Without waiting for their reply, Gavin chuckled and sat down right across Adriana. Looking at Mian who was still standing, he gestured her to sit down. "Come on Dr. Mian, sit down."
Left with no other choice, Mian sat down beside Adriana. She wanted to kill some time as Guang had instructed her to. She knew that making any move would not only be dangerous for her but also for Adrianna and others. Left with no other choice, she decided to play safe and not do anything which would alert Gavin.
"Do you know what is the most important thing for a baby? No matter how big or small the baby is, he will need his mother no matter what." Slumping on the chair, he chuckled, "I don't remember but people from the orphanage told me that I could barely open my eyes when I was found in the dumpster. So basically my mom was a horny youngster who got pregnant out of wedlock and then threw me away because she thought I wasn't important."
Staring at the ceiling for quite some time, he continued, "The bullies of the orphanage found out about my origin, they used to call me 'The Garbage Boy' and whenever I tried to play with them, they used to push away saying that I stink. Thinking that I really stink, I used to take long baths but no matter how clean I looked and how good I smelled, they never stopped bullying me."
Placing his hand on the table, he looked at Adriana and Mian. "I stayed in that orphanage for so many years but I had no friends because no one wanted to be friends with someone who was found in the dumpsters." Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled, "Well, what else could I accept? The woman who gave birth to me threw me away, how on earth was I supposed to trust other people?"
Grabbing the bottle, he opened the cap and poured a glass for himself, "Years later, Nathan's dad adopted me out of wedlock. That man already had a son and yet he adopted the garbage boy, how strange is that? To be honest, he loved me and not only that old man, even his wife and Nathan were always nice to me. But I never gave a damn about them, I always wanted to become a doctor and Nathan's family were super rich and had many connections so I decided to stay."
Taking a sip from the glass, he inquired, "Do you both know why I became a gynaecologist and not a dentist or physician?" Placing the glass on the table, he added, "After becoming a part of the rich family, I had access to the internet and other mediums which helped me do my research."
"Did you know that amongst the number of babies that are abandoned each year, most of them are from single women and teenagers?" Without waiting for her reply, he added, "And surprisingly, I am one of them."
Keeping quiet for quite some time, Mian sighed, "I know that you had a really rough childhood Gavin but what you are doing is wrong and—"
Cutting her off, Gavin snapped, "How is it wrong? All I do is make sure that all the single women do not abandon their baby, I just want to make sure that the baby is safe. And do you know how the babies are safe?" Without waiting for their reply, he added, "When they are away from their mothers."
Getting up, he made his way towards the other table which was placed not too far away from them. It was properly and neatly covered with a white cloth. "My main motive of coming to this country was you Dr. Mian but I also wanted to keep all the babies safe, I didn't want them to go through what I did."
Pausing for a while, he smiled, "You may have noticed that all the women who were kidnapped and later found dead were all unmarried. Apart from the unmarried thing, each and every one of them had a similar thing and that—"
Cutting him off, Mian frowned, "The missing fetus."
Without saying anything, Gavin smiled and slowly removed the white cloth off the table revealing more than a dozen different sized fetuses enclosed in big tubes.
Throwing her hand in her mouth, Adriana buried her head on Mian's shoulder and tightened her grip around Mian's hand.
Pursing her lips, Main glared at Gavin, "You are insane."
Scrunching his brows, Gavin explained, "Insane? How is this insane? I am keeping them safe. They will never be thrown in the dumpster, no one is going to call them 'The Garbage Boy' or say that they stink. Each and everyone is safe with me and—"
"Can you even hear yourself Gavin? You took so many innocent lives just because you had to go through something which wasn't appropriate. I genuinely feel bad for you and I am sorry that you had to go through so much when you were young but that one awful experience doesn't give you a right to take so many innocent lives. You are a Doctor Gavin, you are supposed to make sure that the mother and baby are healthy, not kill them," Mian snapped.
After witnessing Gavin's craziness, Mian almost lost her cool. She knew that he did not have a sound mind but seeing how he had stored all the fetuses made her soul shiver. According to the postmortem report of all the bodies that were found, someone had roughly pierced a sharp object on the victims lower abdomen and pulled the fetus out.
"Yes I know I am a doctor and this is why I am trying to keep them safe, they are happy this way and are also enjoying their life." Pointing towards one the tube, he chuckled, "Look at this one, it's growing too."
"What do you want from us Gavin?" Mian inquired.
Pointing towards an empty tube, he answered, "I want to fill this last tube as well."
