Chapter 54 Tampered Results.
"And that should round up the last of our examinations." Doctor Bailey announced as he stuffed the last of Gabriel’s blood samples into a test tube and had it properly secured. Grabbing a clipboard, he nudged it in Gabriel’s direction. "Now, all you have to do is sign here, here and here," He pointed at the different places, even having to flip the paper over at some point. "To prove that you gave your consent and permission for the treatments Ashely is going to be receiving."
Gabriel rolled down the last of his sleeves and fixed his wrist buttons, before he reached for the clipboard and offered pen. Taking a brief moment to read through it, he lifted the pen and penned down his signature on the places Doctor Bailey had pointed to, after which he returned the clipboard to the waiting doctor.
"Perfect!" Doctor Bailey exclaimed as he received the signed agreement, tucking the pen in his coat pocket. "That’s all for now. If anything were to come up, I’ll be sure to contact you. You can leave."
Nodding at his words, Gabriel hoped off the bed and exited the examination room.
’Well, that’s one hurdle out of the way,’ he thought, his face however scrunching up when he recalled he had to have a serious talk with Leonica.
But not like he was running away, or even thinking of doing something like that. That serious talk, needed to happen. For God’s sake, who hides the identity of ones son away and even go as far as lying to their face? Tampering with medical test and records?
To what extend exactly was she willing to go just to keep him away from his own child?
And more importantly, why was she going to such lengths?
As if on cue with his thoughts, Leonica’s crying face, when Doctor Bailey had requested Ashely’s father- him- be brought in, flashed in his mind, halting his footsteps.
It was because of him. She had hidden their son away because of...him?
Did she really hate him that much?
