Anna could be heard sighing when she heard what Sarah had just said.
"You doctors don't seem to check the latest gossip," she said, sounding tired.
Sarah was still very confused when she heard that. Latest gossip?
Well, it's still working hours and basically she's not someone who relies on her cellphone to check on gossip.
She doesn't even have a social media account because she isn't really addicted on her cellphone.
"Looks like you have to see for yourself, but don't hang up the call," Anna said in a worried tone.
"Okay," Sarah replied and immediately opened her internet browser to see the latest gossip that Anna was talking about.
Sarah's brow furrowed when she saw that Michael Collins' name was on the top of the most popular searches in real time, and the second was Collins.
Without needing to be told, Sarah immediately knew that the gossip Anna was referring to was about Michael.
Did something happen to Michael? Or, once again Michael was involved in a scandal, with a woman?
Subconsciously, Sarah licked her own lips at the thought of that possibility.
Her current relationship with Michael can be said to be like… cohabitation? The kids' parents
She and Michael did not have a romantic relationship.
Even though Michael says to give him a chance, and looks like he loves her, Michael hasn't asked about her feelings again, has he?
Maybe… apart from her, Michael is also close to other women.
Well, she'd done that with Arthur before too, and that was totally fine. Michael has every right to do that.
However, for some reason Sarah felt something inside her that seemed to scream that she didn't like it. She didn't like the thought that Michael was closer with another woman too.
"Sarah?"
The voice from Anna who was still on the phone brought Sarah out of her thoughts.
"Just a minute," Sarah replied and then started writing Michael's name in the search bar, to find out what was going on.
[Michael Collins Has Illegitimate kids]
Sarah's eyes widened as she read the first article that came out of her search. She knew this must be a scandal, and she thought it must be a scandal with a woman, that's why Anna was worried about her.
Never once did Sarah think that the scandal that would arise would be about her kids.
Sarah then clicked on the news article. Photo of Michael, the twins, and her walking in the park near their apartment, was in the article. Luckily her face and the kids were censored, so it made Sarah feel a little relieved about that.
However, it did not relieve Sarah at all! Her and the kids's photos have gone viral on the internet in a way they shouldn't!
It wasn't just one photo, there were several photos taken, and from the look on Michael's face, the man looked very happy. The photo then ends with the back of the four of them returning to the apartment.
Sarah's hand then scrolled down, and found some comments from people who left comments there.
[What?! Michael has kids? Oh my! I thought he was a single man. I didn't expect him to have kids at all!]
[D*mn! It seems that there are no more men I can trust in this world! All that said is that single men already have kids! From the photo, it looks like the kids are four to six years old!]
[It seems he has been living with the woman and his illegitimate child. The woman must have been so happy to have caught Michael Collins. How much do you think the price of the apartment they live in is?]
Sarah's face began to change when she read the comments that were now starting to attack her. She still managed to remain calm when he read the comments of those who were disappointed with Michael, but was starting to get annoyed with the people who commented on her.
[The names of the kids are Raphael and Gabriel. I have their picture on my ig! You can see it at @fallen_angel4869]
Sarah's eyes widen when she reads a comment that said has photos of her kids.
"Anna! Are you there?" Sarah asked, trying to contain her irritation.
"Yes! Are you alright?" asked Anna who was still connected to the call.
Sarah then asked Anna for help to check the social media account, to see if she was telling the truth, about the account having photos of her kids.
"That… Yes, Sarah. That account has it. I'll send you a screenshot," Anna replied then not long after, Sarah had received a message from Anna.
Sarah's eyes widened when she saw it was a photo of her kids who had just gotten off the school bus and were in front of their school.
Her hands were shaking, the photos of her kids…. How can photos of her kids now spread on the internet like this?
Sarah couldn't accept that. She doesn't mind when she takes photos of her kids, because she's their Mommy! However, a stranger took photos of her kids and posted them on the internet!
"Sarah?" said Anna who sounded worried.
As a fellow mother, Anna could understand that this was something serious. That's why she was worried about Sarah.
Other people take pictures of our kids, and post them on the internet without permission, not to mention the contents of the comments are not very good to read.
"I… Thanks for telling me about this, Anna. I have to go first!" said Sarah with a slightly shaken state and then immediately hung up the call before Anna answered it.
Sarah then immediately went out to change her clothes, this time it was no longer the white doctor's uniform, but the clothes she wore when she came to work.
She had to go check on her kids!
With this kind of furore, and her kids's identities exposed, Sarah couldn't calm her feelings. Her hunch said something bad was about to happen!
***
As soon as the cab taking Sarah stopped in front of the Twins' school, Sarah's eyes widened when she saw so many people coming with cameras, it seemed they were reporters and were waiting.
Soon the kids will be home from school, so it seems they are waiting to get news.
Sarah swallowed her saliva seeing the crowd, she then asked the cab driver to wait for her because it looks like she will have a hard time escaping from this place.
Sarah then sighed, trying to regulate her facial expression then got out of the car and walked into the school.
The eyes of the people who were waiting immediately looked at Sarah with curious eyes, some of them seemed to be whispering to ask their colleagues if she was the woman in the photo.
Sarah was trying to act normal even though there were a few dozen eyes staring at her right now, and it seemed to work quite well because they ignored her and didn't take a picture of her.
As Sarah approached the entrance, she could hear the school bell ringing. The corridor, which had been quiet before, was soon bustling with kids coming out of their classrooms.
Sarah then quickened her pace towards her kids's class. Today was her turn to pick up the kids because Michael couldn't pick them up.
Once there, Sarah could see her kids, they were a little flashy with the Batman bag they were wearing. However, Sarah's expression changed when she saw that there were three adults in front of them. One was the kids' teacher, and one of the two seemed to be holding a camera.
With hasty steps, Sarah approached them.
"What do you think you are doing?!" said Sarah and stood in front of her kids protecting them, as the teacher did.
"Ah! You must be the woman who had an illegitimate child with Michael! Can we interview you for a moment?" said one of the two people with a big smile on her face.
She didn't expect that he would get an opportunity like this.
"Get lost!" Sarah said sharply then held her son's hands and left after looking at the kids' teacher with a grateful look.
However, the two of them did not give up and continued to approach Sarah. The one who held the camera didn't forget to point the camera to take a picture of the woman.
"Are the rumors circulating true, you took advantage of Michael Collins by using your kids?" asked the other person, who seemed to be the reporter.
Sarah was still silent, closed her mouth tightly and quickened her footsteps while pulling her two kids who were starting to struggle to keep up with her steps.
She realized this because she heard Gabriel's protestation complaining of pain and telling her to walk slowly. However, Sarah didn't slow her pace at all.
Her heart ached to hear her son groaning in pain, but she couldn't slow down her steps.
As soon as they finally exited the school building, the several dozen waiting people immediately surrounded them like a swarm of ants surrounding sugar.
Sarah could feel the lights from the camera flashed and recording them, and she could hear the questions that sounded like cornering.
Like her taking advantage of Michael using her kids, or how much money she's made.
Sarah could endure it, but she completely exploded when a question caught her ear.
"Little kid. Is Michael Collins really your father? Don't you have another father?"
