After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant (Leonica and Gabriel)
Chapter 93

Worthy Enough To Deserve Her Love

"Mr. Bryce and Ms. Romero, I apologize for making such an alarming call, but rests assure, all is well. There's just seems to be a little issue."

"What is it?" Leonica was quick to ask, wanting nothing more than to dump the matter of Gabriel's confession, again, and move on.

"Shall we discuss that in my office?" Doctor Bailey asked and glanced between the two who nodded their head. "Great, This way," He said and pointed towards the direction of his office, about to start walking when he noticed Leonardo following "Oh, and you are?" "Family." Leonica beat the man himself to the punch. "He can come along?"

"Are you sure?" Doctor Bailey asked.

Leonica didn't hesitate to nod. "Yes. Whatever it is you want to tell us, I trust him with it." She said and glanced at Gabriel, waiting him to make an input. He caught her state and the meaning within it, but chooses to remain silent. The words he wanted to say were sure to upset Leonica and he didn't need her getting any angrier at him that she already is all because he didn't like how much she relied on Leonardo. Who was not her blood brother, might point out.

"Very well then. This way please."

Dr. Bailey leads the way to his office. Once they were all in, he motioned for Gabriel and Leonica to take a seat. Leonardo stands a few feet behind, wanting to give them, Gabriel in particular, at least a little bit of privacy.

With every one sited or standing, together in general, Doctor Bailey Began. "Ms. Romero, Mr. Bryce, thank you for coming in. I intended to discuss this privately with you, but it seems otherwise now."

Gabriel shakes his head, waving off the doctor's concern. "It's fine. You can go on ahead."

Doctor Bailey nodded and fished out a brown envelope. While he was busy doing this, Leonica glanced over her shoulder and flashed her brother a smile, which he returned the gesture with a supportive one of his. Gabriel didn't fail to notice the connection between them once again, and a twinge of jealousy crossed his face.

The next second, Doctor Bailey spoke up. "Alright, so the reason why I called you both here is because something in the physical tests from last time caught my attention. In Ms. Romero's test to be precise."

Leonica's eyes narrowed at his announcement. "Something wrong in my test, what is it?"

Doctor Bailey pulled out a white paper from the brown envelope and placed it on the table for all to see. "We've conducted several tests, and unfortunately, it appears that Leonica isn't physically fit for either IUI or IVE."

"What?" Lecnica questioned, not because she needed Doctor Bailey to repeat his words or didn't hear it, as a matter of fact, she heard it loud and clear, too clearly for her to believe and that's why she needed a moment to make sure she had heard the right words, Peches beat to say something else and accidentally twisted his tongue.

Leonardo was more than thankful when be reached a safe distance and Leonica suddenly shot an accusatorily gaze toward Gabriel. Suspicion dripped from her voice as she questioned him. "Is this some kind of trick, Gabriel? She looked back at Doctor Bailey who became confused because of the glare she was sending way. "Ba's in on this with you, isn't he?"

"Don't act so innocent." Leonica snapped. "Your action at Ashley's party was only so you could swoop in and play prince charming rescuing his damsel. You know what my uncle was up to and took advantage of that. Your confession, the flowers you sent, God I can't believe I almost fell for that stupid

She chuckled but it sounded anything from happy. "You did all that because you wanted to have the perfect reason to make Doctor Bailey tell ma

(Ouch, Leonice thought once hearing what she believes had been the obvious truth, come out of her own mouth. It should have been so clear since the very beginning. There was no way Gabriel could have fallen in love with her so quickly. He was only doing this entire bullshit to that she could bear mone children for him give him more heirs to run his dumb company.

Taking a second, she blamed herself for being a fool and allowing even five percent of Gabriel's words get to her. She shouldn't have watched that press conference, she shouldn't have kept that damn flower basket, she shouldn't have listened to his dumb confession out in the lobby and she sure as hell shouldn't have hoped thar Gabriel fucking Bryce would change.

Because in the end, it was only her getting hurt by those thoughts.

Those very same thoughts and feelings that nearly drove her over the edge live years ago.

"You're el Gabriel." She muttered white shaking her head. Taking a second, she swallowed thickly. "I get that you, don't love me and just see me as someone that could be discarded," As she spoke, Gabriel slowly shook his head, but she paid no attention to him and continued on. "But did you ever for once think of Ashley. Is dl these," She pointed between Doctor Bailey and him. "really for him, or your selfish desires?"

"Leonica stop. You're misunderstanding everything" Gabriel tried to explain
