Chapter 203
Daniel sighed softly as he stared at Lisa. He knew she was in so much pain but not from the cut it was her heart hurting and he hated to see her that way. He needed to do something.
“I’ll be leaving the country tomorrow. I should go check on Alfred and see if he’s okay” Daniel said and they both turned to him at once.
“What? You’re gonna put your life in danger. You know how much Andrew hates you. If he can kill Rhoda and frame you for it, I bet he will do worse when she knows you and Alfred are back to being friends. No, it’s too dangerous, you can’t go” Lisa said and Daniel sighed softly.
“He’s not even gonna know if I’m in the country. I was naive then that’s why he was able to frame me. I’m now a man Lisa and I’m capable of anything. Besides, it’s time I make him pay for framing me. It almost ruined my life” Daniel said and Mrs. Rebecca rolled her eyes at him.
“If you are going there, you must go with the motive of checking on Alfred. If not, you’re going nowhere. So I advise you to stay at home or remove the thought of revenge from your heart and go check on Alfred” Mrs. Rebecca said and Daniel smiled.
For the short period he’s known this woman called her mother, he noticed she has the kindest heart ever. She’s just too simple and forgives easily. She does not believe in revenge, she only believes in love and forgiveness. She’s a rare gem and he felt so lucky to have her as his mother.
“You gonna keep staring at me or say something,” Mrs. Rebecca said, jolting Daniel out of his thoughts.
“Ok then. I’ll just go check on Alfred, no bad feelings attached” Daniel said and raised his hands in surrender. Mrs. Rebecca smiled at him and turned to Lisa.
“Come, I’ll clean your wound,” she said.

***********
After Mrs. Rebecca had cleaned Lisa’s wound, she carried the quadruplets upstairs to spend time with them, while Daniel sat in the sitting room with his phone in his hands.
“Hey” Lisa smiled as she walked towards Daniel and sat beside him.
“Hey, how are you feeling?” Daniel asked in a concerned tone.
“I’m okay. It’s just a small cut, I’ll be fine” Lisa said and Daniel nodded in response.
Daniel then stared at Lisa, he knew that look on her face, she wanted to ask him something.
“Ok, go on ask,” Daniel said like he had read Lisa’s mind. Lisa wasn’t surprised though. It was Daniel, he knew her so much and could tell whenever something was on her mind.
“I was thinking, maybe I should come with you,” Lisa said and Daniel raised his eyebrows.
“No, you can’t come with me, Lisa. It’s too dangerous. What About the kids? Who’s gonna take care of them?” Daniel asked.
“Mommy is gonna take care of them. Please, let me come with you, I want to see her” Lisa said and Daniel nodded in disagreement.
“No Lisa. The kids need you now more than ever. If they don’t see you for a day, it will only make them more worried and fall sick. Once I get there I’ll make sure Alfred calls you, I promise….” Daniel said and Lisa nodded in Response.
Just then Daniel heard his phone ring.
“Oh, it’s Daisy. I’ll answer this” Daniel said as he kissed Lisa on her cheeks and stood up from the chair he was sitting on.
“Hey, Daisy. How are you” Daniel said as he put the phone to his ear and walked out of the house.
Lisa sighed softly. Daniel is right. The kids need her now that Alfred is not around and the fact that Isabella is still recovering. She should stay with them.
She stood up and walked upstairs to her room. Then she lay on the bed tiredly. Lots of thoughts ran through her mind.
She had missed Alfred a lot. She remembered when he was still there, she would pretend not to love him and try pushing him away but he just kept loving her and never left her side. He misses him a lot.
Meanwhile, Daniel is seen outside the house on a phone call with Daisy.
“Common Daisy… You and Freya will be coming to stay with Lisa and mom when I leave tomorrow. Mom is going to take care of you” Daniel said
“But Daniel, I don’t want you to go. The baby in my tummy doesn’t want you to leave” Daisy whined like a baby making Daniel sigh.
“Baby? The baby isn’t even up to a month, how does it speak and it doesn’t want me to go? Stop acting like a baby Daisy. I told you, it’s work. So, I need to leave and in no time I’ll be back alright, I promise” Daniel said and Daisy hummed.
“Williams will be coming to pick you up tomorrow morning. Now, go and rest. It’s been a long day” Daniel said and with that, he ended the call.
Just then he heard his phone ring. It was a call from Williams.
“Perfect timing, ” Daniel said as he answered the phone call.
“Sir, I booked your flight already and you’ll be leaving by 6 am tomorrow” Williams muttered and Daniel hummed.
“Ok then. I need you to do something else for me. Help me pick up Daisy and Freya and bring them to Lisa’s house by tomorrow. And have the driver pick me up from Lisa’s house at 5 am ” Daniel said
“Yes sir,” Williams said in response.

***********
A car screeched to a halt in front of Alfred’s mansion. The car door opens and Alfred is seen coming out of the car with his phone on his ear, answering a call.
Just then a tall figure walked out of the house. It was Andrew.
“Hey Alfred” Andrew spoke as he walked towards him and hugged him. Alfred smiled at him and hugged him.
“You didn’t tell me you were coming home. I heard you’ve been in town for two days and you didn’t bother calling or texting me” Alfred said as they both walked inside the house.
“Stop acting like a pussy. I was settling some important stuff, it’s all done now” Alfred said as the maids bowed their heads greeting him.
Alfred stared at them and looked away. He scrutinized the whole sitting room and found out it was still the same, just some little changes.
He misses home and now he’s back to make things right.
“How did you know I was in town?” Alfred asked Andrew as he climbed the stairs to his room.
“I have ears and eyes all over,” Andrew said and Alfred hummed…
