"I'm going to take Ashley and leave. And this time, you'll never find us. So you better wake up soon if you don't want that to happen." She whispered and hung her head, chuckling wistfully at the fact that she was talking to someone who couldn't even respond Why won she suddenly becoming more stupid at heart with the days that passes by? Three days had passed and Gabriel's condition remained unchanged. Seated in a cale with Owen, Leonica drank her coffee with little to no interest.

Either Leonica didn't like the fact that someone could so easily read her expression or the fact that Owen had spoken about Gabriel's condition, whichever one of the two it had been, suddenly caused her to feel irritated. "Why did you callhere, Owen?" She snapped.

"What do you mean why did I call you here?" He asked. "Can't hang out with my friend, who has barely talked tofor the past three days." "I don't feel like talking. Now if you don't have anything better to say to me, I might just as well take my leave." She said and was just about to stand up when Owen brought out a small envelope and placed it on the table, passing it to her, "What's this?" She questioned. "A commission letter from Doctor La Croix and her team. I pulled a few strings and they agreed to take a look at Gabriel's condition. Help him to the best of their abilities." Owen explained.

"Oh," Leonica was stunned speechless. She had been trying to contact Amelie La Croix and her team for days but had failed. How cOwen was able to? She thought as she opened the letter and read through it confirming that it was indeed true. "You're a life savor." She said and looked up at him, the first smile in three days making its appearance on her lips.

Owen couldn't help but mirror the smile, and for a second, he felt a bit bitter about the fact that the smile wasn't meant for him "I'm always here to save your ass, so you better remember that." He teased, his words earning him a chuckde.

"I will, and I'll always be there to save yours." She countered.

"You better," Owen said and watched as her eyes shifted back to the envelope, the smile disappearing the moment they did.

"Why do you love him? He blurted out, the sudden question catching Leonica off guard.

She looked at him with a confused gaze. "What?" "Why do you love him?" Owen repeated. "Because I'm trying to understand. From what I've seen so far, all Gabriel has done is make your life a living. hell, yet you still choose to stick with him even when you don't." Chuckling, Leonica placed the letter down. "I think you're mistaking. I don't love him." ""You don't?" "Nope." "Then why did you save him?""" "Cause, that's what people who are good are supposed to do, right?" Leonica replied. "They're supposed to help those in need, and I know for a fact that Gabriel's a person who's in need of help. So I helped." "So you're telling me, that if someone else had been in the house, instead of Gabriel, you would have gone and save them, regardless of who they were." Owen challenged, but before she had the chance to answer, her phone began to ring. Picking it up, her eyes widened in panic the moment she saw the non the screen.
