Alfred is seen standing inside Lisa’s ward staring at Lisa who was still unconscious. He stared at her with no expression on his face. He couldn’t believe Lisa was pregnant with his child, it’s a miracle.
He hopes when she wakes up everything will be fine again. He sighed softly as he felt guilty for everything he’s done to her and his child and just then Andrew walked inside the ward. He had actually taken Alfred to see Lisa but then on the other hand, he left him alone in the ward so he could at-least have a time alone with her.
“How’s she and the baby?” Alfred asked
“They’re fine. The doctor said we should hope she comes out of coma. If she doesn’t come out in time the baby might……” he paused and stared at Alfred who was looking so sober.
“There’s no need saying it. Let’s just hope she gets out of coma” Andrew said and Alfred nodded in response.
Just then he heard his phone ringing. He checked the caller’s ID and saw it was his PA. Then he remembered he has to attend a board meeting later in the day and he was calling to remind him.
“I’ll be on my way now. Call me if there’s anything” he said and with that he left in a hurry. Andrew sighed softly and stared at Lisa whose face was looking so peaceful as heaven.
He hopes when she wakes up, everything will be alright again. He thought and walked out of the ward. Immediately he walked out and Lisa, who was lying unconscious, moved a finger.

Days later
“Doctor, how’s she?” Alfred asked as the doctor walked out of Lisa’s ward smiling.
“She’s fine. She’s out of coma and I must confess she is a good fighter. She just need to rest” the doctor said smiling
“What about the baby?” Alfred asked worriedly And the doctor smiled at him.
“The babies are fine and are in perfect health” the doctor said and Alfred raised his eyebrow.
“Babies??” He asked again to be sure of what he just heard.
“Yeah. Babies. She’s pregnant with four babies.” the doctor said and Alfred opened his mouth wide in shock.
“Quadruplets?” Andrew said in shock too.
“Yes, congratulations” the doctor said in reply
“Can I see her now?” Alfred asked
“Yes but do not stress her much. She needs enough rest” the doctor said
“Thank you Doctor” Andrew said and the doctor nodded.
“We will do more tests on her and the babies before she’ll be discharged. I’ll have her transferred to another ward. Once again congratulations” the doctor said and with that he walked away from them to his office.
“Congratulations Alfred. Men!! You’re a good shooter ” Andrew laughed and hugged Alfred who was smiling.
“Thank you Andrew” Alfred said in reply but then his smiling face was replaced with a sad one.
“Hey what’s wrong?” Andrew asked worriedly.
“Do you think she’ll really want to see me after everything have done to her? Do you think she’ll ever forgive me?” Alfred asked and Andrew smiled.
“I know Lisa, she’s a good person and has a heart of gold, Ofcourse she’ll forgive you, just apologize and make her see you’re truly sorry for everything. I trust her” Andrew said and he nodded.
“Common buddy , you should go see her. The quadruplets are waiting for you” Andrew said smiling and Alfred chuckled and nodded before walking inside the ward.
Immediately he entered the ward , he met Lisa sleeping so peacefully. He felt tears slide down his cheeks at the sight of the injuries he’s inflicted on her.
He let his anger get the better of him. He should have controlled himself. He put her and his babies at risk.
A tear of joy was flowing down his cheeks because she’s Carrying his babies.
A tear of pain , because he had put her life and the babies life in danger.
A tear of happiness because he knows and believes deep down she’s going to be alright.
A tear of fulfillment because he’s going to be a father. When all hopes were lost and then this.
Just then the door to the ward opened and a nurse walked in. Alfred quickly wiped his tears. He just didn’t want anyone to see him crying.
The nurse who just walked in took some papers she forgot close to Lisa’s bed and walked out.
Alfred moved towards Lisa and sat close to her. He placed his hands on top of hers.
Lisa opened her eyes a bit when she felt a contact with her skin. Her vision was blurred as she couldn’t see the figure sitting close to her.
When her visions became cleared, she then noticed a figure sitting close to her. It was Alfred. “You bastard,” she thought angrily. There was this surge of anger that rushed through her veins. She felt like hitting him so hard till he passed out but she was just too weak to do anything, less raising a finger.
She wondered what he was doing here sitting with her. She thought he hated her. And come to think of it, she thought she was dead , but no she wasn’t. She survived.
She thought, as the memories of what happened before she was rushed to the hospital came running into her head like flash.
She gritted her teeth in anger as she stared at Alfred with hate in her eyes. She’d remembered how he called her a whore, how he whipped her till she bled. The thought of this alone made her hate him the most.
Just then the door to the hospital ward burst open. Lisa turned towards the direction and saw it was Andrew.
He had lied to Alfred that she seduced him when he knew deep down she didn’t and the repercussions for it. He hated Andrew now, he’s a liar, she thought as she stared at him with pure hatred in her eyes.
She had sworn that if she got out of this alive she was going to make them all pay for everything , no matter what it takes. And here she is alive.
“I believe I was granted a second chance to avenge myself ” she thought as she stared at Alfred with loathe in her eyes.
“Lisa” Alfred called out as he noticed she was lost staring at Andrew.
Lisa turned to him without saying a word.
“Lisa, I know how you must be feeling right now. I’m sorry Lisa..……” Alfred paused when he noticed Lisa was staring at him like he didn’t know him at all.
“No!! No!! It can’t be what I’m thinking” Alfred thought blinking helplessly.
“Who are you? What do you want from me?” Lisa said as tears slid down her cheeks. She quickly withdrew her hands from Alfred’s hands and suddenly she started screaming in horror.
Just then the nurses and doctor ran in.
