Chapter 792: Gabrio Extra 7
Gabrio’s days were once again the uneventful but full and busy days when he had not seen the Allyces.
Nor did Alaric seek him out again, which, to his satisfaction, he did.
He likes a quiet, uneventful life.
Every weekend morning, a regular phone call home, followed by an appointment with the rehabilitation doctor and an afternoon trip to the beach to let loose.
When I’m busy, I don’t have time to do it during the day, so I have to do it at night.
Sometimes he sits on the beach for a while.
All his free time is spent inside the laboratory.
He is handsome, capable, dedicated and seems stable, and always has a smile on his face when he meets someone, so naturally everyone takes a liking to him.
As time went on, some of the veterans of the Institute became enthusiastic and started introducing people to him.
Gabrio has gone to see a few when he could not refuse.
The veterans introduced him to very nice and beautiful girls, and Gabrio was a gentleman and polite, and all the girls were very impressed with him.
But in the end it all came to nothing.
The elders who presented themselves to Gabrio were very curious to know that none of them had worked out.
As a result, the girls unanimously responded that they wanted a boyfriend who cared for them and loved them, not a drilling machine that was only interested in medical research.
Gabrio is a gentleman, and since he has agreed to meet, he doesn’t cast shadows or say bad words on a blind date.
He calmly explained: “One thing I think I should say up front is that I work a lot and I keep my phone calls to my parents to ten minutes a week, so if we’re together, by New Year’s Eve, or if you’re sick and in hospital and in trouble, I can never be the first one there, and I’m sorry.
All the girls who were in love with him and heard him say this acted very generously, but then backed out after spending some time together.
Gabrio doesn’t hold out his hand to the girl, the girl holds out her hand to him.
I asked him to watch a film and he arrived after the film was over, reasoning that he was working on an experiment and could not leave in the middle of it.
When invited to dinner, he ordered takeaway food directly for the other person, claiming that he did not have time to go out for dinner.
Blah, blah, blah, a lot of things.
Both young girls with expectations of love and sensual women close to Gabrio’s age, although they all liked Gabrio, had to give up in the end.
Gabrio’s lifelong commitment is a source of anxiety for everyone at the Institute.
One of the people most anxious about him was his assistant.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
For his assistant, and Alaric had come to the point of talking about marriage.
The assistant is smart when it comes to work, but when it comes to relationships, he is a stick in the mud.
He always thought that if he had been with Alaric, Gabrio might not have remained a bachelor either.
Gabrio knew what was going through his mind and found it somewhat amusing and thought the boy was too out of it to turn his head.
At lunchtime, he asked his assistant to go to a coffee.
The assistant sat in front of Gabrio as if he were a high school student being spoken to by the school principal for early love.
He called out with some restraint: “Dr. Ortis. ”
Gabrio looked at him with a kind face: “Have you decided on the date of your wedding with Miss Salguero? When do you plan to send me the invitations?
“He’s getting ready. The assistant looked at Gabrio with some surprise.
“Don’t forget to give my invitation when you do.”
“Good”.
It wasn’t until the two were back in the lab that the assistant spoke again about the purpose of Gabrio’s coffee date.
“The assistant and Alaric were married during Golden Week in November.
Gabrio took a rare half-day off to go to his wedding reception.
The assistant and Alaric toasted at their table at a time when Alaric had a surprised look on his face.
Although he had seen very little of Gabrio over the years, he called out of habit: “Cousin?
Gabrio looked at her with a smile and raised his glass: “I wish you a hundred years of happiness”.
Alaric looked at the smile on his face and blinked slightly, it was probably the only smile he had seen from Gabrio’s heart since he had known him.
Gabrio is sincerely blessed.
Lovers who are truly united deserve the most sincere blessings.
Inexplicably, the little intention in Alaric’s heart disappeared with this smile from Gabrio.
On his way out, he met Neto and Lucila.
His daughter, who has just turned one, is babbling and learning to talk, pinches Neto’s legs and tries to walk, shouting out, “Daddy, daddy, daddy” …”
The smile on Neto’s face never ceased as he leaned over, holding her carefully and refusing to let go, fearing she would fall, his mouth whispering, “Darling, are you taking it easy, or should Daddy hold her?
Neto let go of his daughter’s hand when she could not free herself and cried.
As soon as he let go, the diminutive figure reacted quickly, turning in Gabrio’s direction.
At first, she walked very steadily and her short legs were swift, and Gabrio smiled as he watched her advance towards him.
How nice.
When she was almost in front of Gabrio, she began to stagger. Gabrio feared she might fall, so she knelt down and reached out to help her, only to have the small mass of people jump straight into her arms, their mouths drooling and shouting loudly, “Daddy daddy daddy …”.
Neto, who came behind, was full of black lines: “Baby, look here, this is the daddy”.
