"What's wrong with our son?" Tayo gets very concerned, the doctor brings out a file of Gboyega's body scan.

"Turns out your son is a Supernatural." The doctor shows them the file, Olamide throws the file on the floor already pissed and confused.

"Bullshit, I and my wife aren't Supernaturals so it can't be possible for my son to be one." Olamide says angrily, the doctor stands up and picks up the file.

"Some just get it naturally and I'm afraid that unlike other people your son is a outcast." He says firmly, Tayo rolls on the ground of the doctor's office and tears rolled down from her eyes, she knew what the doctor meant while Olamide was confused cause he didn't mingle with others unlike his wife.

"What's an outcast?" Olamide gets really scared due to his wife behavior.
