He Truly Forgot

Seeing his father's tears Roderick couldn't help but get emotional too. He held his father's hand. 

He says he forgot... 

"Dad..."

"You were just two days old when we first held you..." Gregory reminisced that day. " Your mother... We were already in the hospital... Our child... She was a beautiful baby--like an angel, but she didn't cry for a long time after birth... More than me, your mum was the most devastated, her health deteriorated a lot in just a day."

Roderick's eyes widened with surprise.

Mother had a stillbirth? Why didn't we know about it?

As Gregory understood it, he continued. " The angel statue in the garden... That's where we buried her - Angela Rose-Marie Sinclair. You two share a birthday... It's like you're twins." Gregory smiled a little. Roderick felt a prick in his heart.
