Chapter 527: Jealous over nothing
Inside the study, both Gavin and Gabriel were having a serious discussion regarding Doctor Martin.
Two days passed and yet they weren’t able to get anything from him. He seemed to be very careful even though Bianca’s presence did somewhat affect him mentally.
"You think one meeting would be enough. I mean, you said Martin saw Bianca, then why isn’t he reacting" Gavin asked.
Somehow his words did bother Gabriel, however, he wanted to take one step at a time.
"He will make a move. We just have to wait" Gabriel responded.
Gabriel didn’t want to put Bianca’s life in trouble again and not after knowing how Martin forced Bianca to handle a case that was against the hospital policies,
He purposely dragged Bianca into this mess because she rejected him. Like seriously,
’Was he even a man’ Gabriel sneered at his incompetency. He targets a woman just to get back to her.
Gabriel came to find out about Martin’s obsession with Bianca. He wanted to date her but when she refused him, Martin took the rejection to his heart, eventually dragging Bianca into a life-threatening situation.
Bianca had been missing for a while now, yet the man was relaxed.
’Such a jerk!’
Gavin who had been observing Gabriel noticed the hundred different expressions that took place within the span of a few minutes. The mention of Bianca’s name somehow ended up affecting Gabriel’s thoughts.
He might not express it but his reactions said a thousand words.
"Brother are you sure, you are just protecting Bianca and there is nothing else going on in your mind" Gavin’s unexpected words snapped Gabriel out of his thoughts and he shot his eyes at him.
"What do mean?" Gabriel asked with a deep frown.
Gavin saw the change in his expression once again and her that was enough of a confirmation for him.
"I mean, why don’t you let her resume her work? If she happened to be inside the hospital, don’t you think her abductor might come for her sooner than later" Gavin pointed however Gabriel instantly refused him.
"NO!"
"Why! Don’t you think that keeping her here will only extend our search" Gavin mentally smiled, but kept pushing Gabriel’s button.
Gavin could see how protective Gabriel had been towards Bianca. A person who hardly cared for someone started showing signs of worry for a girl whom he met recently.
"I can’t risk her life" Gabriel bluntly declined, glaring at Gavin. The thought of letting Bianca join the hospital bothered Gabriel. He can’t let her be around the man who was after her life.
"But why" Gavin urged and saw the rage inside Gabriel’s eyes falter.
As if his words hit right into his heart, Gabriel fell into a deep thought.
’Why didn’t he want to risk her life’
’Was it because of the promise he made to her or, was it that he had started caring for her’
Gabriel had closed his heart from getting involved with anyone, but thinking about something happening to Bianca troubled him.
The image of her unconscious body resting on the side of the road crossed his mind and his palm balled into a tight fist.
"There’s no specific reason" Gabriel shot back expressing his final decision.
Gavin pursed his lips into a thin line however failed to hide his amusement.
"Okay...okay if that’s what you say"
Gabriel’s face darkened at his laughable reaction and he asked," Did I say something funny"
"No"
"Then why are you smiling" he asked.
Gavin might not know Gabriel that much, but he knows how a person reacts when they refuse to accept their feelings for the one they love.
Gabriel wasn’t an exception either and Gavin realized that he was slowly falling for the girl he decided to give shelter out of agreement, however was aware of it.
"It’s nothing. I just happened to remember my brother" Gabriel furrowed but decided to ignore his smile and focus on the purpose of summoning here.
They knew Sandra was residing in the same city, however, her location was untraceable.
Gabriel remembered Bianca mentioning the man who brought Sandra to the hospital. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see his face as he kept his appearance hidden.
And now he was sure that it wasn’t Sandra who wanted Bianca dead, instead, it was the man who was trying to cut all the leads that would expose them.
"Any progress from your end," Gabriel asked.
"No, not yet. Jenny has been observing Martin’s schedule, however, the outcome is the same" Gavin stated.
Gabriel fell deep into thoughts. Martin had been the prime suspect and even after monitoring him closely, there didn’t seem to be any mistake from his side.
KNOCK KNOCK!
Both Gavin and Gabriel snapped out of their thoughts and turned to look at the door.
"Have you both done yet? The lunch is ready" Bianca said walking inside the study.
After waiting for the two of them to return, Bianca initiated to check on them using lunch as an excuse.
Gabriel looked at Bianca and the moment she saw her smile looking at Gavin, his lips twitched.
"Yes, we are almost done" Gavin replied on their behalf and turned to look at Gabriel only to receive a glare in return.
Bianca noticed the silent exchange of stares between the two before she slowly excused herself.
"Stop smiling like that. Did you forget your girlfriend is waiting for you downstairs" Gabriel remarked washing the smile on Gavin’s face instantly.
The way his expression turned grim after watching her interaction with Bianca, Gavin couldn’t help but grin.
"It’s not like I was flirting with her. It’s you who is getting jealous over nothing" Casually shrugging his shoulder, Gavin got up to leave, however, he stopped at looked back.
"And it somewhat suits you" Gavin winked and walked out of the study leaving Gabriel stunned by his last remark.
’Jealous and he?’
"What nonsense he spouting. Why would I be jealous of him" Gabriel frowned finding his words lame before following him downstairs.
