestioned, watching as she blinkes a handful of times as if too think deeply about his simple question before shaking her head. "Oh, uh, no.

Lloyd nodded his head and ordered two plates of pasta, handing the waitress the menu and sending her off.

"Are you okay?" He asked once they were alone.

"Yes, of course." Anastasia said.

Lloyd didn't believe her, but saw no reason to push on. He had simple asked out of courtesy, so, whether she really was okay or not, wasn't really any of his business. "Okay then, shall we get started?" He asked, clapping his hands together and smiling.

"Yeah, we should." Anastasia replied. "So, you have a plan or not?"

At her question, Lloyd brought out his phone and placed it on the table, sliding it to her. "Here, is operation memory recovery."

Anastasia took the phone and glanced at the screen. The moment she did, she couldn't help but frown.

"This is just a list of random activities."

*Exactly." Lloyd smiled, clearly proud. "The best way to help one recover their memory is to do activities they're familiar with. Says medical research."

"Medical research?" Anastasia repeated, her frown growing deeper.

"Yup." Lloyd said, popping the 'P. "I looked it up."

Anastasia shook her head and handed the phone back to him. "Look, I don't know what the hell you're thinking, but, there is no way Gabriel's memory can be treated with a bunch of random activities. You need a professional and a plan. A good one." Lloyd grumbled underneath his breath, annoyed by the fact that Anastasia was shooting down his plan.

"Alright then," He said, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the chair. "How do you propose we handle this?"

"How do I propose? This is your idea, you brought me out here because you had an idea to help my best friend and her son, my godson, but well, from the looks of it, you've got nothing"

Lloyd didn't seem too pleased with her answer and his frown deepened.

"Well, if you've got a better plan, speak up."

At his words, Anastasia opened her mouth, ready to speak. Only, she paused and closed it.

She had a plan, well, kind of,

She wasn't sure it her idea would work, or if it was a good idea, but, it was better than nothing

"I do "She spoke

"Really?" Lloyd asked, raising a brow. "Care to share it?"

"Gladly." Anastasia said, leaning forward and flashing a smirk.

"Alright, let's hear it."

"The key to regaining lost memories is to make the person relive their old days. So, if Gabriel is going to regain his memories, he needs to relive his old life."

Lloyd seemed to have been thinking over her words, nodding his head a few times.

"Okay," He said. "So what's the plan?"

Gabriel needs to live with Leonica," She painfully admitted, cringing at the thought and the thought of her friend's face if she were to suggest something like this to her. ay, I'm all for that."

Walt," Anastasia raised her hand. "You are?

Lloyd nodded his head. "Why wouldn't I? If living with his ex wife would help him, why wouldn't I be for it."

"Wow, didn't think you'd actually agree"

"And why's that?" Lloyd asked with a slight pout as he leaned forward on the table.

Anastasia stared at him for a few seconds, seemingly caught in the look in his eyes but after a few seconds, she shook her head and waved her hand dismissively.

"Never mind," She said and glanced away, watching as the waitress approached.

Lloyd on the other hand, watched her, something about the way she has been acting, now avoiding his gaze and all, pricked him. Perhaps it was because no woman, at least the ones he had scored, never did something like this. Maybe it was a sign that she was different. In a good way?

Lloyd couldn't help but scoff at the thought, shaking his head and chuckling, not knowing what else to do.

"Maybe I'm just imagining things.'

With a deep breath, Lloyd sighed.

"Yeah, I probably am."

Two days later, Gabriel was discharged from the hospital, given a few drugs to help with the recovery of small scratches and the stab wound and some to help with his memory, Simply vitamins, nothing too much. Once that was taken care of, his papers of discharge were handed over and after a short conversation Bill left his office

However, on their way out, Gabriel spotted two familiar faces standing outside the hospital, "Hey," He called out.

The two, whom had been conversing turned their heads and the younger one's lips instantly curved into a smile when he saw his father. "Daddy!" Ashley called out and rushed towards him. Gabriel caught him with a grunt, wincing slightly when he felt a sharp pain on his right shoulder.

"How are you champ?" He asked.

"Fine." Ashley answered while his mother's presence looked behind him and soon she placed her hand on his head, ruttling his hair "Hey, you need to be careful. Your dad still needs to recover." She scolded him gently Ashley nodded his head. "I will, mominy.'
