Chapter 173
Lisa and Daisy are seen inside the restaurant sitting on a vacant chair.
“What happened that night?” Daisy asked and Lisa sighed softly.
“We were ambushed and mom was killed by uncle Damon and he sold me out” Lisa paused as she felt the pain and betrayal coming back. It hurts so much.
“Oh my goodness!! Uncle Damon?” Daisy asked shocked and Lisa nodded.
“God!! Who would think he would betray his family that way? He was so kind” Daisy said and Lisa hummed.
“How come mom is alive? What happened? I had seen her die. She had lost consciousness in my eyes, it all happened in front of my eyes, how come ?” Lisa asked
“You know I had gone to the airport that day to bring my aunt and her child Freya. When we got home we met her unconscious and bleeding and you were nowhere to be found ” Daisy paused and sighed before continuing
“I and my aunt Maria had taken her to the hospital while I went to search for you but we couldn’t find you. I tried looking for you Lisa but you were nowhere and just one day I was coming back from the hospital I had seen some strange men coming out of the house and I had overheard them talking about mom.
Whoever they were talking to on the phone asked them to find mom and bring her dead body. I was scared. I had to go tell aunt Maria and she said the best way to protect mom was if we fly her out of the country.
She believed whoever those men were, they were so powerful and must have been the ones that had taken you and there was no way we could find you.
We had left the country that night for Singapore with mom still unconscious. We then admitted her to a new hospital when we arrived here.
The doctor told us she wouldn’t survive the bullets and that she would die but I didn’t believe it. I never gave up on her not even once because I knew she was a fighter and she was gonna pull through it.
Eventually, she did. She had survived but then she lost her memories. She couldn’t remember a thing, not even her name. It was a difficult time for us.
The bullet had done so much damage to her brain that when she had woken up we almost thought she was going crazy because she was no longer stable” Daisy paused as all the memories came rushing back to her head. She felt like it had all happened yesterday.
I had lost all hope but still didn’t give up on her. We went to different hospitals to book lots of sections for her and not to talk of the money we spent on her so she would be okay even though she couldn’t remember anything. Finally after so many years she was recovering and here we are” Daisy said and Lisa felt tears run down her cheeks.
“I thought she was dead. I had lost all hope. I had given up Daisy ” Lisa cried as she felt pain in her heart.
“No, she survived Lisa. She fought ” Daisy cried
“Yeah and now she doesn’t remember me anymore. She doesn’t even know she had a daughter like me and she had called me a psychopath” Lisa gave out a sad laugh and Daisy bit her lips. She clearly understands her pain.
Imagine thinking you’ve lost someone for good but you still kept so much hope they were still alive and then suddenly you found out they were alive, you were so happy and boom you realize they don’t remember you anymore. It’s as painful as hell. It hurts!
“Is there no way I can make her remember me?” Lisa asked
“Nah!! Forcing her to remember things is gonna cause a lot of damage to her brain except she tries to remember herself aside from that there’s no other way” Daisy said and Lisa nodded.
“What about your aunt Maria? I see her child Freya is so grown” Lisa smiled
“Oh yes. Aunt Maria is no more. She died of cancer early last year” Daisy smiled
“Oh my goodness!! I’m so sorry. It must be tough for Freya” Lisa said
“Oh yes, of course, it was not easy but with the help of mom, she’s gradually moving on,” Daisy said Lisa nodded in response, and then silence took over like they were both in deep thought.
Just then Daisy spoke, breaking the silence.
“You know for a few seconds I thought you were already dead. Before we left the country I had gone to look for uncle Damon but I didn’t find him. I just thought he didn’t know about any of this not knowing he was the mastermind. How can he be so heartless? He deserves to die a miserable death” Daisy said feeling angry and sad. She felt so hurt.
“I felt so sad when I knew he was the one that betrayed us. I trusted him and even took him like he was my father. Who would believe he would do that to me and my mom?” Lisa said and Daisy shook her head.
“I’m glad mom’s alive. I just wish I can hug her, kiss her and tell her how much I kissed her. How I had sleepless nights thinking about her, how it was hard for me to cope without her by my side. But I just can’t. I just wish she can remember me” Lisa said and Daisy sighed softly.
“Maybe we can start from somewhere,” Daisy said and Lisa raised her eyebrows gaping at her.
“Start from somewhere how?” Lisa asked
“I’m going to introduce you to her. She’s still your mother and you are her daughter. She gave birth to you and one way or the other she’s gonna feel the connection between you guys. Maybe you being close to her might help her remember some things but I must say it’s gonna be risky” Daisy said and Lisa stared at her without saying a word.
Just the daisy heard her phone ring. It was a call from Freya.
“It’s Freya,” she said as she answered the phone
“Freya” Daisy called
“Aunt Daisy, Mr. Daniel is awake,” Freya said
“Ok, I’ll be right there,” Daisy said and ended the call.
“What happened?” Lisa asked
“Uhm, a friend of mine, Daniel that’s in the hospital. He’s awake, I need to go see him” Daisy said
Lisa began to wonder how many Daniel was in the hospital or if it was her Daniel Daisy is talking about because she had heard Freya talking about Daniel in ward 008 and that was the ward Daniel was admitted in.
