Upon aring at the of Gabriel's physical examination, she was shocked that he didn't make any effort to speak to her. He had only stare "I think you're in the wrong room, Mx" sigital and wallong in da string in her beart.
Gabriel, the Gabriel the knotems, was Three months ago, Leonica would have killed to hear those exact swords and watch Gabriel stare at her with those exact. familiar eyes, but that was three months and now wes now, the present and hearing those words, pulled i "Gabriel" she had begun, still finding it hard to belive Doctor Belley's words. For sreason, the bel just too much of a tough nut to allow something like a memory lose happen to him.
That bellef however, was shartered the moment the patient in his bed narrowed looking suspiciously at her. "Pardon me, but do 1, know you? That question and the way he spoke, very different from his usual aloof and arrogent mannenim, caused the flood gates of reality to burst: Leonica A sense of redization that meetly caused Leonica to snap Thankfully Doctor Bailey had stepped in before that, cautiously guiding her out of the room before she could do anything unbefitting to a recovering patient. He then began to explain everything, bringing Leonice to the current twhere she stood outside of her ex husband's hospital ward, staring at him through the glass dvider on the door.
"He recalls the basic things, like his name, age and relatives," Doctor Bailey continued to explain Leonica looked away, focusing her attention bark on him when Gabriel had looked at her through the glass divider.
"But?" She questioned his pause.
Doctor Balley seemed to hesitate. "he doesn't seem to recall incidents that have happened in the recent years.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFigures, Leonica thought as she recalled how Gabriel has acted like a total strangers towards her. Someone who had been on about winning her heart back and eaming her forgiveness wouldn't go on and do shit like that, not after all the effort he had put in.
*So, is there any chance of him recovering those memories?" She questioned, wishing to distract herself from the disturbing thoughts that sipped into her mind at the fact that Gabriel had forgotten things from ten years ago, she and their son included "The chances are slim, but not nonexistent." Doctor Gabriel informed and followed Leonica's gaze when she looked back in Gabriel's direction. "I've handed cases like this, Ms. Romero and nearly all of the patients recovered their memories." He explained, hoping to sooth the tramoms secretly hiding In Leonica's eyes. "Nearly all, what about those who don't" Leonica said, more to herself then to the doctor beside her.
But he heard it but remained silent.
"Well," Leonica began after heaving a sigh. "Doctor, what can we do to help with the recovery process if there would be one." She muttered the last "The usual, take things slow with him. Take him to places that may help jog his memory, recount familiar events, but of course all these shouldn't put too much strain on his mind, else we can be looking at a case of permanent memory loss." Leonica nodded her head as he explained and looked back in Gabriel's direction, only to see that he was no longer on the bed. At once, her mind panicked and she grabbed onto the door handle, sliding it open in a bid to location him. But just as the door copen and she took the first step in, she ctice to face with the sman she had searches for seconds ago.
The sudden closeness Between them had Leonica stepping backwards in a bid to put much needed distance between them.
Gabriel silently watched her all the while, as she steppes back, adjusted her, unintentionally, he took into account by the way she riddles with then once, and then finally cleared her throat. Only then did she meet his gaze.
o you. Do you need something?" Leonica asked, cursing herself for stuttering. She hasn't stuttered when Gabriel was well Gabriel, alot, arrogant and all, so why was she stuttering now and making a mess of herself? If this was the chance she had gotten for a second first impression, then she might just as well kiss it goodbye. Gabriel remained silent at her question, studying her. Something about her face seemed familiar, like he had seen it somewhere That must have been it, he concluded, seeing as he travelled the world a lot and had mot many girls with blonde white hair just like hers.
With the more pressing matter of his mind out of the way, Gabriel proceeded to answer the question which had been asked.
