Chapter 201
“I love you, Alfred. I do love you. Promise me you’ll be back” she cried as the rain soaked her hair and her body.
“I promise you, I’ll be back,” Alfred said and smiled at her and then turned to leave. He let go of her hands and entered the car.
He stared at Lisa who was under the rain and with that, he zoomed off.
“I’m coming for you, Andrew. I’m going to make you pay for everything ”

It was morning and a Brand new day. Lisa had woken up feeling so tired. She didn’t feel like standing up from the bed but right now she didn’t have any choice, not when she was supposed to make sure the kids got dressed for school.
She missed Alfred so much. She was sure he had already left Singapore because his flight was pushed to this morning. She remembered last night, she had told him she loved him. It was the truth, she was really in love with him. He had promised to come back to her. She just hopes he keeps to his promise and comes back to her and the kids.
Lisa managed to stand up from the bed. She walked inside the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and took her bath. She walked out of the bathroom with a towel tied around her chest.
She walked towards the wardrobe and brought out an easy wear and put it on. After that, she walked out of her room to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. After she was done she walked upstairs to the kid’s room and to her surprise she saw them already dressed for school.
Lisa was so surprised. This was the first time in history her kids got dressed for school by themselves. It was a miracle.
“Mommy we dressed for school already” Annabella yelled happily as Lisa walked inside the room making Lisa smile.
“Mommy, Daddy told us we should be waking up early so we can get a dress on our own,” Clarabella said, smiling.
“Yes mommy, Daddy said we should support you in the little ways we can so you won’t be stressed out. He said we are big girls now” Arabella said and Lisa felt tears gathering in her eyes.
Oh, Alfred, she muttered speechlessly as she held the tears that were threatening to fall off her cheeks. Whatever the kids just said had just melted her heart. This made her love the Kids and Alfred the most. He’s taught them a lot of things.
“Mommy we don’t want to be late for school. I’m going to the dining room” Clarabella said and ran out of the room with Annabella and Arabella trailing behind her.
Lisa smiled as she watched them run out of the room. The kids were filled with so much energy. She then turned to stare at the room. She had noticed she didn’t see Isabella when she walked in, and she wondered where she was.
“Isabella honey” Lisa called and Isabella walked out of the bathroom looking tired, pale, and weak. She was also dressed for school.
“Honey, is everything Alright?” Lisa asked as she walked towards her and touched her body and to her surprise, she was burning hot.
“Honey, your body is hot,” Lisa said as she carried her and helped her lie on the bed.
“I’ll go call the doctor alright,” Lisa said and stood up from the bed was about to walk out of the room when Isabella held her hands.
“Mommy where is daddy?” Isabella asked as Lisa turned to her. Lisa sighed softly, she heard the dream Isabella was telling Alfred about last night.
She was worried about Alfred and she was sure that was the reason she was sick. Isabella is daddy’s girl.
“Honey, Daddy is going to be fine,” Lisa said Isabella nodded her head negatively.
“No mommy. I had a bad dream. A man shot daddy and he died on the ground. No one came to save him and he mentioned the name of the man who shot him……” Isabella paused as tears slid down her cheeks.
“What name?” Lisa asked.
“Andrew,” Isabella said as tears slid down her cheeks. Lisa felt a cold shiver run down her spine. She felt so scared. What if Alfred is walking into danger? Andrew is dangerous and she hopes he doesn’t hurt Alfred in any way.
“Come here honey, ” Lisa said and pulled her into a warm hug.
“Everything is going to be fine, Daddy is going to be fine,” Lisa said assuring her little princess even though she knew nothing was going to be fine so far Andrew still lives and she was so sure Alfred was walking into his trap.
“Honey, I’ll go call the doctor now,” Lisa said and helped Isabella lie on the bed before walking out of the room.

Lisa is seen with the doctor walking out of Isabella’s room.
“She’s going to be fine Mrs. Lisa. Just make sure she takes the drugs I prescribed ” The doctor said and Lisa smiled at him.
“Thank you, Doctor,” Lisa said and the doctor nodded in response as he walked out of the house.
Lisa sighed softly and was about to go inside the kitchen to prepare Isabella’s favorite. She thinks cooking her favorite food might help her speed up her recovery.
Just then the door burst open revealing Daniel. Lisa had called him earlier on to come to help her drop the rest of the kids at school and he had just come back from school.
“Oh, Thank God you are here. I need you to stay with Isabella in her room while I prepare her favorite. Might help speed her recovery” Lisa said and was about to walk inside the kitchen but then Daniel called her name making her stop.
“Are you alright Lisa?” Daniel asked as she turned to him and force herself to smile.
“Of course, I’m okay. I’m fine” Lisa smiled and Daniel sighed softly.
“I have known you for more than six years, Lisa. And I can tell you that you are lying and that you are okay” Daniel said and Lisa bit her inner lips.
“Fine then, you caught me. I’m sure not fine Daniel. How do you expect me to be okay with all this happening? Isabella is sick and she keeps having this strange dream that Alfred was shot by Andrew and he died. And I have been trying to contact Alfred but his number hasn’t been going through…”
