Chapter 214
It’s been two days and Alfred is still in the hospital, recovering. Lisa has been by his side, while he recovered.
Lisa and Alfred had just gotten off the phone with the quadruplets. They missed their parents. They just can’t wait for them to come back home.
Lisa sat beside Alfred going through her phone when she saw a video of Williams proposing to Dina. Lisa yelled happily and Alfred turned to her wondering why she was yelling.
“It’s Dina. Williams proposed to her already….” Lisa said and Alfred hummed.
“Seems like they’ve sorted themselves out already,” Alfred said and Lisa nodded in response. Lisa had told Alfred what transpired between Dina and Williams.
“I’m so happy for both of them. I need to call her now and congratulate her” Lisa said smiling. Alfred stared at her and then noticed how happy she truly is for her friend.
“Why don’t you call her later? Can you please go tell the doctor to discharge me, I’m tired of staying in this hospital bed already. I hate the smell of hospitals” Alfred said and Lisa sighed.
“We can’t discharge you. Not now. The doctors are still examining the injuries, they do not want them to contract any infection so they’re still monitoring it. You should be patient alright” Lisa said and Alfred stared at her for some seconds before nodding.
“You know you’re beautiful right?” Alfred said and Lisa smiled.
“Of course. I know I am extremely beautiful” Lisa said and Alfred laughed.
“I can see you have so much confidence in yourself,” Alfred said and Lisa chuckled. Just then she heard her phone ring. It was a call from her mom.
“It’s my mom,” Lisa said and answered the phone call.
“I’m outside the hospital ” Her mom’s voice echoed from the phone.
“I’m on my way,” Lisa said and ended the call. Her mom had told her she was going to visit Alfred in the hospital today so she left the kids with Daniel.
“My mom is outside. I’ll go get her” Lisa said and Alfred nodded. She kissed Alfred lightly on the lips before walking out of the ward.
Immediately, she walked out of the hospital, she met her mom speaking with some sort of strange woman. She couldn’t see the face of the woman but could only see her behind.
“Oh, Lisa is here” Mrs. Rebecca muttered as she saw Lisa and the strange woman turned to Lisa. Lisa opened her eyes in shock as she saw who the woman was. It’s her aunt Amanda, the wife of her uncle Damon.
“Lisa” her aunt Amanda called out in shock. She was so surprised to see Lisa had turned into a beautiful woman.
“Aunt Amanda” Lisa called out as her aunt Amanda moved towards her and hugged her.
“You have grown so fast. A little girl of yesterday” Her aunt Amanda said and Lisa laughed.
“What are you doing in the hospital aunt Amanda?” Lisa asked and Amanda sighed softly.
“It’s Damon. He was admitted to the hospital. He has cancer and the doctor said he isn’t going to survive it. He just has a few months to leave ” Her aunt Amanda said and Lisa muttered an oh, with no expression on her face.
She didn’t feel any pity for her uncle Damon because of what he had done to her and her mother. He betrayed her and her mother. He shot her mother and sold her out. Who does that? He’s just so heartless. He deserves to die, Lisa though
“Lisa, I know about everything Damon did. He confessed to me, he told me everything. He tried looking for you to make things right but he didn’t find you. He regrets everything he’s done, I hope you can forgive him” Amanda said and Lisa joined her lips together staring at her.
“Mom, Alfred’s ward is number 11. You can come when you are ready. I’m not interested in this conversation” Lisa said and with that, she walked away.
Amanda tried following her but Mrs. Rebecca held her.
“Give her time, she will come around and will forgive him too,” Mrs. Rebecca said and Amanda nodded.
“I’m so sorry for what he did to you and Lisa. He was just so selfish. Please forgive Rebecca ” Amanda cried and Mrs. Rebecca pulled her into a hug.
“Take me to his ward,” Mrs. Rebecca said.

Damon is seen lying on the hospital bed with all sorts of machines connected to him. He looked so pale and weak. His eyes were wide open staring at the ceiling.
Lots of thoughts going through his mind.
He’s made a lot of mistakes in the past, he just wished he could make up for everything and make things right again but he felt it was too late.
Just then Amanda and Rebecca walked in.
“Damon” Amanda called and Damon turned in their direction and surprisingly he saw Rebecca standing beside Amanda staring at him.
He felt his heartbeat increase automatically. At first, he thought he had seen a ghost. He remembered that night so vividly and clearly, he had shot Rebecca in the forehead and watched her bleed to death before dragging Lisa away.
She remembered how Lisa had pleaded with him to save her mommy but instead, he hit her in response.
“Y…. you are dead” Damon muttered looking as scared as ever. He felt like the spirit of Rebecca had come to haunt him because he killed her.
“She didn’t die, Damon. It’s Rebecca. It’s truly her. She’s alive” Amanda said as she stared at her husband with pity in her eyes.
Damon stared at Rebecca with tears in his eyes. He regrets what he did that night. He was so selfish that his love for wealth made him do the forbidden.
“R.. Rebecca…” Damon called out and burst into tears. He could still see the scar on the forehead where he had shot her. But she survived it, she is a fighter, Damon thought.
“Damon,” Mrs. Rebecca called out, not knowing what to say. Damon has done a lot of bad things to her and Lisa in the past.
“I’m sorry for the pain I caused you…”
