Chapter Twenty-Seven

“What about my father?” Gabriel’s heart skipped a beat.

“Damn it, Osho.” Nate glared at the doctor.

“Nathaniel, I understand your desire to keep him safe, but he deserves to know.” Dr. Osho put his hand on Gabriel’s shoulder. “I’m sure Calvin regretted never being able to tell him himself. Let’s speak in my office.”

Gabriel still leaned on Nate. He could barely walk as he stepped out into the hall.

“You alright?” Nate let him stand a bit on his own.

“What did Dad have to do with him?” Gabriel wanted to know.

Nate didn’t say a thing, he glanced back into the room and huffed, clearly annoyed at Osho.

“Nate.” Gabriel stared at him.

“This was a conversation I did not want to have.” Nate stared back at him.

“Why not?” Gabriel demanded.

“Because you’re like your father.” Nate half-smiled. “You’re not one to walk away from a fight.”

What did Nate mean by that?

Osho exited the room as several members of a medical team arrived. “I want someone in there at all times. Update me regularly.” He waved them inside to Kyrie. “You two follow me.”

A short walk later, they entered Dr. Osho’s office again. Gabriel couldn’t wait any longer. “How do you know my father?”

“Calvin and I started this whole place after he discovered the ore in what used to be Iran. This research facility is owned by the Ingenis Pluris.” Osho smiled at him and shut the door. “The IP has been continuing your father’s research since his death. I haven’t seen you since you were a little boy, sitting in your father’s lap.”

“I don’t understand.” Gabriel quickly took a seat in front of the desk. Nate sat beside him. “Why wasn’t I told?”

Nate sighed. “Your mother wanted to keep you and your brother safe, and she felt the only way was to never be a part of this again. She didn’t want anything to happen to you boys, and she knew you would be at risk if you were connected in any way to what your father did. I moved in to watch over the family. Your dad wanted to make sure everyone was safe.”

“Safe from whom?”

“Dr. Cymru. From TERA.” Nate’s response was blunt.

Gabriel sighed. “Adin.”

“Yeah,” Nate reached out and gripped Gabriel’s knee, “we know.”

Gabriel rolled his eyes. “I left him there.”

“You didn’t have a choice.” Nate shrugged.

“Dr. Cymru knew about your father, which means he knew there was a possibility that you and Adin might have inherited his unique connection to the ore.” Dr. Osho cleared his throat and settled in behind his desk.

“Connection? What are you talking about? I’m the one with the crystal in my chest, not Adin. And Dad died from accidental ore radiation! What are you talking about?”

Nate stared at him. “Your father was like you. He was immune to the ore’s effects. It could not have killed him.”

He stared at Nate. “You’re saying Dr. Cymru killed him?”

“No … the man’s a coward. But he most definitely had a hand in it.” Nate’s nostrils flared.

Osho sighed. “Once the ore
