Chapter 57 His Compensation.
Gabriel shook his head. "For now, no."
"Understood." Bill said, bidding His employer goodbye seconds before ending the call.
Now standing alone in the hospital’s hallway, Gabriel briefly replayed the entire day’s event in his head and sighed. Twenty four hours and a whole Hella lot had happened.
If his life were to be animated into one of those weird My story animated videos that Angelina forced him to watch almost weekly, Gabriel was a hundred percent sure that their viewers would call it a bluff, make believe even.
The thought made him chuckle quietly to himself. However, the sound died amidst the sound of approaching footsteps. Turning his head gently to the side, Gabriel’s expression quickly became dark the moment he spotted Arvan walking down the hallway, Daisy tagging along at his side.
"What are you doing here?" He questioned the male as soon as the duo of father and daughter had gotten within hearing range.
"Where’s Leonica?" Arvan was quick to fire his own question, evading Gabriel’s own.
Seeing him play smart, Gabriel’s hands clenched at the side and his aura flared. However, Arpan stared at him with a nonchalant expression, unfazed by whatever trope he was trying to put up. He wouldn’t be standing in the spot of Senate if be tucked his tail between his legs and fled each time some glared at him.
But that aside, he genuinely had nothing to be running from. Gabriel’s imagination was a wild place a d whatever he was thinking, was in fact not the reason why Arvan was here. Like every normal adult involved in the unfortunate incident, Arvan truly felt guilty about what had happened during the short time he bad taken his gaze off The children. He wanted to apologize, in person, but wasn’t sure if he was actually welcomed at the hospital. That’s when his princess in shining armor swooped in.
Daisy, like the angel she is, had been extremely worried about Ashely and pleaded times without number that the pay him a visit. And who was Arvan to say no.
So, here they were, but Gabriel obviously didn’t know that and thought the worst the moment he asked after Leonica.
