Chapter 53 The Truth Revealed.
"From here on out, subsequent treatments would be carried out to endure the boy has a speedy recovery and for that to happen," Doctor Bailey glanced down at the clipboard in his hand, reading through the words of his superior, or better yet, the person who had carried out the operation and examination on Ashley, before facing Leonica, who was eagerly awaiting his continuation. "The hospital needs the boy’s biological father to sign an agreement and be brought in for an examination."
As the last of those words rolled off his tongue, Leonica’s expression flat out fell.
"What?"
"An examination needs to be carried out on the boy’s biological father, as well as he signing agreements approving the treatment. Your signature of course would also be needed." Doctor Bailey explained once more, unaware of the effects his words were having on Leonica.
Ashely’s father...oh cheery fucking Christmas.
First her son gets into an accident and now she has to involve his freaking father.
Just the thought of that alone made dread wash over Leonica.
But then again, if she didn’t involve his father, then that would mean Ashley’s life and health would be put at risk and eventually he could...
The unspoken possibilities made Leonica’s chest tighten and her eyes fluttered several times. Releasing a shaky breath, she tried to compose herself, but just as she took a step back, her knees buckled.

“Hey, hey Pull yourself together.” Gabriel tried putting her back on her feet, arms wrapped around her waist.