"If you intend to continue discussing about my health, in front of my room without including me, then I suggest you either leave or cin and includein the conversation." Chis sassy response Leunir a nodded her brad, tongue coming out to wet her lips as she noted the fact that Gabriel was naturally sassy 1. Beyre, I apologies if talking out here made you feel left out. Fonly dad so because I wanted you to get as much rest as possible, before you were Included in the discnsion" Deeter Haley spoke up I appreciate your concern, Doc, but next time, with matters concerning me, please includeno matter what." "Certainly." Doctor Bailey mustered a nod, still surprised by Gabriel's polite sounding tone. "Then, how about we head inside and all discuss?" He Pigested.
Gabriel's answer cin the form of him stepping out of the way and gesturing for them to both step in. Doctor Bailey obliged and walked in, followed by Leonica, who, as she passed, his nose couldn't help but pick up the soothing smell of roses that surrounded her "Alright, let's take it from the top. The basics." Doctor Bailey said, fixing his attention more on Gabriel, his patient. "Mr. Bryce, could you please tellyour nand age?" Gabriel scoffed, finding the Doctor's words funny. But one look around the room, mainly in Leonica's direction, told him that it was a serious question meant to be answer. "Twenty one." He stated, watching as The doctor and Leonica, as he knew her to be, exchanged looks.
"Mr. Bryce, you are not twenty one, but thirty one." Doctor Bailey informed watching as his brows creased. "A few weeks ago, close to a month ago, you has been involved in a deadly accident. You sustained a deep wound and a concussion at the back of your head. The aftermath, partial amnesia, causing you to forget the events of the past ten years. So, Mr. Bryce you're not twenty one, but in fact thirty one." He explained.
Another funny joke, Gabriel thought as he glanced in between the two people in his room, expecting either of them to tell him that they were pulling his leg and he had simply been hospitalized for a few days after he had almost accidentally drowned, the last thing he recalled.
But after a while, stating back and forth, the room remained silent, *I'll write you sprescriptions that have proven to help aid in memory recovery, but the rest of the work after that, is up to you, depending on if you want to remember and how much you want to remember." He said and glanced at his watch, realizing that he was late for his next appointment. "Seems like I have to take my leave now. I'll send Alana down with the prescription." He said and watched as the only person who knew who Alana is, Leonica being that person, nodded.
*If you'll excusethen" And with that, he was gone, closing the door gently as he rushed off to his next appointment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe room remained silent after he left, but Gabriel moved around, searching for something "What are you looking for?" Leonica questioned.
"My phone. I need to call grandma." His response had Leonica turning tense for a bit. Gabriel was about to call his grandmother, the very sa sgrandmother that has died five years ago.
"Shit, where is it?" Gabriel muttered, unaware of the wheels that were spinning in Leonica's head as she tried to think if a way to tell Gabriel that Lila was no longer alive.
After a while, tin which Gabriel has found what he believes was his phone, Leonica decided to just tackle the situation head on.
""You you shouldn't do that." She said.
"Why not?" Gabriel questioned, trying to think of the password to his phone.
"What could it be?" He thought as he street at the pattem lock. For a second, he contemplated asking Leonica whether she knew, because from the looks of things, she knew him more than he knew himself. "Because...because Grandmother.. Is dead." She was finally able to "What?" He uttered. "What type of a joke is this?" to spit the words out and watched as Gabriel stopped whatever he was doing Leonica shook her head. "No Joke, Gabriel. Grandmother is dead. She died five years ago."
The next half an hour was spent debriefing Gabriel about how things had went with his grandmother. From how her health had suddenly begun to deteriorate shortly after he took over the company, to how she soon lost control of her leg and had been wheeled around one third of the time. Finally to when she becbedridden and soon passed away. Throughout the process of explanation, Gabriel paid close attention, never for once interrupting the process to ask a question. Only when Leonica had concluded did he asked a question that she hasn't expected he'd ask *What are you to me?" She blinked her eyes in confusion. "W
"Who, or what are you to me?" He repeated. "Because from all I've heard, you seem pretty involved my grandmother's life and you don't look like the type to be a healthcare worked assigned for her, which only leaves the option of you being involved with me, somehow." He voiced his observation "s fell tür, who are you tu meka
