Chapter 71
“We named him Jack.”
Mrs Fuller said after a long silence.
‘Jack Joseph Fuller.”
Lori nodded, forcing a smile on her face. Jack. That was a nice name. A lovely name even.

If they were angry then she must have been out of her mind, because as far as memory served her, she was the one who was rushed to the hospital, she was
the one who gave birth to him.
“We blamed you for everything. For his death.”
“Jack. Jack was our miracle baby. He was supposed to be the one who changed things for us.”
‘Yoh have no idea how broken I felt when he died.”
Broken?! Lori scoffed. What about her? It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park for he either.
‘It was like all hope had been snatched away from me.”
Lori shook her head.
No. They didn’t have any right to make her feel that way. To make her feel like she didn’t care about him too.
“He was my son.”
“My son.”
She repeated as she pointed to herself.
‘I put him up for adoption because I loved him. Because I wanted to give him a better life…”
‘Not because I didn’t want him…
Mrs Fuller nodded.
I know. I understand that now. I’m sorry I ever made you feel like it was your fat.”
‘I’m sorry I kept you away from his grave so long…”
I’m sorry. Really.”
Lori sniffed. Blinking away tears as she tried to compose herself.
“Where? Where is he buried?’

At St Joseph Memorial. I can take you there…”
Lori shook her head.
‘I want to go alone.”
“It would be quite hard navigating the…”
“I want to go alone.”
Mrs Fuller nodded.

Okay. I’ll write down his plot number for you.”
After a while Lori left the store, but it didn’t mean she was going home. She dropped off the things she bought in the car and asked Tony to head home
without her.
He refused, protesting lightly but Lori assured him that she would be back home before dinner.
She took the first cab she saw after that to St Joseph’s Memorial.
Gabriel looked at the time, it was getting quite late, Tony and Lori should be back. In the time she had left, Draco had come over with reports. Apparently his grandfather had found out that he had a granddaughter a while ago. At least for the past two months. A nurse under Dr Calloway had given him the information but he chose to stay quiet, even after the baby was born, Gabriel didn’t know if it was because he truly didn’t want to meddle or he was waiting
