Unexpected Encounter: They Were Meant To Be Together

783 Gavin's Story

Ashton frowned and curiously inquired, "But didn't you say that you think your so-called brother is the killer."

"Because Gavin is his brother," Mian snapped.

Yinhai widened his eyes in shock and stuttered, "So that lunatic brother of yours whose ass you always save is a doctor? Holy crap, how did he even become one?" Not only were Ashton and Yinhai shocked but they were horrified. They were having a really hard time believing that a crazy man like Gavin was actually in a profession where lives were saved.

Narrowing her eyes, Mian scoffed, "I knew something was off between you and Gavin, now will you tell us what is exactly happening? Why is your brother going around murdering pregnant women and stealing the fetus for no good reason?"

"He is not my brother, we aren't related by blood." Nathan fumed, he always hated it when everyone called Gavin his brother but there was nothing he could do about it. He was forced to accept him as his brother because fate and the situation left him with no other choice.

Pausing for a while, he continued, "My father brought Gavin home when he was twelve, my father was one of the charity members of an orphanage in Florida. He loved making donations and helping the kids of the orphanage in every possible way but something happened and they had to abolish the orphanage. Each and every kid got adopted except for one so my dad brought him home and he started living with us."

Pinching his brows, Nathan sighed, "I always tried to talk to Gavin, be friends with him because dad wanted me to make him feel like home but he always gave me a cold shoulder and never played or talked to. He would just sit in a corner drawing something in his diary, it was very strange. In fact, everything about him was strange so I decided to avoid him. I avoided Gavin for nine years but something happened which forced me to leash him in my life."

Sitting on the bench, he continued, "My father met with an accident which damaged both his kidneys, the doctor told us that if we do not find a donor within twenty-four hours, he won't make it. I wanted to be the donor but they told me that our kidneys don't match, I was distressed because no matter how much money I offered, I couldn't find a donor in such a short notice. I was about to give up when Gavin showed up and offered to donate a kidney if it matched." Helpless shaking his head, Nathan chuckled, "And guess what, it did match and he saved my father's life but unfortunately after the operation, my father's body did not accept the new kidney very well and he died."

Balling his hand into a fist, he fumed, "Before dying, he made me promise that I must take care of Gavin and always be grateful to him. At that time even I felt very guilty, though my father did not survive, Gavin still selflessly gave up something that even family members sometimes don't so I promised myself to always take care of him."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Nathan continued, "Gavin wasn't like this in the past, yes he did act a bit weird but that seemed very normal to me because he had always been like that. Things slightly changed after father's death, he started talking to me more and behaving very normally. I found it weird but I shrugged it off thinking that he wanted to finally open up. I never thought that he was not normal or mentally unsound because his academic results were fantastic and he was pursuing medicals in scholarship. I mean imagine, he was so good that he got a scholarship in one of the best medical schools in NYC but things started turning weird when one day he approached me saying that he blew up a lab in Rether street while performing an experiment, he wanted my help to clean up the mess. I thought that it was just a normal accident so I helped him out."

Scrunching his brows, he frowned, "But after that, he started approaching me every now and then with a different problem."

Cutting him off, Zian frowned and snapped, "And you kept helping him?"

"I had no other choice, his psychiatrist asked me to." Pinching his brows, Nathan explained further. "When I started getting tired of all the helping, I turned him down once and he tried to commit suicide which scared the shit out of him. I took him to the psychiatrist for counselling because I thought that he really needed one. Later the doctor told me that Gavin isn't mentally sound and maybe it's because something tragic happened to him. I had no idea what had happened in the first half of his childhood and how he ended up in an orphanage so I did some digging and found out that Gavin was an infant who was found in a garbage tank by the local people. Apparently his mom was a teenager who got pregnant out of wedlock and wasn't ready to take responsibilities of a baby at such a young age so she just left him."

"But if he was an infant when he was abandoned by his mother, how does he know that he was—"

"The other boys from the orphanage used to call him 'The garbage guy', they used to tease him saying that his mother left him because he stinks like garbage so I assume that he found out from there. Anyway, so the doctor advised me to be very careful with him because it was a really sensitive case. Gavin was under heavy medications but that still didn't stop him from pursuing medicals and also getting merit grades. So to keep everything under control, I kept helping him which is the biggest mistake I have ever committed."
