Chapter 100
How she found out the man on the mask was no one but her uncle Damon. Her father’s brother. The man she took as her father after the death of her biological father.
How she felt betrayed by him. How Everything had happened so fast. She felt all alone.
Suddenly she heard her name. “Lisa” she heard someone call her name. That voice she recognized. It was Daniel’s voice.
“Lisa” she felt a hand grab her and suddenly she opened her eyes and returned to reality.
“Are you alright?” Daniel asked
“What happened?” Lisa asked as she looked around. She saw Martha on the ground in the pool of her blood. She was shot in the leg.
“I’ll make you pay Lisa” she cried as they carried her away.
She turned around and saw Joy on the ground with Julia crying. Derek was crying too. “What happened to her?” Lisa asked.
“She was shot by Martha,” Daniel said and Lisa rushed towards them.
She saw joy was shot in her chest, she was bleeding so badly.
“Oh my goodness, joy” Lisa called as tears slipped down her cheeks.
“No no, this can’t be happening. Somebody call the ambulance ” Lisa yelled.
“Lisa, Li… sa” joy called out weakly.
“Save your breath, joy. The ambulance is on its way. You’re gonna be fine alright ” Lisa said and joy smiled out tears.
“I was so blinded by hatred to see that you were the kindest person on earth and I swear to God, I regret my decision ” joy cried weakly.
“I’m so sorry, Lisa. I just hope you’re able to forgive me. It was never my plan to poison you or kill Liam. It was all Martha’s plan, ”Joy said as sadness swept through her.
Lisa stood there without saying a word. Tears slid down her cheeks. She trusted joy and Martha so much and treated them like sisters. She couldn’t believe they could do much for her.
“I’m sorry sister. I know you’re disappointed in me right now. I just hope you forgive me, ”Joy said to her sister, Julia.
“Always remember one thing, I love you Julia” Joy said and Julia felt her heart break into pieces.
“You’re gonna be fine, please save your strength and stop talking, please ” Julia whimpered.
Just then the ambulance arrived and they took the joy away. Derek, who was in tears, helped Julia stand up from the ground and hugged her tightly.
“She’s going to be fine,” Derek consoled.
More tears slipped down Lisa’s cheeks as she stared at Julia who was in tears. She turned around and hugged Daniel as she cried in his arms.
“It’s alright, let’s go, Lisa,” Daniel said and Lisa nodded and pulled away from the big and walked out of the warehouse.
Immediately after she got outside the warehouse the first person she saw was Williams. He was holding baby Clara in his arms. Both of their eyes came in contact.
The words he had told her weeks back came running into her head like flash.
“Your enemies are out there strategizing another plan to get rid of you once and for all and you’re here accusing the innocent. Better watch your back because you might not be poisoned this time, it might be a bullet straight to your forehead and it will be from someone you never expected it from”
He was right after all. She never expected Martha would do such a thing to her. She sighed softly and walked toward Liam.
“Thank you,” Lisa said as she carried Clara from him.
“You should take her to the hospital. The sleeping drugs they induced her with was too much” William said and Lisa nodded before walking towards her car.
She entered the car with baby Clara in her arms. She looked outside the window of the car and watched Derek and Julia enter Daniel’s other car and the driver took off.
Daniel stood there speaking with the DPO. He shook hands with him before walking away. He walked towards the car and met with Williams.
He had given him the key to the car and told him to the driver. Williams took the key and hopped into the driver’s seat, while Daniel sat close to Lisa in the passenger seat.
“We’re gonna branch the hospital first. We need to make sure this child is okay” Daniel said and Williams nodded before igniting the engine and zooming off.
When they had gotten to the hospital. The doctor had checked on Clara. He told Lisa she was going to be fine. The sleeping pills she was induced with were just excess, so by tomorrow it would be out of her system and she would be awake.
Lisa nodded. She sat beside Clara on the hospital bed as she stared at her beautiful face.
“You’re gonna be fine. Your mommy is going to be fine” Lisa said as she stroked her hair softly.
Just then Daniel walked in. “You should go check on Julia. She’s standing in the emergency unit where her sister is being attended to. I’ll stay with Clara” Daniel said and Lisa nodded.
She kissed Clara on her forehead before walking out of the ward.
She walked towards Derek and Julia who stood close to the emergency unit watching joy from transparent glass.
Lisa stood close to them watching her. She was on oxygen.
“How’s she? What did the doctor say?” Lisa asked
“She’s lucky, the bullet didn’t meet her heart,” Julia said, staring at her sister who was on oxygen.
“She’s going to survive, ” Derek said and Lisa heaved a sigh of relief. That’s good news, she thought.
“You should go home and rest Lisa. You seriously need to rest. Stressing isn’t good for you or your pregnancy. It might lead to miscarriage. A lot has happened today so we wouldn’t want anything to happen to you. Please go home and rest ” Julia said to Lisa. Lisa smiled and nodded at her.
“Thank you” Lisa said