He reached out to retrieve his daughter, only for her to cling to Gabrio and not let go.
It was then that Neto saw that the person holding his daughter was Gabrio.
He was a little stunned for a moment, and seeing that his daughter refused to get off Gabrio, he dropped the daddy-slave stance, and with a tone of apology in his voice, his eyes fell on his daughter with eyes of love, “Now she understands us and she’s starting to skin, you …”
“It’s OK.” Gabrio held the little person carefully, smiled at him and said with a shy nod, “Give me a kiss”.
The little man immediately gave him a kiss on the cheek and then let out a “giggle” to Gabrio.
Gabrio’s heart melted and he suddenly wanted a daughter too.
Neto, as his father’s slave, looked at him and felt pain in his heart, his little heart, had not yet grown up and was kissing other men.
…
After a few more years, Gabrio’s hectic work schedule, night after night, took its toll on his health.
He was admitted to hospital.
When he was discharged from hospital, he had lost six kilos.
In recent years, the Institute has developed many new drugs that have led to important medical breakthroughs.
After being discharged from hospital, he applied to the institution for discharge.
The head of the institution took his efforts over the last few years seriously and, seeing that his health was failing, gave him the go-ahead.
True, he was once a guilty man, but his achievements have long since been offset by the intervening years.
Gabrio returned to Cloud Cit and took six months to recover before his health recovered.
On a spring weekend, Allyce’s family of four was going on a spring trip and called him to ask if he wanted to go, Neto didn’t refuse.
When he went there, he noticed that, in addition to the Allyce family of four, there was also the Neto family. Neto and Lucila usually live in Ciudad del Cielo and only return there when something comes up, and they were there, which seemed normal to Gabrio.
But there was another woman among them, Alonzo’s teacher, gentle and dignified, a few years younger and still unmarried.
Allyce’s intentions are clear.
It is also true that he is nearing the end of his life and everyone around him is very concerned about his lifelong commitment.
The teacher is very gentle and is a very suitable candidate for a wife.
At the end of the spring trip, Allyce approached him privately and asked: “What was your impression of Alonzo’s teacher?
Gabrio smiled and replied: “Very good.
Allyce’s eyes lit up as she continued with the question: “So, any plans to get closer to going out?
Gabrio remembers that when he leaves the house in the morning and stands in front of the dressing mirror to fix his appearance, he notices that he has grey hair on his temples and fine wrinkles at the end of his eyes.
The years have marked him.
But when I look at Allyce, still as young and energetic as she was in her twenties, I realise that the years have been very kind to her.
This is also a blessing.
Pulling back from his thoughts, he shifted his gaze elsewhere and said morosely: “It depends on fate.
Allyce knew it was a lost cause again.
She is worried about Gabrio.
When you are young, dreams and love are everything.
As you get older, you long for warmth and companionship.
Gabrio cannot live her whole life alone. She would be lonely, with no one to look after her when she is ill and no one to share her joys.
However, Gabrio’s attitude was gentle but insistent and Allyce could not force the situation too much, and never tried to introduce him to anyone afterwards.
Only that he often asked Gabrio to come to dinner.
That didn’t sit well with Severo the cheapskate.
Thus, two elderly men nearing the end of their lives have to dislike each other every time they meet.
“Do you have more grey hair?”
“Are you fat again? Watch out for high blood pressure if you don’t watch your diet again”.
Talk about banging the table and wanting to fight.
Allyce had to get her two sons, one to persuade the other.
This trick is played once every time the two men meet.
The number of times Allyce has seen this is not surprising.
The following year, Gabrio’s parents died and he began to feel lonely.
The hospital received the family of four people rescued from the fire.
The parents were not spared and the twin boys, who only suffocated, were not badly injured.
Gabrio adopted the twins and took them into his care.
He took the twins to Allyce’s house for a visit, and when he and Severo exchanged displeasure, they added one more comment: “I have two children, don’t be jealous of me.
This statement hits the nail on the head for Severo.
I wanted a daughter.
It turned out that Allyce’s second child was still a boy, and Allyce, knowing his preference for daughters, talked to him about having another son.
However, Severo was so distressed that he did not let him take any more.
That night, Severo took the two brats into his study and told them solemnly: “You two, when you grow up, the one who manages to take the little sister of The Ortis family as his wife will get ten percent more”.
This reached Gabrio’s ears, who pulled his youngest daughter towards him and ordered her: “Stay away from those two brats from La familia Betances, they will steal your candy and rag dolls.
The youngest daughter nodded dumbly: “Yes”.
Allyce told Lucila, who laughed: “You’re not grown up yet, so you’re acting like a child!
Neto, the slave daughter, has a different approach to them.
Quietly, he pulled his own daughter aside and instructed her, “Baby, stay away from the two little brothers of The Betances Family from now on. “
