My Emotionless Goddess

Stacy hated this type of girl the most. Looking at her fake worry, Stacy felt disgusted. ” I don’t remember asking your opinion Cassy.” Doctor Rose spoke coldly and from that conversation, Stacy could tell that the doctor was not fond of the lady. She must have seen through her cover. Cassy felt wronged but could only grit her teeth in hatred. If it was not for Gabriel, she would not tolerate this old hag but she could only suppress her anger and reply sweetly. ” Aunt, I am just worried about Gabriel. As his fiancee, am I not allowed to worry.” she said loud enough for Stacy to her while emphasising the word fiance. she had to let this bitch know that Gabriel was her man. How could doctor Rose not know what the scheming woman intended to achieve by saying that? she felt more repulsed for even staying in the same room as her. But she could not do anything. That was a decision made by elders and her husband seemed to be indulgent of this conniving bitch but she will never allow this kind of woman to enter into her family not to mention be married to her son.

” Fiance or not, you don’t have the right to offer your opinion to me and besides, Gabriel will be the one to decide who to marry.” Doctor Rose said bluntly, not bothering to coat her words. The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned heavy and Stacy, who had been quiet all this time, decided to break the silence. ” I will go get you something to drink.” she said and without wasting any second, walked out of the room leaving the two in the room. She walked to the pantry shop and ordered two cups of coffee and some snacks before requesting them to be sent to the room. She figured out she had to give the mother and son some time alone so she proceeded to her office. hours later, Stacy was walking towards Gabriel’s room when her cellphone rang . Her expression changed after the person on the other end of the line spoke. She then turned back and walked away hurriedly. She had an emergency surgery to do. she turned at the end of the hallway and took the last glance at Gabriel’s room and left. She hoped the surgery would not take long and she would still see him.

Gabriel opened his eyes and felt a hand placed in his. At first he thought it was Stacy’s but was disappointed when he found it was not her. He then withdrew his hand as if he was burned jolting awake. When he woke up and found another woman holding his hand, he suddenly felt like he was doing something wrong so the reflex action of withdrawing his hand. ” Gab, you are awake?” her shrill voice echoed in the room forcing doctor Rose who was taking a nap to forcefully open her eyes. she was displeased by the woman’s lack of manners. She wanted to scold her but seeing her son awake, she forgot about it and walked to her son’s side. ” Are you feeling better?” she asked and Gabriel just looked at her puzzled. He was tongue tied and could not say anything. ‘` What? you don’t want to see me anymore?’ Doctor Rose asked, feigning a hurt expression on her face, making Gabriel immediately shake his head. Although he rarely talked, he never failed to answer his mother. ” Where is stacy?” Gabriel found himself asking. He wondered where she could have gone. ” She left when we arrived. She seemed tired of taking care of you and couldn’t wait to ditch you at the first chance she got.”Cassy answered without giving Gabriel’s mother to say anything.

Although that answer was in his imagination, it still hurt to hear it. It didn’t help that Cassy said it so blatantly as if she was insulting him for being stupid. What was he expecting? That she would stay by his bed awaiting him to wake up? She had another man in her life so she didn’t need him. With a heavy heart, Gabriel looked up to his mother and said.” I want to leave.” His voice was full of finality. He couldn’t stay here any longer and keep having thoughts about her much less see her and remember what they have been doing for the past few days they stayed together.

He would not deny it, those were the most beautiful days of his life. It was the only time he felt wanted, it doesn’t matter if she was using him. He gladly let her use him but not anymore. He could feel the attachment developing towards her, something he never felt even to his closest family members. Looking at her son’s pained expression, doctor Rose knew that he was hurt. ” Are you sure? Ain’t you going to wait for her and say goodbye?” His mother probed. Actually, she felt bad for his son. Growing up, he never had anyone to accompany him except for the maids. Her husband and her were busy with their careers neglecting their son. He then became an autistic child not to mention the disaster that befall him years ago. After he was rescued, he became more alienated from other people and would stay in his room reading or be working non-stop in his laboratory. It was the first time she ever saw him do something else apart from locking himself experimenting and inventing.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

” No need. I want to go back.” He replied and his mother could only marvel at how Many words he managed to utter in a span of one minute. But, something felt wrong here! Why did it sound like he was purposely trying to avoid Stacy? Did something happen that she’s not aware of? Doctor Rose wondered but knew that asking the Man would yield no results so she gave up. They were not that close as mother and son and doctor Rose knew that it was all her fault. ‘If only we could turn back time, I would never have chosen my career over my son.’ she lamented inwardly but what’s done is done, nothing could undo it.
