After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

Gabriel's expression remained neutral as he stared at her, but on the inside, he was actually quite glad that she had cared enough to

bring the matter up.

"Work's been hectic."

His excuse was so feeble that it had Leonica chuckling. "Has it now?"

Gabriel remained silent, keeping his mouth glued almost as if he was scared that if he opened his mouth to speak, he'd reveal the fact that he had only been staying away from the treatment because he didn't want to remember all the awful things he had done to Leonica. Leonica couldn't read his expression at that moment, but she could tell something was bothering him. Not that she cared. "Go for your treatment, Gabriel." She said and walked away, leading Ashley out of the hospital.

Once she was gone, Gabriel sighed.

Leonica fell into her bed the moment she returned home. Exhaustion was eating away at her, both mental and physical.

"Ugh, I'm tired." She groaned and buried her face in her pillow.

For a moment, she allowed herself to think about what Doctor Bailey had told her.

She couldn't let her son down.

She wouldn't!
